Eric Clapton: Forty Four

[VioletGiraffe]

Best version I've heard, IMHO. Howling Wolf's included.

[ngliza]

Yeah Mr Clapton ..

[myunknownvirus]

Weak imitation of the Wolf. Waste of space.

[dtreeguy]

F-ing great. Goosebumps..

[sprague49]

It's amazing he can play with so much gain without that big jazz box feeding back. Try that at home.

[jd51452]

Have you heard the Little Feat version from their debut album? Pretty impressive work from Lowell George.

[chalftits]

@jd51452 I have. I still think RL Burnside's version is better than howling wolfs

[bran1226]

he sounds like a drunk china man, howlin wolf is the real deal, not this corny clown!

[p1ippers]

Colin James does a fantastic version of this as well..

[bobbelibob]

Damn, Clapton. Could you please one day play like this again. I miss you from the cradle.

[zzy66613]

what a voice!

[claptongroupie]

His voice is sooo sexy in this...and his guitar playing ain't too bad either :-)

[jeffedwards1969]

I heard this on tv in the opening credits of unplugged, I think,,, back in the early 90's. I have searches for his version of this song and i can't find it on a CD by Clapton anywhere or on the web as an mp3. Can someone send it to me as an MP3 please if you have it.

[craigjmo]

@jeffedwards1969 I love this version too!Try recording it using sound recorder on your computer.It will record as a WMA file but then you can convert it to mp3 if you know how.

[supsailor1885]

Anybody know what guitar model he was playying?

[mrp356b]

Had the pleasure of seeing this tour in 1995 - simply amazing - Eric paying tribute to those who came before him. Found a DVD on the documentary that Martin Scorsese did. Terrific music. Eric would talk about each song and artist who made it famous before playing the song. A must have DVD for any Blues fan. I bought 2 copies of the DVD incase the first copy wears out.

[StPeteG8r]

This tour.. "Nothin' But The Blues" is one of his BEST !! I saw it at the Omnie in Atlanta..a 3 hour concert..it was simply AWESOME !!

[goblue4105]

they need to put out a live album of this tour, probably his best band ever

[vinegaroon1]

Scorsese looks like an idiot in the opening moments of Shine a Light, first for bringing the Clintons into it at all, then for his silly questions: what are they gonna play? What are they gonna play? Marty, they're gonna play Gimmie Shelter. They're gonna play Monkey Man, they're gonna play Satisfaction, Marty.

[thehurricane33]

It's a Gibson ES350 from the early 1950s.

It sounded great live. I saw him at Sheffield (UK) on this tour but the stadium venues weren't right for this kind of music. Should have been in some sleazy smoky blues club somewhere like New Orleans or Chicago.

I still have a recording on VHS tape of a TV programme broadcast on BBC2 in the UK of the final rehearsals for this tour. See 'It Hurts Me Too' in the related videos over on the right for a clip from that.

[tambourini]

Nnnnnnnnnice!!!

[daschr1]

that's a hot guitar, what is it?

[RedGuitars94]

powerful voice!

[soutltank]

[govtmule13]

[Garret00074]

Eric Clapton...what can you say...

[heidygomajoa]

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡aaaaaaaaaahhhhhh Dios!!!!!!! el papa de mis hijos........

[Tradaxta]

Eric sings this and many more in "Nothing But The Blues".It's a movie-concert by Martin Scorsese.

[d21cohen]

goddamn his voice gives me the shivers! and that distortion i love it.

if ya;ll like this song check out the derek trucks band version. excellent slide work

[farswept]

Yeah, but not even holding a candle anywhere near to Wolf's voice on the original.

[PlasticC4]

Can someone tell me where i can get the lyrics for this song and the guitar tab???

[parafleet]

seriously awesome. godblessU, man.

[quundar]

thanks to Jerry portnoy to save that monument of dullness

[PlasticC4]

Do you know what concert is this??? Thanks

[AbuChowdah]

Man, you're so right.

Once again Clapton's sound man has Portnoy way down in the mix and all the cock-rocking guitar up in the red. Meh. That's what happens when you get a rock retard mixing what is SUPPOSED to be the blues.

[bonnell11]

Your a cum gobbling bitch. Clapton is GOD

[AbuChowdah]

I'm a big fan of Clapton. I was talking about the mixing. Too bad your dad didn't pull out.

[powerkor]

rock retard...lol sounds like a frickin POISEN concert.

[AbuChowdah]

Whatever it sounds like, it ain't blues, LOL. I don't know why he hires guys like Portnoy if the audience can't ever hear them over the guitar.

[specialagentslowhand]

I don't know what it sounded like live, but this was Marty Scorsese's project. I'm not sure how much, if any, input he had on the audio but I know he is a HUGE blues fan and even did a separate documentary on the blues.

[Bluessontlavie]

cause he can
