I love how so many rock guitarists get themselves into contorted postures, yet can’t seem to get the sound out. EC just lays it down. Pure. Simply the best.
EC has been my favorite artist for over 40 years … I’ve seen him live many many times … and I’ve seen many great guitar players in my life … EVH … Peter Green …Alvin Lee … Robin Trower …BB King …etc … and he is the best I’ve ever seen ….. when he WANTS to play … I’ve seen many mediocre shows from him too … but when he really wants to play … he’s slice and dice your soul to pieces …with fewer notes than anyone … he is touched my magic 🪄 🎸
Absolutely stunning. Seen him so many times, his secret surely is that what’s in his soul comes out in his playing…..and gets right to the core of OUR souls. So many hair standing, goosebump moments.
My favourite and where I think Eric was at his best is Derek&the Dominos.Not only because Layla.He's playing so powerful.When I listened that CD it blowed my mind away.And also at the Filmmore CD is he really great.Just listen 'Have You Ever Loved A Woman' or 'Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad' or 'Blues Power' then you know what I mean.
This version is in D minor. Just use your D minor pentatonic blues scale. Most of the earlier versions he played in 70s were in C minor but he plays it in D minor these days.
Clapton at his best. Too bad the sound and picture isn't better. This is one of Clapton's favorite blues tunes and it shows by the passion he puts into it. This is an Otis Rush masterpiece that Eric performs with as much soul and feeling as Otis does.
wow ists in Dminor, i know it in Cminor. But the new Version with stevie einwood is in Dminor too. its incredeble, i love Eric so much. He is a incredible singer and the best Guitar Player ever. But, jimmy page, jeff back, gary Moore, Mr. Monte Montgomery, Tommy Emmanuel.. are very good. But nobody, NOBODY is so good like our Eric. We all love him so much. he is my hero. My absolutly hero
@bluesking17 and others: Just try it out ;) Most times Eric plays in a relative simple pentatonic scale. All you have to do is slide around your neck to find the right key :)
Nothing wrong with psychedelic but it ain't blues. Sean Costello is the definition of blues and soul. Guitar unmatched. Vocals raw and deep. Unfortunately he died young and never got the exposure he deserved.
The top. The elite. The best, hands down. never imitated, never equaled.
Clapton. The last word.
this is feel cream's play like childish. 90's eric is far better than cream.
From the Cradle tour in middle 90's was, in my opinion, the best Clapton period. What a voice, what a guitar playing. Pure blues power.

He has achieved greatness in every decade he has been playing guitar it would be almost impossible to say which is best
hes making that guitar cry and sing this is best version of this song ive seen of eric awesome
This is 100% PURE. It really does not get any better than this, amazing singer, amazing man and the greatest player on earth.
Clapton was fantastic during Cream for sure. But in my opinion this is up there with any of his best stuff, and I've heard a ton of it.
Just one man one guitar. What a song. Mind blowing
WOW!!! I always thought the version from "Just One Night" was the best, but in this one he's on fire. Some of his best work ever> Thanks for posting.

Jaw-dropping, mind-blowing, this is so magnificent !!!
He is the Supreme Being of Guitar Playing. Forever and ever ...
what a guitar player what a singer what a musician

Clapton was on during this song, really on. This version of the song gives me chills, and I'm sad that I don't have this as an mp3.
jeez. magnificent
Oh Lawd ! I'm simply speechless wOw !! Nothin but The Blues Tour.. saw it at The Omni in Atlanta, Ga. ..2 and half hours of sheer bliss !!
❤ the best musican that God blessed us with ❤Forever Fan ♥
Pure genius 🎸

The guitar is beautiful, Eric. I suspect it might be one of those in the Hall of Fame. I'm following this song. Love you ....
Amazing rendition of the Otis Rush song.One of Erics best solos,also like the one with Steve Winwood too.Untouchable player in blues.
Eric the love of my life😊great performence😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
He's wonderful, isn't he?
Clapton at his best. Too bad the sound and picture isn't better. This is one of Clapton's favorite blues tunes and it shows by the passion he puts into it. This is an Otis Rush masterpiece that Eric performs with as much soul and feeling as Otis does.
Was at this show and remember this great moment.
Yeahh nice album love it
To many effects!!!!!!This song is so incredible. I love the version from "just one night"
Listen to that tone..beautiful
Excellent song - Clapton pours himself into this tune. Otis Rush, right?
What tour/year? Is this version available on a cd or dvd?
On this classic he is smoking and blows everything else away
Fantastic!!!
great,....you can also see a very good clapton on this channel playin' "steppin' out" live ,played on his 335
wow ists in Dminor, i know it in Cminor. But the new Version with stevie einwood is in Dminor too.

Love both, but the MSG one is like a 5 alarm fire. Check both out. :)

someone had fun with the video editing on this one.
Awesome is all I can say
i agreeeeeeeeeeee!!!!
I´m not really a Clapton -fan , but i totally agree !
finger crazy
the drunkards yelling are cracking me the hell up. But hey, I'd probably be doing the same thing at a Clapton concert in 1995!
MSG 2008 I should clarify, Eric with Steve Winwood.
yes he is
God is playing
I think he got the blues....
Magnifico...
WOW!!!!
Wow, can´t believe my ears
Geez - I guess, this is how it was meant to be. I mean . . . when the world was created.
Who"s in his band during this performance?
And why doesn't work that video?
Excellent. But I still like the version with Winwood better!
nice pants
that as a bit of an annoying video edit, but i liked the music :)
cela tranche l ame laissant penetrer la presence de l eternel
May be...
Is he using that teeny tiny tweed amp in the back????
There are doubled Fender Tweed Twin Amps.
Heck of an amp. Resurrected his sound to this day
Is that eno on keyboards lol
@tappannie doesn't sound psychedelic at all to me. Isn't blues? Not sure what you're listening to here, bud.
rory gallagher?
No this is Eric Clapton.
More psychedelic than blues. Check out Sean Costello's many versions. They are the real deal, crazy brilliant and smoking hot.
Ruined by all that stupid messing on with the camera zooming in out & all over the place.
Clapton was at his best in cream, this isnt even close to some of his best stuff.
Ur crazy!! He wasn't playing like this in Cream!!
