How many drummers out there keep coming back to this version for Steve Gadd's performance? I mean, talk about groove and playing with the band, and so very nuanced. This for me is easily one of my top 5 fav all-time. It always inspires!
As a non drummer, I have so much admiration for Steve G here. Ever since I first heard this version I was sold on him. It's as if he plays ever so slightly behind the beat? And the way he is so in sync with Eric (and vice versa) - espy at the start of the main solo when Eric hits that note!
@@duffrox1964And that is what always brings me back besides all the awesome performances. I was trying to explain how the horns read Eric instead of the fill and I’m pretty sure she doesn’t need me to talk music for a while. I wonder if this sticks with Gadd or he can just shake it off next song because he’s Steve Gadd.
This is the best version of this song that I've ever heard. Eric's guitar playing is awesome and, Steve Gadd tops it all of with his excellent drumming.
Este señor es el mejor gutiarrista de todos los tiempos, cada nota que toca parece que le corre por el cuerpo, es increíble. Cada día aprendo más de Clapton y su técnica. Para todos los guitarristas de hoy en día que solo hacen ruido, escuchá ya aprende.
@@tisoychuy8433 Yeah, Gary is in my top3 for sure. I bought a Gary Moore cd collection many years ago, I still listen to all of them frequently. My favourites are "After Hours" "Blues for Greeny" and obviously "Still got the blues" . Gary was wonderful, huge loss.
It's a great version. Gadd getting all the room he needs to show his amazing skill as a musician. And the little joke at the end with the filler shows the great chemistry between them. Love it
Wow, this song is so much better live than it was when I heard it over and over and over again on the radio in 1974+ Its really awesome hearing it now live after I haven't heard it for years.
i dont think u realize what happened ... the drummer started the outro early and clapton kept doing the lick over and over again so the band could reestabilish time ...thats why he smiles back at him after saving it ...
Ladies & gentlemen, there are about a hundred different I Shot The Sheriff performances of EC on UA-cam and everybody has a different favorite one. That's the power of Slowhand❤️
Some people notice Gadd starts the outro lick early. For the longest time, I thought it was Gadd who saved this from being a disaster. Nobody notices that had Eric not kept playing that repetitive lick over and over, the song would’ve crashed. He played it until the entire band could reset and reestablish time. Fucking masterful musicianship
@@prathameshbhambure yes sir... They play it off so smoothly, I didnt notice it the first several times I listened. As a musician myself, I cant tell you how spot on you have to be to save a song like this
I've heard this song & even played this song many many times !!! I'm not sure if there is a better version 🤔 ? Well, it's pretty amazing in my humble opinion
Tremendo concierto queda para la historia con ese conjunto de musicos mis respetos para todos ellos, es emocionante ver un show de estas caracteristicas
How can a crowd listen to something BRILLIANT like this, excellent musicians, CLAPTON playing and not even move ? Dance, shake, move at least, feel the music !
amazing groove ,i love the way steve gadd got the end triplet roll in the wrong place at the end and ec smiles at him .then nods like crazy to signal the time for the fill .the groove stays soo solid regardless .amzing playing from steve and Eric
I love what Eric did with Bob's song....this is absolutely amazing! I cannot believe I only found it now? What have I been missing? Thanks for the great video. No one compares to 'Slowhand"......no one. He is the best bar none. Cheers music lovers.
The debates about guitar players will never end, but its like apples and oranges. Some people prefer flashy technical stuff and think that makes someone "great". Others, myself included, hear music differently. I like less flash and more feel. I don't judge the making of music like an olympic sport. Faster and more complex do not equate to "better" for me. It is two totally different views of playing and how to approach the making of music. It's all about personal preference and I prefer EC.
3:45 lo que hace el batero es simplemente espectacular. Y el otro corte del solo, es increible. Que barbaridad, la mejor version que escuche en mi vida.
I think was the best version of this Bob Marley classic I've ever seen. Interesting vocal by Clapton, with a powerhouse horn section and backup singers, too. With the ever-present Chris Stainton on piano and Steve Gadd anchoring the rhythm section, it just doesn't get any better.
I find this the most enjoyable version of this tune EC has ever presented, in no small measure due to Steve Gadd. He finds the exact right feel for the Reggae groove that dives the song, with accents always right where they need to be to assist the other players. And the section of the solo, where it's obvious EC and Steve are locked in cosmic sync (EC turning smiling as his notes drop perfectly into Steve's groove) is just a thing of beauty. That's real music magic right there baby!
CrustyCurmudgeon Steve is my drumming idol, seriously I used to think he was overrated then as I got older I started noticing how much of a damn groove god he is, and I started slowly picking up TONS of gems in his playing. He is also one of the most recorded drummers ever, played with damn near everyone including their mother! Lol He is my idol!
