I know. I’m grateful for him everyday. He did the hard shit and managed to survive and thrive. He is one of the lucky ones. I honestly wonder how he did it. We’ve lost too many to drugs.
I saw Jeff Beck walking out of radio station in Manhattan bye himself,I walked over to him nice and mello and said I was a big fan can I have a autograph he said NO! and kept on walking.It was in mid 80's.As he kept on walking I yelled to him JIMMY'S better
Man,watching Jimmy from 80 to 85 is really difficult...He was at his worst around this time...Severe heroin addiction,losing his dear friend Bonzo and disbanding of Zeppelin...Difficult times!In all of his ARMS concert footage he seems like he's trying to get lost in music...in an interview he said he didn't pick up a guitar for 18 months after Bonzo because he was too scared,and when he did he couldn't even change chords properly. So yeah,he's definitely struggling here,but it is part of his ups and downs as a musician,and we all know he is a damn extraordinary one!I'm really happy he got better after that time and found himself again.That's one of the reasons I love him so much!You Rock Jimmy,always and forever!😍
I'm 65 yo meloman.Seem's to me I'm dreaming!Music from the Univers!Each musician on the stage-master of his instrument! But three of them-outstanding musicians!Bravo!👻☮️
Beautifully sweet moment when Jimmy runs over and pats Eric on the shoulder in the middle of his signature song. Jimmy was wasted, for sure, but Eric and Jeff were trying to help him in recovery, both having had severe drug problems they overcame. Loved all three since the '60s. RIP, Jeff. 💕💕💕
Yeah I saw that, but I thought Jimmy was already sober by then,?? what year was this?, it's a bunch of s*** when nobody post any dates or history on these videos.!! 🎶🎸🐦
I am probably in the minority..people don't come for me..I don't like the piano coda that much. You go from all this great guitar playing into piano, it sounds like a different song. But, Layla is my favorite song. I love you eric❤.
Gregg Mackie, than you had the one of the greatest time of your life to be that lucky. Like many others I consider "Layla" to be a masterpiece. In March of this year I found a guy who plays the piano marvelously so I subscribed to his channel. For a couple of hours ago, he shared a video where he plays... "Layla". I hope you will enjoy it too. Have a marvelous week ahead. ua-cam.com/video/suq2HW4wdUA/v-deo.html&start_radio=1
I was there. ARMS concert LA Forum 1983. Probably the best concert l ever saw. Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton each played a set, then they all played together.

Priceless music and performance. Music in 2021 sucks! Where are the next generation of musicians to carry this torch? Or, maybe the originals were so great there will never be anyone capable of taking the music and expanding it. Miss those great years. Peace be upon Grinch!
I think you're right about music being so great that it can't be touched now. There is no emotion in music anymore. People now are worried more about fame than thier music. These guys truly loved making music, fame was secondary.
I like how Jeff Beck just looks all around,seeing who looks high,he's very in tune with everything that's happening on stage,he isn't missing a trick,lol.
I knew who Jeff Beck was in the late 1960s, but didn't notice him much until about two weeks ago. He's a beast, but the most striking thing to me is that he looks like he's aged about 15 years since he played with the Yardbirds and most of the musicians from that era (who are still alive) look old enough to to be at least his father. He must have a self-portrait in his attic that looks like ABSOLUTE DEATH!
😢 This is too hard to believe.. Jeff Beck, my Jeff just passed away and there is a huge hole in the music world.. Rest in The Eternal Light 🕯 I will love and respect you Forever, as long as I live😢
@@rockygraziano2339 Ray Cooper, also a lot of footage of him during Clapton's Royal Albert Hall concerts in the 1990s. More Cooper action 5:44 5:59 6:20
Ingens_Scherz, thank you for this precious info. Here's an instrumental jazzy version of "Layla" that you might like. Have a great week ahead. ua-cam.com/video/suq2HW4wdUA/v-deo.html
I agree. He started out a guitar player and really worked at singing and became great at it. A great blues singer and doesn’t get nearly enough credit for it.
