i was there at the opry house this week when Eric and carl perkins were rehearsing and comparing guitars .. I went over there because we at sho bud let them use some equipment ..if you detect a little doubt in cash's voice you are right ..no one really knew what reaction would be from the public with them being booked on this show an dit shows thru their talking ..i thought they would bear down with LAYLA but instead played some pretty simple stuff ..they practiced BELL BOTTOM BLUES.played this

[Ulysses447]

I say he should've kept the SG.

[1Doz]

Piano player has a great voice.

[lucyqblues]

Is that Duane at the back of the pack?!

[jokkergar]

@lucyqblues That's Carl Radle the bass player

[giotto2011]

Best Band Ever

[oeyeyea]

@tomthefunky whats ironic is that if he was american he probably wouldn't of been exposed to the music that inspired him and he might not of became "eric clapton",a good example when the beatles went to the US they said we wanna see muddy waters and were then asked where's that? btw i love american music and johnny cash legend

[NintendoSinceBirth1]

@TheOneThatGetsIt i couldnt resist haha

[dezertfox4323]

[BurleyFuzz]

I Love it when I get to see video of random Legends interacting. Jamming or just shootin' the shit! Like that rare footage of Hendrix and Kieth Richards hanging out backstage somewhere, or the Rock n Roll Circus w Lennon, Jagger, and the gang!

[impala327]

only Clapton can get by with two bad flubs on Network TV...

[AvirtualSwitzerland]

@impala327 ....Where's the flubs? (RIP Duane)

[waterhead001]

Is Clapton Fingerpicking here? I can't tell if he's using a pick.

[mosaic67]

@waterhead001 flat pick

[megajames3000]

that's brownie! his first strat

[kurciarz]

the most shy bassist in history of rock

[tricesimo]

@kurciarz I think you're right - I've never seen a bass player hiding behind his drummer before!

Great musician, though. RIP Carl...

[cirtas]

I like his Brownie :)

[anthonythirteen]

this is not Jan 1971, but recorded in early November 1970 during the band's long tour of the US. They were getting strung out on various drugs by this time, but it got worse as they headed into their December dates, such as when Duane Allman joined up, which was unfortunate given the latter contributed so much to the album..

[anthonythirteen]

note how EC puts on a fake southern accent for Johnny Cash's benefit. Also, I think he's a little under-selling the British Blues scene!

[dickydom9]

trust the yanks to get the union flag wrong, cunts !

[stpgroov]

(｡-_-｡)ﾉ☆･ﾟ:*:ﾟL□∨Ε

[Mariekesone]

[noeysolis]

[bryemycaz]

@noeysolis Yep that is Brownie.

[BigRussOvBs9]

How sexy is Eric?!?!?!?!?

[MultiShades]

@BigRussOvBs9 Who knows

[OwnedRL]

that was a pretty abysmal solo.

[Teelux]

@OwnedRL lol I realize it's just your opinion that you're stating.. but how can you call that solo abysmal?  craziness :p

[jim952]

@OwnedRL shut it dick! u no nothing about anything...go and die

[mikexlong]

lol fucking johnny cash

[alcoholman01]

excellent quality

[RAMWESS]

:). como a cambiado clapton a traves de las decadas

[nognilk]

Fender Strat sounds good with Country

[snubbs741]

wheres clapton's gibson? and his marshall stack??? i feel confused and disoriented

[shiftymeister]

he doesn't play them anymore

[snubbs741]

haha yeah i know i was kidding i meant i love the tone he got through that rig

[GonzoEnthusiast]

Claptons been a Fender man since he left cream. A Black Strat usually...

[GonzoEnthusiast]

Whoops, didn't see your other comment, my bad

[Stanger182]

@snubbs741 hey went California here already...Strat and twin reverb?

[josh1988ist]

@snubbs741 I think he only used the Gibson and Marshall in Cream. After that I think he went strictly to the Strat. I'm not a huge Clapton fan so I might be wrong.

[AlexCPGA]

@snubbs741 Clapton used a Strat after Cream broke up....

[KevoBlues88]

Wow. Clapton looks kinda weird here. Sounds good though

[felixrockss]

WOW I LOVE THIS .... thank you so much foir posting this is pure music

[joebrassmonkey]

If this was in 71' this must have been right before their break up. The whole band looks fantastic, especially clapton, being a heavy heroin user at the time.

[rvz77]

if u detect some country blues pickin....haha johnny fantastic

[CamelTheLamb]

lovely. does anyone else find it weird for a british musician to play this sort of southern country music style?

[clapton1337]

imo one of the greatest performances and songs by clapton. whitlock rules here as well.
