Clapton has a natural ability to flow intuitively with just about any song. Something that I think earns him a place on the all time greatest guitarists list.
Clapton is throwing off the timing most of the time. Instead of laying back on to the 2, he is phrasing off the 1, which is completely the wrong feel for this music. And then he plays thru the the end of the measure and spills into the next. Clumsy, but then he was never known for being deft or funky. On the other hand, this song doesnt lend itself to constant guitar fills and IDK, something with the drums. Its not fast, but it sounds rushed.
I am so glad I was born in the 50's! I remember all these Rock/Funk/Jazz/Blues Legends! I saw these two awesome Men in concert back in 1970! They still can make awesome Blues Music together! Love them both. Dr. John & Eric Clapton!
Can't imagine what it's like to be the guy who writes the song a guy like Eric Clapton wants to play along with. Just discovering Dr John today and I'm going out to get his music ASAP.
His talent & charisma fills out that Big Black Suit like David Byrne's magically inhabits his Big [White] Suit! ua-cam.com/video/av3j4WStj2A/v-deo.html Cheers!
rumor has it he was a pimp at some point. he was playing the guitar at the time, but then got his finger shot of in a shootout with the cops. So now he is doctor john
Dr. J, your music never gets old. From the days of the Night Trippers till now you still are tooo funky for us mortals. That song is never in the wrong place and its always at the right time!
Clapton has lived quite the life, most of it full of loss and pain. Catch the documentary “Life in 12 bars”. Music has kept him alive. Dr. John is simply a legend. I’ve loved this song since the 70s.
This song came back to me out of nowhere and I found this gem. I been in the right place! Only thing missing is Buddy Miles thumping a double base kit with that bass.
This is beautiful I like Dr john I always love this song came out in the late 70 I was a teenager WOW you don't out grow good music and talented singer like my Eric clapton and Dr John💜😍❤️💙
Thanks for the clarification...I didn't look it up...but I guess I remembered the song so well because 1973 would have been my high school years. I did, however recall Dr. John as a sixties performer...and a lot of the sixties people around me regard him quite highly. A gift to us all...whatever the decade.
This is a great groove and musicianship and a completely different feel from the original . I like the original version better but, I can appreciate the groove that they lay down here.
When this song came out it, I went crazy for it ... it just had something that always created a bouncy rhythm, even if you were 20 feet from where it was playin' you'd find yourself bouncing around to it.
Dr.jhon una delle migliori espressioni musicali di New Orleans. nel suo genere ci sono racchiusi tutti gli stili della black music.Ed ad ogni suo show c è soltanto da divertirsi e meravigliarsi per come picchia il piano.un grande e persona generosa e simpatica ,nel senso più stretto del termine
The Night-Tripper, and Slowhand... ...how sublime. I'd almost forgotten that being a sideman was what put EC on the map, and he proves here that he can still be an excellent one. I watch Dr. John in this, and I have to wonder how much of Leon Russell's stage persona is owed to him. (EC playing a 335... How cool is that?)
+tuxguys He played the 335 at the end of the Cream era, on his one off show with the Dirty Mac, and even really early Blind Faith before he went to the Tele. Great tone, about even with the SG, and second to his Les Paul days with John Mayall.
I read somewhere that he played the Gibson ES335 with John Mayall and the Blues Breakers. He's reading the Beano comic magazine on the album cover to be exact.
For Mark Pankartz Dr. John had been playing a long time before this song came out in 1973. He had some amller hits in the 60's but did not gain any real fame until this song and then he did all the songs for School House Rock.
I met Dr John when I volunteered at WWOZ...He was a really nice guy...a sweet bad boy.
Dr John, story of my life. From the first time, until my 63 year old self. Love it. The Best.
Veramente un grandissimo saluti da Milano
Dr John's speaking voice is music on its own
he sucks
u knw it
Like Wolfman Jack’s with a little more funk
Pretty sure he forgot the words. Lol cute thou.
@@SIGMAMAN69 Wolfman Jack
Dr. John used to run an illegal radio station that was located in Mexixo, and he ramped up those transmitters. He called himself the Night Tripper.
Dr. John, you made life richer for all of us. Thank you for the memories that will last forever.
I'm so sorry to hear we've lost the legendary Dr.John today
💕 💞 💓 💗 💖 Rest in Peace, Dr. John... The Night Tripper... Thanks for everything!! 💔 😥
Dr John has that Wolf man jack thang going on.
RIP Dr. You will be sorely missed. Thank you for being you
I was about 15 when this song was all over am radio in Dallas. Still one of favorite musical memories!
Clapton has a natural ability to flow intuitively with just about any song. Something that I think earns him a place on the all time greatest guitarists list.
ok captain obvious
Clapton should be more sensitive to sharing the stage.....
No way. Clapton is grossly overrated. Give me Beck, Page, Taylor, Richards and /or Woods any day over Clapton.
You're probably right about that, but he's too much in front when the vocals are going on.

Me to!! I'm still Rocking N Rolling!!!
Can't imagine what it's like to be the guy who writes the song a guy like Eric Clapton wants to play along with. Just discovering Dr John today and I'm going out to get his music ASAP.
The way Dr John strolls on in like a true pimpin player!
His talent & charisma fills out that Big Black Suit like David Byrne's magically inhabits his Big [White] Suit!

