Eric and famed producer Glyn Johns teamed up for the first time in forty years to record Eric's new album "I Still Do.” When Eric and Glyn sit down around Eric’s kitchen table for a candid conversation with legendary British comedian Paul Whitehouse, we get to witness some truly unique moments. Also included are several live performances of songs off the new album, along with behind the scenes footage of the studio recording.

Eric Clapton is the ultimate Guitar player in the world. To me personally he's one of the greatest in the world of all time. Just love his Guitar playing and his songs.
I'd like to Respectfully Add His Voice to Your Wonderful Comment. Thanks!
My favorite guitar player, I’m here in northern Ga. In the states. Heard all the best. But Eric is my favorite.😊
I find it so strange that there is never any mention of Claptons singing, its always overlooked and he has sung so well for many years.
I agree... exceptional singer and player.
Well I always say his singing is better than his playing.
EC sings well but it is often overshadowed by his superb guitar playing
Eric doesn't know it but he is one of my best friends.
He's a very important man to all of us that loves this blues and rock thing.
And he's not aware he's been my husband for something like 20yrs as well 😂😂
Barbara Profazi Boy he gets about a bit still!
@bluesrockguitar #1; Same here....
good thing he doesn’t know. You might end up like George Harrison.
I absolutely love this man's energy, his staying power, his resiliency, his ability to make incredible music, and am truly amazed by his humility which makes him very sympathetic!
Keep on keeping on Sir Eric!
"Keep Britain white. I used to be into dope, now I’m into racism. It’s much heavier, man."
-Eric Clapton (on stage in 1976)
A true, humble, stand-up guy for sure
@@thealaskapicker8628 Time has proven him right, obviously.
Dear Eric Clapton you have given me the most memorable epic goosebumps and you still do. 🌊💖💖💖💖💖💖
Eric seems happy and relaxed. That's a good place to be at his age.
We can doit!!!!!! m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=3560992563944914&id=100001026151518
Hi Merv, yes I agree. I can see why he and George were so close. I suspect Eric was able to be very comfortable in George's company.
Great to see Eric happy and healthy ... there were many times i didn't think he was going to be with us for much longer.
Thanks for sharing. Awesome and necessary contribution.
Good for him, but his music has lost some of its edge as a result I think.
This is still one of my favorite records. Thank you Eric for All the music over my lifetime. My music teacher in Early primary school introduced me to your music way back when she was named Miss Millie, later becoming Mrs. Pearlstrom. She was one of my favorite teachers, a nice ol' Lady. Still think you should come to Victoria, though come in the beginning of September, NOT NOVEMBER as Ringo did, then complained about the rain. Well Vancouver Island is/was a Rain-Forest and November was, before climate change always the windiest and probably the wetest month of the year. It still has the best climate of all Canada. If you don't wish to come here, and I do understand as the BC Ferry's are expensive now,.....Ridiculously so as a matter of fact. How about one more time in Vancouver. I would love to see you one more time in my time. (B-1967-D. Not Yet 🙂) UA-cam is great, I discover more of your music all the time it seems, or more of the different people you've played with in concert. The young Derek Trucks is just fantastic on the guitar isn't he. I am glad to be able to say I did see SRV here at The Royal Theater, funny cause that used to be a movie theater when I was a kid, saw Star Wars there as most kids my age did in 1977, why I remember that?...... All the very best to you.✌
Wouldn't call myself Eric's biggest fan, (and I've 'followed' him' in one way or another for over 3 decades) but have to admit, every time i watch him with or without a guitar my respect grows and grows and grows. Fantastic stuff. Thanks E.C. for keeping this stuff alive.

-Eric Clapton
Definitely could be described as guitar hero, but not so much as a person
@@thealaskapicker8628 fuk off Picker
@@thealaskapicker8628 how's multi cultural britain working out for you and the girls of rotherham ? shit for brains
In his fall his fall down drunk days (70s), he said some awful shit! While having dear black friends!🤯. I think he “actually” meant it and like many (white) people on a journey, regrets that time. His music is GREAT! What he has done for blues & black musicians is laudable! As a person, though, he is a work in progress!🤷🏽♂️. He doesn’t have to be a saint.
@@thealaskapicker8628He who is without sin may cast the first stone. John 8:7-11 I think Eric has spent a lifetime making amends for *PAST* mistakes.
Clapton has to be the best and healthiest looking 70+ rocker around.
jo smith or possibly jeff beck
after keith richards 😉
jo smith McCartney?
