Eric Clapton - White Room (Live Aid 1985) 

That would have been great.

the holy trinity of the 60's would be backk

Yeah, it sounds like half the song is missing without them. Plus this was when Clapton was going really mellow with his tone. It just lacks the punch his work with Cream and his 70s work had.

Don't miss the redhead !

That didn't happen until they played together for the 1st time after 23 years when inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in '93. But -- I was fortunate to see them together at Royal Albert Hall in 2005 on their tour that year. Magical. First time I'd seen them live since 1968! Saw Clapton numerous times, but it took 37 years to see 2 Cream concerts.

Rodzilla king gizzard and the lizard wizard

@Rodzilla I concur!

According to Geldof when they recorded 'Feed the World' there was no plan to have live drums, Phil turned up with a kit and nailed the drum track in one take.

Phil Collins is great BUT Ginger Baker the absolute best playing CREAM songs.

@@nachojara9346 You're making stuff up

Awful with these drummers. Some weak cowbell sound from one and one of the worst drummers I've ever seen in Phil "CONCORD" Collins. Remember when The Cars were on earlier and they kept showing that wankers plane???? so aggravating. RU-vid it.

+Johnny Macalvee I remember at the time being really turned off by the whole what I call the "Phil show" during Live Aid. But to his credit he did apologize for it in his autobiography.

yeah now that you say that , even i do feel the same

Very true. Two drummers and not even close to Baker. He was a beast!

Man! UR So true.

Don't ever mention the Led Zeppelin incident 🤫

What Led Zeppelin incident? Jimmy Page fighting a microphone? Robert Plant voice crack? Never heard of it.

I respect Phil's talent. He is an amazing drummer....just a remem....no offense whatever to Phil.....Ginger Baker well 'Cream' 3 guys just outright hard rock icons...as good as it gets.....at the time, you know these three guys in London among the musicians were known as the 'cream of the crop' hence, they called themselves - "Cream" -

He fucked up the zeppelin reunion

@@andrecostes6115 Allez les gars.Arrêtez.Les batteurs ce sont Tony Allen et Stewart Copeland.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dgPAyY36U0g.html

sTRAIT jACKET This was in the middle of that tour. I think he debuted it here, then started playing it after.

There's some earlier shows on the tour in late June, early July.

Paul Shaffer taught him how to play it again on Letterman.

wow!

Com fhil Colins na batera🤟🇧🇷

And a guitar that has humbuckers

Clapton is just great by himself

Yes... But Clapton as coffee, despite the absence of cream, is still awesome

So true.

lol

Eric absolutely killed it. Loved the backup vocals, too.

Il était énervé, ce jour-là...

@Jonathan Detroyat Pour quoi?

@@comanchio1976 il voulait faire une autre chanson ("cocaïne", je crois), mais l'organisation a refusé...

See 2005 version with Ginger Backer and Jack Bruce,

I was there also! It was the best concert in world history! And nothing could ever top it!

@@richparker9968 - Funny. Many said the same thing about the original Woodstock just 16 years earlier.

Me too, I got there the night before and tried to sleep in the car, didn't really work, gates opened up early and I grabbed my then girlfriends arm and I told her, do not stop, do not look back, you hang onto me and we'll make it close to that stage so we ended up still a good 40 feet away just a little right of center and didn't move for 14 hours, I didn't, she did to go to the bathroom, not even one drink, no water or soda, a brutal long day, under rehearsed and rushed but it was glorious...I could never ever do that again.

@@hardboiledharry4061 sounds very similar. Did you ever find yourself in a video?

@@bradforddillman7671 Maybe...did you watch a lot of porn in the 80's?

who are the backup singers?

Eric has the best girls

@@gigishapiro no clue

Shaun Murphy and Marcy Levy

@@elizabethshingola2787 true

should've had phil collins singing

Eric Clapton on guitar, Ginger Baker on drums 💯

@@jaimedrum 1:07 1:14, 2:18-2:27 and at east half a dozen more times, it is clearly Phil Collins

Stewart Copland on drums,it's better.

@@TheRealRedRooster baker is in another league entirely

Supertramp 93 are you serious? Not even close to being the greatest cream song. There are so many better songs on wheels of fire.

For me White Room, Sunshine of your Love, Crossroads and Spoonful are the best Cream songs.

FTStratLP wheels of fire is definitely there best record

I like Sweet Wine

Umm Tales of Brave Ulysses

It’s not the money dude, it’s the performance

Money well earned for some great work🎸🔥👍

thanks for pointing that out

Why?

@@apb. something something 420 something something

Great performance here. I can imagine Jimi playing with Eric here and singing it too!!!

