One of the best guitarist 🎸 I'm 80.years old I like this band ❤❤❤
Eric was unique, don't you think the same? Do you like other bands? I love king crimson and procol harum
A respectful tribute to the late, great Gary Brooker. No one - No one - will ever be able to fill those amazing vocal 'shoes' ...Gary was a master.
Gracias Soy de Chile
Along with Steve Winwood, Gary Brooker was the prototypical British rock tenor -- not to mention a superb composer and arranger.
I could not agree more
perhaps steve winwood... another legend...and so underrated!
He's still the best!!!! Great tribute to his old pal Gary Brooker. Loved every second of this. 👍👌
💙
Great to see Eric looking so fit and well and still showing us all how it's done.....
imagine a world without Eric Clapton... what a shame it would be...
Eric at 79 years young.
His voice is as great as his guitar playing.
Thank you for the journey.
I've never seen this video. Thanks Eric remembering Gary Brooker...
Why?! Why?! Whenever Eric Clapton covers any songs it just sound so so good! What a musician he is. I grew up listening to his songs and still he amazes me till today.
EC is like a 5 star chef who has decades of experience and creativity who can cook just about anything and make it taste like it's a gourmet dinner. Eric sees himself as a "journeyman" but he has earned the title "master craftsman" for his sublime and impeccable style.
OMG, thank god the guy on the keys chimed in! Saved both Eric and the song. The voice is gone the legend remains.
Touches them with his sound singing and playing.
It’s because he covering an amazingly great song, and I love Eric Clapton but go and watch a video of gary booker (I believe that’s original singer and composer) playing piano and singing this song with an orchestra…. It would probably blow you away. The lyrics are actually rubbish, they actually don’t mean anything, they were just bunch of random Unrelated phrases one of the band member had written down, and they put some of them together for this song. The songs piano melody, that Booker created while just noodling around one day, and it’s just one of those things in music, that universally is pleasing to most humans, and brings out a strong emotional connection…I mean, this one of the top funeral songs actually, and I can promise you it’s not because of the lyric, it’s because it’s the melody arrangement evokes strong emotions in people. Probably why you loved Claptons cover of it, enough to comment on it. Music is life ✌️
@@markgriffiths3262excuse me? The voice is gone? This song is gentle.. it’s not supposed to be sung loud my Gd .. Eric you played and sung it perfectly 💝
Clapton's solo tone is so perfect.
Still a classic tune & covered with respect to Gary Brooker, who often appeared on stage with Eric. So many gone, so few remain to 'sing the songs'. Bless you all for the joy you delivered through the years!
What can I say? Great song! Saw Clapton play this song with Gary Brooker. in the early 80's
@@danielbarrett8236 same here Wolverhampton 81
.... was wäre die Musik ohne die 60 u. 70er. Unvorstellbar !! Danke Eric & Band. Bitte weiter so u. alles gute für 2023, on Stage.
Clapton still has it.
What a beautiful tribute to Gary..so many gone too soon...🥲🎶
Great tribute to Gary Brooker's fantastic performance on this classic Rock ballad from the late 1960's - Clapton does a splendid job
No idea that Eric Clapton did this song years ago with its original vocalist . And when I discovered it back in 2018 or 2017, I didn't think someone could perform on it live with guitar.But Eric did
and so will I one day.Rest in Peace to Gary Booker , whom I heard died within the last year .
Brooker also performed this song when he toured with Ringo Starr.
Great song, great version of this song. Fortunate to have seen Gary Brooker sing this when he was part of Eric's touring band. What a treat it must have been to see this performed in such an intimate setting.
Paul Carrack on keyboard- great voice - and multi instrumentalist @ Woking leisure centre
Beautiful tribute from Eric, his voice is still so good 💖
Yes it was a great tribute Gary Brooker !
As we remember/admire the late Gary Brooker, he has risen in glory and rests in peace. 💕
I was lucky enough to see EC's band with Gary Brooker do this with Bonnie Bramlett amazing harmonies in a version of the classic. RIP Gary.
Loved Bonnie Bramlett; saw her et al live once. Didn't know she performed this with Gary Brooker.