Strangely, he didn't; in a 2010 interview he did for Mojo magazine to publicize his 18th studio album, Clapton, he said to the interviewers that he always disliked his singing voice since it was like that of a 16-year-old boy in Surbiton, while in actuality he was trying his best to imitate Ray Charles, saying that "Papa Ray" does it the way it needs to be done. Clapton prefers to be remembered for his guitar playing, which can never be denied.
I love the Derek and the Dominos on Johnny Cash and there's great video on UA-cam of Eric with this keyboard is Bobby singing Harmony Carlon base and of course Jim Gordon on drums and then Carl Perkins comes out with Johnny Cash and all three of them sing back by the Dominos
An iconic song Clapton wrote when he was consumed with love for Patti Boyd. Truly loving someone so much it's never ending, but you two never can get permanently together, so it just keeps twisting your heart out. Month's, to year's, to decades, but it never goes away. It just keeps twisting. Crazy thing called love.
Exceptional guitarist! However, his head is way in the outfield and he's rocking and his body is jittering. Can't be a caffeine high. Wonder if Beck tasted the candy. Glad I'm not those dudes.
Clapton litterally just makes it up on the spot the solo it’s different every time like he said the guitar is his voice it’s sings for him it’s so crazy how good that man is
If I were fortunate enough to have attended this concert I wouldn't need to go to any other concert. The greats are all there! Magnificent!!!!!. I wish I had Jimmy Page's gorgeous hair😂😊❤.
I actually attended this concert. It is a star in the firmament of my memory! A really brilliant concert with more well-known talented musicians than I can list off the top of my head, but I still have the program, if you need to know, than I suppose I could look it up. I was seated on the left hand side, quite close to the players, but a bit behind the stage, unusually & the acoustics were excellent. For me the trio of lead guitarists Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton & Jeff Beck were the most delightful thing, because I owned then (still do) a rare cassette of the three of them playing without any vocals etc., that I'd been listening to & that made it super to see them, live! It was a charity event, actually for Ronnie Lane & MS, as I recall.
Me too...both nights, back to.back. I can't believe it's been just over 39 years. It was amazing (but somewhat sad) when Jimmy took the Stage solo to play Stairway... Halfway thru, Clapton and Beck came out to basically "save" him. Jimmy had been so devastated by Bonzos loss he didn't touch a guitar for over a year. Still one of the best Concerts I've had the pleasure of seeing ✌️
I was here 12/08/83 fourth row directly in front of Clapton. Next to Zeppelin in 1977 this was THE most awesome concert I have ever seen. Ray Cooper was a gas to watch all night. You could tell he was having the time of his life!
Eric has health issues; Jimmy is busy monetizing every last scrap of Zeppelin memorabilia in sight; and Jeff, well Jeff will just continue his thing until he's in his 90s like Les Paul.
So that would work like, Beck picking up the phone and calling up Clapton and saying, "Hey ol' Eric there, I think you're looking a bit old and you sounded a bit senile the last time we spoke... I surmise that you must be ready to kick the bucket, but before you do... there's someone on YT going by "dd," commenting on an ARMS concert blog, that wants us to do a world tour with Pagey, so grab your strat, pack a suit case and let's go....???????"
They turned him down because he was so shit in this. Great guitarist, one of the best, but this performance was crap! Calling it like it obviously was! Either his guit is out of tune or he's just off key. Shocking!
Anyone notice how good they were with Charlie Watts and Bill Wyman providing the perfect beat to this wonderful tune. That made the collection of these musicians really shine
Since this was likely an "All-Star" event, with a final onstage Jam for all, I suppose that it's possible that the drummer (who I didn't recognize) was not incredibly familiar with the song (at least not the last part). Although I am a musician and can (if I "scrape" all of the dust off!) remember the particular terms, this one I can't. What I CAN say is the drum part at the end needed the snare to be "double-timed" as opposed to the part he played - snare lick twice as often as he played it. I felt that it made that part drag a bit instead of pushing it, and did not lend itself to some of the dynamic aspects that needed to be there. Also, not knowing why the mix was the way it was, both Beck's and Page's leads were mostly inaudible.