Ringo Starr looks about 30 years younger than he is
Jeff Beck.
All of these comments show how Eric has touched each and every one of us. The common thread I think would be how Eric is able to reach our emotions. I was 13 when Slowhand came out. The radio stations were just killing Cocaine and Lay Down Sally. I was already a huge blues fan and played a little boogie on the piano. When I heard Mean Old Frisco it was all over for me and I had to have that album Slowhand. The Blues took hold of me and at 56 I've never looked back. Eric the world is so much better with you in it....there's a story about you I've read that when you heard Jimi playing in London you said "I might as well put my guitar away". True or not, I'm so glad you kept on and keep on playing - forever in my heart you are. Signed - big fan in Cleveland OH USA.
He’s in a good place now, and I’m happy for him. He’s been a tremendous musical influence on me, thank you Eric!!
But then he got the covid shot, and lost the use of his hands, and most of hi
His friends
When mr. Clapton sings the first song sitting in that chair 🔚 playing the 🎸 he is the epitome of a mississippi delta blues musician. I was born and raised in the delta. I am from greenville. I have been around blues musicians especially Son Thomas and Muddy Waters.
You are high.
He does that song stones in mah passway right on ysss
Hope to see him play in Amsterdam in 2022. Stay save to you all! Greatings from a big fan.
" . . . straight from his heart to his fingers". The perfect encapsulation of a blues guitarist.
HUGE Cream fan here. So glad Eric changed his life around and ended up as such a role-model. I really miss Jack Bruce and Cream!!
Eric has been my muse for over 40 years.......A true master.
Tom (almost) sLowHand!
AGREED!!!!!
AGREED
This is why I love UA-cam👍🎸
Yes ..... as long as I'm running AdBlock, i love UA-cam. lol
The Adblock has made my life complete
“Hey, you, Whitehouse!
Ha, ha, charade you are... “
I can't decide if I enjoyed the music or the conversation more. This was very well done. Makes one want to pull up a chair to the table and just listen, learn and smile.
He’s such a great soul. Love Eric 🥰
The best music interview of 2016. I love that the interviewer was real!
He's Paul Whitehouse - a British comedy legend
I saw Eric Clapton play in Melbourne. Australia back in the early 90's and his playing was like a force of nature.
Seeing Eric smile and chuckle and laugh out loud, sincerely and genuinely... I find myself tearing up. Seeing him so truthfully happy and content... ❤❤❤
Margarita Roxette Orzales who cares? Do you know him?
@@arkteosss - Do you have to know someone personally to be happy for them? I think not. 🙄
LYacky1 very fake
@@arkteosss - Margarita is showing maturity of character and empathy by feeling happy at the happiness of a stranger. You're obviously going through a tough time. I hope it gets better.
@@arkteosss poor you
We are so very Blessed to have Eric in our life time.......
So agree, can't get enough. What will happen after he is gone. I have no other guitar hero who deserves my dedication.
Whoever did the editing of this little piece of history should do about a million more. It's REALLY well done! None of that quick cut "artsy" bs. Brilliant. Dont know who the interviewer is, but I like him a lot too. Very well prepared, respectful and obviously a big fan of EC.
The interviewer is Paul Whitehouse . A very well known English Comedian and Actor . He Fishes with Eric and knows him well .
Absolutely very well done. Never a dull moment and many surprises along the way. I loved the variety of this interview topics and inserts and all the flashbacks that fit like a glove. Also there is the feeling that you are at the table with them. Great job, he really knew what he was doing.
I'm betting Eric did the final editing. As has been said he's an extremely private man.
I found a new admiration for Eric after watching Ed Bradley’s interview. He has been through trials of fire and has come through them tempered like iron. He is one healthy man now.
E.C. got me started playing guitar in 1967. He has always been an inspiration to me. One of the best days of my life was meeting him in 1986 on the island of Antigua at Pizzas of Paradise. He was nice enough to talk with me for about a half-hour. Shaking his hand was the spark in my guitar playing.
This made me think of my Father, his Christmas gifts would be guitar related, Clapton's bio, BB Kings bio, or latest albums etc. Thank You Pop.
The reason why i've always wanted to play the guitar is you thank you Clapton
I’m no expert on the Blues, (it’s not really my music of choice) but Eric is highly versatile and I know a virtuoso perfectionist when I see one. Just a pure genius!
