The beautiful hollow body guitar Eric Clapton is playing is a 1948 Gibson L-5P. In 2011 he put up for auction 70 of his guitars and the proceeds went to the Crossroads Center in Antigua. This rehabilitation center was founded by Eric Clapton in 1998.The auction raised over $2 million and the star of the show was the Gibson that he’s playing in this video. It went for a cool $83,000...

We all should be so very thankful that God spared this man's life and did not allow rejection,drugs and sorrow take him from us early on. What a great musician and ambassador of the blues and a great humanitarian!
Well said, even if someone said they don't like his music, which I would say you'd have to be brain dead to not like his music? You have to respect the man because of everything he's endured
Respect for one of the most amazing humans alive

Oh I get it God didn’t spare Stevie Ray Vaughan’s life though- love Clapton but how about careless, irresponsible, very talented lucky bastard?
@@anthonyrodriguez2382 not to mention all the pain he caused others
I’m dedicating this to my dear brother who passed away 3 weeks ago. I played this in the hospital after his severe stroke 5 years ago when he couldn’t talk. But he sang this song out loud and beautifully. The nurse came in and said how incredible it was. We’d walk around the floor and he’d sing this loud and clear. I also played it while holding his hand when he was leaving this world, 3 weeks ago. Thank you, Mr Clapton for the most beautiful version of this song. I hope my brother heard it.
I am really sad😢😢❤your brother is gone😢so fine you write about him❤❤❤have 4 brother in life so I can really be sorry for you.😢God bless you ❤❤
@@user-go4uq3tu9w Thank you very much for your reply. God bless you and your brothers, all the best to you
I really am so happy he introduces his band first!!! They are all so,talented!!
You must not go to concerts much?
Clapton, a cultural icon, a life of tragedy, a man of integrity, a leader in the resistance to tyranny and a personal lifelong hero.
Agree with everything else you mentioned but a leader in the resistance of tyranny?? Really? Please explain that one!

AMEN
"Clapton is great , but he ain't got nothing on Dickey Betts". Duane Allman
He played with the Beatles , Stones, BB King, Cream and an also great solo career. How blessed we are to have slow hand in our lives. Thank you Mr Clapton for making memories.
I think, the best part of this video was, when at the beginning Eric Clapton, recognized all the other musicians in the band. What a Class Act... Young musicians should watch, and learn from one of the Best!
Ok
All headliners do this with their band on pretty much the last song of the night.... this song is just fluff actually and was picked for this reason.
I think so....human be great when he give...recognize...each others
Perhaps the greatest version of this song ever.. and i'm 82 !
Me 83...
@@stefanklingler8371 ah Corporal Klingers brother no doubt
Try Eva Cassidy!
@@rdekemper
Nice but Eva sings it solo folk style in 12/8 time. As an old drummer I prefer the 4/4 time with more instruments which the number was originally written. Thanks
Eva has a pure lovely voice
@@DavidMScott-cs8pp Gotcha Scott, I’m a guitar player, love her simple approach and vocal phrasing, but agree Eric is amazing as well! 🎸
Having to pause a moment... even before the song actually begins... to say this:
I am so very impressed at the caliber of character demonstrated here -- Mr. Clapton giving nods to every other musical contributor ... one - at - a - time ... and allowing the audience to savor each one with its own time given -- and before the song begins!
Way too often, an artist will quickly list & ramble off all if the names in a three seconds breath ..
This was wonderful to see
(ok, back to watching)
OhmyGOSH!!!
Ohhhhhh awwww Clapton...
Fan-fking-tastic!!
Straight to the top of my playlist! 🩷
After watching many many live performances of Clapton, one thing you can notice - the guys who play with him seem extremely happy. I wish that to everyone. Can't see that anywhere else
Eric Clapton, what’s not to like about this version. A little bluesy, jazzy and MASTER CLASS! ❤️🎵🎵😍
That's fantastic. Well I know you
must be surprised to receive a message from me
right?
