Classic clapton, always put's on a good show, U know what U are going to get with him, a fcking sweet deal, people expect to much of him, the thing that made him so popular was, he was one of the first guys to get that nice rock tone, the sweet thick tone that makes me cream every time he plays the guitar, could listen to him for hours, it is like a never ending array of bliss
@OrchidTigress1 I have also seen him live 2 times, people expect to much of him, he is famouse for getting that nice overdrive rock tone before anybody else, and he made it sound sweeter than anybody else, simple is sometimes better, in fact it is 9 times outta 10 better, clapton made simple riffs sound amazing, layla is a classic, he adds his flavor 2 it, people try to emulate it, but they never seem to get it like him, he is a rock legend, people can say what they like, he is laffing not them
its funny how some people play loud tune's when they drive by,they don't know what real music is.that stuff they play is cancer to all ( perverted and stolen ).
Joey, real music is how some people express themselves when words aren't enough. To equate what we mean by putting your "soul" into music to some religion shows you don't (or refuse to) know. Play the same notes that Clapton or Windwood play without the soul or the emotion, the magic, the whatever it is, and it's just a technical exercise. People might say, "He sure can play that guitar." But they wouldn't be moved because it would be empty.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
what the fuck is soul? it's a retarded concept. Greatest guitarists can only legitimately by skill. That's why only guitarists of nowadays are better. Believe in soul? why not believe in Jesus? that shit is retarded I'm just being honest
@joeybonesgnarly It is a concept that means to put your feelings into your music. That's why you can listen to this music and be able to tell how the artist was feeling when they created the song. Most artists don't understand that nowadays and that is why more and more people are starting to listen to this music again.
@paulbattin you cannot literally insert feelings into a song. For all you know he just acts like he's emotional and really just puts on a show. If I was to go back in time, look exactly like Clapton, and play exactly what he played acting exactly how he did then I would get the same reaction from the audience. You might feel that you can relate to them because the song is written well and appeals to you, that's actually the goal of most artists.
The song has one of the finest guitar duets ever performed. In the original in comes in twice with them switching the lead back & forth in the second - sounds like it must have been made especially for headphones. This performance is good but check out the Madison Square Garden DVD for a better version.
What I want to know, why the fuck are all these session artist up with Clapton and Wnwood? Fly in Ginger from fucking South Africa and get a bassist and perform it like its original form. This version reminds me of some rock opera shit. Disappointing.
@TheRobnificent I agree with you on all the tracks from this concert on YouTube. I saw EC back in the 80s and he seemed a lot more "raw". This seems overproduced (for my taste). YMMV.
@TheRobnificent Doyle Bramhall, Oteil Burbridge or Derek Trucks cannot, by any stretch of the imagination, be considered "session' musicians". A ludicrous idea. It probably seems overproduced because live sound recording and production have advanced greatly in in the last 25 years.
@mrmott44 Ginger is great, i don't think there is any doubt about that, but i think they were trying to create a richer sound, hence extra guitarests, I like the original version as well as this, really great work by these guys after all these years, i had the album when it was released, hot stuff in it's day and still is...
Wow, after watching this video and the Blind Faith in Hyde park London that Eric and Steven performing together and currently reading Clapton's biography that it seems like that I am living in the past... lol... wow, what a moment. I wish i was there.
Thunderous! I remember when the BF album came out, we just wore it out. Winwood is an enigma of sorts among the greats of the 60s in that we have never heard details of his marriage or any substance abuse rumors, etc. I think he's a pure musician without much of any 'public image' and I'm sure he likes it that way. He made a lot of money on his 80s hits and now he makes music for himself without the pressure to have another hit single. God bless him, he is one of a kind.
relax. if they are lucky, youngsters will rediscover john mayall, the stones, allman brothers band and clapton and then trace it back and inspire a new post apocolyptic generation.
or alien egg masters from alaska, in a generational revolution, will be getting off on it after our demise to arlo's alice's restaurant massacre.