I am so happy for Eric to be happy. Married, his girls. I feel like he's my brother or something. He's always just been the nice guy, who bad things happen to. But, now he's at home in the kitchen with friends...and his directions to his home, with the round about and follow that road...that sounds like my directions to my place! How I wish I had a neighbor like him. Or any musician that I could listen to play guitar in the evening.
The only artist that can make me stop in my tracks when I hear him... Always the best.... Class act...
Amongst all the rehabbed celebs, Clapton is the one I respect most.
I've been a huge fan for decades so this really was special to me! When he mentioned the "Home" was coming to get you I laughed out loud!!! You will never be old to me. Let's just stay young at heart forever via the music we love so much that comes from your soul. The world is a better place because of the musical gifts you've shared with us since your journey with a guitar began. God bless and thank you!!! :)
Yeah Gail that's about it!
mick griffin jnn
Gail
Well said.
AMEN
A craftsman sees through the lens of craft. Eric and Glyn Johns are talking about recording techniques that aren’t rock(et) science, but that 95% of musicians wouldn’t be able to deliver live - or in a studio - because they can’t play well enough without effects or correction. This film is instructive on what musicianship and humility is. There’s not a single moment of arrogance. It’s a masterclass in raw talent and quiet self-assurance.
Ovais Your comments are absolutely dead on, well said.
chansfor thank you! It’s a great show and a great lesson.
this man can still do it. to sing and play Robert Johnson that well, you have to still love blues.trends come and go, but blues will always stay w/ EC.
This man’s talent is other-worldly ❤️🥰
That would be the highlight of my life to take an afternoon and sit and talk and jam with Clapton and those guys…an amazing atmosphere
I can feel it just watching the video 👍
There’s 2 great moments: Clapton alone in his room playing a Robert Johnson song. The other is at 1:22 when Whitehouse pulls up to Clapton’s house looks around, and says “there’s more money in ripping off old blues men…”
Some people just cannot get it that not everybody started playing guitar to "Get Chicks". Some are just destined to answer a calling. Also, the amount of time it takes to get proficient, on the instrument, often lends itself to a solitary existence, at least for a period of time.
My teenage years were like that. School and guitar. Nothing else for four years.
I've also heard that ego is the driving force behind playing guitar. This isn't always true either. Some people are just born to do it, as if it were predetermined.
If there is no love for what you are doing, it is noticed, and you won't go far with it. Eric is self-evasive because he loves guitar and keeps his ego in check. He doesn't play because he has to. He plays for the love of the craft.
Stephen Garen All of that is true. We can’t forget he has grown up a hell of a lot since we first met his work. As you would expect after 5 decades. Nice genuinely humble man
Self-evasive? Self-effacing maybe.
The greatest players have humility
@@Sarvasaha All the heavies are as light as a feather. They have no need for ego.
Paul "there's more money in ripping off old Blues Men than in comedy, look at the cars...." Many a truth is said in jest 👏
Everybody rips everybody... Jimmy ripped Buddy Guy, B.B. ripped Booker White, it goes on.
@@Spartanm333 Gosh you are knowledgeable! Who did Albert King copy?
@@SteveGouldinSpain Gosh thanks. I would imagine Albert had a host of influences including delta blues artists like Bukka White and Robert Johnson, maybe Muddy Waters out of Chicago. Albert was heavy handed, a big man with large hands and fingers which contributed to his unique tone. Stevie Ray Vaughn, a skinny white ass of a boy, attempted to emulate this with 12 / 13 strings, overwound Texas specials and two in line TS8s. He also used two amps on stage to boost this further. This really pissed Albert off and he accused SRV of stealing his licks. How did I do Steve?
@@Spartanm333 not bad actually! BTW I saw Albert live in London and you're right about his hands. Matter of fact everything about him was big. Standing in front and watching him gave me the sense of having a dumper truck driving towards me!! :-)
Your point might have some merit if Albert King actually sounded like T-Bone Walker but he actually doesn't, so use your ears instead of the Newgrove book of Gospel, Blues, and Jazz.
Very Nice....I could listen to Eric talk music for hours
Would love to sit down with him for just 30 minutes, and just pick his brain.
I prefer listening to him play...just sayin'
Anytime I listen to him, I feel I'm listening someone who's part of my family. I grew up with him since I was 14, now I'm 52 and I still love him like a friend, a relative. He probably doesn't know, but he's my best friend. ❤️
Amazing! After listening to Eric for 30 years, his playing and singing still blows me away!
the 507 comments of love and respect before me have said it all. The way Eric and Glyn talk about the dark days of addiction without drama is such a powerful message. EC has taken ownership of that time and, most importantly, not forgotten it. And yes, he is still handsome.