I really enjoyed the sincerity, and gratitude Eric and Billy showed for each other, during the intro's this may have been the last concert that Billy really enjoyed himself, after his come back from very tragic and troubled past events, Eric knew all to well about the demons of addiction, and welcomed Billy back with open arms, God bless'em both Ase'
Amen to your comment David.
Eric Clapton is so gracious with his guests and fellow musicians
It warms my heart
Hi Andrea💐💐
I dedicated this beautiful song to my mom & dad ,rest in peace 😍😍😍.Thanks Mr. Clapton you're indeed a great musician, a legend.
I chose the Eva Cassidy version of this beautiful song , to be played at my Mum’s funeral, back in 1999 💕 The song epitomises her view on life …. 🎶🥰❤️🌈💞💕
In Fort Worth Texas they just built a new arena 14000 seats called Dickies And I live 2 blocks away and get to walk down the 13th of September and watch Eric Clapton play how cool is that! There's only one...E.C.
I'm totally jealous of that! Hope you have a great time.
Little late but, How was the concert?
Awesome
Eric, you killed it again. One of the top versions of this song along with Gene Vincent's, somewhere over there... up in Heaven. And what an extraordinary band you got together. You never cease to amaze with the freshness of every line you play, and you've never sung better then you do today. Aretha was right you're not white, you have the colour of music, the one that Ray Charles can perceive. With your guitar you paint colors that even the blind can see . God bless you.
I also lost a son and so admire your courage and heart. Thank you.
Im so so sorry for your lost ❤sending love to you ❤lots of love
I can't even comprehend that. I so admire your courage and strength, God Bless you and your son
I could listen to Eric Clapton all day long. He's made some great songs over the years. A gentleman!! Bravo!!🎸🎸🎹🎸
All true. The greatest iever heard😊I once had a pet halibut named Eric.he was super cool and tasty with chips.
One of the finest arrangements I've ever heard and I'm 72 years old and must have heard a hundred of them.
Maybe a hundred thousand time
Lost my son too…thank you Mr. Clapton
This concert was one month before september the 11th. Take us back to then please, the world hasn't been the same since. Life was simpler and happier.
What you’re seeing is freedom and liberty going from the people to the government. It’s a runaway train to Venezuela.
I played this at my moms funeral. She always loved Eric Clapton and this version of Over the Rainbow. Love and miss her everyday ❤
Hello
I remember my mother telling me once she was diagnosed with kidney failure, she wanted her sons to perform only two songs at her funeral, Amazing Grace and When the Saints go marching in. This literally her life story
Eric Clapton, always giving the spotlight to his friends and fellow musicians. Humble.
Only Clapton could touch a song like this.
Not true
Just can't express how much I love this man and this song...
Thanks God for Eric Clapton. What a blessing and a gift from God.
What has god to do with it? If you know it, please let us know.
Eric is probably the best songwriter and musician in My Lifetime period.
Clapton is a great musician, one of the best, but as a song writer, I'd have to say he can hold his own but there are atleast 25 of his peers that he cannot hold a candle to. Many of his greatest hits are covers.
The one and only Eric Clapton.
For all the torment that man has gone through, he remains a class act, an extremely talented musician, and a great humanitarian. I pray he has found peace because of what he suffered and eventually gave the world.
I'm 74 and Clapton will always be my favorite guitarist. Layla is my favorite song. 😍
Hello Collette how are you doing today????
Love Eric Clapton for appreciating & giving recognition to his band members! Every band should recognize their members! Also Eric Clapton is a fantastic guitarist, singer, songwriter with a wonderful band! This a classic song that will never grow old!!!💕💕💕
Not for nothing but have you ever noticed that Eric always has the smoothest musicians
This guy Eric Clapton is pretty good. He should get a band together and record an album or something. He could really go places.
All Hail the Artists and Musicians - who are keeping this world ALIVE.
Yes. I was taught that the space between the notes is just as important. Less is more. He just has that wonderful space that invites you in.
Isn’t that the truth. I love your last sentence! …. Just like the negative space in a a painting is what makes a painting. And the space between thoughts makes for contemplation. Anyways, a beautiful rendition of a classic song.