It's kinda funny to watch these three guitarists together. They all grew up in the same place (Hell, Page and Beck were friends from their teenage years), they played similar styles of music, and all started in the same band. Yet they all act completely different on stage. Eric is focused on singing, as well as playing, and is relaxed, Jeff is rigid and almost unmoving aside from his hands and swaying, and Jimmy is an animal, getting his whole body into it. And they'll all amazing.
In every video I've seen of Jimmy Page, he's always "dancing" while playing the guitar, all the way back when he was 13 years old since the "Christian and the Crusaders" band back in 1957,
Jimmy Page playing the slide for Duane Allman part is the most classic. Not to mention Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page & Eric Clapton all together again since the Yardbirds.
Well, the three weren't in the band at the same time. But name me any other 60's band that had 3 guitarists of that caliber in the band at any time. And hell, Page and Beck were in the 'Birds together. Wish I'd been there to see that.
I had always assumed that was Duane playing the slide, but I have since heard that possibly not, that they switched roles for that song. Is that possible?
Well thank you kindly, have been listening to music like this since the 60s and with everyone getting together and playing like this just blows the mind xx
The Greatest Band of all time is right there. The greatest then , now, future! You will never see any thing greater than what is standing on that stage.
3 of the best rock guitarists ever. I had a chance to see all three of them in person in the 60s but not together: Eric with Blindfaith, Jeff with Jeff Beck Group and Page with Zeppelin. RIP Jeff.
Eric Clapton was 100% totally clean of drugs and booze during the entire ARMS tour. The ARMS tour was Clapton's first major return to the stage after his treatment for alcoholism at Hazelton in 1980 during the "Another Ticket" tour. However, during the sessions for his next studio album that followed the ARMS tour, "Behind The Sun" (which he recorded with Phil Collins), he relapsed and ended up fathering a child with the studio manager out of wedlock. But during this tour, he was clean as can be folks. Read his autobiography. He is not one to B.S. people. Jimmy on the other hand.....see my previous post.
I was front and centre for this after queuing all night for tickets next to a guy who could`nt stop breaking wind, but it was so worth it. They almost had to almost carry Ronnie Lane onto the stage and he sang " Goodnight Irene". There was`nt a dry eye in the house. Thanks for bringing back the memories
That is an EXCELLENT POINT, urankjj... God bless you. I mean it. I hope all of these guys make it to Heaven. I have my doubts about Jimmy Page. I hope he is out of that occult stuff.
Fantastic iconic rock legends playing Eric Clapton's classic Layla and and Eric Clapton too rip to the late great Jeff Beck Charlie watts it seems like they all where have having a great time up the irons!! Maiden.manic🎼✨✨🌟🤘🎶🎶🇬🇧
When Page played a Yardbirds song to Beck he was blown away. When Clapton left Page was offered the job, he turned it down and recommended Beck. He joined Beck later playing bass but he switch to 2nd lead and then took over for Beck. Page claims Beck is the best and Clapton has always been in awe of the sounds Jeff gets from his guitar.
Ash Winder yeah. if not for the rocking with the greatest rock band of all time,pagecwould be nothing. I guess Lennon was shit without the Beatles too. lol. what the fuck you talking about?