@@elchiponr1 True!
Rest in peace Dr. John. Glad I got to see you live
R.I.P Dr. John. Loved your music.
Dr. John, you are in the right place but it is the wrong time! Too soon! I miss you already!
One of the greats! I got to see him twice at Glastonbury. He was awesome. A stark contrast to the dreadful music of today!
Great version. R.I.P. Malcolm John Rebennack Jr. Thank you for giving much happiness to many.
I'm thankful I took my daughter to see him his last time through. Great show with Mr.Art Neville may they both rest in peace...
RIP Dr. we loved your music and your music will live forever!
Peace and Love!
The best live version of my personal theme song. You can't go wrong...hey, wait a minute.
At this skill level you don’t have to think, the groove just flows naturally from fingers to instrument.
Dr. J, your music never gets old. From the days of the Night Trippers till now you still are tooo funky for us mortals. That song is never in the wrong place and its always at the right time!
RIP Dr. John..Gone..But never forgotten

R. I. P. Night Tripper , you were one cool 🐱🐱🐱 !!
Dr John was soooo cool and laid back! His music wasn't bad either. RIP. 🎹🎸👍

fiestygnome That is a lifetime ago. You dinasaur!
Thanks for your wonderful spirit. Your music 🎶 made us all happy ☺. Rest in peace Dr. john.
Dr. John always brought the best! And Eric Clapton is the man, period. Thanks for the video, MyInnerEye Mike!

R.I.P. Dr. John would be turning 80. Malcolm John Rebennack Jr. November 20, 1941, New Orleans, LA.
What the Hell is NOT to love here??? The Doctor, and The Slow Hand hizzelf? He'p me Jeezuz!!
Night night, to The Night Tripper 1941-2019. Mac's music is the best solace on such a night...
That's sexy a woman acknowledging Slowhand 😍
This is a great groove and musicianship and a completely different feel from the original . I like the original version better but, I can appreciate the groove that they lay down here.
Dr. John showing the world how to walk out while the band jammin.
Cool Daddy 😁
Хочу шампанского! ЗА тебя Пол,сокровище! Видела и подпевала тебе в Москве! В Лужниках!
Man I wish I could have seen this performance. It would have been mind blowing
Their sound reeks of class! The piano is so upbeat and Clapton's guitar is just badass. And don't forget when they go "YEEEEAAAHHHH", love it XD.
So long Mac. It's been a helluva trip. Thanks for it all.
Rest in peace Dr. John :(
Got to give myself a good talkin' to this time!!!!

人間大好き😍人間の生き方かぁ！そういう生き方もあるんですね！いわゆる無償の愛ってやつですね！
Gotta love the Doctor and Mr. Eric, too! They definitely got it goin' on!
Brings back memories. Great hollow body played by EC.
When this song came out it, I went crazy for it ... it just had something that always created a bouncy rhythm, even if you were 20 feet from where it was playin' you'd find yourself bouncing around to it.
Love the horns... love this tune!
Great jam by the greatest of the GREATS !!
Thank you for all your awesome music and being real people!!💕💕 RIP ✌️😙

Dr. John was a master.
I'll never get over his passing.
Clapton wanted to play with him, not vice versa.
RIP Dr. John!!
Unbelievable two geniuses sharing the stage.. Cool as it gets!!!!
Wow, Ronnie Cuber and Randy Brecker on horns!
The Night-Tripper, and Slowhand...
...how sublime.
I'd almost forgotten that being a sideman was what put EC on the map, and he proves here that he can still be an excellent one.

ES 335 Cherry red Gibson. Like on Crossroads Wheels of Fire....w Jack n Ginger...
two of the coolest dudes around - Kudos!!!
Eric Clapton fell in just right with that good old New Orleans sound.
the greatest and mostly forgot funky pop tune of the 70's. that clavichord riff! tasteeee.
Eric Clapton, Dr. John, a couple shots of good whiskey and turn it up. Now that would make for a night of the good stuff, no matter what!
Right guitar player, wrong time .
Eric Clapton is the Man!
Rip Dr. John.
I wish I was at that place at that time. Great jam. ✌😎
Playing in Victoria, BC August 14th at Alix Goolden Performance Hall!! FRONT ROW!
Gotta love the Doctor. The Hammering Left. So cool.
Don't you just love the way the good Dr. walks.....maybe struts on stage?
That Clapton 335........I want
Nice fills from Mr. Clapton in this uptempo version of the song!
人間大好き😍なら努力は必ず伝わると信じてエリッククラプトン！頑張ってくださいね☺️私は応援してますよ！マジで😆⤴️⤴️
RIP good Doctor.
Dr. John & Johnny Winter the best versions
Elton John Bio highly lauds our fallen night tripper, and we are bow to you Dr. J!
I think it's great. It's a different version all together.
Nice to see all together! 🎵🎵🎶🇺🇲
Nice to see Clapton playing a Gibson. He used a Gibson with Cream sounded great.
For Mark Pankartz Dr. John had been playing a long time before this song came out in 1973. He had some amller hits in the 60's but did not gain any real fame until this song and then he did all the songs for School House Rock.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING
Laissez les bons temps rouler!! & beautifully multi-dimensional, Love it... Good, good night. LOL indeed Bonsoir!
Eric and John complemented each other just fine. Some fancy call and response.
Great Post !! I didn't know Clapton and Dr. John ever played together.
This is so good. I'm happy this is on here for posterity.
Hi Nick... Roll tide Roll
