Eric Clapton - Over the Rainbow (with lyrics) 

We all should be so very thankful that God spared this man's life and did not allow rejection,drugs and sorrow take him from us early on. What a great musician and ambassador of the blues and a great humanitarian!

I really am so happy he introduces his band first!!! They are all so,talented!!

I’m dedicating this to my dear brother who passed away 3 weeks ago. I played this in the hospital after his severe stroke 5 years ago when he couldn’t talk. But he sang this song out loud and beautifully. The nurse came in and said how incredible it was. We’d walk around the floor and he’d sing this loud and clear. I also played it while holding his hand when he was leaving this world, 3 weeks ago. Thank you, Mr Clapton for the most beautiful version of this song. I hope my brother heard it.

He played with the Beatles , Stones, BB King, Cream and an also great solo career. How blessed we are to have slow hand in our lives. Thank you Mr Clapton for making memories.

Clapton, a cultural icon, a life of tragedy, a man of integrity, a leader in the resistance to tyranny and a personal lifelong hero.

After watching many many live performances of Clapton, one thing you can notice - the guys who play with him seem extremely happy. I wish that to everyone. Can't see that anywhere else

I think, the best part of this video was, when at the beginning Eric Clapton, recognized all the other musicians in the band. What a Class Act... Young musicians should watch, and learn from one of the Best!

Perhaps the greatest version of this song ever.. and i'm 82 !

In Fort Worth Texas they just built a new arena 14000 seats called Dickies And I live 2 blocks away and get to walk down the 13th of September and watch Eric Clapton play how cool is that! There's only one...E.C.

Eric Clapton, what’s not to like about this version. A little bluesy, jazzy and MASTER CLASS! ❤️🎵🎵😍

Nothing this man can't play or sing, such a talent and we're so blessed he's still on this Earth with us. ❤

Eric Clapton is so gracious with his guests and fellow musicians It warms my heart

I dedicated this beautiful song to my mom & dad ,rest in peace 😍😍😍.Thanks Mr. Clapton you're indeed a great musician, a legend.

I really enjoyed the sincerity, and gratitude Eric and Billy showed for each other, during the intro's this may have been the last concert that Billy really enjoyed himself, after his come back from very tragic and troubled past events, Eric knew all to well about the demons of addiction, and welcomed Billy back with open arms, God bless'em both Ase'

This concert was one month before september the 11th. Take us back to then please, the world hasn't been the same since. Life was simpler and happier.

Not just because I love Clapton, but think about it folks, how many artists could pull off a Judy Garland classic, adapt it to this blues style, with the legendary guitar and vocals and make it a hit.

For all the torment that man has gone through, he remains a class act, an extremely talented musician, and a great humanitarian. I pray he has found peace because of what he suffered and eventually gave the world.

I played this at my moms funeral. She always loved Eric Clapton and this version of Over the Rainbow. Love and miss her everyday ❤

I’ve have a new found respect for Clapton. His later years are definitely his best.

The one and only Eric Clapton.

All Hail the Artists and Musicians - who are keeping this world ALIVE.

Love Eric Clapton. Big artists ends with a "God bless You".

One of the finest arrangements I've ever heard and I'm 72 years old and must have heard a hundred of them.

So much talent on stage but no ego..

Eric, you killed it again. One of the top versions of this song along with Gene Vincent's, somewhere over there... up in Heaven. And what an extraordinary band you got together. You never cease to amaze with the freshness of every line you play, and you've never sung better then you do today. Aretha was right you're not white, you have the colour of music, the one that Ray Charles can perceive. With your guitar you paint colors that even the blind can see . God bless you.

This guy Eric Clapton is pretty good. He should get a band together and record an album or something. He could really go places.

Classic played perfectly. Thank you for this blessing. It has given me a few moments of PURE joy.

I could listen to Eric Clapton all day long. He's made some great songs over the years. A gentleman!! Bravo!!🎸🎸🎹🎸

Take it from a guitarist of 59 years ... This was not a song halfway done by a very good blues/rock musician ... This was beautifully and tastefully crafted by a real musician. A stageful of real musicians ... And while we're at it, Jesus is the only way over that rainbow.

I also lost a son and so admire your courage and heart. Thank you.

Not for nothing but have you ever noticed that Eric always has the smoothest musicians

Just can't express how much I love this man and this song...

Eric Clapton, always giving the spotlight to his friends and fellow musicians. Humble.

As I get older I understand better how genius covers a wide swath of mankind and time.

Thanks God for Eric Clapton. What a blessing and a gift from God.

