I shot the sheriff solo: When one of the greatest blues guitar player don´t wanto to stop playing one of his favorite solo!
its unbelievable lol.Hes on his own planet lol
35:40 By the way. Four minutes of a priceless solo!
From George Terry to Derek Trucks... I love how Eric shares the stage with the youngsters.
Well, I think George Terry is really amazing!
Eric Clapton is one of my biggest idols, i grew up listening his albums and his performances and i’m just 25 years old, reading all those comments of people who really had the chance to see him live in his prime is amazing you don’t know how lucky you guys were to see this legend live in his finest era. Thinking seriously on take a trip to California to finally see him live cause i don’t think he will comeback to Mexico; by the way this is my favorite Eric’s performance.
Same here brother! I'm getting tickets as well! I'm from Qro tu??
@@hiterss omg yaaaasssss, i just can’t believe it I just made this comment a couple of weeks ago and then… surprise! EC in Mexico, all my life waiting for this moment i’m so excited, I’m looking forward to get my tickets to see him too, greetings from Guadalajara!
@@sittininmytree nos la pasaremos de huevos!
@@hiterss no lo dudo, veremos al maestro hacer hablar esa Stratocaster por primera vez en nuestras vidas!

Badge and Cant find my way Home and Knockin are the best songs. The rest are mediocre.

GRACIAS AMIGO POR TU GENTILEZA
Marci and Yvonne are spectacular! What voices he worked with!
Such beautiful harmonica playing from Marci, great tone, restraint and a sensitive addition to Yvonnes soulful vocals
Gosh dang i jus scrolled thru some incredibly full o shiite comments...Clapton and band put down a very...very,good show on this night. Appreciate it,thanks
That I Shot The Sheriff solo is unreal! Also George Terry is seriously underrated as a guitarist.
Every 20 years or so, Clapton pulls out a blazing live rendition of Sheriff, it seems. I heard one from around 2010, that sounded like EC in his prime - amazing intensity. Just wish I could find it again.
Honestly, dude is holding this show together! Playing tons of the parts that Clapton would usually do (not that Clapton isn't playing at about the highest level I've ever seen a full-on drunk play, and I mean that in a good way)... I guess it's all about propping up his rather soused boss. Some really tasty playing; what a band all around, really.
We have a first in the history of YT comments: The correct usage of the term "underrated"!!😁😁
@@djavidianmx1832that is indeed quite noteworthy. I tend to be a touch of a Grammar Nazi myself.
Clapton covering bob marley seems like sheer hypocrisy after his rant in Birmingham in 1976
George Terry was from Miami, Fla. Producer Tom Dowd hooked him up with Clapton. Dowd ran Criteria Studios in Miami which was owned by Atlantic Records. Atlantic also leased 461 South Ocean Blvd. for those artists in residence at Criteria. 461 was in Golden Beach, north Miami Beach.The whole Clapton, Elliman, Terry thing came out of Tom Dowd, Criteria and Miami Beach.
God i love Yvonne!
So do I! Migrated to Emm Gryner later on. Sad f**k.
@wandajames143 yeah, I think I would have enjoyed doing that back in the day.This British music TV show was about 3 years after the release of 461 So. Ocean Blvd.
Me too
Yvonne Elliman
Yvonne Elliman from the Musical * Jesus Christ Superman *?
@@bennyflu6926 'Jesus Christ Superstar'
@@TheHumbuckerboy of course, sorry
@@bennyflu6926 No problem
She's sooo hot & talented I could die. 😍
Clapton has more than earned my respect, as a musician who’s devoted himself with sincerity to a succession of authentic American musical forms, including Delta and Chicago blues, Chuck Berry-style rock and roll, country, and JJ Cale-style rockabilly.
He didn’t get stuck in a rut, or become a parody of himself. And he wisely went back to acoustic blues as an older man, when he perhaps had less intensity, but more character to draw on.
He went first the most profitable market, the USA
@@boba2783maybe a tad harsh: never struck me as someone after the money: he genuinely loved the Blues I feel
@@boba2783 "He went first the most profitable market, the USA".
Always there is one EC hater in the UA-cam comments; and here you are.
Brilliant then. Legendary now. What a band ❤.
