Eric Clapton & Derek Trucks "Why does love got to be so sad" Live 2007 (Multi angle)

[hungerstriker27]

really... maybe dereck is the best player alive... joe bonamassa maybe? i dont know, dereck its more spotaneous and versatile

[hungerstriker27]

look at the face of the master... eric.... in 5.36. i have no words

[theseventhprotocol]

Derek is Duane reincarnated ! It's in his genes.

[billinhp]

wow all this vitriol amongst fans - i thought they looked they were having a blast playing together on a great tune - and ec gets to play a song he seldom gets to play the way it was originally done since duane only played three gigs with the dominoes - oh well - i kind of think these guys like one another -

[lesguit78]

Duane reincarnated

[dagoninfinite]

Fat boyo trucks plays good guitar, he's nowhere near as talented a composer as eric was in his prime though. Eric's finished too. His last album's crap of the year.

[jkryanspark]

It's so nice to hear shades of Duane Allman in a modern day guitarist. Derek, obviously listened to his father Butch's records and probably to hours of stories of the legendary late Brother. Now, with a mushroom tattooed on his ankle, he is taking his place among the elite. And EC gets better with each passing year.

[5150OU81219]

the best thing about all this arguing is that everyone is talking big just cause its on the internet...how sad

[dankgeetar]

Some people are born to play... others are born to argue about the playing

@iluvyu2127,

I'll go one better, pussy. I'll personally beat your face from here to Sunday and back. You wanna piece of me gay boy? Your mothers a whore and your fathers a petaphile. Your taste in music is disgusting and Clapton and trucks suck and sleep with each other. How's that girlyboy? Next time you try to squeeze the "Bluesman" you will get your face caved in and go to the hospital. Any questions...PUNK

[hungerstriker27]

dereck.... did the same hendrix.... he beat god in this one

[ebay9302]

Aegis90, Oh Ya, how wood u like a fat lip chuber! Don't ever qustion my coments or "You goin to the hospitol" stopid! EC giutar sound like shit tone and u can stik u haed in the toylet bozo!!

[iluvyu2127]

@ebay9302

u are a jackass and I dare U to threaten me U , S.O.B

[ebay9302]

You're mine chris111111ish. "You're goin to the hospital". Don't ever say a word to me again ass wipe!

[chris111111ish]

@ebay9302 when and where d bag clapton is god derek is in his prime very true daaaaaaaaa///

[hungerstriker27]

ok.... i think eric is god.... but damn.... dereck is a genious.... people always compre him to joe bonamassa. ím a joe´s fan.... but joe it´s an incredible performer... but he dont improvise this

[hungerstriker27]

i´ve owned a strat a tele a jag an lp an es 335,,,, i never like the sg... then i saw dereck

[letterbekmen]

Eric is such a juxtaposition of blues. He started out as a jazz guy with Cream ( kicked ass) and somehow became a big bluesguy (as a Brit) his strat sounds anything but a strat, like the tone is always rolled down, also a bit buddy on the solo

[ebay9302]

Hopefully Derek will stay close to his roots. Many great young players forget that and end up sucking. He doesn't seem to have a big ego....YET....he could be the best thing since sliced bread. Clapton? He doesn't have it anymore on guitar, good thing he can still sing. But what a Fat Ass, a real arrogant SOB! That's one alcoholic that should start drinking again. When you see a fat old hack like Vince Gill out play him you know it's time to just put it down and rent a wheel chair!

[chris111111ish]

@ebay9302 eat shit and die

[ebay9302]

Check out how much louder EC is through most of this...and distorted, while Derek totally kicks his ass, especially with tone. EGO MANIAC and if one goes back through time and listens he almost always makes sure his volume buries the other guitarist. If that arrogant prick asked me to play I would hand him my dick! Spoken by: "The Bluesman" and spoken well....

[theatlantisrise]

@ebay9302 Eric is definitely a narcissist, but he certainly can play (not saying he belongs on blues' Mt. Rushmore though), and his singing voice is fantastic. I agree that a real gentleman who knows he's being outplayed turns his volume down...Derek's just started to hit his potential though, this was 07, you gotta hear stuff from his most recent tour, he absolutely TEARS IT UP!

[Aegis90]

@ebay9302 What an overinterpretation of EC's louder output. Please give some examples on other concerts where EC buries the other guitarist. He rarely have guitar inter plays with the other guitarist like this so that narrows your search a lot. Good luck

[ebay9302]

dont ever tels me wut to say jirk! i dose and says wut ever i wonts! you mothire fokers! stik it op you ass priks!!!!!!!!