I'm 74 and Clapton will always be my favorite guitarist. Layla is my favorite song. 😍

Saw this show in Vegas 20 years ago. All acoustic Billy Preston, Dr. John. Was in awe. Went back the next night. Felt like I owed it to myself

My only thoughts listening to this is of his little boy that he lost so many years ago in that tragic accident....Lovely and yet so haunting. The best rendition I've ever heard in my lifetime!

Yes. I was taught that the space between the notes is just as important. Less is more. He just has that wonderful space that invites you in.

How can I be 56 And just stumble upon this Oct 9 2022 I can't believe I have never heard this before

Over the rainbow has been sung a lot of times by a lot of people. But every now and then Eric Clapton happens. And then something exceptional becomes a classic again.

Clapton, Steve Gadd, Nathan East, Billy Preston (R.I.P.), A. Fairweather- Low and David Sancious on stage, pure greatness! Really a lovely version of a classic.. Eric's playing's just wonderful, as well as his singing. His voice became better with age. Love, how relaxed he is here. Eric forever!!

As I'm getting older now, I am still in love with the great musicians from my early years. Clapton, John Prine, Dylan, Cohen, Bonnie Raitt, Willie Nelson, I could go on and on. What a wonderful time to have been young. You all need to listen to my dear niece's cover of All of Me. Find Emma White! With love from Aunt Jennifer, here's to the new generation.

That was terrific. I have never heard a blues rendition of Over The Rainbow. Eric Clapton is one of the best living blues guitarists.

We just don't know how lucky we are to enjoy the talents of truly great musicians such as Eric Clapton. We were both blessed and spoiled to experience others such as Les Paul, Chet Atkins, Jerry Reed, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and many others as well over the past 60 odd years. We should be truly thankful for what they gave us in music. We grew up and lived in amazing times. Think about that for a moment.

Eric can play anything and everything. The man is an awesome guitar 🎸 player! Turning 69 in 3 days...what better than a little Clapton, Led Zeppelin, Doors

The finest wish upon a star ever. Lord thank you for EC.

I am old and tired and I am sorry to keep commenting the same thing over and over again but this rendition is my new favorite song. Blessings~

OK. From a musician's stand point there's a lot you can say about Clapton. High's and Low's of course as we all have had. But one thing he gets that's lacking in some of today's music. He knows how much less is more. When you play the right notes, you don't have to play nearly as many of them and people will listen to you much longer than they will someone constantly trying to impress you with those wonderful (they think) calisthenics they have worked out on the guitar. Some of you will understand perfectly what I just said, others will not. But then, that's the way of the world these days. Everyone has their own reality. And many think theirs is the only reality. And for them, I suppose it is. And I'm sure there are quite a few who don't really like Clapton, but then, a LOT of us do!

This is really good, but if someone had told me in 1967 that some day Eric Clapton would be playing the Judy Garland classic I'd have told them they were nuts.

This song has comforted so many hearts.❤ Thank you 🎸 You will find me there 🌈 💛

I love this song, the way He sings it! I love Eric Clapton’s music!❤️

Love the way Eric introduces the band. He looks so happy and like a genuinely humble man!

When Eric unites with Gibson, magic happens. It takes me back to his John Mayall and Cream days.

I love that there are NO cellphones in the audience!!! They were totally focused on the music.

I'm happy to see Eric Clapton play any day. It's good that he beat the devils and it's good he is happy and healthy.

How lovely to see introductions of the bandmates before the song. It really gives so much more meaning to the performance.

he's not just Eric Clapton, he is EPIC Clapton

Eric has enough talent and confidence that he doesn't feel the need to mess with the melody or lyrics to put his own stamp on it like a lot of other artists do when covering this song. Thank you Eric!

WHAT A LOVELY VERSION OF THIS BEAUTIFUL SONG, PLAYED AND SANG BY THIS LEGEND.

This must be one of the most recorded songs ever...I can honestly say Eric, this is one of the loveliest of all of them. Just beautiful!! Love from New Zealand. xx 9.2020.

Is Clapton one of my favorites? Absolutely, but not because of that and the fact that he just took a classic from a classic movie and ran with it. I truly believe that he could do an album of children's nursery rhymes and it would blow people out of the water! Lol!!!

Ohh man when nathan says erics name and he goes in that incredible solo... so beautiful.

Wow, what a lineup all legends in their own write.

Who the hell could give this a thumbs down? I watch this after a hard days work, and it works...

Love Eric Clapton for appreciating & giving recognition to his band members! Every band should recognize their members! Also Eric Clapton is a fantastic guitarist, singer, songwriter with a wonderful band! This a classic song that will never grow old!!!💕💕💕

One of my favorite masterpieces! What a pleasure and peace to listen to this song!