Love you like a brother Mr. Clapton. Please keep performing for us as long as you can.
Here is a guitar player that brings joy to million of people's lives with soulfull songs. For me, 641 always makes me smile.
love how Eric is down to earth , praises Glyn for his ability to spot a sound or cord that they could use
Would tune in again just to hear Eric recite the phone book! The friendship with JJ Cale has taught me profound things. Many thanks
I'm a simple man.. I see Eric Clapton I hit "like".
Very interesting film, thanks for uploading it! I've been a huge fan of Eric's since his time in The Yardbirds, and have always loved his playing. Despite his legendary status as a guitarist, he's actually very modest about his extraordinary virtuosity...almost embarrassed by it in a way. I remember seeing him at the Blind Faith concert in Hyde Park where he seemed to deliberately avoid playing in the typical style of a 'guitar hero', which a lot of the audience resented...they wanted more Cream! The thing I love about Eric's playing is the emotion in it, that feeling which so many technically brilliant guitarists often don't have. God bless you Eric, and thank you for the music!
Love you Eric... best white man" alive " who can play the blues with a heart and soul!
Eric bourdon?
I'll say it again...there is no other like Eric Clapton and there will never be...I just know I've followed him from the start of his career and I am still following him
I love you Eric
For a guitar player myself Eric is a very big influence in why I wanted to play from the beginning and still is because he continues to inspire and make relevant music that is so good to listen too. Thanks Eric for all the wonderful music
God Bless you Eric for all that you've given us. I will cry the day we lose you.
A bit callous to take for granted that you will be there that day. You must be quite young to have that sense of immortality, but remember that it is an illusion and realize that you comment was, at best. patronizing.
well Jack, I'm tempering my desire to be a snarky prick so instead I'll be happy to inform you that I'm in my 50's and painfully, personally aware of mortality so your assumptions are not only embarrassingly wrong but you've managed to take 2 sentences and extrapolate something entirely detached from my heartfelt honor and respect for EC. And get a dictionary because you don't understand the definition of patronizing. Again, God bless you Eric. You have filled my life with joy.
Jacques Gilbert I'm confused
I think that's obvious.
Love this soul to the moon. There will never be a way to sum his contribution
paul whitehouse is brilliant in this.....the whole thing is brilliant but paul’s humour just makes it sail .....lovely lovely
I’ve been listening to Eric Clapton for past 50 years (from my teens), 🇦🇺
the things i would do to just sit with Eric for a few hours and just noodle around pointlessly on a guitar together would really complete my life such an incredible man and musician a true idol
This is just brilliant, so natural & honest. Honestly, I've not seen ANYTHING like this before. The chemistry is priceless.
Eric your music has been a help of me getting sober you are a reason i am still on this ball call earth i can relate to you so much thank you very much for putting yourself out there
Clapton is the one guitarist that anytime I hear him I stop what I’m doing and listen.
I've just looked at the clock!! It's 3:30 in the morning! I've returned from busking guitar outside tonight...my ride was late...but after my jacket was off and my beverage settled...I've come across this Paul Whitehouse video.
And he's in Eric Clapton's morning room with Glyn John's talking about " I Still Do"...a CD...I've been prevented from hearing...so all the songs are fresh as the bread from a French bakery.
And they re all fairly good...at least the parts I'm privileged to hear...and there's this guitar player with a spooky smooth voice...very bluesy...sounding like he's revived Robert Johnson. Perfectly.
But it's the guitar playing...the rhythms in the song...have a brushed fingers style with a timely thumbing of the top E and A...which, together are next to impossible for Mr...but sounds amazingly consistent throughout....Have I complemented the host yet for the batch of flowers in the vase by the window yet ? Amazing.
But for the music....very very good throughout. I'm keen to buy it and possibly have my bus driver play it loudly whilst I'm riding...a barreling sound in the city bus you know...good, if he keeps the windows and doors closed.
Fat chance of that if the evening driver switches...he's not much for creative things but I digress.
A foreign lady once, gifted me while I was busking in the center of our city, with a crate of rootabaggas...a racy cabbage looking dirt veggie popular in Moldova Soup Kitchens, I was in the middle of a song and don't favour interruptions much...so I just gave her a look of mild disapproval...but as soon as she came, she left in a hurry...I wasn't halfway into the next verse and two market policemen rounded the corner in a panic...and stopped in front of me as I just finished the song.
