Venezuela 1993. This CD was my Christmas present from my girlfriend. As a Latino 16yo guy who loves Latin music was a weird present at the moment, but she gave me a kiss and said "trust me", nothing more I'll be forever grateful. I still have the CD
hes a family friend of some of my grandparents and their brothers, sisters, and cousins. Went to a church here in tuscaloosa with them when they were younger. said hes a absolutely great guy!
Avevo 25 anni all' epoca e ricordo perfettamente le emozioni che ho provato nell' ascoltare questo pezzo per la prima volta , a distanza di 32 anni provo le stesse emozioni ❤
The resolve at the end of the solo is the best of all time. Been listening to it over and over since I was 9. Im 41 now and adore this set. My mums friend went to school with Eric, and managed to get him to sign a copy of his autobiography for my 30th birthday. My mum passed 6 years ago, and the book Is my most treasured possession
@@lesheath6216 That was an unplanned extra encore, Clapton said he asked Chuck what they should play, and Chuck suggested playing Old Love. What a combo.
@@joeallbright3245 He's a legend. I've seen Clapton many time since this gig. His pianists are always great but Chuck was by far the best he's ever had
The solo is an epitome of taste and finesse. Bluesy with Classical subtleties. Slowhand playing with enough speed to elevate the song. Clapton is also an underrated rhythm player. Lastly, Chuck Leavel is a gem
I bought this on cassette tape when it was brand new at Walmart in 92 with my allowance when I was 11 years old and it started my love affair with the blues. (42 now) I've had some of these songs and guitar licks in my head for over 30 years. What a great album
If I was only allowed to hear one section of music before I died it would undoubtably be Chuck Leavell's piano solo from this recording. One of the most incredible things composed in our time without question.
This was their third encore the people just did not want them to stop and Eric had run out of everything he could think of so he looked back at Chuck and said Chuck what do we play. And Chuck just worked up a beautiful piano solo on this so he told Eric old love and this is what happened
One of my all time favorites as the subject to me is an old girlfriend lost to this life to pancreatic cancer. Clapton and Leavell are stellar. A true masterpiece. God bless my Annette.
Mi primer CD que me regaló mi viejo. No era fanático de Eric Clapton ni lo soy, pero como músico si hay un tema que marcó mi forma de apreciar la música es éste. No encuentro palabras para describir lo que Chuck Leavell está haciendo. No es tocar un instrumento, lo que toca es el alma a a través de uno. Inicia en el segundo 0:16" en respuesta a la guitarra con 5 notas que resumen lo que vendrá. Sin ostentar ni presumir convierte un tema en una canción en la que la guitarra y el piano entablarán una relación de pasión y armonía. Sí, el solo de piano es increíble, pero lo más increíble es que como en toda relación de un viejo amor lleno de respeto y comprensión cada uno tendrá su momento de hablar pero sólo llegarán al ocaso habiendo aprendido a escuchar.
A planetwide treasure. The man is so good, he cuts right through ones soul and can make an old many cry in about a half minute. One 7 min song more effective than months of talk therapy. What would the music world be without Clapton? I shudder to think.
I remember listening to this for the first time when I was around 7 years old. Here I am at 35 listening to it again. Best acoustic guitar and piano solo ever, in my opinion
This is the best song and guitar I ever heard. This song was playing in the background of my childhood video recordings when i was a baby. Ive listened to this version over thousands of times throughout my life and it still gives me goosebumps, and I still get so excited about these solo’s.
Hoy es el cumpleaños de eric que lo pase super bien y para disfrutar de su musica un poquito esta cancion que me encanta viejo amor. Gracias por tu buena musica
Ok I was maybe 14 when I finally was able to watch this unplugged video and I spent the summer watching this on repeat to learn to play it. I was upset cause I didn't have a capo to be able to sing it in my range, so I literally broke my voice to sing at his key hahahahahahahaha Good memories! Fast forward about 15 years and I got golden circle tickets to watch him play in Melbourne. That was soo cool but wishing it was an intimate show now I am watching the Unplugged recording! Top 10 artists for me
I can feel your body When I'm lying in my bed Too much confusion Going 'round through my head Makes me so angry To know that the flame still burns Why can't I get over? When will I ever learn? Old love Leave me alone Old love Go on home I can see your face But I know that it's not real Just an illusion Caused by how I used to feel Makes me so angry To know now that the flame will always burn Never get over Know now that I'll never learn Old love Leave me alone Old love Go on home Take me home, boys Old love Leave me alone Old love Go on home
My Layla is called Lulu and Old Love never really withers away in her case, after 40 years wandering in the wilderness since 10.06.2020 the flame burns higher than ever...
