My husband died suddenly (on his motorcycle), and I thought my world was over. Listening to Eric's music was a blessing. Of course I listened to Tears in Heaven, probably over 100 times. 2 years later I'm in a better headspace. Humbly, I want to thank EC for the love. ❤❤

He is still the best and clean and sober and paying it forward helping musicians and addicts he is a great humanitarian God saved him to share with all of us. Now matter how bad things get look what this man has gone through.
Since EC got sober in the mid-1980s he was to me he was going up and up and up and to say that he was at his peak in 1990-91 he had a whole Orchestra behind him in that time might of swayed you to believe that but I think that him playing at 75yrs old which is his age now I think there's no peak to him he's been great he's always been great even through the bad times.God Bless Eric forever.💙✝✝✝🎸🎸🎸
you prolly dont give a shit but if you're bored like me atm you can stream pretty much all the latest series on instaflixxer. Have been watching with my gf these days :)
I have really loved Eric Clapton 24 Nights At The Albert Hall. His Journey Man tour inspired Eric to have different segments meaning the blues nights, where he brought in the best blues musicians like Buddy Guy on guitar and Johnny Johns on piano who played with Chuck Berry and other blues masters, It was his first taste at becoming a musical director I believe. This time period was Eric at his best! I have enjoyed my VHS of Eric Clapton 24 Nights at the Royal Albert Hall so much I need to go and purchase the new blue ray DVD so I may keep enjoying this fantastic concert. Xoxo, David. 😃✌🏻❤️🎼🎹🎸🎛🎚🎤🔊🔊🔊💥🎶🎵🤘🫶🌺

This is a great video of 4- piece band. A part of EC's "24 Nights" concert at the RAH. Like to see Blues Night in full length with special guests - Buddy Guy and Robert Cray.
I was there as well. Fromm the start at the Albert with 6 concerts up to 24 nights. I saw each of these gigs. I saw E.C. ,no joke, mir handelt a hundred times.
In a 50-year career of terrific output, 24 Nights is arguably EC's apogee. The spare band of church-trained taste-monsters, the spare arrangements, the =punch= of the mixing, engineering and EQing of each "voice," Eric's foot- =and= finger-work here. Find me a better EC statement, and I'll consider it. But until then...
I'd share this: that a practiced person becomes as expert and as pert to an audience as all the quaRtet are. That Eric is amazing, may be due to a focus on his previous live-viewors, especially w "White room" and cReam 1968-1969 live versions-- imparticular, the wah-wah pedal-- and surety that Exists in a resolve to discipline exerts a final forum of: listening, reading, viewing.
Amazing talent the way the music seems to pour effortlessly out of his body. Such a gift. I pray I'll be able to see him in california in october. Trip of a lifetime!
Clapton at his best...when he was writing new songs, as well singing the great blues stuff he grew up with - now he seems to have given up writing completely....and his sets are SOOOO familiar. No wonder he's said he's giving up touring when he's 70...
+Jas8631 I think that Clapton was at his best with Albert Lee on second guitar and Chris Stainton on keyboards but it is a personal choice. Tony Robson
I was fortunate to him in 1987 with East, Phillingains, and Phil Collins in Costa Mesa , Ca.. East was my idol and he played so good that night, they all did. It was a treat to see Collins just playing drums. A year later I saw Genesis at Dodger stadium and 4 rows away from me was Nathan and his brother Marcel. Super nice guy.
You are SO right. An THIS is the concert where I "forgave" him for his melt down a few years earlier. If Nathan and Greg can forgive him, well shit howdy, I can too. Because this shit is rocking. AND "August" is still one of my favorite from my brother Eric. Bless him.
i hear a lot of version of this song too, and it doesn't sound so bad, maybe it isn't his best version but i like it ( actually i like verything about EC) :D
I have the 24 nights video which I think this is from. The Journeyman tour. Great band and Clapton tore it up on this tour. One of the highlights was I Shot the Sherriff which they left off the video. Really bad decision. It went right into White Room and made for a smoking medley and they cut it out. They released the audio on a 3 song cd. WTF? Release the whole video please! I have seen other shows here on youtube that have it but would like a clean version. Still a great rocking memory.
The sound isn't up to today's quality because it is not 'Digitaly Recorded' it's on antiquated film, so I'd say it's good for the time. Also on the last 4 nights the London Philharmonic with Michael Kamen conducting, played seamlessly, with Clapton living upto to his monacle "SLOWHAND".

Whilst I do really like Eric playing as part of a four-piece, I do think his band gains a lot from having a second guitar player. It would have added some good embellishment and filled out the sound in a good way.
My sentiments exactly. Clapton is always placed second to Hendrix. Although I love Hendrix, his archive of work, due only to his early death, is not equal to the work of Clapton. I think Clapton is the greatest solo guitarist of his generation, especially the blues.
as for the music Blues Clapton is definitely better than Hendrix, Clapton has been called the man of the Blues, I repeat with regard to the Blues with Clapton there is little to joke he is the best.
I disagree about Jimi being #1 I think Eric has the crown. Jimi was experimental like Jeff Beck. Jimi played 1 style psychedelic Eric plays everything with feeling
No way Hendrix exceeds Clapton. Not to disparage his prodigious talent, but his archive, due to an early death, is too thin. Clapton has extended his playing over several decades.
My husband died suddenly (on his motorcycle), and I thought my world was over. Listening to Eric's music was a blessing. Of course I listened to Tears in Heaven, probably over 100 times. 2 years later I'm in a better headspace. Humbly, I want to thank EC for the love. ❤❤

