I have loved Eric since 1970 just going into high school and have never stopped now I m 66. There were years I cooled , stuff not completely up my wheelhouse, but never stopped. When Eric leaves us, I will just go to bed and pull the covers up.😢
This Could be called the perfect balance and limits between a singer ability to sing and the mastery of the instrument he plays, and his improvisational skills, he really is an example of a great musician
Man. nobody commented in 2 years? Eric Clapton is one of the best guitarist. He's about to kick the bucket. He should be remembered for such a great talent.
This man is a genius of the guitar and of melody too. This piece is just sublime. I don't understand why so few people took the trouble to drop a line. Anyway, regardless of this, his music will live on like the other great ones who came centuries before. Eric you''re number one
It was a bad breakup for both of us. I loved him more than he ever knew and whenever I hear this song, I realize that I still miss him and the way that we were together when it was good. I will get that ache in my heart every time I hear this song. This version has me near tears.
Don't lie. RC's contribution is negligible. Above all, he has no such great song, guitar or creativity. Respect and thank Clapton. This song and performance is based on Clapton's talent. It's impossible for Clay
Geniusz gitary, przekazu - słuchać, słuchać do końca świta i o jeszcze jeden dzień dłużej. Coś pięknego !!! Dla mnie dzień bez muzyki Erica Claptona - to dzień stracony. Wielkie ukłony dla Mistrza
...the intro to this song is the best, with my broken heart and how much he meant to me, and then Eric and this song,... i can not manage my tears. They reflect the image of Sean and his guitar in hand, playing this song, and now the hurt that rips your breath from you. Eric, you amaze me, if ever there was someone that could make a guitar sound as if she were making love to her hearts desire, her lover.. it is you. what a gift.
This man is so damn good, his solo gives me goosebumbs al over my body and brings tears to my eyes, so beautifull!!! Thanks for all the joy you bring to man kind Eric!
There comes a time in life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh, forget the bad, and focus on the good. So love the people who treat you right, pray for the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living.Eric Clapton is someone who believes this. I think so.
Another perfect solo performed by Eric Clapton, one of the few remaining artist that can transform musical notes into pure feelinkg to the few who can enjoy such beautiful poetry transformed into notes... Salutes to one of the main spokesman of Blues.
Damn, the Man is good, and the solo each and every thime it gives me goosbumbs over every part of my body!!! Thanks for the joy you bring to the people Eric, you're the best!!!
This man is an example for many people, not only for his outstanding music, but also for all he has been throu, and still sanding!!!! And verry important, you can always see him enyoing making music, he is GREAT!!!
My name's Fran Raya and I'm a female singer/songwriter from the UK. I was invited to support Eric Clapton on his Scandinavian tour performing my own songs. His band then were Gary Brooker, Albert Lee, Chris Stainton, Dave Markee and Henry Spinetti. After my spot I'd watch him from the side of the stage. He was amazing. I am SO proud to have toured with him.
I saw him in Memphis on March 5th, and he is showing his age. But damn he can still make a guitar talk. The man is a living legend, and will always be. People who talk about him not being good anymore really don't have any respect for Eric. I must say his performance in Memphis was almost flawless. Keep rockin Slowhand!
If not his masterpiece, please show me what it is because this performance is utterly mind-blowing. He uses his guitar to touch the heart and pierce the soul with a beauty and aching longing like no other.
To say this is some of the very best the world has to offer would be stating the obvious but I just don't know what else to say. It's performances like this that prove his world class status. We are bless to have access to such a talented group of performers. Thank you!
Fabulous guitar playing as you'd expect but I'm just so impressed with his vocal here. Absolutely dripping with heart wrenching feel!! Great lyrics! Didn't know was an Eric Clapton/Robert Cray co-write 'til now!
front row,,center at Carter Finley Stadium in Chapel Hill NC... one of the highlights of my life..I've always respected musicians...what a tough business to be in..This man has all my love and respect. This has got to be one of his best performances.. Thank you robert cray.
"Clapton is God" was originally penned on a subway wall in London in the mid-sixties. It might have been a little discourteous, but it demonstrates he has been touching peoples hearts and souls for close to 50 years. This concert truly was the "top of his game". Wish I could have been there.
Wahnsinnsblues. Od love von old slowhand. Alte liebe rostet nicht. Ob carlos santana,roy buchanan,robert cray,peter green, und all die anderen unvergessenen helden ,clapton is the best.
Probably THE most emotionally moving guitar solo I have ever heard. Absolutely unbelievable talent. Gave me chills the first time I saw this concert video about 10 years ago; still does it every time.
Eric Clapton è il re della chitarra elettrica fenderblues. E basta!!!!!!! In questa esecuzione c'è un'energia notevole e quella giusta dose di "cazzimma" come si dice a Napoli. Thank you Eric.
no matter how often I hear this lovesong..it still sends chills down my spine..great solo...Mr Clapton. I've seen this played live..so beautiful, you could hear a pin drop when the song began.
this song is unquestionably a masterpiece. I think one of the best versions is this concert. Blues is a reflection of the pain experienced and eric does it magnificently. vocal tells what needs to be told, but the solo makes things beyond it....long life eric
captivating. moving. claptons fingers have the ability to convey emotion that cannot be put into any amount of words. six strings making melodies which are able to change the mortal soul.
What could be better than having one of best guitarists ever in Calpton playing live. Also having one of the best drummers playing along side him in Steve Gadd. Brillaint song and those 2 are brillant playing there instruments. Top notch.
You're right about the creative side of this. Imagine being capable of creating music like this? Amazing. The words alone are enough but the music too!! They don't call him God for nothing. I love the guy. John Mayer is also a gifted musician but, who is to say if he's up there with Eric and the rest. Time will tell. If he's creating and producing in 40yrs, he will be there. But the thing is, it has to have appeal. No good if only a few people are "getting" it. Many people have to get it!!!!
Clapton's genius isn't in speed, it's in control. His bending and vibrato are just incredible. This video shows that to full effect.
Un virtuose !
@spwstrat perfectly said!
I simply CAN'T get over this song. It is perfect.
sure it is!
My favorite performance. My favorite Clapton Song, legendary guitarist. It's not the notes, it's the fucking space between them.
Ewan McFadyen lmaooo I saw that interview 🤣🤣🤣
This never gets old - never. 10 years later and it's still giving me chills
Ditto!!
Now 16 years later 😆
Life without Clapton's music would be unbearable. For me one of his most beautiful songs. He makes the guitar cry with emotion.
🤩🤩
I have loved Eric since 1970 just going into high school and have never stopped now I m 66. There were years I cooled , stuff not completely up my wheelhouse, but never stopped. When Eric leaves us, I will just go to bed and pull the covers up.😢
one of the best guitar performances in history. his guitar really sings, its unbelievable
He is amazing himself, but this song is OUT OF THIS PLANET! I can't get enough of it.
This Could be called the perfect balance and limits between a singer ability to sing and the mastery of the instrument he plays, and his improvisational skills, he really is an example of a great musician
Man. nobody commented in 2 years? Eric Clapton is one of the best guitarist. He's about to kick the bucket. He should be remembered for such a great talent.
Is he sick ?
Clapton is God!