What an amazing band… so full of talent.. I loved this era of ECs career and the people he played with
I completely agree!
Yo be 21 again. 1977 ws a very good year to be alive. After, 461 Ocean Blvd years were extra laid back ones not unlike Greg Allmans album which along with these years I wore out on the turntable and on my home recorderd cassettes in my VW bug with surf racks scouring the point breaks and beach breaks of Santa Barbara County.
Thank you for this lovely offering from England and country and people I dearly remember and love. P& L.
Make England Great Again in 2024.
Your culture is amazing.
I'll never be 21 again, but I got to hear him do this live just last year. It's crazy to think that this was filmed 47 years ago, because he sounds every bit as good today as he did then. Maybe, if I'm being honest, a little bit better. Drying out has been very good for him. I think being this good was very hard for him to deal with as a younger person. He seems to have aged into it nicely.
Maybe you got to see him play the Long Beach Arena summer of 1974 when 461 was a hit. My cousin and I drove down from Ventura to see him. Best summer of my life. From Malibu to Rincon. Surfs up!!!
I wouldn't trade growing up in the 70's for all the iPhones in the world! 🎸 🇨🇦
461 Ocean Blvrd and There's One in Every Crowd are two of his finest albums.
@@geraldbrown2875 As the world grows darker history will dictate we truly lived through the best of times.
Eric Clapton is so versatile.
Wow, I remember these times well, I'm old and tired now but this helps me get comfortable
The same to me!
No argument here on what an incredible guitarist EC is !!
Oh thank you Eric Clapton for so many years of your music.
One of the best bands he had - amazing background singers.
I agree!
Another iconic singer from the 70s, he always had two hot female singers with him
that Tell The Truth version is smokin
EC’s father was a 🇨🇦 soldier. I’m originally from Alberta & Eric's half brother used to live in Raincouver.
This video, so far, (Alberta), foreshadowing the ‘78 performance I saw…Eric laying back, generously giving Terry the guitar spotlight. It’s really sad knowing bassist, Carl Radle, would die only a few years later, in 1980.
Too bad The Core’s not included on this one, a personal favourite from the Slowhand album.
Half brother was a good guy? The drinking was still there?
@@NoOne-kr4jc
He was/is a street person with addiction challenges.

@@loilt5091Interesting.
Yeah you confused me because I thought you meant Eric Clapton's father's half brother.
この頃のエリックが一番好き。
ありがとう！
Eric Clapton has forgotten more about his craft than most will ever know!!!! I love him!!!
?
George Terry was a fine fit for this very talented guitarist
Looks like a young Gary Moore
Clapton has always toured with great guitarists in his band. He’s not afraid to share the spotlight. Besides many of his songs require two guitarists to make them sound just right.
@@barrym2112 Gary Moore frequently expressed a strong desire to work with Eric but he is one notable guitarist who Clapton seemingly blanked.
In 2006 or 2007 I saw Clapton perform and he had Derek Trucks in his band!
@@unknownkingdomI also saw Eric in 2006. There were actually 3 guitarists in that band. Eric, Derek Trucks and Doyle Bramhall.
Love Eric's voice here. Like the soft leather of some comfy, well-worn shoes.
Man Yvonne killing it..her voice is something special..Then you got Eric " Slow Hand" Clapton as always doin his magic
Playing lead guitar for Eric Clapton.......no pressure! 😂
So much talent on show here including Yvonne Elliman and Marcy Levy (for those not already aware) who had a #1 hit single 15 years later as part of Shakespears Sister..
That was awesome!
This is when he was using and promoting "Music Man" amplifiers.
George Terry is even on a Stratocaster style Music Man guitar. But it has Humbuckers instead of single coil as in Fenders.
Sounds good. 👍
Thank you for putting this on UA-cam.
what a performance and underrated vocals of Eric . Just gorgeous on Hello Old Friend and Sign Language . And a salute to Yvonne , Terry and the band !! Vintage
生きる伝説。永遠のギターヒーロー。いつまでも元気でいてほしい。
Eric was in a wet period here but it’s still absolutely brilliant! He, like so many others were in their prime under the influence. Yvonne also brilliant, of course! And that band!
