Eric Clapton "Tell The Truth" Live Remastered Great!!

- Misskittyvideo/Kitty Terry has remastered both audio and video from original tapes to gift you all this INCREDIBLE performance from the original Eric Clapton band (Erics best boogie band to date!) playing LIVE on the Old Grey Whistle Test in '77. Why I give credit to George Terry for playing background guitar is just me being nice as he deserved so much credit for being the rock behind Eric at the time. Eric was the genius.Sergio on percussion has passed away and along with Karl Radle and Dick Simms, but not before being memorialized in these videos, spending his time on earth wisely. "Tell The Truth" was originally written by Clapton and Whitlock around the George Harrison "All Things Must Pass" sessions (and a version was even recorded!), but wasn't released on a record, and was kept in the can. Eric re-recorded it as a much slower version on "Layla and Assorted Love Songs" with Duane Allman as Derek and the Dominoes.....however, Clapton's American band -, Carl Radle, Jaimie Oldaker, Dick Simms, Yvonne Elliman, Marcy Levy and guest starring Sergio Pastora to boogie this one RIGHT! .
Clapton held the groove, and Yvonne and Marcy are unparalleled on vocals! This is IT! The energy just emanates off the screen as you watch these great musicians groove with one of the worlds most influential guitarists. I can feel it now, Who"s been foolin' who? Open your eyes and take a look at your heart, Wow. I can see it yeah!
I watched out in the audience... this was one of my favorite songs the band was playing, not only in music but in message!!! I hope you will enjoy this as much as I have....
Cut from private unreleased footage I acquired while on tour with the band. No one has this stuff - it's just for you.
Groove on. Tell the truth. . Be true to your heart, it will never let you down like people will.
Love, Kitty
I don't understand why people keep forgetting to mention Bobby Whitlocks contributions during this period, He's a creative genius and deserves so much more respect
Absolutely
He co-wrote all those song on the album and was the other voice on that album..Eric and Bobby singing was perfect...
Who has forgotten? I would surmise more have forgotten about Yvonne Elliman and Marcy Levy.
Not all songs. "I Am Yours" and "Layla" aren't co-wirtten with Bobby.@@Bluharzo
Amen
The Old Grey Whistle Test seemed to bring out the best of nearly every performer that graced their stage. This is vintage Eric Clapton.
he is hammered and still preforms that well.
Very tight performance - the ladies sound fantastic
The chemistry here is magical
Everyone has passed away except for EC...Eric is a good man!!!! I will never forget his kindness and all my memories!!!!
Thank you for posting this gem of a memory! Can I add, not everyone has passed. Bobby Whitlock (k) & Marcy Levy (Marcella Detroit) are still very much here, thank ya Lord! Yes, too many of this calaboration have gone to form Heaven's Band. Most recently Jamie Oldaker on drums left Tulsa. RIP to all of them.
🕊🎵🎶🎵🕊
@@OkieGirlForever Whitlock isn't in the band here.
I love Eric. He is a dedicated...good man
i saw Clapton (for what I believe was the 461 Tour) on July 4th 1974 (Columbus OH and it was indoors at the basketball arena on Ohio State campus me with 1st row seats) and I remember they played Mainline Florida so I saw George didnt I?... also im pretty sure Eric was wearing his Eric Kleptomaniac tshirt)
@@OkieGirlForever Yvonne Elliman is also still alive
Damn Carl radle never stopped getting better as a bassist incredible
Him and jim gordon were magic!
Absolutely Clapton at his finest
Classic boogie-woogie blues. All the musicians/singers here were superb !!
I saw EC with this band in Houston in the 70s.Really great show.
Probably the best incarnation of a Clapton band ever. Such a good sound.
that's crazy. DATD were much better... even Blind Faith
@@randomps2gamer283 Clapton as a soloist. As in a backing band, not a group that he was a part of.
@@BuckMulligan72 Okay, that makes sense haha
I was lucky being in Tulsa for these times. I played in bands with Dick Sims and Jamie Oldaker. A long time ago. I’m not sure about George Terry and Yvonne but Marcie is still with us
Thank you for this killer gem. George was definitely a secret weapon.
Ive watched this 672446 times, so good
And Carl Radle tearing it up on that bass, my my .
YES!!
Some of the coolest shit I’ve ever seen. Love you Clapton!
Drunk out of his mind too and still awesome
❤
I saw this group on a couple of different shows. EC should get more credit for putting the talent together and writing the music. I want to say this was after the 461 Ocean Blvd album. An underrated effort that got bad reviews. Even though I haven't gotten over the breakup of Cream or Derek and the Dominoes, I remain a staunch fan of Eric Clapton. The critics have been given way too much airplay. Not all guitar players end up playing metal.
Thanks a million for this! The Domino's were my favorite band of all time. Close enough. To see Carl playing was thrilling for me. Eric is in great form and "Blackie" sounds great. I saw these guys live in 1976 and they killed it. Thanks!
It doesn't happen very othen that a group of musicians are as together as this band. Vocals could not be any tighter. Perfect a perfect song.