Two phenomenal nights in December of 83. Both nights were just incredible. But it really was SO hard watching Jimmy. He was a wreck at this point, and understandably so. Bonzos loss crushed all of us, him especially, and he was so deep into the Smack he could barely function. Still tho, two nights I'll never forget. ✌️
No, actually it was to help Ronnie Lane with his medical bills. He was terminal with MS. By the time I saw him at Irvine Meadows he had to play guitar seated, he was so ill. 💔
I literally got goosebumps all over when they switched to the 2nd half with the piano! I was 11 when I first heard it and called up the DJ and they said it was called Layla! Damn all the current newbies can’t hold a candle to all the greats and legends that sprang up in the 60’s and 70’s. ♥️♥️🩷🔥🔥♥️🍷🍷🍷
was at this perf 10 December 1983 Ronnie Laine Appeal for MS,got in for free,best concert ever attended,near the stage,Charlie Watts,Ron Wood,Bill Wyman,Joe Cocker,this ended the show
FOR A NON MUSICIAN?, U R RIGHT ON. I MISSED "PUTNIN'S SHOW @ 1ST, THEN REALLY GOT INTO HIM.

I IDENTIFY W/"PAGE'S "DILEMA>ADDICTED/MOURNING CAN TAKE YRS.. I KNOW THIS TOO WELL> (LIVE LONG & PROSPER)
The "Putin lookalike" I believe you are referring to is the great Ray Cooper, a world renowned percussionist, not a notorious world leader. He has long had an association with Clapton live tours. His performance is stellar on Clapton's MTV Unplugged.
Always the recognized masters of the British rock and blues scene of the 60's, with never a word given to the one British guitarist from Robin Hood country (Nottingham) that in my opinion could play circles around the three of them.........the late, great Alvin Lee! Truly, the "Rodney Dangerfield" of great British guitarist because he never received anywhere near the level of respect he deserved for his ability on a guitar from critics or from his contemporaries from that era either.
Stunning at Woodstock, and his US tours that followed. I then saw him in the 90’s and he had changed his style, slowed down and appeared to be in an experimental phase. Didn’t work for me, obviously very talented and proficient guitarist but possibly why he didn’t get the fame and recognition,
3 bad ass icon guitarist 🎸 on one stage,sounding absolutely phenomenal and they are true legends and they will go down in history for their contributions to the music 🎶 🎵 world 🌎 🎉🎉
I was at this show in LA back in the early 80's. It was a benefit show put on by Ronnie Lane for the people of Kampuchea (now Cambodia) it was amazing to see all of these legends preform on the same stage.
Need another big NYC concert the day COVID-19 is gone for good. I’ll even donate to make it happen. One last one while we still have these guys with us.
Because some of them are not alive anymore, at least Joe Cocker is dead, Eric is 71, Jeff is 72, Bill Wyman is 79, Jimmy is also 72 and the one that bangs the tambourine like a maniac is Ray Cooper, 74. Today these guys would look like an Old Age Home residents on steroids and on millions. Don't forget this concert was in 1983, that's 33 yrs. ago!
+Purrete I was at the San Francisco show was dubbed Ronnie Lanes Appeal For A.R.M.S Benefit Concert an unforgettable night! I was firing up the best tree during the show was crazy Jimmy Page playing Stairway on his double neck🤘
don't know man, Eric and Jeff are still great! Although jimmy hasn't been active a lot, but he still knows how to play. seeing Ray's energie i believe he would even be able to rock it when he'd be pushing up daisies. wyman and cocker (rip) I agree with though!
@@davidcudlip6587 he was definietly under the effects of heroin during this show. It's still funny that everyone is normally playing the guitar, and then there's Page...
@@bradford_shaun_murray Could be he was already tired of the rock and roll lifestyle. Kudos to him for stepping down when it was no longer fun for him.
They always did. I guess it was part of their "coolness". There are a few early videos where I have seen Charlie smile, but not Bill. He was as dull as dull could be.
Wow! Doesn't get any better than this! A powerhouse of masters! RIP Jeff Beck. Fell in love with you in 1972 and made love the first time to your white album with the orange on front! Layla! Love this!