I heard this played Live in Concert. Different City. Different Time. One of the most cherished memories of my Life. Priceless!
Hi Tammy💐
@Privateericclaptopchannel thank you
@Privateericclaptopchannel I will.
Love Eric Clapton. Big artists ends with a "God bless You".
As I'm getting older now, I am still in love with the great musicians from my early years. Clapton, John Prine, Dylan, Cohen, Bonnie Raitt, Willie Nelson, I could go on and on. What a wonderful time to have been young. You all need to listen to my dear niece's cover of All of Me. Find Emma White! With love from Aunt Jennifer, here's to the new generation.
ABBA, a group from a couple of generations before me, came out with a new album after 40 years, and they came in second place, the first time theyve ever even had a top 20 album in America; and i was so happy for them! I could not help but see what came in first place, so i youtubed some of her music:
As happy as I was for ABBA, so was I heartbroken over the music of this generation found at #1!
Shamelessly EVIL! I couldnt believe the filth I was hearing! Music is subconscious programing and if that statement is true:
We are in trouble!
I am with you!
This is one of 3 greatest versions of this epic song: Eric's, Eva Cassidy's and, first and foremost, the immortal Judy Garland's.
Si
Loved Eva Cassidy
Nicholas, I have just downloaded these three singers version of the song and I am surprised to read yr comment now that we share the same taste of the song ha ha and in the same order too.
What a true gentleman!
This great man can do anything and make it his own
Love the way Eric introduces the band. He looks so happy and like a genuinely humble man!
I do too! I agree and I think the bank looks happy too.
Well he has a lot to be humble for. But, a great talent? No doubt.
Clapton, Steve Gadd, Nathan East, Billy Preston (R.I.P.), A. Fairweather- Low and David Sancious on stage, pure greatness! Really a lovely version of a classic.. Eric's playing's just wonderful, as well as his singing. His voice became better with age. Love, how relaxed he is here. Eric forever!!
Yess Yess Yesssssssss ...
ERIC FOREVEEERERR 🙏🏼 🤗 ♥️
In our house we called Billy Preston, the fifth Beatle…
Thank you for all you have given of yourself in your music ! Many of us have been around to share your musical journey with you. Over the Rainbow is like the icing on the cake. It’s one of the songs on my list to be played at my funeral. I hope to hear live again in 2 weeks in Atlanta like I did 20 years ago. I wish you well pilgrim, Spirit Bear
I love that there are NO cellphones in the audience!!! They were totally focused on the music.
How can I be 56
And just stumble upon this Oct 9 2022
I can't believe I have never heard this before
Over the rainbow has been sung a lot of times by a lot of people. But every now and then Eric Clapton happens. And then something exceptional becomes a classic again.
Fantastic band and great, singing
eric well done
One of a the kind
Nice song
Great taste
Respect!
Eric is a hero on all levels. Especially now
All his years he was quiet politically. Now he has a personal and valid reason to speak up. At 76 he's fierce and fearless and I love him
I lost my Mom in March of this year due to Covad. Hearing this song really helped me realize just how much she meant to me, and how much she will be missed.
Thank You Eric !!!
sory for your lost, big hug from Portugal...Stay strong.
That's beautiful
big hugs from Montreal
I never noticed before but Clapton has a beautiful voice!
Hello
Well, his technique guitar skills are superb, voice, rather weak, always questioned why? Gifted but beaten.
@@susanrichard1653 One thing has nothing to do with the other. But I invite you to reflect on the difference between “the voice” and “the singer.” It’s true, Clapton’s voice is not particularly strong. But he is a SUPERB SINGER.
Not just because I love Clapton, but think about it folks, how many artists could pull off a Judy Garland classic, adapt it to this blues style, with the legendary guitar and vocals and make it a hit.
You have so right 😊❤he is so amazing❤❤and one off the best gitarr player and si g so good so fine he is and all the other to❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love this song, the way He sings it! I love Eric Clapton’s music!❤️
Saw this show in Vegas 20 years ago. All acoustic
Billy Preston, Dr. John. Was in awe. Went back the next night.