Love the intensive facial expressions on the Percussion Players face
Thanks, Kitty. Meow! Evonne and Marcy add a lot of great backing vocals.
Meowwwww!!!
Crossroads 07 in Chicago, Clapton laid the crowd to waste with this! Doyle and Derek were totally in a groove, basically pushing Eric to pull out all the stops! As he should ❤
Gives me goosebumps 😊. So
Lucky I grew up in the late 60's
And ,70's. Nothing after that era captured the raw enthusiasm and energy of the
Emerging thing we call rock and roll.
I appreciate the chemistry and sharing in this live performance
Omg this is epic!!!! Thanks to whoever posted this performance. What a band!
I had the great pleasure of seeing this lineup in 1978 and still smile when I hear it.
"A new dawn is breaking I can see it!" Sincere, vital, electrifying and absolutely overwhelming!
Great performances all around here! Kitty i really appreciated your write-up, nicely done! And yes George is excellent - love the slide playing, really lifts the song up.
I was 11 in 1977. I always liked Eric Clapton even before I knew who Eric Clapton was. Now that I am old and have wisdom, I like him even more.
Eric is a good man!!!! Was always kind to me as I got to travel 4 years all around the world...Thank you
@@MissKittyVideo hello
Yes ..and he is a good guy..wise...asked me to be in the band..the other girl Marcy didn't want it...soon after...band released
@@MissKittyVideo do you still keep in touch any way?
Yes
200,000 views and I was able to sharpen the visual..enjoy some more!!
Prob 500 of those views were mine lol. Love this version. Thanks!
The remastered track is "brilliant". Video is superb
Thank you so much
All of them deserve respect .😊love you eric ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is the best version of this song I’ve heard all of them
Live at the Fillmore I think is better. Clapton still had an intensity. By this period the flame had gone
Then try listening to this version : ua-cam.com/video/Ti3eJOr0fu0/v-deo.html
This is from the jam sessions with Duane Allman in Miami , 1970. No vocals but guitar work is divine :)
MegaDave’s ears obviously don’t work to well anymore
Fillmore much better
All great versons & performances but i'll have to stick with Clapton & Duane on this one.
Good to see Marcy Levy here.
Thanks so much Kitty,George is a brilliant guitar player,i saw him in 1975 in Sydney With Eric's band.I especially liked his playing in the Freddie King sessions too ,that slide was awesome.I think he was Eric's best guitar player for the band, & yes Eric is a genius,& this band really grooved. Cheers from Down Under
@ kerry mcmanus I also saw EC and Band in Melbourne in 1975 at "The Barn" aka Festival Hall. Kept my ticket as a memento too.
Yes I saw that too it was amazing, he had some less than flattering critics of a previous show. But what I saw was truly amazing.
great bass player
The slide guitar is incredible just like everything else in the video. Sound quality is phenomenal. Thanks Miss Kitty for sharing this video!
One of my favorite songs of his! Great video!!!!
Yvonne used to jam at our house MANOA VALLEY
From one who was there. Excellent. George was the glue during this period in my opinion. He kept everything together.
Thank you Patrick...George was the glue but once he left Eric fired everyone and put a band together that no drinking...drugs...smoking all disappeared...we didn't do those things so we kept to ourselves..I love Eric...he was good to me...I just didn't realize the rest of the band was hiding drug use...fooled me..they always played great every night and Eric never hit a bad not...How did he do that??? Love ya Kitty
george terry ...is here....claptons guitarist since 461 Ocean Blvd LP

This is the best
I was fortunate enough to see this Band playing live in Vancouver BC in 1978, I was 17 back then. Amazing concert, Clapton and Terry along with the Band were mágical! Thanks for posting!!!
I was there too...it was so beautiful in Vancouver
Thank you for sharing this iconic version with us! We are so lucky that you were able to take the time to put together this high quality and then spread it around. Anyone who watches and listens will understand how grateful we all should be!!
Wow Kitty my deep thanks this is very special and brilliantly presented
Absolutely fantastic video!
Chills! Thank you thank you thank you. Wow!

@@MissKittyVideo may he live forever
Carl Radle Is a beast on bass

Amazing!
Fondly remembering E.C. and Eyvonne . Oceanside 421 /post . S.F. Colasium 70s !!!!!!!
Thank you!! This is wonderful....💕💕
❤️
Thank you sweetie,...on youtube my site is: Joe 54b...loads of created playlists & others.
...nothing like the Truth, though...Eric is the man.
Just got done reading his aoutobioraphy...for the umpteenth time
Excellent
Thanks Kitty!
I loved all these songs where Clapton wasn't playing a regular I IV V. He is a great blues player, but I love the other stuff so much more.
Excellent vid from a long time ago....
Yep happy I still had photos..will be doing story telling soon!!!! Love Kitty
A long time ago that seems like yesterday....
This is gold. Thanks for the upload!
Clepton rock heavy metal,excenlent, very nice...
George Terry tearin up that slide territory....Damn
This is one of the coolest vids I've seen! Thank you Kitty!!! Eric is brighter than diamonds here and always.
Evonne & Marcy !
Excellent !