So that would work like, Beck picking up the phone and calling up Clapton and saying, "Hey ol' Eric there, I think you're looking a bit old and you sounded a bit senile the last time we spoke... I surmise that you must be ready to kick the bucket, but before you do... there's someone on YT going by "dd," commenting on an ARMS concert blog, that wants us to do a world tour with Pagey, so grab your strat, pack a suit case and let's go....???????"
Jimmy with a telecaster.......... Lots of legends on that stage!!
Jimmy Page is the best guitarist ever. Number one.
They turned him down because he was so shit in this. Great guitarist, one of the best, but this performance was crap!
Calling it like it obviously was! Either his guit is out of tune or he's just off key. Shocking!
Anyone notice how good they were with Charlie Watts and Bill Wyman providing the perfect beat to this wonderful tune. That made the collection of these musicians really shine
Sigh!! It's NOT Charlie. It's Kenny Jones.
Clapton is a bluesman. Page is a creator of epic sound, and Jeff Beck is one of the Best Guitarists that has ever lived.
Correction, Jeff Beck IS the greatest guitarist that ever lived!! By the way, check out his new album Loud Hailer. He's still creating.
Amen, brother! Jeff is the "GOAT", and Loud Hailer is a masterpiece! Grammy winner, for sure.
Beck and Clapton were very professional here they looked very unhappy with the way Page was acting he was fucked out of his mind on Smack
Since this was likely an "All-Star" event, with a final onstage Jam for all, I suppose that it's possible that the drummer (who I didn't recognize) was not incredibly familiar with the song (at least not the last part). Although I am a musician and can (if I "scrape" all of the dust off!) remember the particular terms, this one I can't. What I CAN say is the drum part at the end needed the snare to be "double-timed" as opposed to the part he played - snare lick twice as often as he played it. I felt that it made that part drag a bit instead of pushing it, and did not lend itself to some of the dynamic aspects that needed to be there. Also, not knowing why the mix was the way it was, both Beck's and Page's leads were mostly inaudible.
snappy dresser's too
It's kinda funny to watch these three guitarists together. They all grew up in the same place (Hell, Page and Beck were friends from their teenage years), they played similar styles of music, and all started in the same band. Yet they all act completely different on stage. Eric is focused on singing, as well as playing, and is relaxed, Jeff is rigid and almost unmoving aside from his hands and swaying, and Jimmy is an animal, getting his whole body into it. And they'll all amazing.
also I remember reading (this is completely out of the context) that Jimmy Page and Brian May went to the same school
@@antiksankarmajumder2498 What? Really?
@@sofia1845 yep, jimmy page was a few years senior
In every video I've seen of Jimmy Page, he's always "dancing" while playing the guitar, all the way back when he was 13 years old since the "Christian and the Crusaders" band back in 1957,

Jimmy Page playing the slide for Duane Allman part is the most classic. Not to mention Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page & Eric Clapton all together again since the Yardbirds.
Well, the three weren't in the band at the same time. But name me any other 60's band that had 3 guitarists of that caliber in the band at any time. And hell, Page and Beck were in the 'Birds together. Wish I'd been there to see that.
I had always assumed that was Duane playing the slide, but I have since heard that possibly not, that they switched roles for that song. Is that possible?
"Not to mention Jeff Beck,' is not a vild phrase in English
Absolutely brilliant, I wish music was still as good as this, nothing more to say except brilliant
Well thank you kindly, have been listening to music like this since the 60s and with everyone getting together and playing like this just blows the mind xx
@Jimmy Page yes I'm very surprised who are you
my sister died from ms. i saw the show in la for ronnie lane. god bless you guys for all your charitable endeavors
Boy, Bill Wyman is a bundle of emotion, ain't he?
That was always his thing.
@Waterbird4222
Yeh, Mr. No Expression Wyman. His face and demeanor is like he's "Stoned".
Page’s record/legacy speaks for its self... as does Clapton’s and Beck’s
Ray Cooper and Bill Wyman are on stage at the same time. Incredible !
Bill Wyman seems as thrilled as ever.
