Misskittyvideo/Kitty Terry has remastered both audio and video from original tapes to gift you all this INCREDIBLE performance from the original Eric Clapton band (Erics best boogie band to date!) playing LIVE on the Old Grey Whistle Test in '77. Why I give credit to George Terry for playing background guitar is just me being nice as he deserved so much credit for being the rock behind Eric at the time. Eric was the genius.Sergio on percussion has passed away and along with Karl Radle and Dick Simms, but not before being memorialized in these videos, spending his time on earth wisely. "Tell The Truth" was originally written by Clapton and Whitlock around the George Harrison "All Things Must Pass" sessions (and a version was even recorded!), but wasn't released on a record, and was kept in the can. Eric re-recorded it as a much slower version on "Layla and Assorted Love Songs" with Duane Allman as Derek and the Dominoes.....however, Clapton's American band -, Carl Radle, Jaimie Oldaker, Dick Simms, Yvonne Elliman, Marcy Levy and guest starring Sergio Pastora to boogie this one RIGHT! .
Clapton held the groove, and Yvonne and Marcy are unparalleled on vocals! This is IT! The energy just emanates off the screen as you watch these great musicians groove with one of the worlds most influential guitarists. I can feel it now, Who"s been foolin' who? Open your eyes and take a look at your heart, Wow. I can see it yeah!
I watched out in the audience... this was one of my favorite songs the band was playing, not only in music but in message!!! I hope you will enjoy this as much as I have....
Cut from private unreleased footage I acquired while on tour with the band. No one has this stuff - it's just for you.
Groove on. Tell the truth. . Be true to your heart, it will never let you down like people will.
Love, Kitty
