A guitar master at his best
Check out early Eric Clapton, when he was lead guitarist for Cream, a huge band in the 60’s. Top tracks were: White Room; Sunshine Of Your Love & Crossroads.
Totally this. Strange Brew too.
Absolutely. Not a fan of his solo stuff personally, Cream on the other hand, legendary!
Cream - I Feel Free is my go to.
If she wants something to move to might I suggest Lay Down Sally, and Living On Tulsa Time.
John mayall and the bluesbreakers! If want go deep down eric claptons rabbit hole 😊
Never forget that Clapton began as, and still is, one of best and most influential lead guitar players of rock n roll, deeply rooted in the blues. He was in the Yardbirds, Derek and the Dominoes and Cream (check some of those performances). He ranked second in the Rolling Stone 100 greatest guitar players of all time in 2023. He's never been the best vocalist, but it is park of his kit. I think that often younger people than myself (74, grew up in that era) focus on the vocalist more and more rather than the bands. The bands are what made rock n roll. So with Clapton, you really must understand his guitar playing to understand what he is capable of. The guitar - that's what makes him sexy.
How dare u not mention the beano album! Cmon now
🤣🤣🤣 @@MitchClement-il6iq because that gave you the chance to!
We forget about John Mayall's Bluesbreakers? :P
@@jduncanandroidWe don’t at all. That was a major album, but subsequent generations do.
@@jduncanandroid the beano album? Somebody mentioned it,
This is one the of the many songs written about Patty Boyd Harrison's then-wife of George Harrison of the Beatles and how being in love with her was tormenting his soul. The original record included Duane Allman of the Allman Brothers one of the greatest slide guitarist ever.
George occasionally referred to Clapton as his ex husband in law. lol. Both married and eventually divorced her.
Layla isn't Layla without Skydog.
@@PatrickMersinger I heard he called him his Guitarist-in-Law.
Layla and Something, two of the greatest love songs by two of the greatest musicians about the same woman.
The background vocalist were saying Layla not saying yay yay.
I first heard this song in 1972 when he was with Derek And The Dominos and it is a rocker.
I have heard every version of Layla since 1972 and they're all great in their own respect and time. I like them all.
I finally saw Clapton in concert in 1998 and it is in my top 5 concerts that I have been to between 1974 and 2018.
THANK YOU!!! That “yay yay” was driving me crazy!
Ok, seriously jealous now! That must have been one hell of a concert. I always missed him. I'd see that tickets were on sale but they'd be sold out when I called. Or it was after the concert completely.
@@karensilvera6694 Yeah I had a lot of those experiences when I was younger going to concerts in the 70's and 80's. The other thing was they would play in Dallas, Houston or Kansas City and I just couldn't make the trip. I got to see a lot of bands in the late 90's early 2000's that I didn't see in the 70's and 80's while they were still together, and in some cases like Tom Petty before he passed, and before ticket prices got stupid expensive.
Clapton is in my top 10 list. Tom Petty is #1, I got lucky and won front row seats for that one in 2002.
@@kallsop2 got to love our era of concerts! My 1st was Bruce on the Born to Run tour. Tickets at the door for $7.50! He erupted later that year. What a life.
That is Phil Collins on the drums. Live Aid was the high point of Rock music. I remember it like it was yesterday
Lol
Phil Collins? w/Clapton? What a joke!
More of a Steve Gadd fan, but Clapton’s bands always had great players, in 1967 and 2024
Thats true !!
@@newriverratsam stupid comment. That is in fact Phil Collins.
Derek and the Dominoes “Bell Bottom Blues” is a masterpiece. Very moving.
Britt: You are listening to one of the very best guitarists in the world, bar none! Magnificent!
Happy Birthday to Mr. Eric Clapton. He'll be 79 in two days🎉
Wonderful Tonight LIVE with the ever so beautiful haunting vocals by Katie Kissoon
"Layla" is a song written by Eric Clapton and Jim Gordon, originally recorded with their band "Derek and the Dominos", as the thirteenth track from their only studio album, Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs (1970). Its contrasting movements were composed separately by Clapton and Gordon. The piano part has also been controversially credited to Rita Coolidge, Gordon's girlfriend at the time. Clapton originally wrote "Layla" as a ballad, with lyrics describing his unrequited love for Boyd, but the song became a "rocker" when, according to Clapton, Allman composed the song's signature riff.
Its from Live Aid 85,in Philadelphia,lots of bands and artists,thats why it lots of crew on stage.
So when Clapton recorded it with Derek and the Dominoes, that was over a decade earlier, a much younger Clapton. You could check out the 'supergroup' Cream in which he starred earlier.
