Clapton has gotten better as he's progressed. I have been fortunate to enjoy his life's work since he first appeared in the 60s. Thank God for the blessings ❤
@Shel230 Clapton was a bit jealous of the original blues singers in his early years. It was because their voice had that Soul in it that he didn't have. He later apologized for some of the mean things he said about them.
Woke up today not hating myself and wanting to live instead of the hell that torments me constantly. It's getting better all the time! Love this song and the feelings it invokes. Got to feel good getting down with Eric Clapton!
Revisiting his epochal performance of this tune with John Mayall in 1966, he enters both B. B. King territory, and then Buddy Guy territory, and makes them both his own. Slowhand will be the Gold Standard for this kind of Playing/Singing for a long time to come.
I have to agree...I admit I am a fan but this was one of the best performances I've seen from Mr. Clapton. But it sure doesn't hurt that he has the "A Team" - Andy Fairweather Low, Steve Gadd, David Sancious, Nathan East and Greg Phillinganes - behind him!
@@joestephan1111 It's an original T Bone Walker song recorded in 1947. BBB recorded it in 1961. Allman Brothers recorded it in 1971. BB King and many others also recorded it. All are incredible. My favorite is Duane Allman and Dickey Betts with Greg Allman on vocals from Live at the Fillmore East.
Eric love your music the way you play your guitar like it’s coming straight from your heart the passion inside of you pouring out while playing your guitar is really amazing . Loved the music and the song you have so much talent you are the greatest artist singer and greatest guitarist ever you are an icon of all time your music and style will be in the history books for all students to see and learn from you how you become a legend and artist back in our times of being there to see how great you are. Eric you are the best in our time and you will always be remembered as the greatest guitarist songwriter singer of our generation.
Clapton is phenomenal, he gets better as he ages I love when he plays the Blues and sings I posted another video of him singing this when he was younger. Thank you T-Bone Walker
Having said that, anyone who loves Eric Clapton should check out his "Journeyman" bootlegs. The bootlegs of ANY artist's live performances are where it's at, people.
True dat. One person or group, ideally acoustic instruments, no engineering magic, no autotune, no fixing it in the mix. It's what separates the musicians from the mere "stars."
I just love that organ! There's just nothing like the way the notes harmonize when done on a really good blues organ. I don't know what kind of organ that is but many of the old Santana albums had one like that.
@@jas2819 I'd say that's a reasonable possibility, but which of the models in the Hammond line? The video is too low quality to tell. I'm a drummer so I don't really know enough about the organs and couldn't even give an 'educated guess'. All said, it's just a very cool sounding organ.
Eric Clapton, one of the guitar geniuses, once at the airport, when he was hungry for alcohol, had to prove to the law enforcement officers by playing the guitar that he was the famous Clapton, because he did not have any documents with him.
I was having a bit of a slump in my guitar playing where I felt nothing I played sounded good, just like music gibberish. But watching this with a guitar and picking up some of his simpler licks and ideas, it helped. Freaking Clapton eh, too good. The cream reunion of this is also fantastic
Beautiful organ That just glosses the band with finese! Coming From a drummer whos Played for years And decades, One of the finest drummers i Saw who had his own band Was this steve Gadd dude!