For the uninitiated (though I'm a serious guitar player), can you tell us a little about Lace Sensors, and what they do? I might google it, but if you have personal experience I'd be interested to hear about it. I agree this is a great sound for Clapton (tone, in particular), better than many other versions over the years. Would have enjoyed hearing Clapton on a Les Paul once in a while to see what he could do with it, but that's a whole other conversation! LOL.
Designed in the 80's to minimize noise as well as string pull (non magnetic), the Lace Sensors were an attempt to make a top of the line professional single coil pickup that would deliver a vintage Fender sound without the 60 cycle hum often associated with it. Back in the day, they were used by a lot of artists, including Clapton, Buddy Guy and Jeff Beck.
I love towards the end when Steve and Eric lock in, and Eric keeps shooting a glance and smile back towards Steve as he supports the solo perfectly. Great camera work and editing to catch that non-verbal communication between them.
Eric Clapton é simplesmente sensacional! Gosto muito de seu estilo musical, com muito solo de guitarra e um timbre de voz peculiar, assim como um repertório indiscutível. Ou seja, simplesmente Eric Clapton ☺️😎
I love Eric Clapton, obviously in this the crowd did not seem the same appreciation, at Hyde Park - London, they just did not seem to get in the mood. but you have to keep a sniff of the Bob Marley in there to make it work, after all it was his song to start with, anyways enjoy all what ever group you choose, it always nice to have freedom of choice, YES :-)
+Gabriel alves de souza Hey Gabriel, I'll admit that Gadd is still one of the best and an innovator, but to compare him to God? Watch how he comes out of the solo too early at 7:12. The infallible Steve Gadd gets the shake off by Clapton. Then Clapton gives him a look like, "What the heck are you doing" all the time smiling but you can tell he's peeved (especially in light of playing for that crowd!). I guarantee, Clapton wouldn't have shaken God off like that and would have come out of his own solo early. :)
+Tan D Lion (FYB) +Tj Grandt I think he turns his head because he was pleasantly surprised by Steve’s fill, and shaked his head thinking; “look at him, he’s enjoying himself”Anyway it was a nice ending of a great solo.
+Tan D Lion (FYB) If you watch a lot of these performances, you'll notice that Gadd came in early with that fill. He always does it to transition into that part at 7:34 - that's why he turns back around and nods his head again to say "ok, now!". Either way, still a phenomenal performance by Gadd. One of my favorite drummers.
I love when that little mistake happened with Steve Gadd while Clapton was soloing it literally sounds like Claptons guitar is saying “No! No! No! No!!!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The bassline in this masterpiece is tremendous. I don’t know where and when this live version was originaly unleashed by Clapton, but since it was has been the best version of this song ever made. In terms of guitar solo and bassline there is no comparsion with any other interpretation, far beyond the original by Marley. The only way to do a comparsion it is between the own versions of Eric Clapton, for me Hyde Park is the best one.
I think this version and Bob Marleys version on The Legend Album are two different songs that should not be compared just because they’re the same song Reason Eric Clapton is an amazing guitarist who made this version his live song legend Yes the baseline is fantastic - but the drummer in Eric’s band is the best thing going in the whole song - even greater than Eric’s solo and I’m a guitarist too Eric’s bass player and drummer are brilliant - but in this song they are mere servants to Marleys creative geniuses in his band But Bob Marley deserves every credit fir being the creator of this song with his rhythm section- the baseline in his version is untouchably unique and genius and the drumlins in the original is mythical Eric’s solo in this version is invincibly one of his most inspired and it alone sets Erics version apart from all versions But there has been no solo on the planet by any guitarist that can outshine any song Bob Marley wrote What I think is happening here is three things 1) Bob Marley and the Wailers legacy will live forever in eternity 2) His song I shot the Sheriff will be copied by everyone forever 3) Eric Clapton is a legend in his own right and will be celebrated in rock and blues to the end of days - his style will be copied by all ... That’s all ... Respect Jah Rastafari
So you don't think that on this version that is in my replay Clapton playing like 20 times better with more feel? Check this one from Tokyo 1988 ua-cam.com/video/afDo-MnNyBg/v-deo.html
@7:12 Gadd jumps the gun. @7:20 Clapton gives Gadd the stink eye for miscueing the ending tag - Eric gives the real signal @7:30 to conclude. A true band leader moment & lesson to all drummers. Wait for the leader's REAL cue. ;) Long live LIVE music.
ASSHOLE!! That's not the point. He said, "Clapton is FOR ME the Best Guitarist in the World". Why would you feel the need to argue with someone else's opinion!!! They aren't required to agree with you!!! LOL... SMH!!! Just saying... ;O)
7:15 you see clapton shaking his head, signaling gadd that it isnt time yet.. gadd did the fill for the outro part 4 bars too early.. clapton smiling at gadd after... 7:30 clapton turns to gadd and nods to signal "now!".. :))
I remember, was during my grade 9 or 10grade days but be vibing and relating to all these masterpieces "A AS FUK". Still have the original DVD as it is.