What do u mean kick the bucket
What is wrong with him
Well, he is still alive today so...
The audience give the solo a standing ovation before it's even finished. Great stuff.
👌💯
This song never gets old. NEVER.
It was a bad breakup for both of us. I loved him more than he ever knew and whenever I hear this song, I realize that I still miss him and the way that we were together when it was good. I will get that ache in my heart every time I hear this song. This version has me near tears.
Forget corona virus for a few glorious minutes.
This got me thru a almost relapse back in 2016.. I have six years this winter. One of my most favorite live performances
Glorius glorius....
Since 2016 Iam strong but my love for Thoms is Bigger.
A strong woman and hard?,but not for my lover.
Forget it full stop . It’s bullshit
My main man- keep playing the blues that gives me goosies!!! Clapton IS GOD!!! Man no one can even come close!!!!
One of the true legends left. God Bless Eric Clapton.
One of eric's masterpieces...can't beat it.
My favorite Clapton tune and my favorite version. Simply awesome!! Thank you Robert Cray for co writing this incredible song.
racyrick1 oui
Thanks racyrick1 for good information about RC’s part in this. Love this song too. So much. Yes, this is my favourite version.
Don't lie. RC's contribution is negligible. Above all, he has no such great song, guitar or creativity. Respect and thank Clapton. This song and performance is based on Clapton's talent. It's impossible for Clay

Artyzm Claptona przechodzi na najwyższy poziom. Absolutny geniusz. 🎸

Eric Clapton is so great because you can feel the emotion in every song. There are so many guitarists today that just shred. this is pure emotion
Clapton plays and the world stands still to listen...
Been a huge Clapton fan for years and this song is always one to go to as one of the best.
You never get tired of watching someone who is the absolute master of his craft. Yhank you, Eric, for almost half a century of amazing music.
And that's why ladies and gentlemen, Clapton is at the top of the Olympus in guitarland!
Another perfect solo performed by Eric Clapton, one of the few remaining artist that can transform musical notes into pure feelinkg to the few who can enjoy such beautiful poetry transformed into notes...