Classic Clapton and sexy Yvonne!
The evil Oliman-period. And, yes, she's brillant.
@@charleneknight4064 Yvonne Elliman. She is the singer here and performed with him in the seventies, when he often was drunk on stage. And in this show he couldnt speak her name right.
he lookes jazzed lol.I think the only thing i've seen where it super evident with how is eyes are.Its not to say something negative, in fact, that's hi all messed up?? haha well that's why i thin hes the best all time in my opion humbly.Blessings and stay safe!
@@johopeweisz yet he plays like a god, untouchable imo

george terry so good でした
What a gem this is!
Clapton was massive part of British blues breakout .
He is an absolute legend.
Guy can play any genre up there with any lead guitarist u can name
Thats why i think he is the best ive seen (what you said)..So many genres and so many different bands also but its all top tier whatever he does.He is the complete package.
Love this band, Carl Radle, George Terry, Mainline Florida!
George Terry, monster player
Total AWESOME.
Drummer Andy Oldacker just died maybe 2-3 years ago. And as I'm sure everyone knows, the bassist is the late Carl Radle, who met EC playing with Whitlock and Gordon in Delaney and Bonnie. The four formed Derek and the Dominos, and Radle stayed with EC after the Dominos.
You mean Jamie Oldaker.
@@JJDooleindeed I do, sir. Thank you.
I remember sheperds bush😊❤❤❤❤❤
George Terry kills it
These songs were best he ever created. Some of them are not heard often or that popular
Simply a magnificent show
Great player
I grew up listening to him and his contemporaries. Just got round to reading his autobiography. A good read particularly for us older musos who can relate to much of the references.
Masterful Blues singer!! Double trouble.Blows my mind when ppl say he cant sing
Who cares what “people / they say.
いつ聴いても いつ観ても クラプトンさんは素晴らしい！ いつも最高です🌟🌟
Here I am! Love this wonderful concert!
Now that was tasty. Refreshed my mind about hearing this the first time on The OGWT.
Tell the truth on that song even when he's struggling he just knocks me out he's great he was something special
1st time for me listening to this one.Cant wait.
You are going to love it!!
My personal guitar hero ❤
The female backing vocalists on I Shot The Sherriff just sound sooooooo good. Perfection!
It doesn't get any better Bob dylan Eric Clapton writing together and recording with The Band as the sound engineer /back up band. Really a monumental moment in music history. What was produced is called "No reason to cry" circa 1976.
I believe i see Yvonne elleman on back up vocal
@NigelHyphenJones wow thanks for the information Yvonne ellman once got busted for
Smuggling a gram meth
Onto guam U.S.A. 20 10

Those were the great old days! 🤙✨️✌️✨️
sign language, knocking on heavens door, walk out in the rain, if i don´t be there by morning. Clapton´s Dylan period.
73 year old nam vet, had front row seat palace of auburn hills wearing yellow tshirt with "eric your music saved my life and soul" 15:17 🎉 When he came back out for last songs he seen it gave me a nod.
Nice Mike.
Very cool and a nod is as good as a pat on the back or a handshake from E.C.
Cheers
Thanks for your tour(s) brother. 🇺🇸
Mr. Eric "Clapton is God" Patrick Clapton 🎸 ⚡️ 🔥
Marcy Levy!!!!!!!
Well . He wrote many great songs. For me easy on guitar But if all he did was write that would be plenty of talent already. Just happens he plays really good and sings well also. Someone I would love to meet along with Paul Rodgers. Paul Rodgers. Jimmy Page
I was 18yrs.old...when this song came out. I ❤this album...I had it on 8-track. I use to bring it with me whenever I went surfing in south Florida in my light blue 1968 surfer vw bug.😊
I remember how Eric seemed to have lost his way and lost his fire at this time, and how disappointing it was that he never really progressed in his guitar playing after the 60s, but this is actually a great show. He’s singing well, his voice sounds great - Alberta is a terrific vocal performance. And the band sounds great. Guitar playing is not god-like, but it’s on the money. A pretty great performance, overall.
