Dio ti benedica Eric, sei un dio

[AlabamaJackable]

just watched parts 1-5, a morning well wasted. if only every day could start out like this

[TheNigelr]

Interesting how Elvis was taken by and in his own stle promoted the blues.....

[ElvesseTube]

@TheNigelr i believe that because Elvis was so poor growing up, that he early on discovered, he preferred the company of the black community in Memphis, and molded himself in their style growing up as a teenager. By his girlfriend's prom, there is evidence that they both liked the black church they had been attending together rather than their parents'. It influenced him very deeply and he always wanted to show not just respect and charity to the black community, but also identity.

CLAPTON IS GOD

[d4videf]

@2.20 eric is trying to fly

[mark1952able]

P L E A S E~ Is this God given talent or if you don't believe in a God, it comes from somewhere besides just practice! !

[JJoneEIGHTY]

@mark1952able sorry my friend but it IS all about practise! when some guys are out chasing girls or drinking beer other guys are stuck in a room playing there heart out! when you hear someone who is great, what you dont hear are the endless hours/ weeks/years of selfless practise, dedication, commitment and hard bloody work! the beauty of guitar is, you only get what you put into it!

Que dire de plus?

[BucksOwin]

Frighteningly hot!!! "Clapton is God"

[solorising]

Clapton changed my life too about 35 years ago when I first heard him.

[SephynnXx]

This documentary just changed my life. I am 25 years old, grew up on classic rock, prog rock, blues, jazz, classical, and metal music. My whole life I noticed in every genre, blues music sang within that music somewhere. My favorite guitarist of all time and the man who inspired me was David Gilmour. But everyone from John Petrucci and Mikael Akerfeldt, to Page, Beck, Clapton, Hendrix, Vai, Shuldiner, Romeo, all inspired me deeply. BUT CLAPTON JUST CHANGED MY LIFE!

[ulisescervantes]

Those incredible bending notes for the first minute ... to some point it gives the creeps

[Wuotinsheer]

Thanks so much for uploading !!!

[cgabler91191]

Thank you for the post! This is 1995, "Groanin' the Blues", off of his 1994 "From the Cradle" blues album. Terrific blues shredding! And some people have the nerve to say his playing days are over! He was out-soloing Derek Trucks on his 2007 US tour.

[tambourini]

Thanks so much for uploading and sharing all of these!!!

[JOHNNYG99X]

blues is such powerful music wehn played like this

[87CUBuff]

That is NOT "Ain't Nobody's Business." That is "Groaning the Blues."

[willo88]

@87CUBuff - Its "Ain't Nobody's Business" man. Just have a quick search on youtube. Doesn't matter what they're named, its all blues so its all good :)

[87CUBuff]

...and this is why "Clapton is God" was graphiti'd everywhere in Britian back in the day.

[Pennhill007]

Thanks for posting.very very cool for sure...........

[boxingin]

You gotta love the way Eric works the very high frets! Man can he make that guitar scream while he's up there!

[dinbrew]

¿ Quien es el baterista ?

[Youssef51]

That man is buried alive in the blues.

[applebeatle]

I have this DVD..it's amazing..wouldn't sell it for anything.

[xXShesARebel8xx]

real blues is what robert johnson is doing now.

[yesmon4real]

Thanks for posting !

[tit4tat4dat]

Scorsese and Clapton, may they live forever......

[SuperOlds88]

they didnt even cover the most important part of the history of the blues, pre-electric guitar, well barely, were alot more guys than R.Johnson, Robert Johnson copied guys, come on, let here about the real blues, not the wannabe 12th fret screamers, that shit aint blues.

[clint1663]

a guy told me that anything above the 12th fret is showing off... i totally believe it too...

[insensitiveremarks]

a guy told me anything above the 12 is called an octave, used by strings, horns and even percussionists.

wrap your acoustic with13s and bend that g on the 2, then upload it.

whole tone please.

eternal silence is anticipated, clit.

[therealhardrivedave]

awesome reply dude!

[CletusColtrane]

@clint1663

lol.......dumb

[GTWHITEFEVER]

Viccy cake eater im with you ....

[VictoriaEatingCake]

Is this a documentary about Eric Clapton or about the Blues? I thought I remembered seeing this series when it came out, and it seemed to me that it was more about the history of the Blues; covering a greater variety of Blues masters.

[headcase01]

I think this was done in the same way Scorsese did his Jazz series. 6 or 8 sections, each focusing on one worthy person or era and the people who influenced them. I can only hope that's the case here, with EC being just one section of the whole series. Good stuff either way.

[bansheebot2]

@VictoriaEatingCake If you did a documentary about basketball you would use Michael Jordan, right?

[nfsfreak72]

perfection.

[chriscurrey1]

That's such a beautiful ballade...let me go dig up my collection and find it.

[Eyal0987]

what is the name of the last song he's playing?

[musiccuts]

Ain't Nobody's Business. Check out upload by Eue7

[swansizzle]

@Eyal0987 groaning blues/groaning the blues

[JOHNNYG99X]

[skacer89]

es impresionante, realmente es impresionante , no habra nadie como el ,, es impresionante, creo q es mas rapido llegar a un orgasmo cuando toca asi q teniendo relaciones jajajaja...