I heard this played Live in Concert. Different City. Different Time. One of the most cherished memories of my Life. Priceless!

The Gibson guitar is so healing for the mind and soul. Pure tone and feeling. Eric is great also.

Eric is a hero on all levels. Especially now All his years he was quiet politically. Now he has a personal and valid reason to speak up. At 76 he's fierce and fearless and I love him

How humble this guy is

I'm always overwhelmed by this man's incredible talent.

What a wonderful world with these men, With these music..

Wonderful rendition of this iconic song. He did a great job. Heartfelt. Takes me back to the magic of childhood and hope. Many thanks.

There is just something about this song that is always relevant. I just heard a jazz pianist play it at a funeral last weekend just after the service ended. I think I'll always remember the moment.

Such a beautiful song. Reminds me of a certain restaurant and the beautiful times dancing to this song with someone I use to love.

It doesn't matter who writes something, its abouts who can touch your heart with it. E.C. is 1 of the best blues singer of all time.

May I Thank You ALL? The other day I happened to reach the corner store at the very same time an Elderly Gentleman was exiting ~ juggling the door, his purchases, and carefully pocketing the change to his beautifully mended suit pocket. It was easy to hold the door for Him. He looked at me with Soulful Eyes and said..." You! He said, Patting his left breast pocket, he continued in seasoned English, with Soul in His Eyes and Love in His Smile.... "You Touch~Ah My Heart~Ah !" Smiling at One Another, He nodded and made His way out the door as I went in.... OUR Hearts flew over the Rainbow, for in the Beauty of this Song ~ YOU HAVE ALL ~ AS ONE ~ TOUCHED ~ AH...MY...HEART ~ AH.. So Rare And So Very Fine.

I love how Nathan East looks over at Eric several times in amazement at Eric's playing. That is, perhaps, the biggest compliment especially coming from one of the best Bass players to ever live.

This great man can do anything and make it his own

Amazing ! Love , and Gratitude to a Great Musician , and Gentleman ! Loved The Excellent Band as well ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❣️

Eric Clapton, a differentiated, impressive talent.

That’s what a great set of musicians can do with a jazz standard : and led by the best!

Fantastic band and great, singing eric well done One of a the kind Nice song Great taste Respect!

Always among the most tasteful, and melodic "feel" players... also, his singing has Never been better than this! Of all of his work, Behind The Sun (album) most stands out to me as a triumph. Cheers, Eric... Cheers, Sir!

Wonderful rendition of a classic. So sad some people cannot appreciate anything subtle and beautiful at the same time.

Not only one of the best guitar players but an excellent singer also.

A Star-studded lineup to perform such a simple song in the best blues style ever. never get sick of listening to this.

I lost my Mom in March of this year due to Covad. Hearing this song really helped me realize just how much she meant to me, and how much she will be missed. Thank You Eric !!!

I never noticed before but Clapton has a beautiful voice!

I love how they are just strumming the most beautiful music during the band introductions.

This band could play this song in thousands of way and still entertaining. This one is I guess a more relaxed version of the song. Yet it is still very beautifully played and presented; rich, creative and intensely melodious.

Makes me so happy that he introduced his band mates. Humble. Music at its finest.. sounds amazing and fills the heart. Soak it up while you can.. nothing like this anymore and I'm 25. I'm thankful my parents taught me real music. I was born in the wrong era

Eric sings this so beautifully, & that piano solo (with the thing in his mouth), was so cool.

One of the most talented guitarists I’ve heard

This version brings back the most romantic day of my life. Miriam and I shared a drive-through lunch on a rainy day at the amphitheater where the Skagit River bends toward the sea on the outskirts of La Conner. We reminisced the drama of our open water dive in the depths of the San Juan’s that morning. As we made our way back through the Tulip fields, a double rainbow appeared directly in our path. The bright, lower arc completely encircled a ring across the hood of my tiny car-never seen before or since. We held hands briefly, and a couple miles up the road I pulled off at a seafood stand just to cool down. We returned home-she was engaged and I was married with children-and chatted how many motels we passed on our way home. Non existent are 12 yr old girls, swing bands, or Samoan crooner’s that match these 6 artists in embracing the romance of rainbows…..evoking these distant memories of a beautiful woman.

First time hearing. Very nice. Eric Clapton a living legend.

Phenomenal rendition. Best musicians on the planet and greatly arranged and played by slow hand. Fantastic. I replayed it 7 times.

I'm 63 & love Clapton, especially the older stuff but there is no contest, Judy Garlands original version pulls on the heart like no other.

The master knows from from where to gather all these jewels of music
