😂No he’s not. Love Eric and that whole era they where all true artist in music and well when u play, got and feel the blues it’s magical. What an awsome concert
How. In Heaven’s name. Can anyone say. That this man. This consummate musician. This artist. Is. In any way. Overrated? How? His emotional depth. His generosity of spirit. Everything. A gift to me. For which I am deeply grateful.
@@SwapnenduKar Thats exactly right However playing super fast or technical does not make you a great guitar player. All that is does is make the music sound technical rather than having soul and feeling the way Eric plays. I have played for over 50 years now and personally I think Eric is far better than the super fast players.
I don’t think anyone will ever be ever to play like him either. They’ll steal some licks, try to immolate his phrasing, his style. But..,.you’re right - they’ll never be Clapton.
Amazing, as many times as I have heard him play this song live and just about the time I think Iv'e heard it all before, Clapton slaps's me right in the smacker and proves me wrong. Another performance for the books. The thing that separates Eric from most guitarist. is that he can not only play like the devil but he can also write great songs...IMO ....and I know there are many other famous guitarist that can write and play but not many. Being able to play great and write great songs is what separates the famous from the not so famous...(at least in my opinion )...
I think this is the best version of old love. I mean i get goosebumps every time I click on this video. Those feelings are insane, I feel it in my whole body when Eric starts singing.
I think ( just my opinion ) the expressions each artist brings is there own flavor that makes them “ them “ because when it comes to technical & skill playing , the same has been said bout sooo many others Clapton , Santana , Hendrix , Steve Vi , the two Joe’s Bonamassa and Satriani Etc - so to say the best in the world would be for You - again just my opinion - cheers
I was at this show. This was in Madison Square Garden in June of '99, (and again when it was held in 2013)...I just can never pass up any chance to see Clapton, especially when it's with his friends, and despite being called "Eric Clapton and Friends in Concert : A benefit for The Crossroads Centre in Antigua". Over the years it just became known as "Eric Clapton's Crossroads Tour". And instead of lasting just a few incredible hours, as Eric realized the extent of his reach into the music community, it's grown to a full day event. I've been going to see him play, anytime he's been anywhere near the NY City area since his Slowhand Tour in '78. I've never missed a Tour, and always try to get tickets for more than one show. And in the countless Shows I've been blessed to see, I've never left a single one feeling like it was anything less than incredible, or that there were other songs I'd have preferred to hear. The man is just an absolute LEGEND. One of the greatest guitarists who've ever lived. ✌️
My admiration for Eric Clapton started way back with the group called " Cream".He has been dubbed the most iconic guitar player in the world and had me hooked on his 9 minute version of the hit "Cocaine".His rendition of "Tears From Heaven" was painful but glorious for fans.He has maintained consistency and excellence in performances with both a sensual voice and magical riffs.He is the consummate musician.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@simonedevlin7710Couldn't agree with you more. He's an absolute Legend. Only person to be Inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame THREE TIMES. There's nothing he can't do with a guitar. Can't wait to catch him the next time he comes thru NY again. The man is just phenomenal ✌️
I was at this concert and have seen EC about 25 times !!! What I love about him is he always let's other artists shine !! He is the world's greatest living guitar player, he has NOTHING to prove so he let's others enjoy the spotlight. I've seen it time and time again !!
This man has done so much for the music industry his music is legendary his guitar talents exceed all have thought out created an orchestrated with his talents his skill sets just a true master you can only be proud of this man and what he has done for everyone with the music he has written and played for us for all these years he is giving us giving us so much joy throughout our livesThank you Eric so very much!!🎤🎸🎤🎸🎤🎤🎸🎸
My favorite song of his, the passion & emotion. And a reminder that we all have that "one' we cannot get over, & the "one" we compare those that come after to - better still the "one" that will make us forget the past The guitar is an extension of his soul, a voice
It’s an amazing song and all so true. Bold in your face, then subtle caresses then blasts of fireworks back to Anger, confusion and feelings of betrayal, but eventually returning to longing.
Never will there ever be another Clapton. He's the very greatest guitar player. Derek Trucks is another brilliant guitarists. His guitar playing is instrumental in the making of music come to life. I love these guitar players and Mark Knopfler. Awesome
@DonnaWestbrook-dz 1hp, Derek is phenomenal, and I love when he was sitting next to JJ Cale and Eric Clapton (Anyway The Wind Blows) and he was playing, and watching everything they did. 😊❤
Just found this, can't stop enjoying in repeat mode. Great quality recording. Clapton unmatched, but Tim Carmon's keyboard solo is the icing on the cake😋... so creative, innovative, awesome. Thanks for sharing!
Wow! Does it get any better than this, other than being there in the moment, up close and connected? Such passion, giving the music life and spirit, touching and filling the heart. I continue to be in awe of what this man can bring to life. Positively the best!
…and his on stage performances with other just magnify his presence, talent, leadership and mentoring those who follow in his footsteps. He IS legendary.
Just really too good I'm sitting in my front porch with my Bluetooth speaker cranking out Eric Clapton and it don't get no better than this. 🇺🇲🦅🎸🎙️🎼🎶🦅🇺🇲
Só eu acho o som dessa guitarra o melhor de todas que o Eric já usou?? Esse timbre, esse grave, incrível, guitarra linda, perfeita, e acho que esse trabalho foi um dos melhores da carreira do Eric, adoro! QUE PERFORMANCE!! EU AMO ERIC CLAPTON!!!
@TobiasTS eu também curti muito o som dessa strato, os captadores não soam magros como o de uma strato tradicional. E essa Banda hein? Músicos e backing vocals de alto quilate! Sam Brown que também fez Backing para o Pink Floyd no Pulse gravado no Wembley Stadium em 1994.
There's something really crazy about how many amazing guitar players come from UK in the 60s and 70s... Clapton, beck, Gilmour. Harrison , Brian May, Blackmore , page ... I can keep increasing this list going on for long time.
it starts playing…and it's magic…every note makes me dream and gives me serenity…thanks Eric for the gift you give us by playing music that tugs at the heart strings. By Silvia ❤
this would have to be my favourite single song live performance i've seen of eric clapton, the composition, the execution, the band, the soul, will never fail to take me to the greatest heights of inspiration whenever i watch and listen to it. Magic!!!
Ningún guitarrista te lleva donde lo hace clapton, siempre lo esperas y en el momento menos esperado té traspasa. Su guitarra te trae al momento presente y te hincha el pecho de la emoción, erizándote cada poro de la piel. Su guitarra se convierte en una experiencia espiritual.
Clapton can play as well as any other guitarist. But he only does what he is compelled to do at the moment. He's really not about trying to impress anyone. His playing has feeling. It's not about impressing anyone.
Bad man the best 🎸 guitar player ever. Can play any kind of music, but best of all......the blues. His a maestro, a bad ass player but most of all a legendary legend. Can never b forgotten, ONE OF A KIND.
I was lucky enough to have been at MSG this night….total out of body show…….Eric and Band ( and guests) at the top of the craft…….amazing to see it now…..this recording is next best thing Kim 😁☮️
Such amazing depth and breadth of emotion. He looks like he is in pain playing and singing. Enticing for sure. How could you resist someone with so much love on display?
What an amazing performance and an amazing recording. Wow! I wish I had been there. I think I know who most of the musicians are, but I am not sure of a few, and there are one or two I cannot name at all. I would love it if someone who knows could write a list in these comments.

