what views are talking about..Keep your stupid shit to yourself. the man lost a child while on tour to entertain you the only views you have are from your ass
I grewup listening to Mr.Clapton… around 14yrsold.. lm 67 now & still love his blues& his amazing vocals & guitarist… This is truly 1 l would have had been been knocked out. I Love Eric Clapton & appreciate his influence on my life.
Eric Clapton was given to us, period. To a generation that will understand music and the absolute talent required to take you to the stars and back. It's June 2020 and are you with me on this ??
And, he is self-taught. A remarkable talent. There are only a handful of musicians that can turn me inside out on certain arrangements they play of familiar songs. This is, of course, one. It has been said to play at this level a musician must have the "fire in the belly." The following have surpassed that level...to a raging inferno, in my opinion: Eric Clapton, Alvin Lee, Prince, Mike Campbell, Carlos Santana, Derek Trucks (although considerably younger, immensely talented), Joe Walsh, Tim Carmen (keyboardist for Clapton), Denmont Tench. There are no doubt more, but these all immediately come to mind.
Too many have already been called Home. I.cant even count the number of times Ive seen him since the late 70s, but when He calls Eric Home, that day will crush a big piece of my heart.
I appreciate the stationary camera position (and good quality) so I can watch EC actually playing the instrument as the sounds come out of it. Just awesome!!!
Thank you Eric Clapton for using your gift so well, and we all got to enjoy your music all these years…. I’ve grown up listening to your music, thank you again. xo
I've been coming back to this performance for 8 years and each time I feel the flame of this sweet sounds as strong as I felt the first time. Purely amazing and probably best version of the song. Thanks for sharing!
There is another one out there that Collins goes much farther out there. You’ll know it’s the right one cause E.C. will be making that stank face and talking to his other side men very early in the keyboard solo. Magical.
@@spare7400 I'm a total "Fender guy" and love Eric on a Strat but man dude when he pulls out his 335 it brings an absolute animal out in him. My wife got me 11th row tix to see him next month and if he brings along his 335 for a song or 2 I will lose my absolute mind. LOL! I really doubt he will though. He seems to be all Fender these days.
Oh yes I'm agree with that. I'm as giutar player myself it's most joy that way. And he as my self perform best in front of a crowd. Best regards Eric 🙏
I've seen him maybe 6 times, including first time, 6 July 1974. He mentions that show in his auto-biography. Patty Boyd Harrison joined him finally at this show. He had too much alcohol, I was right up front, roughly in the first 10 people into Rich Stadium in Buffalo. He fell down, and could not finish show. I was 10th person in to Rich Stadium Buffalo. Considered his worst show ever. Every other time was great! I always wondered how he could play Sunshine of your Love and other hit songs so many times and still sound great. Love him, major influence on me.
I lisened to some youtube music tonight and came across this older live performance of Eric Clapton.... One of the best solo guitar performances I've ever heard. He is really a God in his own way. It touches your inner feelings, and you hear he is performing like a genuine virtuoso, a Master of guitar like no other.
I'm of the opinion that Eric does far better in front of an audience in a live setting than he does in even the best of studio settings... every live song I've heard from him has far more passion, flair, feel, mood, fun, voice, and damn near everything else, than even the best studio albums I've sampled on premium Bose systems and even custom high end systems. I love his live stuff. I wish this man would live forever and be able to forever perform these live shows for people.
Dios te escuche y el nunca mura, y yo tenga la oportunidad de escucharlo en vivo, algo que veo casi imposible. y estoy totalmente de acuerdo es mejor en vivo que el estudio.
I fell in love with Eric's music and Steve Winwood's music too, when I first heard him sing & play on the Blind Faith album I was 12 or 13 years old, we were sooo young he and Steve were really young too
Eric was in North Carolina back in the 1980's and I did not go, big mistake!! A master!!!!! GOD given talent!!! EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So good.....
This is why Eric Clapton is a great guitarist..same sounds he did in his younger years. In the beginning of his playing of this song it made me want to pick up my guitar and play~ Oh Yeah!