There is a slowed down acoustic version of Layla that may have a little more PDC quality
I was looking for this comment as I knew it had to be already said.
I just looked it up again. The SONG is PDC quality, but Clapton still looks like a teacher--even more so.
I like the slower version.
The slower acoustic version is like reminiscing about a lost love that you have come to terms with, as opposed to the quicker frantic pace of the intense breakup.
The slower tempo Layla is an “unplugged,” non electric instrument, acoustic driven, tear eyed ballad.
Britt this is a later performance but the song came out in the 1970’s when he was part of Derrick and the Dominos. Back in the 60’s he was in Cream and The Yardbirds. His main genre blues rock psychedelic blues,rock and roll he is counted as one of the tops electric guitarists .
You of course reacted to Eric Clapton and Paul McCartney performance of George Harrison’s Something. That was for his first wife Patti Boyd. Eric was obsessed with her and would later marry her. Layla was for her and about her.
The background singers aren't saying "yeah yeah". They are echoing the word "Layla"
Thank you! I was sitting here screaming at the screen at Britt!!
@@candacemay7187Me too!
Ditto! I was screaming, too!
He is the only three-time inductee to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: once as a solo artist, and separately as a member of the Yardbirds and of Cream. In his solo career, he has sold more than 280 million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling musicians of all time.[12] In 1998, Clapton, a recovering alcoholic and drug addict, founded the Crossroads Centre on Antigua, a medical facility for those recovering from substance abuse.[13] Wikipedia.
That is a very uneducated comment!
@@epesposito73 ????
Eric Clapton should be a 4 time inductee as a member of "Derek and the Dominoes".
The backup singers are singing Layla. That is the name of the song
the song Layla has 2 movements, not a separate song. "Layla's second movement is called the "Piano Exit"). This is really Clapton's masterpiece.
coda
The album version is still the definitive version.
You need to check out the studio version of this song. It has both Clapton and Duane Allman playing guitar on it. It's an amazing recording. You won't be disappointed. Kurt from Maine
In the mid 60's he was in The Yardbirds, then he joined John Mayall's Bluesbreakers for an influential album, then he formed the Cream, then Blind Faith, then a solo career starting with Derek and the Dominos in 1970, which is where this song about George Harrison's wife came from.
I think you missed “Delaney and Bonnie”. That band was in there somewhere. ✌🏼😎🇺🇸
@@randyhochstein8455 Plus there were a few very short lived super groups in between like Eric Clapton's Powerhouse. These groups often only recorded from 1 to 5 songs. Also he "sat in" on several Beatle's songs and Ringo Starr's All Stars. And don't forget playing with all the greats and near greats at the Cross Roads guitar festivals. He basically played with almost everybody.
@@randyhochstein8455 I wasn't even going to get as detailed as I did, but just wanted to suggest that over the last 50 yrs., his career had more important considerations than whether or not he made someone's grade for hotness.
The song is about his love for his best friends wife, Patty Harrison George Harrison wife.
"Let it Rain" by Eric Clapton is a classic.
Brilliant song. It’s high on my list of favorites from Eric.
Listen to the Derek and the Dominoes Live version. Clapton shredding that Strat!
Eric Clapton " Bad Love"
Killer song! One of my favorites from EC.
His best performance / song IMO is Old Love Live Acoustic - well worth a listen.
This is the song that really put him on the top as a solo artist The piano is epic.,as is his guitar as always
One of the all-time great rock songs. Clapton also did “Layla” with acoustic guitar…so different and magnificent…
You should also watch some other clips from Live Aid As well. This show was held in 1985. 2 shows at the same time in Philadelphia, PA, and London, England. You should also check out the performance of Queen at Live Aid. It's awesome!!! Also, Phil Collins is one of the drummers for Eric. He played at both shows that day. First, he played at the show in London, then he flew on a Concorde to Philly and played there as well.
his mtv unplugged gig of this is the best.
Did you see Phil Colins on Drums in this performance.. Him and Clapton were both at the top of their game here! You have to check out The "Cream" with Eric Clapton.. whether their original tracks in mid to late 1960s or their Reunion Concerts in 2005! PLAYING ALL their Greatest Hits! Phenomenal!! (In fact I personally think their Reunion Concerts at Royal Albert Hall London in 2005, were the ULTIMATE! 3x Musical Geniuses and some Legendary performances!)👌😎🏴🇬🇧
Eric sees himself as a blues guitarist and his career goes back to the mid 60's. This was 1985 Live Aid Eric. Phil Collins is on drums.
