Eric Clapton with The Allman Brothers Band "Why Has Love Got To Be So Sad" from the Crossroads Guitar Festival 2013 Connect with Eric: www.ericclapton.com / ericclapton www.whereseric.com
Wow! Thanks for the illumination! I had no idea that Clapton was so much older than Haynes! Guess you can only really tell from those close ups of him..... Clapton, that is.
Got that right I remember this in the 90s check it out opened up for the allman brothers I was like who is that little kid playing on guitar ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MLQTbmUYI4A.html
This is so awesome. I seriously cannot understand how the shit on the radio is considered better music than this. These are incredibly talented MUSICIANS that perfect their craft, not move notes on a computer. I need to see Eric and Derek on the same stage!!
To answer your question. The radio plays pop music Hip hop ect to the now generation. (. Kids ). That’s what sells . Not personal music like Blues , Classic Rock , Soul . Ect. That is personal music. We had our time. It’s gone . Just pull out the vinyl sit back and think about the great times you had. It’s their time now. .
A stage filled with so much genius, professionalism, mutual respect, and love! This humbles me and fills me with gratitude allowing me to spend another day clear minded and free. ODAAT Eric Clapton… you are an inspiration.
Or in reality you think somehow the life of complete strangers should somehow be your therapy for better living. Sounds rather messed up actually. Take Clapton a true scumbag who puts his own brain dead selfishness before an entire planet. Acts like a jerk and your uplifted??
That's interesting because when Clapton was with Cream he doubted his voice and was shy about it. One of the reasons that Jack Bruce sang so many of the Cream songs. EC obviously got over it, and began to stretch his singing with Delany and Bonny, where he could do that with some aninimity.
That glorious ending with Derek channeling Duane's spirit as only he can and Eric getting to spiritually jam with his long lost mate once more....brought a tear to my eye.
I was at this concert. All I can say is that it was one of the most special moments of my life to see all of these artists under one roof. Many of which I probably would have never seen if not for this event.
Watching Derek do some of the fills and solos that Duane probably did on the original studio version sends shivers down my spine, and on a beautifil "gold top" Les Paul no less. Fantastic line up of players.
I think its because Clapton's shown us how simplicity is cool. Many people these days are trying to appear talented with their playing styles, but he focuses on what matters: the sound. The beauty, the lyricism of his playing, its brilliant.
When Gregg passed, it left a big, empty place in my musical life and I am thankful that I can come here and watch his life’s creations. Miss you, buddy. You’re the reason I bought and play a B3.
@@jaypickett3552 He defined the southern rock sound so I get it. Dickey is the driving force behind me playing guitar as well. Got my first guitar in 1983 and pursued their music as well as Skynyrd.
i cant stop watching Eric clapton, i am a blues guitar player and i have composed many blues songs of my own, my rythm, my solo, my lyrics., and Eric clapton has alywas been my mentor, and still, and i am from Saudi Arabia, and the culture of the blues is really rare, thats why i am sad, but i have a plan, i am trying to introduce my community to the blues, so i will be the first one, and who knows, maybe some American companies could invest this music here. but if i make this come true. i will be proud of my self. please pray for me
I looked at your channel, all good, but nothing by you!!...if you are going to , want to , approach the damn blues, you need a voice....personal shit.....me? i went thru prison, a tough childhood fistfights every day at school, then i went to Yale university somehow!!..then i drank hard for 21 years, then prison again...top that sonny- boy!!....i heard more blues than anybody's business at cafe 9 in new haven connecticut....I work in the black ghetto every day at age 60, i can rap, I can breakdance, i can smoke crack with the best of them....I can still fack up the thugs...lets hear your blues.....the blues is a state of mind...I am not kidding, look me up.....! yeah!!
Careful what you wish for. He has had a pretty hard life. From a young boy until he stopped all drinking and drugging, but he came out on the other side. A better guitarist there will never be.
@@04washere Maybe better technically, but there is a reason Muddy Waters called E. C. his son. The bands this man has been in are unparrelled. He is without a doubt a classic.
Guitar heaven. Love Warren’s understated intro for Eric. Could listen to these guys all night. Whenever Eric shares the stage with other truly great guitarists it seems to lift his playing to even greater heights.
Eric, I want to thank you for being so generous with your time over the years in working with so many different bands, some great, some working on being great, and for teaching so many artists, primarily guitarists, how to improve their playing. I think you don’t get nearly enough credit for that. May your career continue for many more years to come. By the way, I enjoy your playing a lot. Can’t tell I’m a fan of yours, can you?
Eric u inspires me to pick up a guitar when I was 14 got tobe pretty good played in a lot of local band usually playing lead guitar alot of your songs and voçal you Are definitely in the top 10 best guitar players in the world sadly I lost 3 fingers in a motorcycle accident and3 weeks in coma years ago can't play but I sing it songs and Jeff Healey Clapton,HendrixBB King ,Santana,Bonomassa,,etc Keep 9n rocking Don
This version with all the guitars and Eric with Allmans is just too COOL!I love to see them playing off of each other. Not rehearsed , just doing what they love to do.