Rigel7WasAlreadyUsed always with the serious face aga
LMAO
Lmao XD
What do you expect? He's a true Brit.
yep, he's boring to watch
That's one stage full of legends God bless them all
The Greatest Band of all time is right there. The greatest then , now, future! You will never see any thing greater than what is standing on that stage.
3 of the best rock guitarists ever. I had a chance to see all three of them in person in the 60s but not together: Eric with Blindfaith, Jeff with Jeff Beck Group and Page with Zeppelin. RIP Jeff.
Duane was heavely missing here
You saw Blind Faith? I envy you for that
We may never have rockers like this again.
I’m 54 years old & this song is the greatest ever!!! Legends picking!
I’ve always loved the way clapton fingers his Barre A chords where he gives everyone the middle finger. So classic.
Rest in peace Jeff Beck...
Eric Clapton was 100% totally clean of drugs and booze during the entire ARMS tour. The ARMS tour was Clapton's first major return to the stage after his treatment for alcoholism at Hazelton in 1980 during the "Another Ticket" tour. However, during the sessions for his next studio album that followed the ARMS tour, "Behind The Sun" (which he recorded with Phil Collins), he relapsed and ended up fathering a child with the studio manager out of wedlock. But during this tour, he was clean as can be folks. Read his autobiography. He is not one to B.S. people. Jimmy on the other hand.....see my previous post.
I was front and centre for this after queuing all night for tickets next to a guy who could`nt stop breaking wind, but it was so worth it. They almost had to almost carry Ronnie Lane onto the stage and he sang " Goodnight Irene". There was`nt a dry eye in the house. Thanks for bringing back the memories
Speechless
Taco power!
Clapton, Beck and Page should reunite again.
Is it still possible?
ô¿ô, yes, just like ABBA did last year. ua-cam.com/video/suq2HW4wdUA/v-deo.html
Add Depp.
@@blueatlantic2823 Agreed. He'll make an excellent roadie.
A plethora of musical gods, yet Clapton still stands out!
"God Bless You All".. You don't hear that much any more do ya...... Incredible epic jam. Thank you....
My brother and soul music they can't even stop long enough to listen to the beauty that's happening
That is an EXCELLENT POINT, urankjj... God bless you. I mean it. I hope all of these guys make it to Heaven. I have my doubts about Jimmy Page. I hope he is out of that occult stuff.
Probably the best all-star jam of all time ... certainly 3 of the greatest guitarists ever! Then add the piano, drums and back-up vocals .... amazing!
Fantastic iconic rock legends playing Eric Clapton's classic Layla and and Eric Clapton too rip to the late great Jeff Beck Charlie watts it seems like they all where have having a great time up the irons!! Maiden.manic🎼✨✨🌟🤘🎶🎶🇬🇧
The three most influential guitar legends to this day.
At least some of the most influential guitar legends
Ever heard of a bloke called ‘Hendrix’?
Man he's good but he's not here with us anymore
When Page played a Yardbirds song to Beck he was blown away. When Clapton left Page was offered the job, he turned it down and recommended Beck. He joined Beck later playing bass but he switch to 2nd lead and then took over for Beck. Page claims Beck is the best and Clapton has always been in awe of the sounds Jeff gets from his guitar.
@Ash Winder you're pathetic if you think all page was good at is copying other guitarists..... kinda sad to even think that someone has even said that
Ash Winder please explain how page is a one hit wonder?
Ash Winder that's not a one-hit wonder dipshit
Ash Winder yeah. if not for the rocking with the greatest rock band of all time,pagecwould be nothing. I guess Lennon was shit without the Beatles too. lol. what the fuck you talking about?
Ash Winder you're a fucking moron
How many stars on one stage unbelievable! 👍❤️🎸😎🏴🇬🇧
Well as of Nov.2020 all three are still alive & Still playing quite nicely thank you very much
you forget Bill he's still alive.