@Coogan After he used blatantly racist language. I would have broken his skull.
This song was "the" one that made me learn piano. And of course, I can´t get enough of EC, what a legend.
Amazing . I went to the gig on New Year’s Eve at a leisure Center with about 400 people . That moment in your life where you have no words .
Truly amazing .
It was a special night
Wonderful thanks Eric
This man with his love and respect for his fellow musicians is exemplary. So much love in his tributes.
Love you Gary Brooker, you were unique, my favourite pianist ever. Love you... Procol Harum and king crimson, my favourites.
Great tribute to a great artist Gary Brooker by another great musician Eric Clapton. Classic song.
OMG song was written for him! What a classy act! What a man! LONG LIVE ERIC CLAPTON!
Eric Clapton the best!
so nice....all great musicians...paying tribute to another great musician......wonderful to see and hear this....thanks
They played this song on the Ken Burns Vietnam documentary at the close of one of the episodes and it just made me view this song totally differently. It's a really haunting song. Clapton is my hero forever. He always does justice to everything he touches.
I don’t think anyone could ever cover this song and have it be as good as the original. However, does anyone else recognize the brilliance, the nuances that make this version so great? God bless you Eric Clapton. You never disappoint.
So True..He is a Master..Their will never be another like Eric Clapton..
Oh merci pour cette magnifique version d'un des meilleurs guitariste de tous les temps,yes Éric Clapton 🎸🎹💕
The descending chords are intriguing
Thanks for sharing this. Great job as always Eric, R.I.P. Gary.
... and now RIP Keith.
He can still sing his heart out 👏
Saw him play this many years ago (around 1980-81 or so) with Gary Brooker playing keyboards in EC’s band, and Gary taking the lead vocal. Just as magical all these years later!
what a goog job !!!!!!!!forever Clapton and his frends !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So many beautiful songs by Procol Harum. My favorite is Exotic Birds and Fruits! RIP Gary, you'll always be remembered for your beautiful lyrics!
Lyrics came from Keith Reid 🤔. But indeed great music.
@@ericvanhavelte1611 Who gives a shit who wrote the lyrics, it's still an awesome album!
Youre comment About lyrics! Not mine.
Exotic Birds is not a song !! It's the title of the album God Bless Procol !!
@Alain Dounont No shit Sherlock. Put down the pipe and try reading the post MORON! RE my favorite album. Try not to bother me with your idiotic replies.
Very moving tribute to Eric's old pal R.I.P.
RIP Keith Reid. The best lyricist a band could ever have
Happy new year from Athens! My first song for the year! Love Eric Clapton
Eric puts a special grief in this song. He doesn't sing it, he feels it. Also the loss of a college. I'm crying.
Me too! How Eric just knows is phenomenal 🙏He feels it from not only his heart but his soul including every fibre in his body🌟Absolutely Riveting 🙏💖
@@Chatti16 absolutely 🎸🌹😘🔥❤️
A música do século com o guitarrista do século.
Gary Brooker inesquecível
This is my favorite piece to cover. We never finish our jam without playing this great masterpiece of PH.
RIP Gary. Though your song WSOP will never ever fade, we are for sure gonna miss you.

How lovely to hear you perform this - do you know the full four verse version .drive.google.com/file/d/1UZiULpExpwUGjEG6ceFAReAqVeDQfkRa/view
Thank GOD, Eric is still playing ...
Love to Gary from Eric great friends musicians show respect to one another ❤❤
So glad to see him still performing....I know he has had some struggles with neuropathy that can surely interfere with playing the guitar etc. Love this song , it's one of my absolute favorites !!
I've never been sure why but when I hear this song I become more emotional than any other song I can recall I'm not sure I comprehend all the lyrics yet there is a vein that it touches.
I've loved this song since it first came out. Great tribute!
I'm so happy to see he can play again.
Thank you for sharing❤
I would have never imagined this could be done as good and as beautifully as Procol Harum.
And, Chris Stainton is still there. A lot of years with these guys’ music.
Chris is really great
Same haircut too.
so is Paul Carrack (the other vocalist) I believe.