And ppl say Clapton ain’t that good. I don’t get it. This particular video has gotten me through some of the darkest times of my life. Fucking legend.
I've watched this video 1k times and for me this is the best guitar solo I've ever heard! It's definitely telling the whole story...
This one and the long solo in Old Love later into this same concert.
@@vicbarrett540 they are beautiful !

I have the DVD and when I play it on my home theatre, it is just... amazing!
What’s it called? When? This version is amazing.
@@MattFoleysGhost Clapton at Hyde Park 1996
I need that.
Subtle flex
It's been 8 years this guy is probably dead bless his soul
That look Clapton gives Gadd us what the magic and happy accidents of live music is all about.
Yes, 'happy accidents' make music great
I would say it wasn’t an accident, but Steve was trying to break him out of his laziness.
Probably the best live version of this song with amazing solo. Eric is GOD!
Febrero 1991 UA-cam try
No, he's a guitar player.
Eric Clapton= Godfather of Guitar Playing!
This version of this tune right here always hits me.
Just...man...Clapton.
*bows*
Nobody understands more than Eric Clapton That there is a beginning a middle and a end in a solo! and nobody does it better...
quite a few understands it more but yeah, hes great.
That's soooooo true it's like a movie a true masterpiece
@@tbeee6168 and who may that be ??
Maybe Derek Trucks?
Eric and Derek Trucks come to mind on this. Both two of my heroes and I definitely try to take that to use in my playing.

One of my favorite live performances - pure genius by the legend!
This is a masterpiece no matter what the genre. Every part of this band was flying in the heavens, and Eric was the conductor!
It's a great version. Gadd getting all the room he needs to show his amazing skill as a musician. And the little joke at the end with the filler shows the great chemistry between them. Love it
The intro only, brings shivers down my spine.
Legend.Guitarist extraordinaire.
Para mi el mejor guitarrista del mundo, maestro Erick Clapton.
Steve Gadd is just killing it on the drums in this song. Man, what a drummer. Of course Eric is amazing as well.
After all these year's this still gives me the chills.....that people is what LEGENDS are made of.....
ㄷㄸㅊ
I still get chills watching this and I have many many many times!! Just the best ! Period
I love this song. Clapton is one of the best musicians ever:)
One of my personal favorite Clapton solo concerts he really plays with feeling this night very inspiring for us young guitarists!
Incredible improvisation. Vocal, guitar solo, cretive arrange and performance level of the whole band. One of the most genius musicians in history.
Wow, this song is so much better live than it was when I heard it over and over and over again on the radio in 1974+ Its really awesome hearing it now live after I haven't heard it for years.
Love this version and the sound of harmonica
The best DVD... Love Clapton
Whatever music you listen to , Bob Marley got everyone to agree …
Thank you Eric and your band for this great version 👏
this is how a grateful guitar player looks at his wonderful drummer ( see 7:15). i love it

The Genius and feelings of Slowhand&friend at the utmost.
The best release of such immortal song, ever

This guy really needs to get a cocaine addiction, maybe then he'll be cool, maybe then..

Back in his Lace Sensor pickup days---best sound.
H
For the uninitiated (though I'm a serious guitar player), can you tell us a little about Lace Sensors, and what they do? I might google it, but if you have personal experience I'd be interested to hear about it.

definitely those vintage noiseless shot the sensors
Designed in the 80's to minimize noise as well as string pull (non magnetic), the Lace Sensors were an attempt to make a top of the line professional single coil pickup that would deliver a vintage Fender sound without the 60 cycle hum often associated with it. Back in the day, they were used by a lot of artists, including Clapton, Buddy Guy and Jeff Beck.
thank you for that information ,i think claptons tone was much better when he used the lace equipped guitars .
Ah ! Éternel Clapton, incontournable, si talentueux ,j'adorerai toujours !
YOU SAVED MY MI LIFE RIGHT NOW....HOW IN EARTH CAN YOU SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!
The best version of I shot the sherif ..EC is my favorite band since my high school days 1979
I love towards the end when Steve and Eric lock in, and Eric keeps shooting a glance and smile back towards Steve as he supports the solo perfectly. Great camera work and editing to catch that non-verbal communication between them.
Ce grand de la musique nous étonnera encore et encore, le batteur fait des étincelles au deuxième couplet
Yes i like
Un concerto da ricordare !!!!!
Thé more I watch this solo, the more I love it thanks to its imperfections ❤️
In a class of his OWN. I can't even explain it.