Un virtuose dans son art !!
It's hard to say it, takes long time to think, but, this one might be, my favorite Clapton's song.
The best cameraman in the whole world
Que genio ,que buen gusto ,el mundo a escuchado y visto a este grande del blues ,nada sin palabras!!!.
Just to say what a terrific soulful singer Eric is.....as well as a wonderful guitarist.....
It's amazing that I've listened to this song for so many years and now I see so many people have also listened for as long as I have, fabulous !!
Damn, the Man is good, and the solo each and every thime it gives me goosbumbs over every part of my body!!!
Thanks for the joy you bring to the people Eric, you're the best!!!
His guitar playing really brings tears to my eyes
Eric is so good at playing that Fender he makes it look effortless.
"sings better than he plays" wow .. what planet are you from ///the best hands in the business for 40 years
Ohhh, this is one of my favorite songs of his! Thank you so much Eric Clapton!! You are a musical genius! The BEST! L.Buurke
Подобного не слышал!!! Это Эрик Клэптон Душевный гитарист просто Глыба!!!❤❤❤❤

This guy is a total genius
Standing ovation in the middle of a solo? what an amazing experience it must've been to have been there!
My father is always playing this song, which made me start learning it too.
Its is so cool to play and it is definitly one of my favorite tunes.
To say this is some of the very best the world has to offer would be stating the obvious but I just don't know what else to say. It's performances like this that prove his world class status. We are bless to have access to such a talented group of performers. Thank you!
been listening to this live performance for over 10 years and it still gives me chills every time. Especially 1:45
Incredible, simply incredible! Totally agree - this never gets old! The intro blows me away. What is that? A soft Europa? Amazing.
Hair stood on its ends and tears came to my eyes in that solo. Wow!
Eric just has that tone that reaches deep into to you , he is truly special
Fabulous guitar playing as you'd expect but I'm just so impressed with his vocal here. Absolutely dripping with heart wrenching feel!! Great lyrics! Didn't know was an Eric Clapton/Robert Cray co-write 'til now!
Just what I was thinking too.... soulful
One of the most beautiful sounds I've ever heard...Clapton pours his heart out in this love you slowhand :-)
front row,,center at Carter Finley Stadium in Chapel Hill NC... one of the highlights of my life..I've always respected musicians...what a tough business to be in..This man has all my love and respect. This has got to be one of his best performances.. Thank you robert cray.
as always, EC is humble despite his magnificent performance. Like the way he bows in acknowledgement of the standing ovation
Best version of this song ever!! Amazing solo!!!
I think this is the oldest comment I've ever seen
he was at the top of his game that night :)
I saw him in Frankfurt Germany in 1990. I was 12 but still knew that I was seeing something special..
I could listen to Eric Clapton for hours and hours. One of the greatest guitarist I’ve even heard. Plus, I love his singing. Play on...
Man, that drummer is killing it!!! Great performance!
Yeah! Steve Gadd!
please can you come back on tour eric, i die for live music and you are on the top of the list i HAVE too see, play in the states bud, we luv ya
I think 12 people were so amazed and awed by this God of guitar that they were still watching him and clicked the dislike button.
If I died whilst listening to this, I’d die happy with a tear in my eye at the exquisite beauty of the music.
listened it 100 times, hundred time goosebumps.....
Great Blues with a feeling!! Played like he has been through it all. Love the feelings and emotion felt..
I saw Eric in Ottawa on this tour. He had Robert Cray come out and play with him on this song and it was amazing.
This is one of his best, I can isten to it over and over. What an artist.
This is why i like Eric Clapton so much. Old love, Old Hand.
Steve Gad is amazing! (drums)
Without him, I think this solo wouldn't be so perfect. If Eric Clapton is God, Steve Gad is an angel !
This song is a masterpiece of music. When I hear it makes me feel alive and happy. Even though it's quiet a sad sounding song. In a word amazing.
I swear that my heart explodes when i listen this song !
Hope you still have a heart.

Everything is cool. And teacher, and brother, God.
But more, please continue to inspire us.
Wahnsinnsblues. Od love von old slowhand. Alte liebe rostet nicht. Ob carlos santana,roy buchanan,robert cray,peter green, und all die anderen unvergessenen helden ,clapton is the best.
The truth of this song is the blues. It's his blues. No one can recreate this. Fucking amazing.
Such a tune....Clapton is by far the best there is and ever will be
Seeing him in concert tomorrow night. Praying he plays this song! ❤️❤️
I saw Clapton in San Diego two weeks ago. The man is too awesome for works, a true legend. Imho this is his best song and he killed it.
My favorite Eric's song!!!!
Incredible!!!
I think it' express Eric the most!!!
Probably THE most emotionally moving guitar solo I have ever heard. Absolutely unbelievable talent. Gave me chills the first time I saw this concert video about 10 years ago; still does it every time.
the intro is pure feeling :D
his strat sound combined with his voice perfects the whole impression.
yes he is god :)
Eric Clapton ist ein genialer Künstler und ein großartiger Mensch. 🦊
Great performance! Wish I could have seen whole concert.
Eric Clapton è il re della chitarra elettrica fenderblues.
E basta!!!!!!!
In questa esecuzione c'è un'energia notevole e quella giusta dose di "cazzimma" come si dice a Napoli.
Thank you Eric.
Thank you whoever posted this awesome masterpiece of Clapton!
the passion in the solo elevates it above most others, whatever you think of clapton
you never hear anyone play with this much passion anymore. shame.
this is beyond words...this is beyond life...this is Eric Clapton!!!!!!!

Nobody does it like this man….Period!!