" where'd you get the crate of rootabaggas?" The older one asked.
" they were gifted to me" I said
" Do you realize" He said tersely " that you re in possession of stolen goods"
" I'm technically NOT in possession of them" I offered " but I was gifted them by a kind east European lady in a rush. Either I'm just keeping an eye on them whilst she finishes her shopping or she's meant to give them to me. She spoke a foreign language"
" Are you admitting they re yours now?" He pressed onward.
Eric in his early 70s... He has to be the coolest older musician out there. The people and things he has lived through, befriending Hendrix, the Blues burst of the mid to late 60s, being labelled as God and how he has kept progressing.
What a dude.
Also, I Still Do is a brilliant album, it's real chilled out and just so musically tasteful, as would be expected from a Clapton album, I'd buy it again if for whatever reason I had to!
Thankyou Eric Clapton! :)
I would like people to know that Eric's Grandma Rose was one of the most humble nicest people...ever !
I've got to say, what Paul said about the old people's home was absolutely hilarious!
satchfan2010 when? What comment?
Fantastic video! More of these please we get to know more about Ec and the wonderful people around him.
+ AllieCatOfficial
Don't listen too closely, do you? Listen to the section from 36.15 onwards. Paul Whitehouse (the interviewer) says "well, I think its time for you two gentlemen to go back to the [old folks'] Home..." To which Clapton reacts, comically, "Is the van [from the old folks' Home] here?" Then he and Paul Whitehouse start an impromptu comedy skit - Clapton (obviously pretending to be a decrepit old man, says "I've had a nice day sitting in the sun...can you wheel me (referring to his pretend wheelchair) nearer the sun...?" Whitehouse then imitates Clapton as an old folks' home inmate, "I've got a new album out..." Then Whitehouse pretends to be the driver of the van "...[disbelievingly] - "course you have, Mr Clapton..." Is it that you simply don't understand irreverent British humour? Everyone in the UK would have picked up that "comedy" section of the video.
And if you were expecting Paul Whitehouse to be more reverential and "respectful" to Clapton, as an American interviewer undoubtedly would have been, you obviously don't know that Whitehouse is a highly successful individual in his own right (as a professional TV comedian and actor), not an interviewer by trade. As such, he is less inclined to be "overawed" by who Clapton is. In any case, he is a close personal friend of Clapton's. Of course he's going to jest with him...
@One Love yeah there's some episodes of 'The fast show' on Y,T. In one Depp is a guest in a sketch---'suit you ,Sir!'----you can feel the enjoyment
Who else to be a fly on the wall in this room, holy shit! God bless E.C…..❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧
Don't mind a shepherd's pie myself. Would be great just sitting with Eric Clapton over a cup a tea and chatting about music. Nice and easy. What a refreshing superstar. Feet firmly on the ground. Nice one, Glyn and Paul too. Thanks.
Mine is Spiral. It's how i feel. the rest are good as well but Spiral plays in my head the most. When i bought the cd it stayed in the player for a week. The title is perfect .'' I still do'' Great job Eric.
I love the atmosphere, here... without pretention... pure...
"Quiet mastership...
Love the music on that track "Catch the Blues". The feel, chord progression, smooth groove. Reminds me of the feel of "Change the World" which is another favourite of mine.
I have loved the man, and his music, for over 50 years. Thanks, Eric, for everything.
Thank You for sharing!
Mr.Clapton is and always will be the GREATEST!
I Love watching the old blokes having fun making music. No one of them has to prove anything anymore. What a wonderful thing to do: enjoy yourself and spread joy to others
The great Andy Fairweather-Low gets around, apart from playing with God [EC] - even at the Assange demo outside the London Home Office, with Roger Waters, a couple of years back. Long gone are the days I stood next to him, in wonder, in the Roundhouse Chalk Farm bar on a Sunday night in the mid-70's before the bands came on, after "Wide Eyed + Legless" hit the world, at a Bryn Haworth gig, i believe, which had Rabbit Bundrick on keys. You can tell a great musician by the albums he's played on - AFL's list must be endless.
Love you so much E.C. :) You're a huge influence to me; mostly taught me resilience.
Brilliantly done. Touch of genius to have Paul Whitehouse over for a chat around the kitchen table. EC seems to be sounding better than ever.