Thanks Eric for the usual brilliance of this superb song.

Long time ago, people said, "I wish I were a bird". Same has gone for so many guitarists who have got fames and they said "I wish I could play such tunes on guitar like Jeff Beck".
Clapton's a sublime guitarist who can make a guitar scream, cry & sing in equal measure. A truly magical, musical maestro....
you are so ordinaris right. he is genius.
Stevie Ray Vaughan 🤡

They can try but won't succeed!
His soul is in his music so they can try all they want but he will never be replicated. ❤ Forever Fan ♥

Was this his nothing but the blues tour..if so I was there
@@hurricane827 Pretty sure this was his first Crossroads Festival. I'd have to dig thru a mountain of stubs to be sure
His guitar tone is always so pure and melodic... never forced... that's why they call him SLOW HAND.
Actually, it was because he was slow to give a hand helping move the Yardbird’s kit.
Amen brother
Actually I read he got the nickname for re stringing his guitar so slowly lol. Who knows
He could play so fast it was like looking at a bicycle wheel . When a bike wheel is spinning fast, it appears to go slow in reverse
I was at this concert and have seen EC about 25 times !!! What I love about him is he always let's other artists shine !! He is the world's greatest living guitar player, he has NOTHING to prove so he let's others enjoy the spotlight. I've seen it time and time again !!

In 2024 too
That bass introduction!! And then Eric coming in alongside. Sends shivers down my spine every time I listen. Beautiful. Just beautiful.
Here we are in 2024 and still just amazing as ever. Timeless and classic EC, the Maestro.
This performance shows why he's one of if not the greatest ever Those who say he's boring and predictable. You can't be serious..
Clapton's the only guitarist who can make a guitar scream, cry & sing in equal measure. He's a truly magical, musical maestro....
Amen to that
This is the best “old love”that I ever heard, Eric !,
