ERIC CLAPTON | Live at Montreux Jazz Festival (Switzerland, 1986) 

The Clapton/Phil Colins era was insane!!

Nathan East. Lot of Smiles. Lot of Tones

This deserves a Remaster...for the Blues Rock's History !...

I keep finding these gems. May never watch TV again.

i love this tone and this era. guitar sounds so clean and futuristic while retaining those clapton blues.

I dont think it cant get any more 80's than this... I fucking love it!

Clapton and Collins. Nothing more cool 80's than that.

Eric Clapton is one of the top guitar players in the world his style will never be duplicated with his great voice and awesome guitar, thank goodness we still have all his great music to enjoy and dont forget what a great talent that he is !!!

Yes, EC is one of the greatest electric guitar players ever - but he’s a superb singer too. What a voice.

This, imo, is clapton's best band since Cream! Love the musicianship, camaraderie and synergy!

They all playing ang singing with from their hearts and souls.

Today's mood. Eric always makes it look effortless & I thoroughly enjoy Phil playing the drums.

Drums: Phill Collins Keyboards: Greg Phillinganes Bass: Nathan East AMAZING BAND

Phil Collins is so damn good! Love his drum sound.

love, love , LOVE THIS SHOW!!!! What a energy!!!

Wonderful, Magical, Immortal Music!!! I bow before Your Genius! Eric Clapton You are Beautiful Forever!!!🙏🙏🙏👌✊✌️🌟❣️🌹💋

Saw Clapton live last night in nashville , Life will never be the same and I mean that genuinely

This is probably the best Clapton show ever recorded. Thank you so much for sharing! 🎸

the happiest eric clapton i've seen...one of the best band he assembled

This is when Phil was at the TOP of his physical conditioning and creativity.

Amazing Band. Came here because of good old Phil, and now I come to rediscover Clapton, whom I haven t really listened to since I was probably 12. A great pleasure to listen to and watch!

The fact that he could play and sing this well when he was hammered is amazing in itself.

°•°• 🦋 ERIC °•°•° MY GUITAR HERO OF THE DAY 🦋 °•°•°•

Another decade, new arrangements, new tones, new band, same godly performance as always, it was neverending with this guy!!

I can't pinpoint every little thing that I like about this gig since this comment would become too long. But I'll never fail to keep thanking Eric and all his amazing musician friends for everything they have done for us. My gratitude for all those artists and the list includes all the names that haven't played with Eric but are my heroes, is colossal! Thank you eternally!

Fantastico concert!!!!

The 1980s was such an epic time for music and here is no exception. There was such style and an openess to creativity then that you just don't see much of anymore.

Greg and Nathan's synchronized choreographic dance during Clapton's solo is something exceptional! what a great band, what a great concert!

Great gig.

To be able to sing like that! One of the best blues voices ever.

happiest bass player ever

Simply the greatest musical artist over the past 100 years - regardless of genre.

The voice of Clapton with the passion for the music is like he grew up on the Mississippi Delta... Born in raised in a country thousands of miles from where the blues started it's amazing how much in love he fell for the blues and doesn't top notch job at playing it

1:08:29 Collins is supposed to go all in but he clearly forgot and look how they had a beautiful laugh over it. That's camaraderie, that's love & that's musicianship. That's how one's supposed to enjoy.

Always have thought ‘80’s EC was his finest playing. Just other-worldly!!

May the unemployed find work, may the sick be healed, and may whoever is reading this be blessed in the name of JESUS

2 of the best musicians/singers of their time! Gotta love Eric Clapton and Phil Collins!❤

One of the best session bands ever put together!! Phil was on fire too!!

AMAZING! Wish I could have been there!

Phil had some really nice drumming moments here. Nice to see him just drumming, which I think is all he really wanted beyond all of other success he had. What a drag that his nerve issues have robbed of what he loved most.

WOW!!! I can listen to Clapton & Phill Collins all day long!!! When Eric Clapton began his solo career. The best thing he did was to have Phill Collins produce his album!!

The best band after Cream Amazing concert 🎵🎵🎶🎶🔊 Eric Clapton , Phil Collins (drums), Nathan East (bass) and Greg Phillinganes (keyboards). 🎵🎵🎶🎶🎸✨✨✨✨✨🔊

Phil Collins ed Eric Clapton ... stellare

That vocal on “White Room” is just exceptional. So much flavor!

Respect Clapton.

i just keep coming back to this performance. one of my favorites by him. his prime imo

Wow! This is terrific!

that tone... Unbelievable.. GOD!!!!

No doubt in my mind he's the greatest to ever touch six strings its just a fact its one of the laws of physics i just thought everyone should know

Sjajna svirka......Clapton u punom elementu......posebno mi se svidela Let it rain, nisam je dugo cuo, pa je bila pravo osvjezenje❤

I Love this excelsior in Montreux! Nice to see Eric Clapton grace and embrace it.

Proud to be a witness of this,even 37 years later in You Tube. I stll feel a chosen one for that.

I get the feeling that at times they were hoping Phil would chill a bit, but ...... he just drove even harder! The rest of the band looked knackered. When the drummer has the most energy syndrome! Brilliant.