Felt like I owed it to myself
This must be one of the most recorded songs ever...I can honestly say Eric, this is one of the loveliest of all of them. Just beautiful!! Love from New Zealand. xx 9.2020.
Hello, how are you doing my friend?
This sing is for all humanity 🙏👍🎶🎶🎶❤️
Thank you Mr. Clapton and band. Sweet
We just don't know how lucky we are to enjoy the talents of truly great musicians such as Eric Clapton. We were both blessed and spoiled to experience others such as Les Paul, Chet Atkins, Jerry Reed, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and many others as well over the past 60 odd years. We should be truly thankful for what they gave us in music. We grew up and lived in amazing times. Think about that for a moment.
As I get older I understand better how genius covers a wide swath of mankind and time.
The finest wish upon a star ever. Lord thank you for EC.
I lost my big sister last week. I love you, Linda. You don’t have to hurt anymore.
mysterjl, I feel for you, I lost my dad, my best friend, last year. He loved Clapton. I move forward like he made me promise to do, but every morning I awake, is worse than the day before
so sorry for you
Who the hell could give this a thumbs down? I watch this after a hard days work, and it works...
Take it from a guitarist of 59 years ... This was not a song halfway done by a very good blues/rock musician ... This was beautifully and tastefully crafted by a real musician. A stageful of real musicians ... And while we're at it, Jesus is the only way over that rainbow.
Indeed, my Saviour lives
God didn’t spare his life he guided his life and love of his mankind…Never see another like him as my beloved musicians go so go I
💕 love you sista💕
Eric can play anything and everything. The man is an awesome guitar 🎸 player! Turning 69 in 3 days...what better than a little Clapton, Led Zeppelin, Doors
I’ll be turning 69 myself this August. Man we sure lived through some fantastic music!
I am old and tired and I am sorry to keep commenting the same thing over and over again but this rendition is my new favorite song. Blessings~
Always among the most tasteful, and melodic "feel" players... also, his singing has Never been better than this! Of all of his work, Behind The Sun (album) most stands out to me as a triumph. Cheers, Eric... Cheers, Sir!
I lost my mother in March 2021 to Covid. The worst experience having to say your goodbyes over a cell phone in speaker mode as they had her in quarantine. I was handling it pretty good till I was processing my thoughts at my desk at work and for some reason I played this song.
It brought me to my knees with emotion and I will always be grateful for this version of this song.
I’m sorry for your loss, 🙏🏼God rest her soul. I too, have recently lost someone close and that’s what brought me here. I lost my dad December 7th 2021 and I miss him.Bless you strength, good health and happiness, until we them again…
@@energyasylum997 Thank You for your kind words and thoughts. Sorry for your loss of your Dad. Yours passed on the 7th of December 2021and mine was on the 5th 2 days before yours. At least I was able to be with him when he took his last breath. Its been a rough 2 years for our Family loosing Mom to Covid and then a year latter Dad to dementia. Glad to see your searching the right music to cure the pain and loss your feeling music is the only cure for us now until we meet them again in a better place.
I'm 63 & love Clapton, especially the older stuff but there is no contest, Judy Garlands original version pulls on the heart like no other.
Listen to the version IZ sings... his will put a tear in your eyes...
Love Clapton, but agree, Garland did this better than anyone.
@@jeffyancey5161 I feel Israels version is more emotional.
My only thoughts listening to this is of his little boy that he lost so many years ago in that tragic accident....Lovely and yet so haunting. The best rendition I've ever heard in my lifetime!
Erics signing is just as powerful as his guitar playing.
And somehow better with years
One of my favorite masterpieces! What a pleasure and peace to listen to this song!
I'm always overwhelmed by this man's incredible talent.
How could anyone give this a thumbs down? It's a timeless song, an amazing arrangement & a superb band.
NO $H!T ... This not only fixed my down mood, but made me feel so very "wonderful tonight" 😋 and now I'm on a roll, listening to all kinds of amazing, chill, mood music. Rock & Roll Classic Greats Gallore over here baby!!!