It s so heartbreakting beautiful. Of course a song written by Clapton and Cray :-) and I notice that the audiance is sooooo quiete while the song goes on. This is Clapton at his best.
I've listened to Eric Clapton since the late 60's. At first he didn't Impress me as a singer and guitarst. After listening to live albums it blew me away. He is definitely one of the best.
Yes, yes, yes. EC is a guitar genius, he might even be a guitar god, but his singing! His voice has gotten better and more soulful as the years have passed. In an old interview he sad something about his soloing basically being him singing with the guitar. Some of it must have gone both ways, because I can't decide which is best: his voice or his playing. 😁
Absolutely loving these comments about the Maestro that is the Great Eric Clapton! When Eric does not look at what he is playing plus looses himself in a zone that is completely his own.. is what I love so much about him.. he feels his way through his playing .. it’s extraordinary as I have not seen this from anyone but Eric! Every time Eric plays is a Miracle of Mastery for myself .. I admit that I cry the moment he walks on stage .. due to his stage presence plus control constantly! I cannot even remember how many times I have seen him play all over the world .. however there is no possibility of being disappointed ever ! That beauty of a guitar is my favourite colour too! His hair is beautiful long! Eric you have it plus so much more! I often wonder if you realise how phenomenal you are? There is no genre that you cannot play! Gd Bless you 4 Eva 🙏❤️🙏
OMG When I hear this....... when I feel this..... I know I am 50 plus and this reaches my ole soul....and connects right away.....makes me .....ooohhhh man think back to my younger days. Classic Music Baby Grown Folk Music
Magnificent. A friend just commented on one of my music videos, complimenting me on my guitar playing. I told him, "I'm very aware of how inadequate my playing is, especially when I meet or hear what I call, 'real guitarists'. But I'm finally getting good enough to be able to really enjoy it and express myself, and to fool most people into thinking that I know what I'm doing." Clapton is fooling no-one - he's a God.
Ive been listening to Claptons genius since the late 60s thanks to my parents, going to see him since the late 70s, and its STILL boggles.my mind how he does what he does. He truly is a Pure Channel. The.man lets his entire Soul sing thru that guitar. Truly amazing ✌
One of his best songs. On the dvd "24 Nights", he does a version of this song that stops me in my tracks EVERY time I watch/hear it. His solos on that live version are AMAZING. The whole dvd is him at his best.
You're right I get that feeling too when I watch it I have the DVD and I saw him the year of his Tears in Heaven tour at the Shoreline Amphitheatre and I was sitting in the seats but move far away but it was electric it was Electric what a treasure 2 two guitars and guitar players all over the world glad he made it through the fire
Absolutely...Live performances are where the rubber meats the road and EC is definitely in the class where his live performances can become mutually inspiring.
I flew to London and saw him at the Royal Albert Hall this past May 2019. He is just as great as ever! It was the absolute event of my life! I am still paying for that trip and it was worth every penny!! Would do it again in a heartbeat. I tried my best to get to Las Vegas to see him this month but couldn't pull it off! There is not now, nor will there ever be anyone as talented, and heartfelt of his performances as Mr. Clapton! I thank him for still performing for us, and hope he continues to for as long as possible! Thank you again Mr. Clapton!!!!
I got no more words to describe the beauty of mister Clapton music. Most wonderful assolos never heard at my life. Thank Eric for existing at this planet. Love you. This Old Love never been so actually.
eric clapton is always going to perform these songs to the very highest quality nothing less is expected and he delivers to the very highest quality all the time without failure.simply mind blowing and the greatest guitar player
Thanks for capturing and presenting this for those not fortunate enough to have been there. Wonderful job, a beautiful version of one of my all time favorite Clapton pieces. Nice job.
2024 and I don’t care about his views, I will always love Eric Clapton.
what views are talking about..Keep your stupid shit to yourself. the man lost a child while on tour to entertain you the only views you have are from your ass
For 50 years this man has been putting great music into my life. It is a debt I can never repay. Thankyou Eric.
.
How about it man! perfectly said, he's been a lifeline in my life, literally.What a Blessing, Blessings to all!

