      I believe there are only about a dozen copies of "people."
      That means you're correct. IMO a minimum of 20% of people dig Clapton/this song. The rest require more time.

      Funny story years ago I was picking up my daughter Kennedy at the daycare. One of the ladies asked me if I like Eric Clapton’s music and I answered yes, then asked her how she knew. She said the babies were about to go to sleep and the song Layla came on . My daughter jumped up and said ‘ that’s daddy’s song by Eric Slow Hand ‘..lol. She was like 27 months old and I was so proud.

  • @josephl447

    That keyboard solo really encapsulates the feeling of a broken love. The panging, raw and confused emotions of a relationship gone too soon. Mixed and odd, unfamiliar before building into a brilliant and defiant flame, angered even that one had not seen old love as an opportunity to move on. I'm 22 but wish I'd found this golden music earlier

    Glad to see people in the comments section complimenting Clapton's vocals. I have always said this to my friends and musician peers for several years - Eric is a very underrated singer. He is no Paul Rodgers or Freddie Mercury, but he sings like he means his lyrics, and he rarely sings out of tune live.

    The first 6 minutes of this video is perhaps the finest example of heart tugging guitar coupled with a vocal track that is gut wrenching. It lays bare the hurt and mixed feelings that a love gone wrong can do to a person. You can't go back and fix things. All you can do is try to continue to make one day after another...I think this may be the best playing and singing i've ever heard...

He and Clapton are the best. I miss SRV these guys kind of fill that gap for me. I feel like Mayer is the only modern player that gets blues playing like Clapton and SRV did. His renditions of classic Hendrix songs are so awesome. Mayer and Clapton are the best.

      Definitely one of the best songs ever written, IMO. I loved learning it from the unplugged performance; every other version is equally beautiful. We wrote another verse to extend the tune after the first solo - nothing detracting just substituted “I can see your face” for “I can hear your voice”. The song was always over too soon for us (me, lol) otherwise. Mr. C, we play a lot of your songs (I insist when they make me - the drummer - sing). We often play the ending of the original Layla to end the night (we’re just a three piece and do it with just keys, bass and drums). You should come to the Dusk til Dawn Blues Festival at the Oklahoma Blues Hall of Fame in Rentiesville, OK. You’d love it - lots of great blues players and bands from all over the country and the world. Labor Day weekend.

    I’m 59, I’ve been listening to him since his Cream Days. I lost the love of my life. My wife 6 years ago. The words of this song for me. Express what I’ve gone through, and my utter frustration. His voice the tight tight band. And when is the last time you saw a man getting a standing ovation in the middle of his solo. Then Tim Common just kills that electric piano.

    "Old Love"
    I can feel your body
    When I'm lying in bed
    There's too much confusion
    Going around through my head
    And it makes me so angry
    To know that the flame still burns
    Why can't I get over?
    When will I ever learn?
    [Chorus:]
    Old love, leave me alone
    Old love, go on home
    I can see your face
    But I know that it's not real
    It's just an illusion
    Caused by how I used to feel
    And it makes me so angry
    To know that the flame will always burn
    I'll never get over
    I know now that I'll never learn

      "Every drummer wants to play like Gadd because he plays perfect.... He has brought orchestral and compositional thinking to the drum kit while at the same time having a great imagination and a great ability to swing." - Chick Corea

    • @peterdixon7907
      @peterdixon7907 7 років тому +3

      agreed. I have heard on good authority Eric just sends the music to Steve and he simply rocks up and blows Eric away, every time. he's up there with the best, along with the likes of Jeff Porcaro - both of which are session players for Steely Dan. It doesn't take a magician to realise why. Gadd remains my favourite though, there is just something special about him.

    • @Timliu92
      @Timliu92 6 років тому +3