Phil put his all into this...brilliant vocals as usual and the drumming out of this world. I found some of Eric Clapton's best through Phil. Now I love Eric's "love" break up songs. They had fun this night.

Eric is a signature guitarist. Self made guitar licks, he is very recognizable, clearly unique, the way he choose his notes in those solos, man, thats only him alone. Like a label, on his own. In a category of originality like J.J. Cale, Slash, Santana, many more, we all know. I love you all

JUST SO DAMN GOOD!!!!!!!!!!! Wish I had some fancy words, as Mr. Clapton & the whole band deserves them here but...............WOW! Another concert I wish I had been attending!!!!!!!!!! Never has or will be anyone like Mr. Clapton way back, now, and ever.....he is AMAZING!!!!!!! Thank you for still performing for us!!!!!

What a show classic What a time to grow up

I love Clapton. He is one gifted man. He can play great if he is high or not. All these bands out there do not compare to Clapton. He IS God. Thank you for this video. I enjoyed it so much. I hear he will be touring in 2022, one year later than planned due to the pandemic.

I don't know how the hell anybody could give a thumbs down on this concert but these guys were great! Been a Clapton fan since he started pretty much and there ain't no better!

One of the best concerts I ever had seen

1986! That was a looong time ago, I hadn't gotten into Eric Clapton, but I remember seeing Genesis 12 years before this, in the Deutschland Halle and asking my friend Pete Fox who the amazing voice behind Peter Gabriel was? and it was Phil Collins, an amazing drummer and outstanding singer! Eric is one of the best and so is Phil Collins and we are all a lot older! :-)

Wonderful ❤🎉🎶🙏

I enjoyed this era of Eric's music. Although a little commercial, it was typical for the time. I did a lot of dancing to these tunes in the privacy of our den. Fun, fun, fun. Eric looks great and his playing is superb!

Eric the love of my life😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Nothing is better for insomnia than Eric Clapton. J'adore cette musique! Listen to that voice.

what a band!

Srv And Clapton are the best of blues guitarists

I have get this dvd from my teacher when I was learning music for the first time, one of the best, favorite one from most of fans.

Jesus Christ the solo in I shot the sheriff is out of this world.

Wow! Phill collins doing the drums! Two all time greats going at it!

Such a great talent. MY favorite musician/ singer.

Saw Eric about 6 Times in Switzerland.The Intro with Crossroads he did a few Times.Just great!

Loved the long blues tune! Always enjoy when Clapton lets the other musicians have solos. ok, I've finally gotta speak, though. I LIKED PHIL COLLINS VOCALS, even though nobody else here does!!! They kept me company on long trips & at camp sites in the 80s-90s. Fond memories of a really nice male voice and very romantic songs. Didn't know he was a drummer until recently, and such a GOOD drummer!

Un petit "CLAPTON" cela ne peut pas faire de Mal!!!.....👌♥️🎸🇫🇷

Dang! Layla and Sunshine of your love are the best versions ever!!!

Awesome

Não me canso de escutar ano 86 Eric Clapton , Phill Collins tocando bateria não tem pra ninguém. Tio-pé Florianópolis 2020.

Great Show / Great Collins

Energy music, now the times had passed and all the ideals are gone, now they had to play for the 11S, like Neil Young, I see this concert like a sign of it could have been and never was the world. This music is like sacred for me, I was listening to this man for all my life I have all his official discography and some bootlegs. Specially I love the Blues Disc and the 12th night bootlegs. What's going to be our future with no artists like this one?. I'm afraid of the future, I'm only 34 but I'm just not able to live as I live without these lyrics, this music, sometimes I feel it's the only thing make me feel alive. In my head his guitars continue the riffs when I'm not listening I'm llistening in my head sometimes. If Clapton is God I want him to change the world.

Nathan East :D He always has a lot of fun playing :)

Holy Mother - what a song!!! The last vocal section - anyone else just holding their breathe for Phil's drum phil that you know will lead into Eric's solo with THOSE bent notes??

he is a Blues man from the heart wow

My pleasure. Glad you enjoyed it. Cheers!

Easily my favorite live show of his. But I'm biased. I was 16 in 1986 and 'August' remains my favorite album of his and Phil remains one of my biggest drumming influences. I thought Phil exceeded expectations playing music not necessarily in his natural wheelhouse. Phil later went on to say that this was the best band he had EVER worked with. High praise from someone who worked with pretty much everyone.

claptons best lineup

Sono in quattro, ma sembra un'orchestra. Spettacolo unico e irripetibile. Era un'epoca in cui pitevamo sognare ancora. Poi Montreaux era e' e sara' sempre una favola nel mio cuore

Wow 😎

Realmente amo a este hombre... y a su banda también ❤

so good to see Phil Collins at the drums :)

This is a great gig. Thanks for posting.

Great Concert! Loved every minute of it. Same ol blues..whew

Bellissimo concerto!

Me encanta ❤ me encanta ❤ me encanta Eric Clapton 🎸💋

Everything is perfect with this performance, watched this dvd so many times. A lot of best versions in one show especially Holy Mother, White room Badge and Layla..wish Wanna was on the album :(

Awesome awesome awesome concert. So much win. So very much win.

best drummer for Eric, best solos! top concert!!!