don't matter. we enjoyed one of the greatest universal roadside attractions ever.
@journey46 some have discovered the old greats, im 17 and i was brought up on great music such as eric clapton, and i show all my friends the greats i got aloada my mates into jimi hendrix, blues has died down among younger folk but it isnt deaad yet !! :D
This was just one of those times when the band just clicked. It happened a lot back in the early 70's with Delaney and Bonnie and Leon Russel and Dave Mason and Joe Cocker when everyone just jammed on each others records.
Steve Winwood is amazing for his guitar and vocals.
Lot of people baggin on EC lately but he's nearly just like everybody else, he has his bad days and his god days.....LOL
weird... this video (real music) has 440,000 views but any person even he has no voice, if he covers lady gaga with guitar.. it is being +1million views... where is the fair world?
netipus & ogenmatic, ya both just took the words right outta my mouth, or picked my brain...just looked at Winwood and said wow, since he was 15, right? And then I thought, damn that drummer's goooood!! great minds think alike
I wish more people of my age listened to Clapton I'm 18 and I only know about a handful that do. I truthfully think that he is one of the best guitarists to listen to along with Stevie Ray Vaughn, Steve Vai ,Joe Satriani, Jeff Beck and Joe Petrucci just to name a few.
EC&SW school everyone in how two guitars can play lead at the same time and not step on each other. Doyle Bramhall & Derek Trucks share a smile as if to say, "Can you believe we are here, doing this?"
Clapton's smile at the end to Steve and their hug shows the love and appreciation that only a long time friendship elicits. These guys are the real deal.
Absolutely played from the heart and that is why it stands the test of time. The players may have aged, but their chops and emotional input into the music has only gotten better over the years, like a fine wine.
This is what the majority of the new music today is lacking, emotion and SOUL, either you have it or you don't. It's not something you can learn. It's got to come from the fire inside that totally consumes you.
This song leaves me wanting. New music today has a different feeling to it. In the old days, music was something where you could tell the musicians were getting lost in their emotions, whether it be anger, misery, or anything else. the music reflected the feelings. Nowadays the music (even blues) is in your face and doesent really have any feeling to it other than cockyness. While this is good sometimes i just wish there was some more emotional music like this coming out.
@crazonianmaster You're right, of course. Music companies and their producers' aim for some pseudo-perfection has killed the feel and passion in music. Kate Bush made this clear when denying the perception of her as a perfectionist... Great music should emote and it can only do this if the artist can play without fear. When the artist can get lost in the music and, in playing it, can impart the very emotion that the piece generates in them.
@crazonianmaster I agree.. a lot of the music today, not all, is 'self glorification' and show.. autotune instead of authentic voice and computer sounds....repetitive lyrics. Musicial instruments are vanishing. not good. You're right, not much emotion or expression to inspire the listener. Like I said Not all, but much of it is, sad to say.
So, you're ignoring the fact that this is a song that is 40+ years old, being performed by the two who created it? So hard to google a song and find out about it...so hard...so hard
2:22 even in his sixties, clapton can still rip a solo out that guitarists half his age couldnt handle as well technically or emotionally. rock on slowhand.
those are the real original lords of the swing... i never hear a better 2 guitar attack like this one... this is really creative... i'm ready to pray for this new religion...
About the 2 guitar's bands I don't even think that Fleetwood mac in 69 and 72 and Wishbone Ash in 72 were better... it's hard to be better than here...it's just unreachable...
@MrTonkacat The keyboardist you think is Todd is Chris Stainton, been playing with Clapton for a long time...I can see the resemblance, and that would certainly been an interesting combo if it actually was. :)
Incredible, you could just feel the magic happening on the stage. Not bad for 2 guys that havnt played together in 25 years. Now I want to cry today, after watching how good these guys are. Clapton has always held Winwood in high regard. A lot of interesting stuff about Blind Faith in Claptons book. I read it 3 times.
Makes you wonder what if. What if all the BS that screwed up Blind Faith hadn't happened? Would they have been allowed to grow more organically or would they still have broken up? They were a great band and Winwood and Clapton were the glue.
I was Googling and iTuning leads by the under-rated Stevie Winwood - came across this and my mouth's open catching flies. Love the way he and Eric "sing" together; reminds me of the greats who did e.g. Mick Fleetwood/Peter Green, so few others.
@ogenmatic absolutely! ... make sure to watch "crossroads" too, same set, imho the drumming really lifts what is a great performance to begin with, to a higher level altogether.
Amazing song, one of the first riffs i learned on guitar. It still blows my mind when people say that they are surprised that as they get older musicians still play well. They play better period. I have always thought being able to play music was something that you earned over a lifetime and these guys are the peak of that. Clapton is my favorite guitarist ever.
@swingmanu I’m not so sure you could consider “Blind Faith” as Clapton’s band. Steve Winwood is certainly on the same level, musical, as Clapton if not a cut above. The interplay of the twin lead guitars, at the end, is incredible……
notice they don't have to tune down so winwood can pull off his vocal? fucking amazing after 41 years. steve jordan and doyle bramhall are gods in their own right,too. fuck justin beiber and lady gaga.
@johnowensjr1234 Doyle Bramhall II was part of the EC band then, bit of a shame to leave him out! But with Derek Trucks on slide it enables SW to swap to Hammond for parts of the concert, I suppose. Perhaps he's also on a 'pay-per-play' deal.
First time black and white man works perfectly together!! xD

Beyond the obvious great string work, isn't the drumming outstanding on this piece?

@ogenmatic absolutely. Steve Jordan is the man. Good call
rune2222 1 year ago
@ogenmatic Yes it is, not the easiest song to drum to!

Yes it is... the two of them, gifted players both, managed to recreate. together, what Ginger Baker did by himself.

@ogenmatic absolutely! ... make sure to watch "crossroads" too, same set, imho the drumming really lifts what is a great performance to begin with, to a higher level altogether.

Who are the drummers here? This is a challenging song to play (IMO) and it's always difficult to follow Ginger Baker!

@Vortigern99 Steve Jordan and Chris Layton from double trouble.

Amazing song, one of the first riffs i learned on guitar. It still blows my mind when people say that they are surprised that as they get older musicians still play well. They play better period. I have always thought being able to play music was something that you earned over a lifetime and these guys are the peak of that. Clapton is my favorite guitarist ever.

Was reading about Steve Winwood today in a Guitar mag. Glad I did. It's cliche but these guys really do rock.

Is an amazing song and seeing them together is awesome. But dying happy just because I'd seen this would meen I'd had a pretty boring life.

Blind faith: best band Clapton ever had!! The magic lasted for a half album and the thing was gone... what a singer Steve Winwood is!!!!!
swingmanu 1 year ago
@swingmanu I’m not so sure you could consider “Blind Faith” as Clapton’s band. Steve Winwood is certainly on the same level, musical, as Clapton if not a cut above. The interplay of the twin lead guitars, at the end, is incredible……
19CACTUS51 1 year ago
notice they don't have to tune down so winwood can pull off his vocal? fucking amazing after 41 years. steve jordan and doyle bramhall are gods in their own right,too. fuck justin beiber and lady gaga.

johnowensjr1234 1 year ago
@johnowensjr1234 I agree four guitars is a little excessive, but that's one of Clapton's sidemen with the Les Paul.
gelchert 1 year ago
@johnowensjr1234 Doyle Bramhall II was part of the EC band then, bit of a shame to leave him out! But with Derek Trucks on slide it enables SW to swap to Hammond for parts of the concert, I suppose. Perhaps he's also on a 'pay-per-play' deal.