[musiccuts]

¿Tiene sexo y alcanzar el clímax a esto?

[boxingin]

@musiccuts Tremendo guitarista!

[ulisescervantes]

@musiccuts Well, those bending notes during first minute get close to orgasmic I must admit

[wthjrtx1]

If you read, I said some of them did.

And they do creep me out.

You know alot of boys are going to read these post and you look like a 3rd grade kid that got his milk money taken from him.I meant no pun. Just freaky.

Pass me by, B4 I get redneck on ya and embarass ya !

[wthjrtx1]

I really enjoyed this again. Caught it on PBS.

I'm born and raised on the delta. Been lovin this music a long time.

I read all the comments 1 thru 5.

Boys gotta tell ya, Some of the comments gave me the creeps.

Maybe because I grew up with this music and its a wonderful tribute.

Some of you might consider traveling the south and checking some of these players out first hand.

Of course newer but great players.

Just don't be creepy.

No pun intended

Love the Fuck out of Clapton always have

[PAULOcbi]

'youtube' role model on the loose??,or just another asshole with an opinion , you should of shut-up after" I really enjoyed this..." but you had to call evryone a creep and run away with your nose in the air... I gotta say "your" comment was creepy! this is internet not your livin` room or your church parkin` lot!

[wthjrtx1]

Where in the hell did that come from?

Are you a retard?

I don't mind being called out but damn!

You definitly are not from the delta.

He had to earn the a place with us and he has.

When you grow up hear and see the players on their porches , parks , parties , family get togethers and bars. You are part of it.

My nose in the air?

I'm a little older and Clapton was learning the blues.

He is one now.

You must be a yank and or City guy , is that what offends you sweetie?

[PAULOcbi]

no cutie I dont like assholes like you who call everyone a creep and then ask "where the hell did that come from?' Your comment was creepy.Just dont be so creepy,no pun intended. ............and DONT REPLY .

[BATENKILL]

God dang that solo at the first! son of a bitch thats good

[joesterking]

where is gallagher

[bc1969214]

You mean Rory? Why would he be on this special which is by Scorsese on Clapton and his influences?

[HFC36]

Clapton said that Rory was "the man that got him back into the blues". So you could say he's an influence. Rory's fucking awesome, but Clapton is my god.

[shakeshaftthomas]

wats the song at 4:50

[vizeck]

wo such an awesome post.

i ran into this looking for the one he filed on SRV. does anyone know if this was posted ?

[ronaldclapton81]

wow one of the best periods from erics career this period in the nineties

[nameofthepen]

Lawd hev mercy! :D

MusicCuts - thanks for the awesome upload. :-)

[Tezman82]

What dd he mean in the last clip, when h said that Otis Rush "played with his fingers"?

[fusionlotus]

I think hemeans playing with his fingers, as apposed to playing with a guitar pick. Maybe?

[unclesamfatg]

you don't play with your fingers but with your heart.

[cl0udtop]

that would sound quite squishy

[Anaben11]

and with your dick

[alphadogstudio]

@fusionlotus That is correct

[zfinet3]

what's the name of the song at the end

[musiccuts]

The song at the end is "Ain't Nobody's Business"

[rvz77]

: o

[threedognightrocks]

WOW

[thailow117]

clapton gets frightingly better with age. on here you find performances from recent years and he plays circles aroud his cream heyday.

awesome guitar player. also checkout his videos with scotty moore.

[victor2775]

he plays great now but not even close to how he played in cream, back when he used the gibson sg with its amazing sustain that he got from running it a full blast with his marshall amps. listen to my videos of him in cream.

[thailow117]

thanks...

[Funkenstein250]

i think that both eras of clapton are great..i wouldnt say one was better than the other...i think now he is shooting for a more traditional blues aproach..even when i see him perform cream stuff its a little less rocky now. but his cream playing is classic.

[anthony0803]

cream playing is better now, the royal albert hall shows from 05 are probibly the best blues concerts ever, three guys just pouring music out of their souls :)

[bc1969214]

I remember interviews back in the 80s with him where he mentioned he hoped the record company would let him do more blues stuff. Guess they feel he finaly earned it. ;)

His soundtrack stuff is also great. Love the one he did with Sting for Lethal Weapon as well as Edge of Darkness for (I believe) British TV in the early 80s.

[madamkirk]

@thailow117 his chops are the same but just faster I agree

[badmuddy]

oh, that's not even close to being true. really, he hasn't played anything since cream that he didn't play (& SOUND) better doing back in the late '60's, & a major component was the platform jack & ginger brought to the equation. & ginger has always made eric's phrasing more sinewy & compelling. he's sounding pretty close to that here (especially on the 335), but he STILL falls back on that pedaling on the g/b strings cliche he started doing when he switched to a strat in '70, which i ABHOR...

[ThatWhalingBand]

It seems Clapton really loved that '64 ES-335; his tone is so breathtaking when he picks that one up....he sold it at auction for his Crossroads Centre for $800,000....he had that guitar since 1964......

[chronos46]

thanks for this

[heavenisearth]
