I'm Tore Down

[lewars1912]

Best version of this song I've heard is by Rory Gallagher.

[ad3956]

@Hector3251.... don't be such an ignorant fuck. in 72 clapton was far from his peak... he was a year removed from music in a drug haze... and as far as the stones he never got along very well with Jagger. cocaine has never been considered a blues song, ask the writer, jj Cale, a good ol' country boy... don't rush to a judgement that is based on pure ignorance and misinformation.. yes i love Rory and he was great but he also was raw, one dimensional and never reached his full potential

[redclaytanto]

To the one asshole that can't appreciate Clapton and the great music he creates. Is it lonely in your sad little existence?

[fredshep1]

It's not Jim Keltner on the drums..looks nothing like him.

[adameats]

it's Andy Newmark

[francispetaluma]

Hey is that Rahm Emanuel playing the drum kit?

[guitarbites]

@francispetaluma Jim Keltner

[dinomak1970]

If I could play half as good as Clapton I'd be satisfied. He never even has to look down to see what fret he's on. I guess after decades of playing with the best of the best it comes naturally.

[adrianoalca]

Eric Clapiton é o cara!!!!!!!!!!!

[AtmaRising]

awesome!

[ahpollyolly]

At his best - playing the blues with consumate ease and conviction - and importantly with the ever present bar football table he takes on tour with him....

[kellskilleen]

Thank you for this Video - Guys, check my Profile

[pufforosso]

He should play more often with a horns section.. great stuff!

[CLAPTONblues2009]

no one can touch eric-----the best

[MrCaribbean]

GREAT PERFORMANCE!

[sgdan143]

His guitar playing is so amazing, one of my favorites.....his voice really great too, I dont think he's credited enough for his voice

[dromader63]

Chłopak, a ty kiedy pokażesz jak grasz?

[mkeywork]

POLSKA!!

Guitar Playing The Best

[philblues2]

on peut en trouver unne bonne version sur le DVD des 70ans de J.Mayall

[sallpa128]

this one of the best songs in bleus

[beclibest]

You will find a concert version of I'm Tore Down, including mostly the same musicians (but with Steve Gadd on drums) on the DVD "Live at Hyde Park" (recorded around ten years ago). Probably Eric's best DVD ever.

[Sagalusss]

i like pizzaaa!!!!!111111

[boryskow]

i like pizza when my baby can't be found :D

[telecastercraig]

EC is the man, that is not talent, it's EC being EC. The first time he picked up a guitar five people laid their's down! Because nobody can touch him, he really is GOD!

[paulasuedianepam]

I just finished reading his book. He says he will not tour anymore. Anyone heard anything about a tour. I always liked EC but after reading his book I like him even more knowing whats behind the music.

[spulank]

clapton is god

[atasteofrory]

well ye better tell god Rory Gallagher tore down that wee dream

[13BrainSlung]

I get TORE DOWN every time I listen to GOD,....AKA Eric Clapton. ( for you non-believers)....

[robotsrocks2]

heheheheh... im with ya

[spulank]

that music is inside him hes making it come out through that guitar rocks 5 stars

[HayatoFernandes]

Eric clapton make me like music .

[ECwarren1]

fucking amazing

[BeatleSongPlayer]

You're damn right I got the blues!!!! Love it!!

[cryspop]

BSP i love love love this kind of music too , it makes my feet want to dance and my face smile all happily , who can not feel good listening to this !!! Eric's quite an OK kind of guitar player dont you think ? LOL LOL (understatement of the century LOL)X

[BeatleSongPlayer]

hey cryspop, Yeah Eric seems to be doing OK for himself, I don't think he's having any trouble finding a gig LOL!!

[Bigbluesboy]

Eric calls it Woodshadding, in early years he listen to the great bluesplayers on records, and try to play like them.. I like Rory Gallagher too, but I like Eric best of them all, but Rory is on my top 10-list,and Eric is on top of that list.

[sgtknox]

the video is available??? :O

[mkeywork]

the best 20 year fan of clapton he the best guitarist

cant wait for the bridgeview il

HE CAN OUTPLAY ANYBODY!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE FUCKIN BEST CLAPTON

[dsingo]

oh no way man, rory gallagher is a better player than clapton, even the great muddy waters was a huge rory fan

[mkeywork]

no my opinion i like clapton better then what you said clapton my favortive got it

[dsingo]

i suppose your entitled to your opinion and certainly clapton is a much better choice than some ive heard, someone once wrote eddie van halen

[mkeywork]

but i have a question search drifting blues, then you see clapton is a true talent on a guitar

[dsingo]

oh i have from the cradle i also have this show on video, i do love clapton especially that album one of my favourites

[Bazfles]

Clapton is a very good copy cat. Cant hold a candle to the real thing though: Freddie, BB, Albert, Albert C, Magic Sam, Hubert Sumlin and Clapton be'd the first to say so.

[Dawgmann]

Clapton never ceases to amaze me...effortless playing! The band aint half bad either...

[spikypaddy83]

Can someone please, please tell me where I can get hold of a DVD of the whole of this rehearsal/interview session - I've got a dodgy audio tape of it at home and have no idea where it came from.

[rixills]

i want that guitar

[CarterFilmLtd]

Capton is God indeed!

[fredericomesquita]

Deus criou o som e viu que era bom. Então Deus Criou Eric Clapton.

[jjbennett123]

Awesome tone, as much as i like Clapton he always sounds better with Gibsons.

[cerebralparsley]

I think that's cos Gibsons have a better tone for blues than Fenders (the power provided by their lovely range of humbuckers). I think, however, that Fenders (Strats in particular) are a more versatile choice for playing a variety of styles (rock, jazz, funk, country etc.)

[crossfire1]

gibsons don't necessarily have better tone for blues than fenders, it's all how you set your sound. clapton can get a very similar sound with his newer strats (with the mid-boost circuit). all the old great blues players have used strats.

[bholloway546]

thats not really true b/c a lot of good guitarists like freddie king, muddy waters,albert king, bb.king, along with others that have used gibsons but it really just depends on what you like

[spulank]

no it actually depends on wat sound ur looking for

[Greggorath]

@cerebralparsley I agree 100%. I do think that Fender strats sound great in blues and jazz applications but a Gibson just shines a little brighter there. I have also heard the gibson perform marvelously in heavier styles though.

[jazz4randall]

Thats a real dot neck too.. about $28k worth of soul.. sweet !

[eqsmooth]

@cerebralparsley Pure speculation & hot air. How about, " He just happens to like the 335 for this song and a few others". Over analysis sucks!

[jazz4randall]

Thats a real dot neck too.. about $28k worth of soul.. sweet !

[drunkinbluesband]

@jjbennett123 

[bluesduprat]

unfortunately, hasn't Feddie King's voice.

He copies well FK 's guitar playing.

But for originality?

[NothingButTheBlues]

If Freddy can play the way he does, pelase tell me when.

[bluesduprat]

The Beat!!!1966

Live at Sugarbowl 1970's

on you tube

on CD: Tjhe single: King records,Collectables,Rhino,...

The guitar intro and the riffs are copied note for note !!!

[Hektor88]

and this whole "Nuthin'but the Blues" Tour that he was doing was a tribute. So alot of it was intentional copy-catting

[linusconstantin]

He should play that tune live more often!

[CarterFilmLtd]

gahdamn lol

clapton is god indeed
