I'm just so grateful Eric,Bobby,Jools, and this great band decided to play this song on the Jools Holland Show.. It was not planned , just a last mintue decission. Bobby and I wrote "Southern Gentleman" at my home in Mt. Juliet,Tn in the mid eighties and never thought of it as a record. We were wrong once again. Thanks BW. Jimmy Pasquale
Wish they would tour together - take derek trucks and doyle bramhall along and play the Layla album and a bunch of Clapton's material right after Delaney and Bonnie. Lot's of great music. Whitlock wrote a lot of the music from the Layla album.
Fantastic stuff, but Eric looks a bit surprised and then pissed off at having to end his solo so suddenly... Should have been allowed to go on for longer.
it depresses me that i achieved maturity in this year - the bass player is wearing a shirt two sizes two small, and the sax player is wearing his dad's jacket.
This is the first time I've seen this video. Great music. Got to know Bobby when he moved to my town a few years after this was filmed. He subsequently 'moved on'. But what an interesting guy. And what a terrific musician!
Bobby Whitlock was and still is a great singer/ keyboardist. And does anything else have to be said about SLOWHAND! LONG LIVE --DEREK and the DOMINO'S! RIP--DUANE&CARL! Rest Easy--Jim
Brilliant piano work from Bobby and wonderful guitar solos from 'ol Slow Hand. IMHO, 2000 was the year Clapton began using Fender Vintage Noiseless pickups on his Custom Artist Strats, although his updated signature model has been officially released the following year.

@09dedalus Nah. When I saw him live, he looked like that at the end of almost all the numbers-just has one of those stoic British faces...

Sure, you'd have to get a new rhythm section- but c'mon guys! Do a Derek & The Dominos tour! It would be great.

on a serious note, do you guys think eric plays lead better when he sings the song, or when he's with a great singer?

maybe the two of them should have swapped?