Do tell. Somebody else has already asked.

Yes.....and let me say, it wasn't easy for Clapton when both drummers...or one of them crashed a bit too hard where Eric's solo comes in at that traditional tempo to White Room....because Eric's solo eases in quickly, correctly...you can see the look on his face.....with such a large and loud cymbal crash - right there...look for it.......Eric pulled it off anyway and really sound is often the case at live venues......I just think Clapton isn't thrilled to death with playing with two trapset drummers anymore. I feel that Clapton's blues carries a great "appreciation," if you will...to this particular song "White Room"...Our icons are living forever.

Lol your drunk

It’s unbelievably clean and I’m not sure if he used a manual wah or one that’s an affect on an amp but the wah was perfect wasn’t over bearing and could understand each note

@@AdamReale Clapton is a magician

Not wrong there bro!

you can see him using the pedal @@AdamReale

@@connornicholson3944Eric certainly knows how to use it to perfection

Reading the autobiography right now. I hope I get to read this.

@@prathameshbhambure Just finished it. Clapton indeed writes about Live Aid in depth. My recollection may be a bit faulty, but as I recall it he doesn't cover stage fright but does cover the rest of the above.

It’s a great book, just read it. He was an obsessive compulsive man. How he survived I don’t know. I loved it but I found the last few chapters boring, because he’d found happiness in the family life! The 60s 70s and 80s is where the meat is.

Correct! It was during his relapse period, having marriage troubles with Patti and physically and emotionally exhausted once again. He did great though! (as if there was a doubt)

I heard Collins didn't know the songs. Also, he may have been trying to outdo the other drummer during the Zep set. Per Jimmy Page.

Steve b That’s Marcy Levy, aka Marcella Detroit (also of Shakespeare’s Sister) and Yvonne Elliman (who played Mary Magdalen in Jesus Christ Superstar on both stage and screen, and had a disco hit “If I Can’t Have You”) Both are very talented in their own right - Eric was incredibly lucky to have them both with him for the Behind the Sun album & tour.

@@gerstelb Its not Yvonne Elliman,its Shaun Murphy with Marcy

Jamie Oldaker is also playing drums.

You think bad.

so do I. 👍

His name is Tim Renwick

I hate that thing, this version of the White Room is kinda empty and less magnificent than a one done with Cream

I believe its the drummer that sets the tempo.

Nick V and he decided it you nonce

i dont see the problem they are still both amazing live performances even tho not as close to the studio version as it couldve been

@@giovannigobbi4832 fun fact, Phil Collins played Layla at a faster tempo because he had to take a wee and well the band had to adjust.

..and Donald Duck Dunn on bass

@@andreabini5128 the best time

Brooks Reed No one said that. We all know that Ginger is an absolute beast.

Brooks Reed debatable

andrea bini Phil Collins, Eric Clapton, and Donald Duck Dunn playing white room. My life is complete

Phil Collins was a punk.

Yep and added nothing to either concert. He was (might still be) an egomaniac, he agreed to do the 2 shows only if the cameras followed him. I used to be a Genesis and Phil Collins fan. Wasn't after I found that out.

@@justinrippon2218 I think you're drunk

@@justinrippon2218 *Phil Collins:* "I did it, because I was asked to do it. As simple as that."

Io lo vidi in diretta TV dall' Italia alle 2 del mattino presto great

Clapton was on fire in this version.

That is very true!

@Normalne Konto Well, Clapton is still alive and Hendrix died a long time ago

A monumental catalogue in comparison.Harumph.

Russell Schwartz Stevie Ray Vaughan

Gilmour was better than both

@Igor Kucharczyk to me Clapton is the number one. Hendrix is awesome, but to me he just dont fill the shoes as Clapton does.

More than back ups!

Love your music! Found this comment and gave it a shot! Get far please!

Hello Joann How are you doing Thanks for your love, support and for been an amazing fan!❤️ It's nice meeting you here

Vern Hoke white room isnt on Disraeli gears

Yeah White Room is on Wheels of Fire (the studio version)

White room is on wheels of fire not Disraeli gears

so do Ì! A great song!

Probably would be better than that Led Zeppelin performance

@@pigo_io1382 they probaly werent speasking at that time

Not a popular sentiment, but my thoughts exactly

Agreed. One of the all time greatest rock songs and Eric didn't seem to into it. The solo was pretty good but his singing was not.

It was live aid. The wholle crew were on it.

@@mathsfornineyearolds Well, he never sang it before and it was a last minute addition to the set.

You totally missed the point of that act

Deep Dish that’s what he played for genesis and possibly one of the best of his generation with the exception on John bonham

Collins sounded funny with Zep.