Clapton is God period ! It's 2024 and still admiring him.. im 28 yrs old
Possibly the best version of Clapton playing "Old Love" that I've heard!
Eric Clapton was given to us, period. To a generation that will understand music and the absolute talent required to take you to the stars and back. It's June 2020 and are you with me on this ??
Absolutely!
Clapton has been my favourite musician since I was 7 years old. I'm now 34 and nothing has changed. He's the greatest guitarist there's ever been imo.
I'm right with you.
Racist
Thanks but I don’t want a racist given to me
If you can’t feel this you’re dead! This is the very best playing from Eric! I love this song it’s so powerful!
Michael Belardo !!!+++!!!
Watch his 6/30/99 performance of this. You may change your mind on which is the best version
@@catheline51 hyde park also was great verison

This solo is perfection itself. Nobody knows the art of building a solo like Clapton. Simply amazing!!
When the day comes and that sweet guitar is silenced the world will never be the same.
Absolutely! You expressed it perfectly!!!
Man I was just thinking the same thing with the passing of Neil Peart. As can be once a day dude I mean that shit grew up with him
@@romankeszycki4203 said he had o
I was just thinking this. No one could play with such soul.
Too many have already been called Home. I.cant even count the number of times Ive seen him since the late 70s, but when He calls Eric Home, that day will crush a big piece of my heart.
The mozart of blues!
I got chills and thrills. Touch my soul Eric Clapton
Omg I could listen over and over and over. Mesmerizing.
I appreciate the stationary camera position (and good quality) so I can watch EC actually playing the instrument as the sounds come out of it. Just awesome!!!
Thank you Eric Clapton for using your gift so well, and we all got to enjoy your music all these years…. I’ve grown up listening to your music, thank you again. xo
That tone just soothes my broken heart. Everyone who heart has been broken can connect with Eric's love songs.
the magic of blues, brother
8x
Dont forget Robert Cray this is really his baby .
🎸💔
@@russelledwardsedwards144 So it is Robert Cray that actually wrote this song?
Eric Clapton, for ever ! 💯💞
I love watching people like Eric play, you can see the emotion as they play and it lets you feel the music even more
I've been coming back to this performance for 8 years and each time I feel the flame of this sweet sounds as strong as I felt the first time. Purely amazing and probably best version of the song. Thanks for sharing!

The live version in Hyde Park is also awesome. Search it on UA-cam.
Thank you so much for all the years and years of beautiful music Mr. Sir Clapton!
Never get tired of that old love..... EC
An amazing solo. He look like he's almost in a trance state. I don't think I've ever seen Eric so into a groove like this.
I have never seen him react to a song like this before either notice his left leg as well as his head . Magical
This is the real sound of pain!!! I love him!!
Beautiful. The sound of a Strat is priceless.
That’s a Daphne Blue Eric Clapton custom, don’t come much better than that!
@@spare7400 I'm a total "Fender guy" and love Eric on a Strat but man dude when he pulls out his 335 it brings an absolute animal out in him.

My hero. Not just because of his music though - because his kid fell out of a window and he didn't go back on the booze and drugs. Respect.
What makes Clapton so amazing is that he always re arranges his songs so you never hear him play them the same way. Simply awesome.
Oh yes I'm agree with that. I'm as giutar player myself it's most joy that way. And he as my self perform best in front of a crowd. Best regards Eric 🙏
He does that like no other musician!
I agree...
It's as much for him as it is us .We can all imagine what it must be like to play the same songs over and over and over again.
@@smyffmawzz Good reflexion!
You never lost it , Eric......Thanks for all the chills......Love from Ireland
What a fantastic capture! I swear it feels more intimate than an 8-camera shoot with a huge budget and a talented director. Breathtaking!
I was lucky enough to be at this concert. I remember the four songs in the same key comment. I didn't mind.
Had some of the best times ever with EC. Genuine, humble honest, compassionate man. Love this guy. Thanks for the fun.
I've seen him maybe 6 times, including first time, 6 July 1974. He mentions that show in his auto-biography. Patty Boyd Harrison joined him finally at this show.

6:50 onward is probably the purest tone you could ever hope for playing a Strat. Absolutely BRILLIANT. Definitely my favorite version of this song.

