I am an architect, a blues enthusiast and an amateur guitar player. I also play the drums and a little bit of piano. I have a deep interest in music, mostly "old school" music from the '70s, the '60s, the '50s and the '80s. The '70s are closest to my heart, and musical acts such as Eric Clapton, Pink Floyd or Dire Straits have profoundly shaped my personality. My "hero gallery" would also comprise Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix or Ry Cooder, among others. In terms of styles, my musical tastes revolve around blues, blues-rock, classic rock, folk-rock, jazz, jazz-fusion, progressive rock, instrumental rock, funk, county and rock'n'roll. As an architect, I am mostly interested in heritage, architectural styles, and aesthetics. Apart from music and architecture, I am also interested in stylistic aspects concerning clothing and landscape. I can say that I revolve around "style".
reist mich jetzt nicht so vom Hocker gestern hab ich mich mit... I feel free... sunshine of your love... und etc. auseinander gesetzt... das ist nicht nur einzigartig gespielt gewesen... auch die Ideen für diese Songs zu haben... ist einzigartig eine Revolution der Rock und Pop Geschichte aber wenn man mal.... auch als Musiker.... genau ins Detail reinschaut.... dann stellt man fest dass da auch bei den beiden anderen in diesem Trio nur absolute Superkönner am Werk waren... wie Baker da die Zwischenräume mit den Drumschlägen ausfüllt das bekommen andere nicht so hin.... nur er selbst... wurde zwar oft nachgeahmt und versucht.... aber gerade diese Cover Nummern zeigen erst wie gut eigentlich das Orginal ist... auch der Gesang von Bruce.... da gibt es nicht so viele... allein in der Szene... die so ne Stimme haben..... und diese dann so gefühlvoll einzusetzen... aber... Leute Wer kommt schon auf solche Nummer... solche Songs.... in dieser Zeit... es soll kein Lobgesang sein... ich bin nur erstaunt gewesen und das nach mehr als 50 Jahren noch mehr entdeckt zu haben wie gut das alles war.... ich denke es war ihnen bewusst, dass sie da eine aussergewöhnliche Stellung eingenommen haben in der Musikwelt.... aber sie haben halt ihr Ding gemacht weil sie s konnten... mich hat es wieder erstaunt als ich mich damit auseinander gesetzt habe... selbst wo dies eigentlich immer Grundlage für mein Verständnis dieser Musik war es ist altvertraut und trotzdem ist man dann nach so langer Zeit immer wieder erstaunt dass dies so passiert ist
Saw him at Newcastle City Hall on this tour and he did the same arrangement with the 3/4 jazz waltz jam and it was absolutely mindblowing, like a blast from the 60's past when musicians would jam on stage and go to town on some old standard. Recording wise Clapton was playing it safe in the late 70's, short pop songs with little in the way of of guitar highlights but seeing him play Double Trouble like this was an unexpected treat, the kind of thing I never thought I would get to see. Mind you, he literally had to get his finger(s) out that night, Muddy Waters (backed by the James Cotton band) was the support(!), part of the Rolling Hotel tour. Clapton opened the set with Layla, I think to get it out of the way so he could get on with some serious blues playing because he had everything to prove at that point after some dire drunken performances at Hammersmith Odeon and the Crystal Palace in '76/'77. As a die hard Cream fan I was losing faith in his abilities and attitude until that night in '78 where he proved his mettle. Eric Clapton and Muddy Waters: ticket price? £2.50.
The wild guitar doesn't sound like Clapton, because his playing is more structured even at high speed. But this doesn't even sound like all the Buddy Guy stuff I'm used too. Anyway it has to be Guy on lead. I hear EC hitting a few notes outside the chords, but I guess that's him on Rhythm. How many players can back down EC from taking the lead? I guess it's just that Buddy is so aggressive on this one. I think EC is one of the greatest artists period in this world, but for this song I don't think anyone ever topped Barrett Strong. Sometimes a simpler approach gets it.
That's definitely Guy with the "scrambling" style solos. He's a beast. The later '80s to early '90s was a great era for Buddy. There's an audience recording of Clapton and Guy at Ronnie Scott's in 1987 that shows Buddy going off scrambling like a mad man
Wow this is great great...thanks for posting. I had totally forgot that this song was that old 1978 WOW. From the Slow hand Album. Love it thanks again
You're welcome! Glad you liked it so much! Some clarification, though: this recording is a live version from 1978, while the studio version of the song is featured on the album called "No Reason to Cry", which was released in 1976. The "Slowhand" album was released in 1977 and it did not feature "Double Trouble" (neither a studio nor a live version), but Eric got to play the song quite frequently for a few years, approx. 1976-1979. I have heard numerous live renditions of the song from this period. He later lowered the frequency of including this song on his concert playlists. He played it with Steve Winwood, more recently. He also played it with its "creator", Otis Rush, in 1986, at Montreux. And there are many other versions out there. 🙂
Never heard his voice sound so good.... Sometimes he's overproduced on recordings....and the times I have seen him live -- were in monster stadiums. This feels like a club setting....so great, Thanks❤️
The recording is from a concert hall called "The Apollo" in Glasgow - a venue with a capacity of roughly 3000-3500. So, yes! It doesn't feel like on a stadium.
The album you can see in the photo is a birthday present I received from a good friend in 2017. The album bears the signature of a man called Chris Welch, being packed with information and photos from Eric's long career. It's not a music album, but a printed one.
Oh my, the old fabulous Glasgow Apollo so many memories of that old building. Then there is this brilliant recording of EC. I am listening to this at nearly 1am....perfect late night music. Thank you for posting this.
É o Clapton que está tocando assim lindamente ?Percebo sua voz ,mas não percebo q seja ele á tocar . Acho q não ! DESCULPE EU NÃO ENXERGO BEM NEM LEIO EM INGLÊS
I don't know, but I believe it's quite possible. The song "Double Trouble" is quite old, though. It has been written and recorded in 1958, by Otis Rush. Clapton liked the song, adapted it, and included it in his repertoire in the 1970s. I find it very likely that Stevie Ray Vaughan also liked the song and...adopted it as the name of his band. But I'm not sure about that. He may have had another source of inspiration.
man!!when hes on it just rides the line flows like a great jazz plyer you know whats coming in your head and you flux into it no drugs required maybe a beer
