I love how Clapton smiles so smugly during the initial tease knowing fully well how the place is going to fucking erupt when he plays the riff....what a legend
Love u
Not allowed to curse anymore BUT I totally f*****g agree with you!!!!!!

Santana never was to close to this guy?
@@nancydemoss608 How old are you? 12?
and it comes as a surprise to the bassist
It’s 2024. I just turned 80🙃 this has been my favorite for decades. Used to run to it, now I walk with Clapton in my ear buds. 👍
Life can be so beautiful.. I hope one day i can be in the same situation. Im young and i have so many problems and so much to work on, not only right now. i hope you will be able to do this the next 80 years and more !

Demais!!!
He suffered a lot I know what it's like to lose your child you guys stay together ✌️🙏 BLESS YOU FRIEND STAY WELL AND HEALTHY ENJOY LIFE RESPECT 💐💖
Yeah, clapton is like when your science teacher is the greatest guitarist still breathing 😉
I do Eric and I still sound underehersed tks for everything you have played it still
Gets me going++
The way I play anymore, maybe it should be. Arthritis is a thief. I was the only one who liked my guitar playing so it matters only to me, lol.
One of the greatest songs of all time. I was in the service when Layla came out. What memories I have of that time. I'm 72 now ... and miss the good old days. 🇱🇷
Thank you for your service Sir👈🏻majority of Americans deeply appreciate all that you n others have sacrificed for the USA ppls❤
Liberian flag?
Could be....but my eyes aren't what they used to be after 72 years.
Cool that you're able to view this performance from 25 years ago and have been a fan from that period too.
Frank, I was 3 years old in 1970, when Layla came out. I remember kneeling by my bed every night & asking God to protect the policemen & soldiers in my own country (Ireland) & the American soldiers fighting the war in Vietnam. The following year, aged four, I was blown sky-high, on a sunny, Saturday afternoon by a bomb, "proudly" owned by the I.R.A. I'm told blood poured from every orifice &, when my mother told an EMT to take another, more severely-injured innocent bystander, in the ambulance (there were always too many casualties & those, lesser-wounded, were thrown into the back of cars...). The EMT said, as he grabbed me out of her arms, "Madam, your daughter goes in the ambulance or she will die". Shortly after our wedding, my husband was asked to work in the U.S.A. We had an, "open door" policy, most who became "family" were service men & women. It was nothing for us to have 18, for dinner, on a week-night (we improvised 🙂). Those men & women were homesick, at very least, heartsick at worst. We gave them what we had: home-cooked meals, LONG calls home to their families (without a line waiting behind them), barbeques & volley-ball on the beach & as many laughs as they could handle. Others were happier lying on the grass, under our trees just trying to forget....we often cried together as we remembered those we'd loved & lost. We lost many more in the conflicts which followed. Letters & continued contact with their families are precious. Some expectant service women stayed with us as their "due date" approached &, also afterwards, until they were well enough to travel home. We chose to leave & I have family who still can't answer their doors without their service weapons to hand. Our "war" may seem to be over but the threat is still great (even if you're retired). I was saddened to find out that a LOT of money for weapons & Semtex came from U.S. idealists who thought they were supporting freedom-fighters, instead of cowards who called it "war" but never donned a uniform (you'd know how terrifying it is when you can't seperate the enemy from the innocent). "Thankyou for your service", doesn't seem enough. We must never forget that we all have to live on this planet & that peace & innocence are too precious to ever give up - without good reason.
Only artist to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame three times. As a member of the Yardbirds, Cream and as a solo artist. Definitely one of the most versatile and top guitarist of all time.
I believe Sir Eric Clapton is the best living guitarist 🎸 in the world 🌎

As much as I love him, hall of fame means nothing when some of the greatest players/bands aren’t in it while female/gangster rappers who don’t even know what rock is are in it, it’s just a diversity and inclusion farce
Love how excited to bass player looked when he played the intro. Like he'd been asking if they could play 'Layla' before the show and Eric kept saying no then surprised him at the last minute.

Clapton fan since childhood. My uncle wad a renowned musician in his own right and a huge Clapton fan. Started my love affair early with Layla and Forever Man. Still my top favorites. Never tired of the way that barely suppressed growl grabs me. Rock on, Eric
Eric plays so natural, just a spectacular version.
😮😂😂😂❤ Clapton is the best
absolute legend that guy
The bassist's excitement gets me everytime. Session musicians are notoriously underpaid, and he's just buzzing to tear into it. Love it!
The bassist is Nathan East! He has done well for himself! God bless him!
ua-cam.com/video/2aETKPuzGYQ/v-deo.html The top session musicians make a great living. Nathan is one of the most recorded bassists of all time.
He's brilliant xxx
That’s no “session musician” he’s played with damn everyone in the business. One of the best in the business.
@@TheAmbageHouse Irrelevant. Session musician means someone who's only a part of a select few shows with a band.
I love the bassist's reaction when he starts playing the riff! He's just like "Here we go!"
Jeez i see you everywhere
Haha its weird you would say that on this video. But yep I'm everywhere
+Andres Castillo Nathan East, he's been playing with eric since ever, i love his expression too, it's like he's been expecting this reaction, so when eric is playing just before the song, feels like an internal joke

+Andres Castillo More like "Oh shit i wasn't expecting that" hahahaha
There is not a better version of this! Two solos, bending where it is difficult to bend, and making it look so smooth and easy. Plus, Nathan East, Steve Gadd, Andy Fairweather Low; *PLUS* *Tom Carmon on keys and David Sanborn on Sax!* WOW! WOW! WOW! 💥💥💥

It's been said before but the bassist reaction @ 0:44 cracks me up..i love seeing musicians enjoy what they do..the joy it brings.