Wow I thought I'd never hear anything even close to the Dominoes version, but it's amazing how spot on they are here. The guitars are so sweet, the tempo changes seamless. Well executed by every musician beginning to end.
Not many would or could play with these guys but Clapton is one such man. For me his best is still with the incomparable, the mighty, the unforgettable CREAM.
A true guitar anthemn! So fitting that EC should join ABB to cover it...since it was originally him and Duane trading licks on the D&D recording. The circle comes back around.
Duane asked him to join the Brothers after he made the Derek and the Dominos album with him. "Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs"... Eric turned him down, but they were still dear friends.
I have been listening to eric clapton and following him since teenager, he is an outstanding and generous man , one thing you never hear is a scandal involving him only the heart ache he endured, not to mention alcoholism, that was not much in the public eye,he is a very private man !!! did I mention that I am 60 yrs old, so I have enjoyed most of his career. Long live the blues and long live Eric Clapton!!!!!
Oh he had his share of scandals and a lot of tragedies, survived what would have killed most lesser people and is a standard bearer for this music and a defender and respecter of other artists.
He said some controversial stuff in rolling stones magazine back in the 70s.. but he said was because was drunk all the time and was jus a drunken rant.
Layla and other assorted love songs, imo, is one of the greatest albums, ever.. This is my favorite song on it. Watching these guys just rock out is awesome!
Damn, do they sound awesome together or what? So few things stop me in my tracks so to speak. This is so one if those. Listening to this for about the 10th time in two weeks. So f**king amazing! RIP to all Allman bros band members who've past on to the next place. And thanks so much!
Every time I come back to this video I am so thankful to have been there that night. The entire evening was pure magic. This performance was the icing on the cake. EC and the ABB have been my two favorites for the longest time. To see this in person was truly a pleasure.
I would loved to see that . Saw SRV about a year before he left us . Wow When the news came out I was frozen from the mental pain in heart . Felt like I lost one of my best friends.
Man Derek plays so beautifully. Always gives me chills. I love Eric and the others too, but something about what Derek does that is so Derek and beautiful.
How much does this remind those of us of a certain age from the original? I swear sometimes Derek is channeling the very spirit of the Sky Dog. Even Eric recognizes and acknowledges it with that little smile he gives Derek at the end.
I couldn't agree more. Derek is SO steeped in Duane's style, and this amazing rendition takes me right back to Media, PA and listening to the original on vinyl in 1973. I was a huge ABB fan, and of course, Eric Clapton. What a perfect nod to Duane. Eric must have truly been transported back in time for just a minute. With time, the pain of addiction and heartache disappears, and only the memory of pleasant moments remain. One of the most pleasant I've had in a very long time. This week will be 49 years since his tragic and untimely death. RIP, Sky Dog.
@Korbon Dallas it's not cool to hate. I've been around long enough to remember waking up and hearing the news of Duane's death on the radio. And I believe Derek has, in some ways, surpassed Duane's slide guitar playing. Not to take anything away from the Sky Dog - after all, he did it first - but I don't need to see a guitar player making lots of grimacing faces to know he has a very special gift.
@Korbon Dallas maybe if your short-term memory wasn't failing due to excessive vaping of CBD and cannibis oil, you'd remember what you said "I hate it when people try to make out Derek to even be close to Duane's guitar ability". So you hate people who appreciate Derek's not only honoring and echoing Duane's skill, and efforts to take slide guitar to the next level? Wow - that's so sad for you. And as far as MY music - well, let's see how little talent YOU have. Show us YOUR videos! Show us the songs YOU wrote. And show us your debut EP. I don't need anyone's approval. But apparently, the only way you can feel better about yourself is to put down others. Sad for you.
@Korbon Dallas oh yeah I see you're kinda good at imitating something Berry Oakley came up with like 50 years ago. Congrats on doing what like 100,000 people have done before you. You should be SO proud of yourself. And thanks for encouraging others who choose, after years of imitating others like you do, decide to do something different - to explore creating instead of imitating. You're such a wonderful human being. Your mom must be so proud. Are you still living in her basement, with the black lights and the neon posters? Wow!
@Korbon Dallas I never said channeling or echoing was a bad thing. Derek honors Duane with those licks, but then plays licks Duane never did or even dreamed of. Oh, and please do tell us about all the greats you've shared the stage with. I spent years figuring out and playing ABB licks, but now I'm into creating new music and don't need approval from you or anyone else. To each his own. Nevertheless, Derek is one of the best slide players to ever live, no matter what you say.
That chord, whatever it is, that connects the verse and chorus puts me in another world - just incredible. And, as great as this performance is, Duane and Eric's recording on the Layla album is the standard.