Eric's blues tribute album 'From The Cradle' (1994) is Outstanding!!
Not that you’ve listened to this version, check out his Unplugged version. It’s a totally different vibe, more jazzy and bluesy… but also a masterpiece.
P.S. the background “yeah yeah” was actually “Layla”
P.S.S. The drummer was Phil Collins who you should also react to soon.
Yeah, yeah?
Layla !!
Clapton had many different looks throughout his career. He started at 18 in 63 with the Yardbirds, then joined John Mayall’s Blues-breakers in 65, then Cream in 66, and then one album with Blindfaith in 69, followed by one album with Delaney, Bonnie & Friends also in 69, then Derick & the Dominoes in 70. His solo career followed until the present.
I’ve given you this info because I know you would enjoy his early fashion sense. Type in Clapton & each band to look at the images. You may think one of the younger more fashionable Claptons might be a contender for the PDC.
This one and Something (George Harrison) The Beatles were for the same woman
The background is singing "Layla" And I do believe that was Phil Collins on the drums.
Eric Clapton is one of the best blues and soul singers. And he is rated #2 in a list of the greatest guitarists of all time, just under Jimi Hendrix.
Saw him live many times, just one of the best guitar players to walk the earth and a good voice too.but he can play it all and compose too. Also quite intelligent. Play the song wonderfull tonight the ladies love it and a great slow dance song. You may change your mind about pdc
I’ll check it out!
Got me on my knees! Great song! 🎶 ❤
It’s about his love for George Harrison‘s ex-wife Patty Boyd
haah you nailed it, we can all sing with a bit of inspiration!
Live Aid was a massive thing!! I watched nearly all the hours of that, and I only regret that I couldn't be there in person. The skills and masters that entered that stage (those stages really) was unheard of.
You truly need to see Eric in Cream - that was him at his absolute peak. Also this song is from Derek and the Dominoes featuring Eric. You will see a much more aggressive Eric with more punch and sting if you react to some Cream.
Phil Collins on the drums, he did a set at Wembley stadium then on concord to philly to play this set with Eric
The entire record (Layla and Other Assorted Love songs, in my opinion captures unrequited love like no other. Patti married both George and Eric and was considered the biggest muse. Her sister married Mick Fleetwood. When Peter Green started Fleetwood Mac, he named it after Mick and Mac (McVie the bass player). On the original recordings it is the interplay with Duane Allman just before he passed that made it a blues rock masterpiece. Have You Ever Loved a Woman, Key to the Highway, and a Thorn Tree on the Garden
Love the reaction Eric got an electric shock off the mic at the beginning and carried on
Your accustomed to post-heroine Clapton, after he got clean his music got more poppy or introspective with lots of folk influence but his early years he was a huge pioneer of blues based rock, playing with aggression and energy that he just didn't show later. This is a song from the end of that early period. Was it because of heroin? I don't know, just the timing corresponds. "Clapton is God" was the mid-60s version of a meme, check out his playing from that period (Bluesbreakers Featuring Eric Clapton, Cream) to hear why.
I love this song, brings back memories. Best music era.
The MAN....one of the best, EVER....saw him back in the 70's with Freddie King-find a video of something they did, any thing they did.......Older Clapton is amzing..
Another song written about Pattie Boyd. This is the original instrumentation. He later recorded it as more of a slow, acoustic ballad that has the same words, but sounds like a completely different song. That is the song that will put him in the PDC. You need to watch the MTV Unplugged version. There is a reason that people used to graffiti "Clapton is God" on walls. He is one of the OG guitar gods. He is the only person to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame three separate times. He is the lead guitarist on The Beatles, "While My Guitar Gently Weeps." Duane Allman originally played the slide guitar on "Layla" when he and Eric were in Derrick and the Dominos. During this performance, that is Phil Collins on one of the drum kits.
As a 52 year old man Layla was the first track which brought Eric Clapton and I bought it on single. Though it was released as Derek and the Dominoes I knew who it was but it opened me up to a whole raft of music his solo, then Cream and finally back to Derek and the Dominoes
Out of the top 50 greatest guitar players of all time. Eric Clapton is on that list.
Your comments are fair. Let me just say that he was not know for flash, it was his bluesy rock guitar playing and song writing. He was highly influential in the 60's and is definitely one of the standard bearers of Rock music. You've reacted to Prince doing "While my guitar gently weeps." Prince was doing Eric Clapton's guitar solo (in a crazy show-off way). Anyways I love your reactions!
This guy is incredible, keep checking him out. This was "the first side" of eric Clapton
Slowhand! I got to see him in concert a few years ago. Was a great show.