I think Eric was over the god thing which was thrust on him
I was lucky enough to see him in Macon Coliseum, he had broken his foot and he performed great sitting on a stool the whole night,a sad note,after the concert we heard that Lynyrd Skynyrd plane had crash on the radio,great concert but sad ending for the night,thank you EC for all the great music over all these years
Id have to say this is one of my fav shows ever from him even though its not a ton of him on electric.But he still kills it when he does on some tunes.Whos been fooling you is off the charts, then i shot the sheriff, wow!
I saw Clapton three times:
1. As second guitarist for Dire Straits at Wembley Stadium on June 11 1988 - he was astounding, as was the band.\
2. Again at Wembley Stadium in 1992 on a double bill with Elton John - he was again astounding, he did a two-hour set, as did Elton. Great night.
3. A third and final time at Earls Court in London in 1998 with Bonnie Raitt as the support. He was nothing less than brilliant.
What you have to know is that Clapton could fart out the phone book and it would be marvellous. I don't rate the first two songs but in his hands they still sound much better than they deserve. Clapton's second guitarist here, George Terry, takes the solos for the first few numbers and really shows the gap in class between himself and Clapton. When Eric grabs his Strat here and right from the start plays it with ease, it's just wonderful. Thank God he's still with us and still playing. Eighty next year, I can't believe it. x
Beautifully sung/ Pięknie zaśpiewane.
Best One on Guitar!
I used to have this on VHS. Almost wore it out I played it so much. This is a great performance of this period of his. Smoother than butter. Smoother than the brandy he's necking backstage that's for sure!
El Magistral Eric en acción !!
Siempre es un gustazo escucharlo.
Love u always EC there with u m8.
I really loved this band and was anxiously awaiting the return of Eric back in 1974 and other than Eric's drinking problems, there were many great shows form Eric and this band. Got to see them quite often from '74 to '77 and was kind of sad when the band started to change after '77. In any event, love this video along with Carl, Jamie, Dick, Yvonne, Marcy, George & Sergio.
Como é bom te ouvir desse jeito ainda meio adolescente de carreira. Alguma insegurança de palco, mas muito Eric. Genial. Gênio
Beautiful Yvonne ellman
Another huge fan of EC !!! Saw him in the early 80's in Basel , wonderful concert ❤❤🇨🇭
Brilliant guitar😊❤❤❤❤❤❤
Fantastic so good
1977 el mejor Eric Clapton
Abe Union pride what a show so happy we can still hear what a powerful performer he was and still is named my son Derek who is know a lawyer his own firm Bernstein law out of St Pete fld
EC, So talented, Touch so many people, their spirits, a gift from God. I bet his Strat sleeps good after a concert. Lol. Peace.
Eric's demons would have killed you or me. He was and is human, not "God". Kudos and much respect and gratitude to Eric for surviving and thriving and sharing his muse and giving us great Joy.
Please, read, Eric Claptons', "biography" !!!
Awesome !!!
Great to see this, thanks. I saw him at the Glasgow Apollo on this 1977 tour, supported by Ronnie Lane's Slim Chance. Eric was a bit worse for wear that night. He messed up the spirally bit in the middle of Badge. Stopped...started again and got it note perfect. Great night!
That's really kind that he would bring along Ronnie Lane like that. Musicians have a close world.
Mz you ! E..C. was here in Manila..
That version of Badge is amazing!
Good morning❤❤❤❤
I personally think this period was Clapton's best. This solo is my favourite in this show 53:59. A great album from this period is "EC Was Here". All live with some great blues tracks.
Perfect! ❤❤❤
best program on the box and Eric unique talented WOW
Can't believe there's only 3 comments (Including mine). Music lovers where are you?
Great concert! Gosh, I wish I was young enough to enjoy it! (28)
I'm here.....a huge fan of EC !!

Obrigado por terem publicado❤😂
Sau Cool.
Great Band.
Yvonne Elliman and George Terry really shine in this performance. Not sure how EC manages to stand up he’s so drunk. Some great songs in the 70’s
Maybe something called " coke"
he is not drunk
playing well
Years of practice!! 🙂
Thank you dude for this, best version I've seen and heard. Cheers 🇬🇧
You missed Yvonne Elliman singing the Blind Faith tune "Can't Find My Way Back Home" after Tell the Truth.
I can't find my way home