❤ LE MUSICIEN EST GRAND ET L'HOMME EST GRAND AUSSI !!!❤
Clapton toured US with Stevie Ray Vaughan as opening act in late 1980s. What an awesome lineup that was.
Wow too bad for my boy Eric it must have been a nightmare to have to face Hendrix yet again!!
@@ignaciogalvan6575 They were friends bro
He told one of his best friends and personal bodyguard to make sure Stevie got home in the helicopter that crashed that night. Both were killed.
and we're still whackin' 'em today @ michaelflowers
And he’s back touring now with Jimmie Vaughan!!
He makes it look so easy, the solo he plays in White Room is sensational.
Perfect phrasing and timing, vibrato just awesome to listen to.
A perfectly crafted rock solo....and to think he improvised it on the spot too.
I agree great solo, I personally like the one from the Orchestra version even better
Clapton makes his solos look so easy.
The greatest clapton´s era and the best band!!!!
Clapton was best in Cream. Everything else pales in comparison. That's not opinion, it's fact.
I agree love Cream.They were the Best.🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
@@ardellgough hey, heartbreakers era was good to!
@@ardellgough Clapton is the BEST whenever he plays…..🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
@@ardellgoughnah
One of the best performances of Eric Clapton.
he was at his absolute peak, clean and sober also!!!
Agreed!
👍
Since EC got sober in the mid-1980s he was to me he was going up and up and up and to say that he was at his peak in 1990-91 he had a whole Orchestra behind him in that
time might of swayed you to believe that but I think that him playing at 75yrs old which is his age now I think there's no peak to him he's been great he's always been great even through the bad times.God Bless Eric forever.💙✝✝✝🎸🎸🎸
Agreed, he was at his peak at 24 nights!!!!
you prolly dont give a shit but if you're bored like me atm you can stream pretty much all the latest series on instaflixxer. Have been watching with my gf these days :)
Eric Clapton ,megaestar.
I was there and it was superb. I had the journeyman album on LP and wore it out!
I caught this show while working in Hamburg. I can promise you that it was fantastic. Along with Eric, the rest of the band was exceptional.
😉😉 WONDERFUL !!!! LAYLA IN A.... WHITE ROOM ,... SUNSHINE OF A... BAD LOVE ..IS NOT PRETENDING...BUT WONDERFUL!!!
The best moment of his career

Definitely 90's Clapton... but then there's the 2004 I Shot The Sheriff solo...
in complete agreement with this. the band, arrangements, performances, mixing are all tops
great show. on the original "white room" with cream, clapton plays amazing wa wa riffs between verses
the guy has Blessed hands that is all to say
It touch really your whole soul.great work Eric Clapton.
Great concert and I WAS THERE, seating on the left side of the stage.

It's 2024 and he hasn't given up.
Thank you for uploading this. It touched my heart.
I always thought his best concerts are with Nathan East on bass and Greg Philliganes on keyboard. like this one.
+Jas8631 I think that Clapton was at his best with Albert Lee on second guitar and Chris Stainton on keyboards but it is a personal choice. Tony Robson
Jas8631 Yep to that...
Right on! :) Not only 24 nights but the Budokan 2001 one! The chemistry were so right
I was fortunate to him in 1987 with East, Phillingains, and Phil Collins in Costa Mesa , Ca.. East was my idol and he played so good that night, they all did.

Really nice, although the back-up vocalist at "Bad Love" was terrible this night ^^
White room was epic! Thanks for the upload mate.
Fine as a frogs hair.
Thank you sincerely.
Great nights!
Journeyman is a masterwork.
Yes I agree a masterwork...😉
Well done, Derek Klapto !! ( Only for expertise, answer why. )
You are a genious !!
Espectacular, hay que conseguir mas recitales de estos...
Thanks for uploading this version! It's great.
Wow I’ve seen that other one from 1990 so this is rly cool
I was 15 and I was at this concert 😁
The sound isn't up to today's quality because it is not 'Digitaly Recorded' it's on antiquated film, so I'd say it's good for the time.

How about this life? 10 years since this coment... ¿did you try to learn ?

PFFFFFT!!! If you can play the guitar like that, you must be a verry verry happy man. I can't, so i'm not happy!
Pancake Practice.
a very goed number
Clapton is God.
true
but there should be one more drumkit for Collins :D
True.
simplemente lo mejor ,con acompañantes de lujo....
My sentiments exactly. Clapton is always placed second to Hendrix. Although I love Hendrix, his archive of work, due only to his early death, is not equal to the work of Clapton. I think Clapton is the greatest solo guitarist of his generation, especially the blues.
Clapton was the better musician/player but Hendrix was the better guitarist-entertainer. That's how I explain it.
as for the music Blues Clapton is definitely better than Hendrix, Clapton has been called the man of the Blues, I repeat with regard to the Blues with Clapton there is little to joke he is the best.
What about Gary Moore???? He was surely another 90s2000 greatest player???
I disagree about Jimi being #1 I think Eric has the crown. Jimi was experimental like Jeff Beck. Jimi played 1 style psychedelic Eric plays everything with feeling