He always sends shivers up and down my spine,loved him for 50 yearsthe backbone of the music of my life. Thanks Ric !
Always the same émotion! Merci Eric!
Saw Eric Clapton live in Swaziland back in the Apartheid days. Was mesmerized. We were missing so much here in South Africa.
Just discovered Clapton. Freaking wow. Just added see Clapton perform to my bucket list.
Might wanna' hurry up with that as he might stop touring very soon due to his gradually increasing hearing loss.
@@PotatoSmashGamer Nothing coming up but I'm on his mailing list.
@@xandermohan6331 I'm in The States so sadly no.

THe best guitarist on the planet !!!! I LOVE ERIC ✌️💋💕🌹❌🎼😟😎😁👍😘❌🤗💋💋💋

In my opinion he sounds awesome in either setting. But one of the best artists live he feels the music in his heart and soul.
Dios te escuche y el nunca mura, y yo tenga la oportunidad de escucharlo en vivo, algo que veo casi imposible. y estoy totalmente de acuerdo es mejor en vivo que el estudio.
Je t'enmerdes toi et ton audience Facebook est là la communauté
Then you need to listen to Clapton / Duane allman sessions...blow your mind material
Eric Clapton was THE person because of whom I started listening to western music. He is just amazingly mindblowing.
I fell in love with Eric's music and Steve Winwood's music too, when I first heard him sing & play on the Blind Faith album I was 12 or 13 years old, we were sooo young he and Steve were really young too
Well he certainly does play it well that the great man like the man said 6 passion is live concerts thank you so much
No surprise to see more superlative music from Clapton, but the keyboardist had a really nice solo as well. Great stuff.
He is a generous performer who is willing to step into the shadows during another’s solo.
Who will replace you Eric, you are unique, we love you
He doesn’t need to be replaced, UA-cam will see us out
LEGENDARY!!!
I believe any true and aspiring guitarist should watch and listen. This is a true master, and genius. Period.
If his former addictions hurt his playing I can't tell. Classic!
he got even better
Amazing gentleman in so many ways, beeing thru so many things in life. Love his life ;-) performances. Outstanding man and musician.
A special, special man, loved and respected, by musicians, and fans. all over the world.
Clapton takes his time. Its conversational. He expresses the full range of emotions in a song like this!
This is simply breathtaking. He is a guitar genius
His heart and soul streaming out from his guitar...simple heavenly sound.
And God said, "Let there be light," and there was Eric Clapton... 🙏🏻
Eric was in North Carolina back in the 1980's and I did not go, big mistake!! A master!!!!! GOD given talent!!! EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So good.....
GOAT. Simple as! The love of Clapton's music will never grow old.
That guitar is talking, crying,pouring out emotion.Best playing i ever heard.Thanks Eric & thanks for posting.
Best Old Love live ever
Eric Clapton od like good wino . Older means better . His voice , guitar and style just unfogetable . Keep going Eric .
Seems like he just gets better and better. I've never heard licks like this from anyone. Thanks
EC forever! He was my hero from day one in the old Yardbirds days and forward. Nobody will ever beat him in my opinion and heart.
This is why Eric Clapton is a great guitarist..same sounds he did in his younger years.
In the beginning of his playing of this song it made me want to pick up my guitar and play~ Oh Yeah!
That guitar ... That fucking guitar ... someone please
Todd Krause Masterbuilt Eric Clapton Stratocaster In Daphne Blue
+Isaac Bishara that guitar, that man...