...... that riff is an absolute masterpiece
Priceless ❤️😍
The last half of the song.. fantastic
It was written by Duane Allman
I can play it :)
that riff is why i fell in love with this song as a kid. it was my introduction to loving rock music.
You can imagine how cool Clapton must have felt when he played that riff at the start
He is cool
Did you see Steve Harvey behind him perk up?
Originally, Duane Alman played lead on Layla. But when Eric asked Duane to join his band, Duane turned him down. Then the motorcycle accident happened....
Lemme pan it out for you:
Clapton: **creates riff**
Also Clapton: *:0*
Can you imagine how surprised Nathan East was? I'm sure Clapton knew what he was doing. Cheers
The more I listen the more I love this song! I remember first watching this when it had 30+ million views, let's get it over 1 Billion!
just those first chords... is all it takes. Music doesn't exist like this anymore. These are the true rock legends
There's no mistaking those first chords of Layla. Few songs are instantly recognizable within the first 10-20 seconds. Some include 'Another One Bites The Dust', 'Eye of the Tiger', 'I Will Survive', 'Do Ya Think I'm Sexy', 'Hot Stuff', 'Stayin' Alive', 'Billie Jean', 'Rocky' theme, Beethoven's 5th. Like them or not, you sure know them....!
@@layladurrant6876 This is the 1975 original; I much prefer it over Clapton's 'geriatric' (slow) version which is what you hear on the radio these days.....
Music like this does exist now. Just not on the radio. There's infinitely better guitarists and songwriters now than ever - just have to know how to find them.
@@jbrashguitarist Why should I have to know "how to find them"? Artists of Clapton's caliber should not be so damn hard to discover.
@@writerforlifeify The issue is the music industry controls what's on the radio etc. Real artists can't break through like they used to, because labels are making money with all the Lil So and Sos and blonde pop princesses like Taylor Swift. The power in the industry has changed from the artist to the labels, and they only promote what sells to 13 year olds.

One of my favorite concert memories was Eric Clapton at Red Rocks. Everyone but he had walked off stage and he was standing at the center stage mic. He took out a pack of Marlboros and lit a cigarette. He stood there for a moment, looked out over the venue and said "Pretty nice place you got here." He tucked the cigarette under the strings of his guitar and began "Layla". I still get goosebumps thinking about it.
Another badass move from the great Eric Clapton! 😎👏🤘
You said *one* of your best concert memories. You must have been to some great concerts then :) I wonder which tops Eric..
+Elle Damev : Clapton was one of the best but I put Jimmy Page and Robert Plant's "No Quarter" at the top of the list closely followed by the "Wish You Were Here" show by Pink Floyd.

The best version of the song. Clapton tore his own original solo a new one.

I think he is just thanking the crowd.
Clapton is a legend, but he looks like a mild mannered math teacher.
I adore him
He is so in tune with his emotions. He’s very passionate about his art and I think it genuinely shows in his music. My favorite story about Eric Clapton is his involvement with George Harrison’s wife, Patti. Instead of them both getting crazy and creating a huge petty feud like any other popular artists would’ve, they both talk it out and come to terms with it. George even being close enough to bring them flowers for their garden and even playing at their wedding. Eric Clapton is just raw and real, and isn’t scared to admit to things most people shrivel up to, and the people he surrounded himself with like George Harrison, Billy Preston, etc are all just like that. Down to earth and are happy to even have the chance to express themselves in an extremely creative and raw way.
0:40 God, I love how stoked that bassist gets when he hears that opening riff.
Yes I love the bassist and of course Erics amazing guitar playing. His creativity always amazes me Jagjeet Kaur

Agree completely !!!
Eric has never compromised his music or himself. He never wears costumes or jumps around on stage. He doesn't have to. He just wants to play for us. A true musical genius.
Screaming racist comments on stage while drunk off his ass doesn't count as compromising himself? Don't get me wrong, I love his music. But he has compromised himself more than a time or two.

@@RhiannonFancomparing covid measures to slavery and repeatedly saying good stuff about a really right wing politician doesnt count?
@@RhiannonFan No, Clapton hasn't apologized for his racist rant. Not sincerely, anyway. Read anything he's ever said about the incident. He has always downplayed it and acted as if it wasn't that big of a deal.
Also, little known fact: Clapton was racist toward Jimi Hendrix. He called Hendrix a "spade" in an interview with the Rolling Stone, a slur used in England at the time to describe black people.
Finally, Clapton has admitted to forcibly sleeping with his wife. He's evil in the truest sense of the word.
This song is way better than my last relationship.
It was pretty good then
Henrique Kim don't shout please
Probably lasts longer too !!! Chuckle Chuckle!!!
Hahahhah
Same with me buddy
That clapton sound...never forget coming back from Germany into Pearson back in '76 listing to this on the earphones.
His guitar solo at around 7 min mark is simply lovely.
That piano outro is one of the greatest things ever created
Who wrote that part?
@@loganplays6455 Jim Gordon I’m pretty sure

@Robin Hammill I love how Eric looks over to him, nods his head as if to say _"ok, do your stuff."_
I've heard it a thousand times, I've never been bored. If I listen to it for the rest of my life, I won't be bored. :)
Me to
