This performance and EC from 92 to 98 is the proof that he is the greatest blues guitarist and vocalist of his generation. The most revered, imitated and influential player of his generation. He has set the bar so high, very few if any will ever come close.
@@gilldanier4129 ok you can study the guitar, bu that is like just a snippet of it.Can you go on numerous 10 minute rants on the guitar over and over for decades? lol
Ol Clapper is on point here, when he’s in the zone, there’s no one can play the blues better. This version compared to his version back in 1978 is worlds better. I saw the 94 tour and it was breathtaking. Long live EC🎸
It's not better than '78....first of all...he was playing slide on it.....I'm a die hard Clapton fan....my favorite Clapton is 1970 -83..studio and tours...hands down....despised the commercial sellout makeover of his image and sound in the mid 80's at the hands of top 40 MTV schlock meister Phil Collins.....I make exceptions for From the Cradle and live blues jams like this.....unless I hear a single note of that cheesy trashy garbage 80's synthesizer sound....God awful.....ruined his live shows...this is an awesome post....throwback for sure.....
that part at 1:43 where he digs really hard into those notes still gets me good, I've honestly never heard another guitarist pull that off the way he did
Nobody can play like peak Clapton. Nobody. His phrasing is untouched. He gets trashed by the guitar community for “selling out”. Fine. He likes money. But it doesn’t take anything away from the god given talent.
I was there. It was all little tables. I took a fold up chair from the back and put it between the two tables right at the front. Stage was quite low. It was all fire from go. A blurry of flurries. I've seen EC a bunch but this was something else.
Nice! Do you know if there's any footage from this concert??? I still can't get over that part at 1:43 where Clapton goes super intense with his Strat for a bit there. You'll know when you hear it.
@Ryan Mozert better than Jimi....?????....E.C. wouldn't say that.....I'm not going to argue about it because I love both....although I prefer Eric 1970- 83 studio and live......with the exception being blues jams like this.....he definitely outlived Hendrix.....have you ever thought of what it would have been like if Jimi had lived....????..think about it....he died in 1970.....and was only 27 years old.....
This entire show at Irving Plaza (28/Nov) demonstrated some of his best playing ever. Period. The whole 90s were his best. So much outstanding material to choose from.
Agreed. Tail end of the early 90s in New York City, live. Clapton and some blues songs with an electric guitar. Amped up and plenty of mojo! Not many guitarists can pull of what he did that night and his early/mid 90s run in general.
Sounds like he really had something to prove right here. All is solos are amazing but there’s a certain intensity here.. He soars to the heights of Have You Heard or 5 Long Years etc here.
ive listened to so much live clapton, and other genres of artists and such.i dont think ive seen anybody even close to as many epic performances hes had.Hes undoubtably the goat imo.This is 30 years after he started getting serious like from the roosters.Then this.He never stopped improving his craft, example, his voice
He also has this thing he does sometimes when he quickly plucks the strings quickly with his fingers. Being a guitarist myself for almost 20 years, that's difficult to do like how he does it. Take for instance the phrase he plays from 2:02-2:04 in his video titled "Eric Clapton - Groaning the Blues (Official Live Video - Nothing but the Blues)". You can also hear examples in the intro of the acoustic Key to the Highway on the One More Care One More Rider live album@@oullahtakanbghikhbibadialiawil
Love it when he plays like this! I always believe Clapton has reached his peak during this period. This clip is great as a testament to the legend of the man. Thanks for posting.
I was lucky enough to be at 2 Legends (Chicago) dates, all 3 New Orleans (HoB) gigs and all 3 Irving Plaza shows, with some great friends-a few of whom are no longer with us. He was right at the the top of his game...here and Europe April 1995 imo....check them out. Hard to be bettered. I really miss those days but thank goodness people were there, capturing the moment.
Great man. He was something else during those years. Did you take any pictures of him during those shows? I'd like to see at least one photo from the show from this video (Nov 28, 1994)
heh it doesn't matter how many times you hear how great clapton is, or how prepared you think you are for what you're about to hear, Clapton at his best will blow your mind every time. Never fails to amaze when he's on this kind of form.
This is the best I’ve ever heard him , and his voice is rich ,..and the harp player so sweet ..we are so lucky to have tube and the people who put this tsufv
I've been around a while, and always say my favorites are EC, SRV, and Carlos. But the main man is EC. I saw almost every tour that included the mid-west from 1974 to 2000. Thanks, Eric, for every bit of it.
Great sound! You can hear those gold lace sensor pickups on that strat come through. This era in my opinion was when Clapton hit his prime and sounded his best
Wow that's magical! When Eric's on form he can really cook! You can tell he's really inspired here on this performance. Thanks for the share. One for the favourites!
totally! 70s Clapton is totally beautiful in his playing, 80s Clapton is way different new synth-rock style (which I also love) and nineties Clapton was his peak in my opinion. I get why people can't get over cream, there was a strange rhythmic thing to Erics playing in the late sixties that did go away but in my eyes he just moved past it all.
@@JessePesto best Clapton is 1970-83..live and studio.....he wailed in the 70's.....E.C.was Here....expanded on Crossroads 2 Live in the 70's....Derek and the Dominoes Live at the Fillmore.....Just One Night......wailage....80's synthesizer makeover with those hideous haircuts and dressed up in a suit like a half assed Robert Palmer....trash....thanks Phil Collins...to think E.C.left the Yardbirds on the verge of commercial success to avoid being a pop star.......90's with From the Cradle and live blues jams like this....throwback...definitely a step in the right direction...