Two phenomenal nights in December of 83. Both nights were just incredible. But it really was SO hard watching Jimmy. He was a wreck at this point, and understandably so. Bonzos loss crushed all of us, him especially, and he was so deep into the Smack he could barely function. Still tho, two nights I'll never forget. ✌️
What a crew on this stage! All in unison to a single purpose: to have fun with Eric's masterpiece.
...Page was off his face.
No, actually it was to help Ronnie Lane with his medical bills. He was terminal with MS. By the time I saw him at Irvine Meadows he had to play guitar seated, he was so ill. 💔
That's a stage of pure Rock n Roll
I literally got goosebumps all over when they switched to the 2nd half with the piano! I was 11 when I first heard it and called up the DJ and they said it was called Layla! Damn all the current newbies can’t hold a candle to all the greats and legends that sprang up in the 60’s and 70’s. ♥️♥️🩷🔥🔥♥️🍷🍷🍷
excellent song - writers- singer- musicians-well done-Trinity bless everyone with good safe healthy days=R.I.P. Jeff & everyone who passed away
Why is no-one mentioning. Paul rogers on backing vocals and joe cocker on tambourine
you just did! very worthy gents indeed.
Yes they are great! Everyone just loves Jimmy Page so much...me too 😋
because they don't know talent
And Bill Wyman on guitar
You gotta give yourself a little moe credit. I don’t regard you as a “no-one”. 🙂
4:01 Vladimir Putin rockin' the tambourine!
fuckin right brah....must of been some espionage during his days in the kgb
After reading Hillary's emails, old Vlad rocks out with Eric Clapton.
lol dude this is so funny
lmfao!!!
LMAO--AWESOME comment!
R.I.P Jeff Beck.
I would your guitar play if you lived today. I feel sadness.
It really is a stage full of legends as others have written… but so true. ❤
Beautiful !! Takes me back to Beautiful times in our life!!
the guitar riff references those intense times- still rings out for peace. love, freedom...
was at this perf 10 December 1983 Ronnie Laine Appeal for MS,got in for free,best concert ever attended,near the stage,Charlie Watts,Ron Wood,Bill Wyman,Joe Cocker,this ended the show
What an all star line up of musicians!
I'm 66 seen and heard em all
Over and over....never gets old
I fell in love with the Putin lookalike playing the gongs and tambourine. He made my whole life existence complete.
FOR A NON MUSICIAN?, U R RIGHT ON. I MISSED "PUTNIN'S SHOW @ 1ST, THEN REALLY GOT INTO HIM. (SOMETIMES,WHEN FEELING REALLY BAD, I TOO "ATTACK" MY CURRENT INSTRUMENT(SOMETIMES GREAT(IMO),SOMETIMES SLOPPY(DEPENDS WHICH PARTS R HURTIN' WORST..MY POINT. I IDENTIFY W/"PAGE'S "DILEMA>ADDICTED/MOURNING CAN TAKE YRS.. I KNOW THIS TOO WELL> (LIVE LONG & PROSPER)
Creedence Cadena it made Putin loveable ...
The "Putin lookalike" I believe you are referring to is the great Ray Cooper, a world renowned percussionist, not a notorious world leader. He has long had an association with Clapton live tours. His performance is stellar on Clapton's MTV Unplugged.
That's Ray Cooper, the best! Couldn't take my eyes off him during the show.
Saw the two man show with him and Elton John in DC in the 80's
Always the recognized masters of the British rock and blues scene of the 60's, with never a word given to the one British guitarist from Robin Hood country (Nottingham) that in my opinion could play circles around the three of them.........the late, great Alvin Lee! Truly, the "Rodney Dangerfield" of great British guitarist because he never received anywhere near the level of respect he deserved for his ability on a guitar from critics or from his contemporaries from that era either.
Was lucky enough to see Alvin Lee live (twice) when he toured with 'Ten Years Later'. Still had all the moves. And sounded just like the record.