Clapton does justice to any genre's music I can listen to him alone but he is easily recognized when he's on set with anyone I love Eric Clapton''s raw soul
Best concert I have ever seen in my life and one of the greatest days in my life was when I went to the 2010 crossroads show. I kept pinching my arm just to make sure it wasn’t a dream. Didn’t start off well, my wife missed a curb and fell very hard on the way to the CTA to go to the show. She luckily didn’t break anything. Then after about an hour at the show my wife started to struggle with the heat. I got a few water bottles poured them on her head to cool her down which worked. Now I look back and feel so lucky on various levels. It was one of those days in life when things were just meant to be for us. Back then we were both in our mid fifties but acted more like we were 25. My wife she is a tough one. I love her to pieces. As well all those incredibly talented musicians.❤🎉👍🇺🇸
Thank you Mr. Clapton! What your "Crossroads" Center and the Festivals are just one of your most defining contributions to all the fans and the musicians, especially the up & comers!!!
Dereks tone is just unbelievable made my heart break just so beautiful they are all gifts but Dereks a gift from god Eric’s look says it all he is so touched
My favourite Clapton records are the Unplugged one and the Live in Tokyo (his Lay Down Sally cover there maybe the better one I've ever heard of this song). But it's always a pleasure to see him, and if it is with members of the Allman Brothers, even more. Clapton, Buddy Guy, James Crouch and John Campbell are my prefered blues men and main guitars.❤️👍🤗🎸
Hard to beat the version on Derek and the Dominoes Live. That album is the purest Eric-on-Stratocaster-lead on record, the style guitar pros are in awe of because the slightest flaw jumps out at you. Neck and neck with Jeff Beck's live renditions (like "Day in the Life"). Oh well that's why there is a word "incomparable". There is another cut off a slow blues he did live with a band that had a horn section in it, not even sure of the title as it was obtained off Napster just before that went down. It's the slowest-paced blues I ever heard him do but the extended solo is as good as anything he ever did.
Eric's relationship with the "Allman Bros" has been strong thru the years and this is truly spectacular to see & hear. Still so impactful an old song from the 1970's Derek & the Dominos ...sustains time. Great upload Peace 2 ya who remember
I have a hard time finding other people's playlist. I would LOVE to see some of yours. Check out the 2 of mine you might like Rock, harder side and rock mellow tunes. AH, another Greg Allman favorite of mine just started playing. These Days.Let me know if you can get to my list , then tell me how to get to yours. Haven't we had this conversation before and never figured it out. No, that could have been sending the playlist to my friend.
Katrina Hamilton I wanted to tell you this ever since the Aerosmith comment. I was on the other side of your dads badge back then . We had a 3 letter word we use to use back in the day. don't get me wrong, I have much respect for what your dad does and stands for . But it blew me AWAY when I first read it. I didn't say anything though, until I got to know you better. You ought to get to know Jan hots. she's a really cool grandma too.
Becky Oliver well being raised by an Narcotics Det was tough. MY dad was highly strict. But it didn't stop me from tripping at parties, concerts during my high school years. Never liked the hard stuff like coke tho. Yea I've done it recreationally. But I never saw what the big deal was. Myself, I prefer the downers back in the day. Now I just smoke my weed. No worries about my dad. 1, he's retired 2, he's my stepfather. My biological father became a celebrity in Europe." Greece" He was a renowned ballet, jazz dancer. He too is retired and travels the world. Long story short. MY mother left him for my stepfather, an American MP stationed in Glifatha Greece when I was 3yrs old. She left me with my biological father and came back to take me to the US at age 7. Fucking worst day of my life. Guess where my mother is now? Back in Greece with her siblings. I've been to Greece countless times. My 2 kids and I spend every few summer's there. My dad had a beautiful home built for us in Corfu. A beautiful island. He's a great man. I love both of my dad's. Lol
music does not get any better than this so much talent on show true muscian's THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND PLUS ERIC CLAPTON I AM HEAVEN THANK YOU FOR POSTING.
That stage is loaded with some of the most talented musicians/people that ever graced the earth. This is an awesome post. Thank you Mr. Clapton. I almost feel like I'm watching a movie. kimie
Holy sh. t , You T blessed me tonight starting with Buddy Guy and Eric Clapton, back in 88, then Prince with Tom Petty and a rather large band of VIP’s and now this 🍸👍
Such a beautiful song, makes me cry. Thanks for such a song Clapton!! And that album “Layla and other Assorted Love Songs” is still one of my favorites ever. Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous.
E.C., the G.O.A.T of blues/rock, along with D. Trucks, doing an Allman style call and answer/harmonized solo! I've seen them both, but together, that must have been an incredible show!
If I was given the choice of being any guitarist in the world 🌍 of all time it would be guess who I wouldn't have to think twice it's Eric Clapton 🎸👍👑 I don't know what it is but I could help it Clapton always hits the spot I think God used him to bless my life and he did thank you Mr Clapton ✝️
I saw Derek in S.F.. A woman out front said that there was a rumor that Carlos was going to come on stage. Sure enough, near the end out from the curtain Carlos Santana walks out with his guitar 🎸 and the festivities commenced. Much like here, different voices on the best melodic instrument there is. Derek and Carlos, sweet. Electric guitar 🎸 ♥ right on boys! 🕉
Individually these musicians are so awesome but together they are unbelievable. So much talent. Probably why I send a lot of my down time on utube music