Growing old gracefully one is blessed along with God given gift of guitar virtuosity and vocal emotional range. Cheers Sir.
Thanks Eric, your talents, and zeal for your fine craft helped chart my life !! I'm 59, and doing FINE !!! May God Bless !!
Been a fan since my brother bought the Live at the Albert Hall double CD recorded over a 22 night stint in the late 80's...I think...and always found his story one I could relate to as an ex-addict and 24 years in recovery.
I know his Crossroads Foundation does a huge amount in Antigua, but he also does a huge amount of under-the-radar stuff that by it's very nature goes unnoticed.
Thank you Eric for putting yourself out there we would miss out of so much of history without this stuff . So important to many🙏
How to be older. Wisdom. Rough Mix - great, great LP.
God, Slowhand, Clapton...always on point
Cream changed my life.
Clapton has been a huge influence on a whole generation of guitarists (including me). He certainly was one of the reasons I started playing guitar. Glad he mentioned his own input - mainly the early bluesmen like Robert Johnson (Crossroads live in 1968 on Cream's Wheels Of Fire album: possibly his best performance ever) - and JJ Cale 26:54 who gave without a doubt a new impulse to his career (Cocaine, After Midnight). A great man's life is often made of many smaller men contributing to it… that said without prejudice to his guitar phrasing, recognizable as from the first few notes and his unique and raunchy voice. An icon.
Bloody legend(s), nothing else to say!
Clapton and Paul are very good mates, as they regularly go Fishing together.
I think some people are missing the point that they both wanted a mate,ie Paul to do the interview.
Paul Whitehouse is an English comedian and comedy writer in the UK and a massive Music fan, and I actually think its quite funny that hes treating Eric and Glyn like a mate would and isn't fazed by who they are as 'Stars'.
Is it our English humor perhaps, maybe it comes across as disrespectful to a few people? it really isn't supposed to come across like that at all, Paul is a comedy legend and they really are all good pals!
Who moved to North London when Paul was 4 years old.
Well it wouldn't be Welsh humour, it doesn't exist. They sing and play rugby nicely tho'.
Nothing wrong about the guy, but I think people that watch this video is looking for Clapton and not giving a shit about anyone else.
And Paul Whitehouse is no slouch as a guitarist either
He's keeping it edgy; the other two are mellow lads.
Catch The Blues was my favourite song indeed.
“What do you still do?” Brilliant comment..
Was a banjo picker until arthritis, now it's slide guitar. :) The clawhammer banjo at 3:30 was a ting of beauty. :)
I love Eric Claptons music. U have for as long as I can remember. I first became aware of him with the Slowhand album. From there I backtracked all of his music. I then realized that the music I heard at the age of 8-9 years old coming from the basement of a church as a local rock band practiced was old Cream. Fell even more in love with Eric's music. I was hearing it and loved it but didn't know who it was. Still when I hear a Cream song I go back to those days in Brooklyn as a child. This interview was great! My respect for Eric grows every time I see or hear an interview with him. I Still Do is one of his best. Imho.
I first heard Eric when he played with Cream. Much admiration.
Eric is an excellent vocalist, something for which he may not have been recognized enough due to the excellency of his lead guitar playing.
My musical hero and major influence. God Bless you Mr. Clapton.
I worked with Eric's grandpa, Jack, on building sites around Guildford in the 60's. Jack said one friday, the boys are rehearsing do you want to meet them? I passed up the chance to meet what became Cream and have been kicking myself ever since..........Thanks for making great music Eric.
Thank you for the personal story. You might have missed meeting Cream but you may have saved your hearing by missing that rehearsal! 😉
I LOVE Shepherd's pie.
What a nice Santa gift....
I'll leave an obvious comment on the record: Eric is great.....
A monumental work, complete musician, exceptional guitarist...
Great film. Nice seeing the work behind the scenes. Thanks............
At last it's out! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
This Interview is Honest, loving, and well done.
These 3 and all the sessions musicians love what they are doing, and it sounds true to me.
Eric is a good player, very down to Earth, trying to be honest.
Hello Virginia
Where are you streaming from ?
Mr Clapton, thanks for always being yourself. What a wonderful example of how important it is to always be yourself. Thanks from some random fan from Texas, U.S.A.
Loved the discussion he was having with his friends about his latest compilation "I still do " When he plays his guitar it's still that silky smooth sound he gets that i love the most.
