This really was a great performance. What a drummer indeed. Eric Clapton's Crossroad Guitar Festivals, that began in Dallas 2004, benefit his Crossroads Addiction Recovery Centre on the island of Antigua. The other guitar player on stage is Doyle Bramhall Jr. His dad DB Sr, a drummer, grew up in the same neighborhood with Jimmy and Stevie Ray Vaughan. He wrote a lot of songs with Stevie Ray and they played a lot gigs togethher. Doyle Bramhall Jr literally grew up with Stevie Ray Vaughan and a lot of other Blues musicians in his own living room. Awesome reaction. 😊✌🏻💙
You should react to Derek and the Dominos Live at Fillmore - Why does love got to be so sad. 15 minutes of pure genius playing by Eric. One of the best solos ever
ADOGG! Man you are incredible. I love this one and the fact that I heard it here is just making my day, weekend, month! If I could provide a little background for the song. Eric Clapton gained popularity in the 1960s through his bands the Yardbirds and Cream. Ironically, Eric never had any intention to make commercial music. The greatest of his music was pure in whatever genre he played whether blues, psychedelic rock, and later country. This is what people liked about Eric, the fact that he was so real. One of Eric's deepest and longest friendships was with the Beatle George Harrison. Each admired something about the other. Eric, like everyone, was impressed with the Beatles fame and camaraderie as a group unit. George liked the free-agent tendencies Eric had. A great music collaboration came in 1968 when Eric played the lead guitar on the Beatles record and Harrison composition While My Guitar Gently Weeps. In late 1969, Eric and George discovered a talented bluesy duet named Delaney and Bonnie. (A married couple, last name Bramlett.) Eric and George performed concerts with the Bramletts. Eventually members of Delaney and Bonnie would help George make his landmark album All Things Must Pass in 1970. Also in 1970, Eric formed a new band, Derek and the Dominos, with three ex-members of Delaney and Bonnie. They created the fantastic album Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs. The title song Layla was Eric's plea of longing for George Harrison's wife Patti. Won't go into that here, but the story is well-documented if anyone reading this is interested to know. Got to Get Better in a Little While wasn't on the album, but there are great live versions from 1970 on the Johnny Cash TV show as well as Live at the Fillmore East. Due to heavy drug abuse, the band never finished a second album and was quitely dissolved. Fortunately, Eric Clapton and this great song have both survived.
I don't usually watch reaction videos, but this is my favorite Clapton/Derek and the Dominos track, and has been since the 90's when "Live at the Fillmore East" came out. Watching your reaction gave me goosebumps like I was hearing it first time as well. Same goosebumps I had when I saw him live 4 months ago.
Clapton is one of a very few true guitar gods & the man can do the blues with the very best & has. Came to this channel after bingeing your other channel, darealdogg. Now your newest sub here. 🙏❤️
That drummer is the legendary session ace Steve Jordan🎉

The drummer is Steve Jordan. He's brilliant. He's playing with a little band called The Rolling Stones right now.
You have to give the bass player some respect, the drummer and bass carried that nicely.
Eric can play several styles, but he is mainly a blues musician. He has played with just about everybody, including recording an album with B.B. King.
Pardon me while this makes me dance 💃🏻
Eric Clapton IS God on the guitar ❤ That title is TRUE!!! 🎸🎶🎵🎶

Thanks for this “behind the music” look. I knew a lot of it, but not all.
Thanks for posting this, Adogg! (I've been telling people for decades, that: "Better days are comin'!!!")
Steve Jordan on drums is just fantastic.

Steve Jordan is so good, I find him to be the best part of the band. He can lay down a groove.