The background singers are saying “Layla” NOT “yeah, yeah”. DUH!!
Back up singers are singing the title of the song "LAYLA" 😍🐐🎸🔥 SAW ERIC 7 TIMES , TWICE AT RED ROCKS , SICK ASS KICK ASS SHOWS!!!!
He's delivering constantly about decades so you may find your pdc vocals maybe the Core one of my all Time Favorit
From the Album Slowhand
Btw. Like to hang out on your Channel from time to time ❤️🔥☮️
As others have said, the studio version of this produced by Tom Dowd, with Duane Allman playing his amazing slide is rock history. That Derek and The Dominos album is one of the greatest ever.
He mellowed with age and reinvented this song as an 'unplugged, PDC' version, which he teased at the end of this performance.You need to watch the later version.
many years ago, someone, trying to be ironic, nicknamed Claption: "Slowhand" This is one of the greatest rock songs, he started out like this, a rock guitarist.
Slowhand has nothing to do with the speed he plays guitar.back in the 60s he played with "the yardbirds" and he used thin strings,for easier bending.they broke pretty much often and eric replaced them on stage.while he was doing this,the audience started to "slowly handclap".the owner of the club they played in,thought the name would nail it and called him Slowhand Clapton :)
If you want to feel the essential Clapton, react to "Bad Love". He has Phil Collins on drums, Nathan East on bass, and Greg Phillingames on keys, and it's pure gold.
love this song. taught myself how to play it on the piano, and I don't even play the piano.
The lyric--and the song title-- is Layla. To get a good measure of Clapton's work, listen to White Room.
Great one!! 😊
You got to check out Raye, live at the Royal Albert Hall - Oscar Winning Tears, she will blow you away
The Eric Clapton live version of "Wonderful Tonight" featuring vocalist Katie Kissonn is jawdropping and beautifully performed by the whole band
I love how serious this is for you. Clapton is a legend. Mad Love or Before You Acuse Me are both bangers
Wonderful Tonight is PDC worthy
He was widely recognized as the GOAT of guitarists, he's remained in the running with names like Hendrix, Van Halen, Paige, Vaughn and a few others !!
There are those who say this is the best rock and roll song of all time. Period.
Layla was first recorded by Derek and The Dominoes (including Eric Clapton, Duane Allman, Bobby Whitlock and others). That version of Layla sounded very much like this one. Some time later, Clapton recorded an "unplugged" version of Layla - which sounds very different.
The backup singers are singing "Layla". This is an alternate arrangement to the original recording. Clapton had fallen in love with Patti Boyd, George Harrison's wife. She eventually divorced Harrison and married (and later divorced) Clapton. Which, strangely, didn't break up the friendship between Clapton and Harrison. There is also the Arabic legend of Layla and her lovers search for her. You should react to the unplugged version Clapton did several years later on acoustic guitar. It's a great blues! Kind of like when Neil Sedaka re-released Breaking Up Is Hard to Do, which originally was a doo-wop song, but the later version was like a smokey blues torch song. You would also like Clapton performing Hoochie Coochie Man at the inaugural Crossroads concert. Fire!
Holy Cow! That's Phil Collins playing drums for Eric Clapton at this event!
The greatest rock guitarist ever who happens to sing, too. Like Louis Armstrong was a trumpeter who also sang. The ending is so damn cool! Play "White Room" which was much earlier still.
Eric Clapton used to put on a concert invite different guitarist a different artist and he only did it every three years but it was a big Advance and it was called crossroads and it was just every time they did it that you’d be fascinated very interested in it I’m sure
There is also a acoustic (unplugged) version of this song which is really good. Clapton mellow? In his early years with Yard birds and Derrick and the dominos (where this song came out). Big long catalogue of music.
He also does an acoustic version of Layla that you might like. If you want to move your body, check out "Cocaine". That song was so much fun to dance to.
Remains my favorite Clapton song!
Clapton is definitely in the PDC!
Phil Collin’s on drums…Live Aid truly was something to remember..
I first saw Eric in the 60s when he was in The Yardbirds. He didn't do any singing at all back then. He was quoted as saying that he never wanted to be the singer. He just wanted to be a blues guitarist. I believe the first time he sang lead vocals was a couple of years later on the Bluesbreakers album with John Mayall who persuaded him to sing Ramblin' On My Mind.
Masterpiece by EC, with a little help from Duane Allman who came up with the opening riff and provided some energy in the studio when the song was orignially recorded in 1970. The piano-based coda was originally played by drummer Jim Gordan, and was based, at the least, on a Rita Coolidge idea. Renowned producer Tom Dowd spliced it on to the end of Layla. Lot of events led to this two-part song.
