  • NOTE: This is the first time Eric played
    Running on faith with his band on MTV.
    Eric fills a different solo and some other slide fills.
    After a while they played it again
    and that's the original recording. ;-)

      It was his golden age in a lot of ways. His electric stuff from the period is amazing too. From The Cradle is not far from this concert either. It's amazing what you can do when you get clean.

      I saw Eric Clapton and Ray Cooper in Dallas back in the 80s. It was the benefit concert for Ronny Lane and it was one the greatest concerts if my life. So many great British musicians one that tour; Joe Cocker, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Ray Cooper, etc. Minds were blown that night. Rock & Roll!

  • @liveatvictoria6853
    @liveatvictoria6853 Рік тому +10

    I love how Eric sings, not just his Guitar playing. He is in the correct key and just is really never rated as a singer I believe because he is so absolutely FANTASTIC playing the Guitar. Andy Fairweather-Low is no slouch on the Guitar neither. He can sing and play very well also. Give the old recording of the ARMS Concert for Ronnie Lane and MS back in 1983, at The Royal Albert Hall, then carrying on to a few cities in America, marking the first time Eric, Jimmy Page, and Jeff Beck all got up on stage and played together, Andy played with and on nearly Every Song on Part One and Part Two, singing Man Smart, Woman Smarter, an actual Harry Belafonte song. That concert was really good and looks like everyone who played had a Great Time doing it. I suppose this is why they continued onwards to the USA and played in like Dallas and New York plus a few other cities as well. I know that Andy Fairweather-Low was in Eric's band for a good long time, over 10 years I am 99.999% certain. Anyway, Jimmy Page was fighting his addictions during this period of time, so he didn't look very well on some nights, it truly shows just how dedicated he was. Would have been very easy to have just brushed the shows off and stayed home in England, I believer they all very much had a place in their hearts for Ronnie Lane.

      Not bad for an anglo Brit who has learned to perform in the blues tradition.
      I am thankful to him to give credit and bring to my awareness the Mississippi delta players who inspired him such as muddy Waters and the haunting late great Robert Johnson especially.
      Such a rich and soulful musical legacy is
      a great place to travel .
      I felt after reading his autobiography that
      It was easy to see the where, why ,and how
      he became such a good musician.
      It really can come down to talent ,temperament, timing ,and how you deal with holes in your bucket.
      I am glad that he has brought joy to so many fans. I am one, although sometimes reluctantly. Mixed.

    Running on faith
    One, two, three, four
    Lately I've been running on faith
    What else can a poor boy do?
    But my world will be right
    When love comes over me
    Lately I've been talking in my sleep
    Can't imagine what I'd have to say
    Except my world will be right
    When love comes back your way
    I've always been
    One to take each and every day
    Seems like by now
    I'd find a love who'd care, care just for me
    And we go running on faith
    All of our dreams will come true
    And our world will be right
    When love comes over me and you
    Ooh, I've always been
    One to take each and every day
    Seems like by now
    I'd find a love who cares just for me
    Then we'd go running on faith
    All of our dreams would come true
    And our world will be right
    When love comes over me and you
    Yes, it would
    When love comes over you
    Love comes over you
    Love comes over you (love comes over you)
    All of our dreams will come true (love comes over you)
    Love comes over you (love comes over you)
    All of our dreams will come true (love comes over you)
    When love, when love comes over you (love comes over you)
    And all of our dreams will come true (love comes over you)
    Love comes over you (love comes over you)
    Love comes over you (love comes over you)
    Love comes over you (love comes over you)
    Love comes over you (love comes over you)
    Love comes over you (love comes over you)
    Love comes over you (love comes over you)
    Love comes over you (love comes over you)
    Love comes over you (love comes over you)
    Thank you

    - As well as the fourth string will be as a G
    - And the fifth string will be as it is: a B
    - And the top string down to a D

    My dad played guitar double neck steel and he had an older single neck. I took him once to guitar show case in the bay area there happed to be quite a few people in the shop he had a crowd around him. He tuned an acoustic broke out a slide and had a crowd of musicians around him they said they had never seen anyone play like that it was years ago I grew up with it so I didnt think it was any big deal. LOL he allso told me back in the 1930's He was playing at a road side dance in string Town Oklahoma someone happend to see a car with automatic rifles in the back seat and called the local sheriff . It turned out to be Bonnie and clide they killed the sheriff's deputy. That is a true story. He was a character I onley wish I had learned more from him. The memories came back as I remembered Claptons song I shot the sheriff.