absolutely AMAZING!! In Claptons hands it becomes an orchestra,,simply fkg amazing!!!!
Eric Clapton and George Harrison together: sheer magic and pure love!
It s so heartbreakting beautiful. Of course a song written by Clapton and Cray :-) and I notice that the audiance is sooooo quiete while the song goes on. This is Clapton at his best.
Sweaty palms, and teary eyes from this boy starting at 6:34 good lord Mr. Clapton thank you so much
I love this song so much ! It has been writen and played just to share the EC's feeling ! Beautiful !
I love Clapton forever.
My favorite guitarist since the 60's
So awesome, feel every note 🎵❤️☮️🌹
I've listened to Eric Clapton since the late 60's. At first he didn't
Impress me as a singer and guitarst. After listening to live albums it blew me away. He is definitely one of the best.
amazing blues play...i love it
Totally Clapton!!! His stage but he always steps aside and lets the others shine! He does that every time on stage, Mr. Clapton is ALL class!!!!
still amazing in 2020
One of the finest solos Iv 'e ever herd!
You got it in one!
His guitar solos put me at ease. What a great artist he is!
feel good ..
His guitar solos are truly from his soul.....and they ease mine!
Not once in 52 years I have been Listening to the MASTER ERIC CLAPTON EVER MAKE A MISTAKE IN LIVE CONCERTS 🎶🎶🎶🎸
Close up recording, directly from his guitar amp!
So simply and clean :-)
Such an important artist for me.

Just enjoying this beautiful song!
This guy is Master there will Never be another one like him!!!
Priceless, beautiful musician. God bless you and keep you. What a glorious evocation of emotion this song is!
The best version of Eric Clapton IMHO
Had to watch it again,its so brilliant..a lesson in blues with passion.
Good lord the chills the ending just gave me!
Ive been listening to Claptons genius since the late 60s thanks to my parents, going to see him since the late 70s, and its STILL boggles.my mind how he does what he does. He truly is a Pure Channel. The.man lets his entire Soul sing thru that guitar. Truly amazing ✌
The best guitar player.
One of his best songs. On the dvd "24 Nights", he does a version of this song that stops me in my tracks EVERY time I watch/hear it. His solos on that live version are AMAZING. The whole dvd is him at his best.
My personal favorite is the Hyde Park one, in not counting the MTV Unplugged.
I agree - for me it's one of his go to tracks, that and I shot the sheriff 😎
You're right I get that feeling too when I watch it I have the DVD and I saw him the year of his Tears in Heaven tour at the Shoreline Amphitheatre and I was sitting in the seats but move far away but it was electric it was Electric what a treasure 2 two guitars and guitar players all over the world glad he made it through the fire
I'm kind of embarrasses me to say , but he had me bawling like a baby most of it because it hit me in a very personal way
My favorite is "One more car, one more rider" is a perfect concert!!! with Billy Preston in "have you ever loved a woman" flabbergasted!!!
Absolutely...Live performances are where the rubber meats the road and EC is definitely in the class where his live performances can become mutually inspiring.
Very Simply the Best in history
eric clapton gets wiser with age, but he remains humble. respect the greatest guitarist ever!
Old Love about Pattie Boyd the woman he will never forget.. Old love we all have one.
I flew to London and saw him at the Royal Albert Hall this past May 2019. He is just as great as ever! It was the absolute event of my life! I am still paying for that trip and it was worth every penny!! Would do it again in a heartbeat. I tried my best to get to Las Vegas to see him this month but couldn't pull it off!

I did the exact same thing, I flew to Vienna this past June 2019, And it was such an amazing experience.
I got no more words to describe the beauty of mister Clapton music. Most wonderful assolos never heard at my life. Thank Eric for existing at this planet. Love you. This Old Love never been so actually.
Tears into my soul. Lights my nerve endings on fire.
Amazing version of a beautifull song. Clapton is (still) God!
He is the only GOD.
Wouldn't go that far, but yes, Clapton is very good :)
Erikk is just a Clapped out racist with a musical talent
Best I ever heard him sound.
eric clapton is always going to perform these songs to the very highest quality nothing less is expected and he delivers to the very highest quality all the time without failure.simply mind blowing and the greatest guitar player
You are so right. his guitar and mind body and soul are intertwined as a whole that he will always amaze his audiences
Who needs anything else but Clapton to get one on high. Thanks Mr Clapton for all those years of incredible music.
Thanks for capturing and presenting this for those not fortunate enough to have been there. Wonderful job, a beautiful version of one of my all time favorite Clapton pieces.
Nice job.
❤yes!
whatta energy and emotion lies in this man, in his music and performance! amazing! bravo!
Love that apology ... that comes from humility and being a good performer.
Oh you just know he's thinking about that old love while he lets loose on that plank. Bravo EC, Bravo!