Well Mrgoesto11, let's just hope this thumbs down happy fool realizes what a good sound is one of these days. What a pitty. His/her ears mustn't be working in their favor lol... Whata Shame, SMH!
Take Care,
Jennifer M. (THE BIGGEST BEATLES LOVER AND FAN YOU'LL EVER KNOW!!!)
People with no soul. 🤗🤗🤗
WHAT A LOVELY VERSION OF THIS BEAUTIFUL SONG, PLAYED AND SANG BY THIS LEGEND.
Eric Clapton il miglior artista, chitarrista e cantante che ci sia fino adesso. Grazie Eric.
I'm happy to see Eric Clapton play any day. It's good that he beat the devils and it's good he is happy and healthy.
How lovely to see introductions of the bandmates before the song. It really gives so much more meaning to the performance.
Amazing ! Love , and Gratitude to a Great Musician , and Gentleman ! Loved The Excellent Band as well ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❣️
Eric Clapton stands head to head with any of the great guitarists of the 20th Century. This interpretation of Harold Arlen's ' Over
the Rainbow' is priceless. Thankfully it was saved for future generations of musicians to listen and learn
Slowhand is one of the most influential musicians of the 20th and 21st centuries.
Ohh man when nathan says erics name and he goes in that incredible solo... so beautiful.
Phenomenal rendition. Best musicians on the planet and greatly arranged and played by slow hand. Fantastic. I replayed it 7 times.
Only 7? I'm at 99! 😀
Who in the whole earth can give this epic, master, SUPER harmonization master class, thumbs down. Lord have mercy of the illiterate insensitive, depth people. Loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!,
Eric you have such a nice, soothing voice. So grateful to the Lord that you are clean of drugs .May He continue to strengthen you, and may you continue to depend on Him.
I hope that someday, people regardless of their ethnicity, culture, believes, demographics, skin colors, and gender, will hold each other hands, and spreads kindness, and peacefulness all over the world...
It's happening in Sri Lanka, right now, against corrupt Politicians... 🙏🇱🇰❤. Eric Clapton is one of favourites
AWWWMEN.
OK. From a musician's stand point there's a lot you can say about Clapton. High's and Low's of course as we all have had. But one thing he gets that's lacking in some of today's music. He knows how much less is more. When you play the right notes, you don't have to play nearly as many of them and people will listen to you much longer than they will someone constantly trying to impress you with those wonderful (they think) calisthenics they have worked out on the guitar. Some of you will understand perfectly what I just said, others will not. But then, that's the way of the world these days. Everyone has their own reality. And many think theirs is the only reality. And for them, I suppose it is. And I'm sure there are quite a few who don't really like Clapton, but then, a LOT of us do!
..
Certainly he's Clapton Eric the epic in guitar playing
I love this rendition!!!!!
Maybe proof of your assertion is that we will pay good money to see Clapton, and shredders just keep shredding. Great music is art, right?
Iv listened to him since th 70s and th man just keeps getting better. One of my favorite guitar players
When Eric unites with Gibson, magic happens.
It takes me back to his John Mayall and Cream days.
What a delightful Claptonian introduction to the rest of the band members!😊😊........ and what full justice done to the song in his own inimitable styĺe!!!
That was FREAKIN AWESOME!!! I had a big smile on my face thru the entire song!!
WTG ERIC!!!👍👍👍😍
Hello, How are you doing? It’s nice seeing you here
Is Clapton one of my favorites? Absolutely, but not because of that and the fact that he just took a classic from a classic movie and ran with it. I truly believe that he could do an album of children's nursery rhymes and it would blow people out of the water! Lol!!!
This is really good, but if someone had told me in 1967 that some day Eric Clapton would be playing the Judy Garland classic I'd have told them they were nuts.
buckfan1969 that’s the same thing I said when I heard him & Jeff Beck do Moon River. No more- they’re awesome
True. Me and the boys were flying high when Clapton came on the scene. Conversely, I never thought I'd see the day when Les Paul would play with Billy Gibbons (ZZ TOp) and then Dickie Betts. One more while I'm at it. Opera Singer Luciano Pavarotti with James Brown. Folks, if you haven't seen that one, check it out. Listen to them do Brown's, "It's A Man's World." In music, you never know...