Stunning at Woodstock, and his US tours that followed. I then saw him in the 90’s and he had changed his style, slowed down and appeared to be in an experimental phase. Didn’t work for me, obviously very talented and proficient guitarist but possibly why he didn’t get the fame and recognition,
With all the difficulties any of them had, you still can't be in awe of the best!!! So many memories with all of them!!! Rock On!!!
So much incredible talent in one place. That was just amazing.
Talk about a Supergroup (wow?!!) playing one of the BEST songs ever! Fantastic...Thank you!
Great song !! Eric sings clear lyrics in this version. And hey, they even have cowbell at 1:30 !!
3 bad ass icon guitarist 🎸 on one stage,sounding absolutely phenomenal and they are true legends and they will go down in history for their contributions to the music 🎶 🎵 world 🌎 🎉🎉
Wow what an amazing mix of musicians on that stage!
3 of the best guitar player's on the Planet ❤ WOW!!**
3 of the greatest players in music history. You don t hear songs like this anymore. steve m.
Eric - Jeff - Jimmy. A classic, they did it well together.
I have no words, I m in heaven. Bill Wyman too. Oh Lore I’m done.
I was at this show in LA back in the early 80's. It was a benefit show put on by Ronnie Lane for the people of Kampuchea (now Cambodia) it was amazing to see all of these legends preform on the same stage.
I was at the L.A. show too.
Need another big NYC concert the day COVID-19 is gone for good. I’ll even donate to make it happen. One last one while we still have these guys with us.
Agreed!! I will donate too!!
Jimmy P.....still a wild man on stage....right back to his Zep daze....Layyylaàhh!!!😎🇺🇲🇬🇧👍
Rudy Ho, ua-cam.com/video/suq2HW4wdUA/v-deo.html
Seeing Jimmy with a Tele is something magical.... I love it!
Think they should try this again now while they still can
to late
Why?
Because some of them are not alive anymore, at least Joe Cocker is dead, Eric is 71, Jeff is 72, Bill Wyman is 79, Jimmy is also 72 and the one that bangs the tambourine like a maniac is Ray Cooper, 74. Today these guys would look like an Old Age Home residents on steroids and on millions. Don't forget this concert was in 1983, that's 33 yrs. ago!
+Purrete I was at the San Francisco show was dubbed Ronnie Lanes Appeal For A.R.M.S Benefit Concert an unforgettable night! I was firing up the best tree during the show was crazy Jimmy Page playing Stairway on his double neck🤘
don't know man, Eric and Jeff are still great! Although jimmy hasn't been active a lot, but he still knows how to play. seeing Ray's energie i believe he would even be able to rock it when he'd be pushing up daisies. wyman and cocker (rip) I agree with though!
F@@@ me the Best British guitarists ever just jamming with each other and having a hoot of a time
I love how Jimmy Page is just going crazy in the background
😀
He was going thru heroin addiction and might as well have been on another stage. And I am a big Page fan.
@@davidcudlip6587 he was definietly under the effects of heroin during this show. It's still funny that everyone is normally playing the guitar, and then there's Page...
...and then there's Bill Wyman: 'why am i on this earth?' 2:01 6:50
@@bradford_shaun_murray Could be he was already tired of the rock and roll lifestyle. Kudos to him for stepping down when it was no longer fun for him.
These guys are Aliens musicians! Hi from Argentina to the best rocking players!
I love how Bill and Charlie always have a 'meh' look on their faces while delivering performances!!
They always did. I guess it was part of their "coolness". There are a few early videos where I have seen Charlie smile, but not Bill. He was as dull as dull could be.
This is an all for all, I'm really miss you, Jeff
Wow! Doesn't get any better than this! A powerhouse of masters! RIP Jeff Beck. Fell in love with you in 1972 and made love the first time to your white album with the orange on front! Layla! Love this!
Clapton did an amazing job on the theme from the movie 'Communion" it's gorgeous!