[ebay9302]

Clapton started his downhill decent when he lost Albert Lee to Emmylou Harris. Every record and every performance since has been worse and worse. He's like a 65 year old playing professional sports....give it up "Chump". Let these young and great musicians do "their" thing and you get your old tired ego driven ass out of their way. Start boozing again and maybe you'll get a deal in your own rehab facility; once a drunk, always a drunk! Please, for the love of God and my ears! Yep "The Bluesman"

[ebay9302]

Derek has two big things keeping him from being that BIG. He is a great player....BUT....he doesn't sing and he way over plays most of the time, that is a big NO NO in the "blues" business. He sounds great in this song but he just doesnt know how to put space between his notes. Remember this, the time when you don't play is just as important as the time you do play, so he lacks half of the art. Spoken well by the one, the only "The Bluesman" from Atlanta. YA, YA, YA BABY!

[ebay9302]

Youve got to wonder why EC plays with these young kids. Why? Because his egos too big. Why do you think he does all these reunion gigs but not with Albert Lee? Ill tell you why people; Albert Lee would wipe the stage off with his ass. Clapton has to use total distortion, like a big crutch whereas Albert Lee plays perfectly clean and incredible even at his age. Even Trucks stuffs it down ECs distorted throat, horrible tone through those "Active", baby wash my diapers, pickups....Waaaaaa! Retard!

[theatlantisrise]

@ebay9302 I agree with that Clapton is horribly egotistic. His feel has almost gotten worse with age, and he's stuck playing the same licks in tunes where they dont fit at all. But he is definitely blues legend for his original contributions to music and for his genuine love of the blues. Still, nobody could convince me that Trucks isn't the most exciting and most skilled player alive today making records. He'll go down as the greatest of all-time, bar none in my opinion.

[hotpinktoday]

Oh, yeah, I seriously agree--that look at 5:36 says it all. Trucks is an incredibly gifted guitarist. ♥

[Biker4hd]

Nobody can beat Skydog on any slide work

[inchcape1]

The master and the apprentice!

[funkydudey]

Can it get any better? Derek looks like an angel and plays like one too. That was just beautiful.

[2velcro2]

Greatness, all around from the musicians and this tune from what was one of Clapton's finest eras. Mighty fine!

[theatlantisrise]

This is the moment Derek waited for all his life. And being the virtuoso that he is, he's now better than Clapton, or any other guitar player, ever could have dreamed of being. At 32, I think he's on pace to go down as the greates pure player to ever pick up an electric sixwire.

[tomfong292]

Eric Clapton need to retire, slip back into alcoholism, and apologize for stealing George Harrison's wife.

[rockinredneck57]

Poor Clapton is playing his ass off and Derek is just cruising along about half bored wishing he could really cut loose.

[robinjones251]

@rockinredneck57 - If DT ever went through shredding phase he grew out of it. At about 12. The guys a monster, chop-wise, and especially taste-wise.

[Acyberspook]

Epic!

[hefner311]

@Acyberspook Damn, that's exactly what I was getting ready to post because I was thinking it all the way thru the vid, until I saw yours. You nailed it. Thumbs up

[Chumsychump]

Yep Clapton is god.

[bluelibra65]

eric has been doing it way too long, - young derek put a well-deserved shoe up his ass....................

[drekobrbec]

This song is awesome man! Why it isn't on Crossroads Guitar Festival DVD? Shame. :/

[metart93]

5:36 : One of my favorite moments of this, idk why really, i think it's just to see Eric Clapton, (God) have a "holy shit, you got me with that one!" moment and Derek ( who was actually named after Derek and the Dominoes) just jamin along. idk, just gives me goosebumps

[ahz123]

Tremendous.

[MrGeorgeks]

beast mode



[ALLofaKINDBAND]

@MrGeorgeks

Total beast mode.

[ummagumma21]

Derek > Eric

[wootoodoo]

@ummagumma21 nah just different. Eric's playing is slower but more deliberate, with more emotion too

[chiefsrw1]

@wootoodoo I don't know about that. I don't think anyone plays with more emotion than Derek. Just my opinion

[MiRee446]

@ummagumma21 Derek>>>>>Eric

[tintagel65]

Steve Jordan on drums? :-D

[skydogging]

Besides the original studio recording and the "Domino's" live version without Duane , this Clapton and Trucks collaboration is a truly beautiful recording. One of my all time fave songs.

[j3nkins33]

give me just one chance to do that.  looks like so much fun

[db0130]

Just beautiful - what a duet between Derek and Eric at the end!

[B0sc0e]

Amazing version of a GREEEAT song! 5-stars!

[goldensleeves]

Turn Derek up!

[Hb35Jazz]

Awesome!