@@JessePesto Yeah...definitely....for all intents and purposes it's really Clapton solo.....I mean....yes...he leaned towards songs and songwriting but he still wailed on blues..( and rockers ) especially live.....the 2 disc compilation Eric Clapton Blues released in 1999 is from 1970 - the early 80's....it's phenomenal....
Man oh Man.. This sounds like a smallish club performance and the whole song is just so spectacular.Eric's singing is just as strong as his playing, He seems so relaxed. I know I hug my pillow and its not like this.
This show was, IMO, his finest ever live performance. I never tire of listening to Club Full Of Blues. Black Cat Bone is a fave. Cheers for the upload.
Been a fan since I was 13 years old - but this is what it's all about one of the best clips on the you tube ps I am now 46 EC a master craftsman at his art
Hope you guys like this one, already over 100 views :D The part from 1:42-1:47 where Clapton spazzes out is one of the greatest things I've heard any guitarist play.
Many thanks for uploading this - EC at his absolute best! One thing though, please don't use the word "spazzes". 'Spaz' is a shortened version of 'spastic', an outdated and pejorative word to describe people with a disability - in particular, people living with muscle movement disorder such as cerebral palsy. I am sure that you would never use the N-word in a UA-cam comment; the spaz-word is similarly hurtful and derogatory to disabled people.
That is sweet! I was just looking up early in the morning as it popped into my head, then there was this!!! Excellent listing Drew! I had not heard this version. Thank-You for sharing this!
as Eric appreciated Larry at harp no questions left for me, what a bunch of blues celebrating guys, love the sax and the rhythm group as well, they all do their job together as amazing as Muddy Waters couldn't do this better decades ago! Love Blues, Mr. Slowhand and the other guys and Mr. McKinley Morganfield and the other hundreds or thousands too, from Mississippi delta right to Windy City... Not to forget the Albino, Johnny Winters, one of the greatest at all!
ERIC STUDIED THE OLD ORIGINAL BLUES SINGERS FROM MISSISSIPPI AND THROUGHOUT THE SOUTH. EVEN THE OLD PARCHMEN BLUES SINGERS WAY BACK THE DAYS. HOWLING WOLF IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES BLUESMEN..
No wonder you hear people in the crowd getting off, this was in a club setting- "The third of three shows at New York’s Irving Plaza and the final night of EC’s US Club Tour". What's interesting in the setlist is the song before this was Before You Accuse Me, pretty much the first song where the crowd got to hear Eric really let loose and show what he's got with the electric soloing, so I think that's why you hear the crowd in the beginning of this hyped up
I'm going to be uploading a live performance of 'Sweet Sixteen' Clapton did. He's only played it a couple times live as far as I know. And I couldn't find it on youtube, either.. although someone had it up 3 or 4 years ago when I first heard it
So glad you posted this. Clapton certainly sounds awesome. He was really playing well and in great form at this point in time. I remember seeing him on SNL around this time and he played a version of "Five Long Years" that featured a fantastic guitar solo that made the audience burst out in applause. I've always hoped that somebody would upload that video.
Eric Clapton would practice every note, and known to play two notes all day. A true to form stylist, and the only non Beatle to play guitar on a Beatles record.
Eric passed through Michigan on the Nothing But the Blues Tour, and I had to choose between his show and BB King's lineup with Jimmie Vaughan and Elvin Bishop. I thoroughly enjoyed BB and company, but part of me still wishes I could have a do over. Eric Clapton and the Blues are like catnip to me, and he really was on fire in the '90's. I've been to three of his concerts between 1998 and 2006. Never left disappointed.
I would have only been 4 in '94! So seeing him in the 90s was really out of the question, but if I had been 10 or 15 years older that would've been one of the coolest concerts to see, all that intense guitar playing by Clapton
I remember when I was first picking up a guitar that there was this guitar player that left the biggest band in England because they weren't "bluesy" enough. I had to check him out. Bluesbreakers, Cream, Blind Faith, Derek & the Dominoes, MTV Unplugged and on and on.
From the Cradle and this tour were such a welcome relief from his hideous commercial makeover and sellout in the mid 80's.....thank s for posting this awesome performance...
The part that would really get me is at 1:44. I don't remember any other popular guitarist playing like that let alone pulling off that "digging hard" into the notes like that
this is blues at its highest and finest. no one can ring the guitar like Eric Clapton, he is unique. greetings from morocco
Awsome music love it
Is for that we love" the slow hand "

Clapton shows off how well he absorbed Chicago Blues, and I mean that in a good way,
Not only is his playing nothing short of spectacular, but his vocals are flippin' awesome as well !!
Top voice
He has one of the most well developed matured male voices I've ever heard.
Ohh Guys, I can't get enough of this version. Fucking inspired day!
Nobody talks about how wonderfully he sings here...
Let’s talk about it shall we?
@@dzn7976 he screams and shouts without getting out of tune
@@pabloperez4063 one of the best voices, matured and sounds great either singing light (falsetto?) and when he "groans" it
Exactly!!! It's so darn difficult to growl like that and still stay in tune. @@pabloperez4063
Clapton is such a unique player that you know its him when you hear just one or two notes. Nobody sounds like Mr. Eric Clapton.
in that way, he is unique. I would say only 1 note. And consider there are millions of Stratos in the world...
Led ZeppelinFan heavy on the MR.
Clapton thé best one
Clapton is a Guitar King no one plays Guitar like him, a man like him come's once in a lifetime.. Superb Guitarist.....