Just a side comment "backround guitar" ? my ass, he's techically 2nd guitar which is not taking away from the fact that he's a grade A player, holding hos own and more with EC. No Maam' George is upfront like Duane was in the Dominoes, and that other guy EC played with. You know, the other George, The beatle guy. backround guitar my ass. Thanks for all these Kitty.
Not one weak person in THIS lineup
Great video! Thanks for sharing
yep sir eric
I totally love Eric's playing and I have to admit, I have a crush on the young Eric (1974-1983). Him and his playing is so awesome, LOVE IT. Hehehe
Not sure you can call 1983 Eric ' young Eric' its much closer to middle age as he'd be 38.
Е, луѓе мои, ова беше само за едно големо, големо, големо: WOOOWWW! Секоја чест...... свирка за сите пари. :)
For those of you who don't know, Kitty terry pased away September 30, 2023 in Miami.
geoqe terry? 😢😢
@@julaiarnold641 What about him? He's alive and well and living a mile down the street from me.
@@jimfreyler2944 i just found out that kitty terry was the uploader of this video
Thanks Kitty. great job on nthis and everything you've done . George Terry "recognize"!
Be well!! You are a kind person.,.
@@MissKittyVideo just being honest. Guitarist and slide player greatly influenced by George's playing. You are the kind one for posting these. Bless YOU Kitty.
George terry is one heck of a guitarist and in my opion never received the atention and accolades he deserved. He was a HUGE influence on EC upon EC's return to recordign in what led ot the 461 Ocean Blvd album recorded in North Miami Beach in May 1974. It was George terry who turned EC onto Bob Marley...Great playing by this verion of the EC band, with terrific vocals by Ivon Elliman, MArcy Levy and EC
Yes he was great once but has mental health issues now..so sad but will always love him..he has become mean...not aware of what he is doing..we appreciate the kind words
Marcy was a screamer
@@MissKittyVideo Very sorry to hear of this situation. Somewhere inside there must be soem level of disappointment or resentment via the lack ofup front credit he should have recieved for his work with EC starting with the 461 Ocean Blvd era. I used to see him play around Miami Beach back befor thta and as a young student guitarist, I was always knocked out by his playing. His influence on EC during thta fragile time for EC coming out of his heroin/recluse era can not be underestimated. His playing pushed EC, no question in my mind about that in a way only Duane Allman and Derek Trucks have in EC's career playing along sied a 2nd guitarist.
@@MissKittyVideo what happened to him...? Will he recover?
yes he is the God of rock.
One of his best bands imo
i saw Clapton (for what I believe was the 461 Tour) on July 4th 1974 (Columbus OH and it was indoors at the basketball arena on Ohio State campus me with 1st row seats) and I remember they played Mainline Florida so I saw George didnt I?... also im pretty sure Eric was wearing his Eric Kleptomaniac tshirt
Thanks for this, Miss Kitty (from Gunsmoke?). Great solo! And I love where yur comin' from!
Makes you wonder how much George Terry played on EC's albums; like the great slide on "Next Time You See Her," for example...
George was losing the passion as quick as it came...To be so talented..potential...and not care about all it is....
@@MissKittyVideo Not sure I follow...
@@MissKittyVideo why ...did he give up on guitarra 🎸????
1 of the dumbest things Eric ever did was let Bobby Whitlock walk out of his musical life & his personal life. What a shame. Tell the truth about that Eric. At least he did right by B.W. somewhat in the end.
❤❤❤❤❤😊love you😊❤❤❤😂❤❤❤
god playing again
No weak links in this line up
Old Cream is gone .2 lady's
Step up.🌷
His hand was kinda slow. Ha! 🙃. One of the best take it for a ride soloist guys.
que banda increible quizas la mejor epoca de slowhand en cuanto a lo musical
only thing missing is the Great Jim Gordon
Anybody know what chord EC is hammering out at 6.20 ?
I like the notes almost as much as the video. Those were some lively times.
Ma Kitty è la moglie o la figlia di George terry qualcuno mi dia una risposta grazie
There were a hole lot of great ones back then not just him
We hung out with a lot of them....
@@MissKittyVideo but the nu.1 is...EC
anyone know the name of the the other guitar player
George Terry
I like the other time better
Who is the percussionist?
Hella,backup sangers
I saw George play on one of Stephen Stills solo tours - he and Stephen played all the lead guitar parts. Are you Kitty Woodson?
Who is the other backup singer besides Marci Levi, the one playing tambourine?
Yvonne Elliman
Bobby Keys at 2:42?
Aha, no, that's George Terry
Just want to give a shout out to Super Mario on percussion!
He was always terrific.....he got picked on a lot...me too..as I look back on those days....I think everyone was drunk all the time...not me..I get alcohol poisoning...cigarette smoke turns me green...thank God!!!
Sergio
and he learnd from skydog and helped his idea
Who are the personnel besides Eric?
Karl Radle/ Bass...Janie Oldaker/ Drums...Sergio Pastoras/ Percussion....Dick Simms/ B3 keyboards
Thank you. Who are the backup singers? That is what I'm really interested in
I am familiar with Marcy who is the other backup singer?