One word Cream...next words Keep on rockin young lady, you`ve almost arrived at 461 Ocean Blvd.
Go back in the late 60's and my favorite period in the early to mid 70Ss. Every decade brings a different sound and a different look for Eric. I've seen Eric Clapton possibly 6 times total and one time with Jeff Beck and Jimmy Paige together on one stage in the mid 80s. Try "Change the World" by Eric Clapton that's a sexy one for the TBC, react to the studio version!
For PDC, same era, same country, same genre, i'm thinking Robert Plant of Led zeppelin, performing Black Dog, live, madison sqjare garden, 1973. You get all the guitar, but you get a bare chest and tight jeans as well
Eric doing his version with Derek and the Dominoes that he did in the early seventies. The original is one of the great rock songs of all time, featuring Duane Allman from the Allman Brothers on slide guitar.
I've always been an Eric Clapton fan. This a song from the album titled Layla and other assorted love songs. His best music is the blues, and another favorite of mine is an early song with John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers titled Have you Heard. People who are fans just like the sound of his music. I saw a post that directed you to Cream. I agree 100% Try Tales of Brave Ulysses.
Duane Allman played the lead on the recorded version. The triplet riff in the intro is all Duane. If you're an Allman Brothers fan you will recognize the style immediately. Also, Duane's guitar was named "Layla". I only say this because this song was most definitely a collaborative effort.
Eric Clapton, Cream, The Yardbirds, Blind Faith, John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers, Derek and the Dominos. He played with the Beatles, Bob Dylan, BB King, Buddy Guy, Freddy King, Albert King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and on and on and on! Used to be you would walk into a public men's room and see “Clapton is God” on the wall. Undeniably one of the VERY BEST guitarists known to mankind.
Clapton is God graffiti was not uncommon in London in the mid to late 60's. A legend.
Hey, Phil Collins on the drums....pretty cool having 2 legends in one concert. PC was da man on drums once upon a time.
Clapton's guitar in The Beatles' While My Guitar Gently Weeps is absolutely the best piece of his work that I know...
Songs "Bell Bottom Blues" or "Wonderful Tonight" might put him your PDC if the right performance were picked (Ironically both are inspired by same woman), I particularly like the live version of "Wonderful Tonight" from the 70's. "Bell Bottom Blues" is utterly painful as his vocal cry out how much he's pining for her... as does the guitar solo cries especially with it's harmonic pinches.
Anyway this is a man was/is among the top guitarist to come out of the 1960's - "Clapton Is god" was painted around London - That's how good a a guitarist he was in hard rock and blues music in John Mayall's Bluesbreakers (on the guitar the term "Woman Tone" which influence EVH and others), the Yardbirds and The Cream, Bonnie and Delaney, Blind Faith. He may as well be considered Beatles royalty on top of that as he and George Harrison were tight. As a guitar player... he's up there among the likes of Hendix, Page and Beck from the 60's and 70's. I don't know if he's PDC but he's a major influence in music and changed the face of all of it.
Eric Clapton with Robert Cray on Night Music doing Old Love... thats all Im saying
Sung like a man who had stolen his best friends wife. Oh wait, that was exactly what happened 😱 The lyrics to this are a great starcrossed love story. "Sexy art teacher" yeah, that's pretty much on point for his look here! Don't put him in out of pity - he's done alright for himself ;-)
Phil Collns on drums! Love it!
The best!
Britt, I'm certainly not any expert here but his life changed dramatically on March 20, 1991, when his son fell from a high rise apartment in New York City. His music changed too. I suspect the tone of his music changed with all the rest that came down upon Eric. I can't imagine the pain he went through at that time.
He was in Patty Boyd Harrison's PDC club. Lol She and George (a Beatle) divorced and she later married Eric.
Eric was in love with her for awhile even though he was friends with Harrison.
This song is partly about his love for her.
I agree with others. Check out Cream and his guitar playing. Phew. He's brilliant on that instrument.
Eric Clapton unplugged Layla is the best version of this song. It's best heard in an acoustic manner, within a small venue. Check it out. Much more intimate.
🎩🎩🎩 .. well Britt .. you have set yourself to see one of the greatest reimagining of a totally amazing song. .. after playing this long , amazing song for years , .. he played it another way at his acoustic show. Check out the live version of "Layla" .. acoustic - and you will see the a great song by a great musician can be represented in more than 1 way to perfection. Very cool .. that you are enjoying Mr. Eric Clapton. 🎩🎩🎩