Dubai Storm endless legend
Great but you also should give feedback on Gary Moore "I Had A Dream" the solo is something I think you would like
For anyone on the fence - Id give them Hyde Park.
He’s God, actually.

I love when that little mistake happened with Steve Gadd while Clapton was soloing it literally sounds like Claptons guitar is saying “No! No! No! No!!!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Qué cerebro para componer estas canciones, superlativo ERIC superlativo.
The bassline in this masterpiece is tremendous. I don’t know where and when this live version was originaly unleashed by Clapton, but since it was has been the best version of this song ever made. In terms of guitar solo and bassline there is no comparsion with any other interpretation, far beyond the original by Marley. The only way to do a comparsion it is between the own versions of Eric Clapton, for me Hyde Park is the best one.
I think this version and Bob Marleys version on The Legend Album are two different songs that should not be compared just because they’re the same song
Reason
Eric Clapton is an amazing guitarist who made this version his live song legend
Yes the baseline is fantastic - but the drummer in Eric’s band is the best thing going in the whole song - even greater than Eric’s solo and I’m a guitarist too
Eric’s bass player and drummer are brilliant - but in this song they are mere servants to Marleys creative geniuses in his band
But Bob Marley deserves every credit fir being the creator of this song with his rhythm section- the baseline in his version is untouchably unique and genius and the drumlins in the original is mythical
Eric’s solo in this version is invincibly one of his most inspired and it alone sets Erics version apart from all versions
But there has been no solo on the planet by any guitarist that can outshine any song Bob Marley wrote
What I think is happening here is three things
1) Bob Marley and the Wailers legacy will live forever in eternity
2) His song I shot the Sheriff will be copied by everyone forever
3) Eric Clapton is a legend in his own right and will be celebrated in rock and blues to the end of days - his style will be copied by all ...
That’s all ...
Respect
Jah Rastafari
So you don't think that on this version that is in my replay Clapton playing like 20 times better with more feel? Check this one from Tokyo 1988 ua-cam.com/video/afDo-MnNyBg/v-deo.html
The guitar tone is crap to be honest. Sounds shrill and un-EQ'd. And his drummer jumped off time so bad Clapton had to give him "the look" haha.
@@jbrashguitarist agree,i think Eric had the best sound in the 80s when he used lots of effects like metal boss and chorus
@@jbrashguitarist I’d say your speakers are shit and that look isn’t fuck all to do with his drummer doing anything but being perfect.
Must have listened to this so so many times , we have a great time when Eric goes into one ! Thanks Eric
@7:12 Gadd jumps the gun. @7:20 Clapton gives Gadd the stink eye for miscueing the ending tag - Eric gives the real signal @7:30 to conclude.
A true band leader moment & lesson to all drummers.
Wait for the leader's REAL cue. ;) Long live LIVE music.
I wouldn't call that the stink eye. More like the ooops smile. Still didn't miss a beat. Audience oblivious to it which is what really counts.
I’m glad Steve did it because it was boring as hell
La meilleurs version de tout les temps !!!!!
Le meilleurs solo qu'a improvisé Clapton depuis que la terre tourne !
Eric. Clapton is for me to time the Best Guitarist in the World....!!!! okay bye Martin
Hallo Sun Light ok Hendrix and Clapton have play together!! Ook Hendrix and Clapton are the besten ok all the Best bye Martin
+Sun Light clapton is better

"Which fruit is better, apples or oranges??" What a stupid argument!!! LOL.
Is the best performance that i ever seen. Mainly the intro, just great. Clapton is God.
7:15 you see clapton shaking his head, signaling gadd that it isnt time yet.. gadd did the fill for the outro part 4 bars too early.. clapton smiling at gadd after... 7:30 clapton turns to gadd and nods to signal "now!".. :))
I caught that too! Lol
Je crois plutôt que Clapton a été émerveillé et surpris par les "fills" de Gadd. Beau moment, belle sinergie entre musiciens. Wow. :-)
I wouldn't mind outro fills every 4 beats! It sounded great!
Wow, cool) I didn’t know about it
sorry brother but what he did it's perfect....he only knew he filled it perfect. he smiled at him cause he is enjoing
i am speechless... it was beautiful!
Eric clapton king of lead guitar and living legend
oh yeah...EC is awesome...I have heard this done live at least four times by him, and it is different and wonderful each time!
oh Senhor! Como eu amo esse homem!!!!
