Wonderful tribute to his recently departed friend, Richard Manuel. If you don’t know Richard Manuel, look him up. He was known as the Canadian Ray Charles. Brilliant singer. And a member of a truly great band…The Band.
@fgsp8909 There’s a theory, introduced in former Band Manager Joe Forno’s book (he was their Manager at the time of Richard’s suicide, as well as a friend) that Richard’s suicide may have had less to do with his drinking, and the crappy venues they were touring, than his marital problems. Levon Helm’s hotel room was right next to the Manuel’s, and he claimed that he didn’t hear a second person in that room (he heard Richard in there, but apparently not Arlie). He had allegedly told Forno to contact an attorney when Forno went back to Woodstock during that final tour. His book is an excellent read, by the way, with an entire chapter devoted to his suicide. It’s a good book that provides a lot of info about the time between their reforming and the release of Jericho, including the aborted Sony Sessions of 1991, where they collaborated with Jules Shear, who wrote All Through The Night for Cyndy Lauper. There wasn’t much on Billy Preston’s brief membership in The Band in 1990, but it’s a very good read.
Thx Michael This performance is one of Eric's coming back to normal for our joy If you see careful next Eric concerts will wil understand what i am talking about
@@tomvaudrey6068 + some drugs but he got recovered and working so far .That was 35-36 y ago .He is 75 now and going.How we say in my country "The bird /luck/ landing only one time on your shoulder in your life".And Eric got it
Le Musicien est Grand et l'Homme est Grand aussi !!!
Eric, Greg Phillinganes, Nathan East, Phil Collins. My favorite group.
Super nice! :) EC's solos are especially epic here!
Those people were lucky to see Eric Clapton make a mistake. Eric Clapton is the greatest rock and roll star of all time
Old school !!!
It's called REAL. Before all the kids with their auto-garbage began making noise. Clapton remains strong. Love, Smythie

@fgsp8909 Nope. I have a hardcopy book. It’s not expensive compared to prices today, and Joe Forno is a good guy.

Drunk is when you can no longer hold on to the stage. He's still standing...
He's said he was having double vision during this period. He was drunk.

The original lyrics holy mother can’t keep control. 2:15 wish EC kept them.
He wrote the song so this maybe a lyric he wrote first