Hahahahaha yes you’ d never believed it isn’t wonderful that were still alive to hear him sing this extraordinary song which is on of my favourite songs I have never allmost never forgotten this song by Judy Garlend
What a night that mustv been wow Im happy to have heard it on my Ipad at the age of 82 2024 in march 23 rd on a saturday night at 8*34 pm ❤️💟🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘☮️🌈🌈🌈☔️☔️☔️😍🌺⭐️🌹🌻🍀😍🥰🙏🙏🙏
And making it the greatest version I have ever heard, just my opinion.
I love how Nathan East looks over at Eric several times in amazement at Eric's playing. That is, perhaps, the biggest compliment especially coming from one of the best Bass players to ever live.
More people need to see this - a collection of pure class musicians from Eric`s dartboard centre - eminating from within.
Absolutely.
The Gibson guitar is so healing for the mind and soul. Pure tone and feeling. Eric is great also.
TWO beautiful Gibsons ...
BEST VERSION EVER.
listened to this one so many times.
Eric has enough talent and confidence that he doesn't feel the need to mess with the melody or lyrics to put his own stamp on it like a lot of other artists do when covering this song. Thank you Eric!
This is my favorite song of all time. I chose a different song to dance with my son at his wedding in 2013, he came to my house and asked me to please switch it to Israel’s version of Somewhere Over The Rainbow 🌈, because he said he always thinks of me when he hears this song, because he knows it’s my favorite song & my favorite movie. My mom just passed away a month ago and my dad is in hospice declining faster downhill. My mom asked me 8 months ago what my favorite movie is, I told her Wizard Of Oz, she was surprised, she said “Still?”, I said absolutely and told her Marlin and I danced to “Somewhere” at his wedding in October 2013, my parents couldn’t come to the wedding, because my mom almost died in 2013, I’m a florist and I always planned on doing all my sons wedding flowers (I just did the flowers for my mother’s funeral in March 2024), I did the consultation with my DIL in May 2013, but my mom went into ICU June 1st, 2013, she had her 1st surgery on June 5th, but they couldn’t remove her intestines blockage or get both kidneys to work, I traveled to Southern California and stayed at her bedside most of summer at her bedside, my sister and I were made heads of her medical decisions, as my dad already had dementia bad in 2013 and couldn’t make medical decisions for mom, so all my 5 siblings and I already went through 2013, as my sister, who rotated bedside with mom with me, said at mom’s funeral last month, we’ve been grieving for mom for 11 years already, still nothing could compare or prepare me for mom’s eventual death, and my dad’s impending death. I was able to keep the promise I made to my mama & stay with her until her death, I thank God for guiding me & helping me time it just right, I watched lots of hospice videos to prepare me for my mom’s final stages of death, that helped & I was able to get 2 of my siblings to rush back to California & be with me and mom, mom couldn’t speak or see, during her last 4 days of life, as she started transitioning early Saturday morning and I knew she had began actively dying. No amount of videos, reading, nothing could prepare me for the pain of losing my beloved mama. I came on UA-cam to watch Eric sing Tears In Heaven, because that song popped into my brain and I dedicated that song to my wonderful, kind, funny, artistic, smartest, prettiest, best mom in the world. She was so beloved by me, and my 5 siblings, all of my nieces and nephews, my sons, all of my parents great grandchildren, her funeral was the most beautiful funeral I’ve ever been to.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
YOU SOUND LIKE A VERY,VERY LOVING PERSON❤ GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ❤
Wonderful rendition of this iconic song. He did a great job. Heartfelt. Takes me back to the magic of childhood and hope. Many thanks.
The best Guitar Man in the World
A Star-studded lineup to perform such a simple song in the best blues style ever.
never get sick of listening to this.
Mum died yesterday. Love u eric
I'm sorry for your loss. Love you.