Wow. Thanks for pointing him out. Would have never knew. He was with Joe Cocker Mad Dogs.
@@alanrockman2469 So is Doyle Bramhal II on the left handed Strat :)
Intramontabile; e Gary Brooker sarà contento, dovunque sia , che la sua A WHITER SHADE OF PALE viene ricordata sempre in tante occasioni ! Un brano che ha più di 50 anni eppure non sente il peso degli anni ; anzi, le nuove versioni le danno un'emozione in più!! Grazie Gary, hai lasciato un ricordo che sarà la colonna sonora del futuro musicale !!
The Master at work. Beautiful and brilliant.
It may be very difficult to sing and solo this song at the same time. We can notice that Clapton is a few bits behind when he sings. And sometimes he just blanks it out and goes directly to end and finishes smoothly. Great effort, hats off.
very tastefully done
Back in his drinking days Eric and Gary Brooker would spend afternoons at the pub down the road from Eric's house and drink Courvoisier and brandy by the quart. Their friendship grew even better when they both took the pledge. Gary started playing as a member of the core group with Eric at the alcohol free New Year's Eve jam at Woking beginning in 1991. Over the years many of the 60's rock era artists, including Ringo Starr and his brother-in-law Joe Walsh, would "sit in" or make a "guest appearance." Gary's spotlight number of course was "Whiter Shade of Pale."
The all-star bands took their names from phrases found in the "blue book "Alcoholics' Anonymous" by Bill W. For example, the first band in 1991 was named "Complete Abandon." This year, probably to re-emphasize the pledge that Gary and Eric and others made to one another, they christened the band with the name "Promises."
Rest in peace, Gary. Your song and voice will remain forever.
Grande Eric Clapton, tocando grandes recordações...
Me encantaaaa. GRANDE ERIC CLAPTON.... TE AMO
Beautiful song ❤
Awesome.
Great and well deserved honour in memory of the late Procol Harum s Gary Brooker, one of rock s best keyboardist and mate. Gary Brooker played with so many great fellow musicians. The list is a long one.
Great version!
Slowhand is still my fave live performer.
The Master at work
The song of my life from 1967...fantastic version..thanks
Thank you to the wonderful person who shot a video this beautiful rendition. It's unimaginable how lucky we are to have the technology that is accessible to everybody and we can pretty much shoot every music show of our favorite artists. They didn't have that privilege in the 60s or the 70s or the 80s or the 90s or the early 2000s. We could've had so much more recorded shows of guys like Eric, available.
What a lovely surprise in my TH-cam feed today. A longtime fan of prog generally. Nice to see such a respectful version from Eric. And Doyle post Waters band. And Carrack post Mechanics. Nice!
Sooo Brilliant 🎸🎸🔥🔥🇬🇧🇺🇸
Que maravilha ver o Clapton homenageando Gary Brooker. Antológico. Parabéns ao canal.
Muy buena música!
🎵 🎶 🎵
E performing in a Clapton style. Massa!
I like the band backing Eric. They sound great
And so fender jazz bass.
Gave me chills guys...memories.
Nice tribute to the late great Gary Brooker. No one does that vocal like Gary, but good job anyway by Eric. One of my all time favourite songs. I had the honour of playing it in Wellington New Zealand at a good friends wedding with the amazing organist in their church. Went off very well. Maybe our heavenly father was helping me along a bit. Great version of Gary doing it live with the Danis National Orchestra on You Tube. Terrific!!!!
Classic song. Thank you for sharing,
this is freaking good thanks for posting EC
Great seeing Doyle Bramhall II up there! Amazing guitarist, along with Eric.
Timeless classic music 🎵 loved 🥰 and loved represented by a true legend- for a pure legend- like fine wine 🍷 it gets better with maturity 🎉
Grande Eric Bendiciones
This couldn’t be any better. ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
This fantastic music always makes me cry.... And yup it did again. Love this session.

Clapton vocal is a good match for this awesome tune that was originally sung by Gary Brooker who is unmatched, but Eric cover aint bad...tanks for sharing
Eric is the perfect fit for this version, as his performance was good enough to revive the magic this song encases.
