Eric Clapton - Hit the road Jack (1989)

[43george01]

that guitarist (not clapton, who is he by the way?) has a Teisco Spectrum V!!! I just found out recently about those guitars, and now it seems like they're popping up everywhere!

[close2zen]

@43george01 Andy Fairweather Low is the other guitarist

[43george01]

@close2zen ahh thanks! shame on me for not knowing *facepalm*

[fitipaldi90]

I think here, eric clapton is in a second plane. I think it should be a nice mixure (Eric clapton + Ray charles) But not like that...

[AtomicFlow86]

Percy Mayfield Was A Very Great Genius...!!!

[bluezman607]

Clapton'@his best

[AtomicFlow86]

@bluezman607

Maybe it's The One Best Rocker Wat I Prefer...!!!

[crazyemi123]

so cool!!!

[MrComahue]

Eric is Dr. House!

[ChiefBullBear]

I do not approve this version, the origional version was way better.

[ChiefBullBear]

@ChiefBullBear Original*

[BigGR0X]

@ChiefBullBear well then since you dont approve then this video should be removed from the internet immediately

[MrDan1987dan]

Hit the road Jack

[toztizok]

@iamaladycanyousaveme It's Gary Brooker from Procol Harum

[BigRussOvBs9]

andy fairweather low introducing this is white stilletto shoes its a charity gig they still do them together today the boys are getting old though

[lootmob]

What a rip off this is a Ray Charles Original Song ... give Love where Respect is due

[toztizok]

@lootmob No it's a percy mayfield original.

[hydroop]

who is the guy at the beginning introducing the song?

[AvidusVinco]

Awesome

[nb1984]

[fazg2]

[snakkajak]

[sinidea05]

¿de donde salio esto? ¿en que año y que bar? la toma no es buena pero el contenido muy bien, saludos

[57jeaux]

This was Clamptons early years, The keyboardist just called him, EC..lol

[tubetaaastic]

@57jeaux: 1989. Clapton's early years. Good one.

[EricClaptonFan24]

@57jeaux Not really... I guess late 80's/beginning 70's. Clapton was already HUGE.

[EricClaptonFan24]

@57jeaux Stupid, I didn't saw the year. But still, not his early years.

[FredFan8]

what year was this???

[whannes]

@FredFan8 Read the whole title you schmuck

[marlababe1]

[HEARTIUS]

Really funny song. We made a "vocal play" cover of this. I find it interesting, I'll take the opportunity of this comment to propose you to watch it on my channel ;)

Nice day everyone

[omgcanigetpass]

ok, that guy on trumpet is so good!!!!! best solo of the whole song

[fanebabanu19]

@omgcanigetpass

trumpet ? what trumpet ? it's a tenor sax !

[xeba01]

@fanebabanu19 What you say!!! (8)

[paperboard666]

@fanebabanu19 They all hear that rap crap and Katy Perry and that fuck. They do not know what an instrument is.

[jongo2011]

Gotta love how no matter how big or small the venue Clapton lays it all out and gives you a solo to blow you away you can tell how much he respects artists like bob marley Robery Johnson and Ray Charles by how much soul he puts into his solos

[IvanOne]

O.O nice

[102938abel]

@iamaladycanyousaveme Crusty old guy sex.

[sportstuber11]

THis is awesome

[chomponwhat]

old school soul is all i need to roll

[02910748]

[Nw06051]

[waitin9]

EC on a good night. Rare!

[cujobytes]

[mov0001000]

[abdleghani23]

[pelman001]

Great Stuff. I've seen EC in concert 41 times and I always hope to see him do new songs. I have never seen him do this before. I'll yell out this request next time I see him in concert. Pelman

[philosophyisthebomb]

[MYBIGKINDHEART]

THAT GUY ON THE PIANO IS SO UNCANNY AS HE SINGS JUST LIKE RAY CHARLES

[bouwmr]

@MYBIGKINDHEART

"that guy" is mr. gary brooker himself.

[555pontifex]

Oh wow.... that is one FANTASTIC band. Piano player sings better than Ray Charles, Saxophone simple awesome... and E.C. What can you say? Lucky, lucky people who were there that night.

[junglemaze]

j'adore

[samjames1933]

Best Guitarist without a doubt!! Check out Dave Lennard great new singer songwriter

[f23r23]

Can someone tell me if and where I can find an mp3 of this version of the song?

I really like it more than the original!

[f23r23]

Honestly... for me this guy sounds even better than Ray Charles.

[Ohiofilms]

This just doesn't sound right unless it's Ray.

[imavaughanstar]

0:28

[MrFlowers]

I think this is a AA concert.

[basketcasestudios]

interesting song for clapton to pick to play in concert seeing it didn't have a large guitar part but he got a great pianist

[BigRussOvBs9]

Flower Power!

[rudisme]

I miss them raylettes

[Nazkind]

[MedManTheBrave]

[yosonimbord]

[Nalevka]

[becksdollface]

@MrChodaSmak

your link to another version does not have EC or Gary Brooker & no dancing flower! cannot compare the 2.

it is another rendition by someone else in a different style.

but thnx for the suggestion; always good to hear something new! bdf

[MrChodaSmak]

rm tocak - hit the road jack

[fynykx]

For those who wondered like I did, why Gary Brooker and Eric Clapton were doing this song together, I Googled and found this song was #9 on the set/track list, on 1989 Dec 23 charity concert show titled Secret Stiletto Shoes in Concert, at the Ex-servicemen's club in Chiddingfold, England.

[bsobel3]

Where and when was this? Thanks!

[darcaxe1]

Wud joo saaaaaYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!

[Pataqeiro]

Shiiit,when they started " hit the road,jack.." a biiiiig chill went down on my spine . x) soo beautiful . x)

[188043]

None of those is Eric Clapton, maybe you should rename the video!!!

[PindamonhaMAN]

@188043 None of those is Clapton? Are you kidding?

[188043]

@PindamonhaMAN Nevermind, I found him. I've just never seen him with hair that long.

[Rotaffenarsch]

@188043 who do u think is the "jesus look-a-like" guitar playing person in the backround ? who inserts some nice funky guitar licks ?

[188043]

@Rotaffenarsch If you read my reply to PindamonhaMan, you would see that i already corrected myself. I'm only 18, so i havent been able to watch Clapton since he started. From what i'd had seen before this was all stuff with short hair. The first time i saw him was in Twister singing Motherless Child with short hair.

[Rotaffenarsch]

@188043 ah ok ;) sorry 4 that haha ;)

[monseco]

@188043 U dont have a clue??? The guy with the electric guitar??? Long Hair??? The one that played the solo???

[188043]

@monseco You??? Only read one comment??? I already corrected if you paid any attention. I was born in 1992, 3 years after this video. Excuse me if i make a mistake. Eric Clapton is a great artist, but all the videos i had seen of him before this were of him being both older and having shorter hair. Give me a break, and take the time to realize i wrote more than just my first comment.

[musikus48]

Eine fetzige Gruppe hast Du hier auf Deiner Seite.

Grüße von Bert

[DonJuanDeMarco2]

Who is the singer, he's quality. He actually sounds like Clapton, what am i missing here ?

[jgprs]

How can anyone have pushed the dislike button... That's just wrong ... Great video... I wish I could have been there :D

[nellie2581]

Go Eric Clapton!

Hit the road jack and don't you come back, no more, no, more. Hit the road jack and don't you come back no more....

[becksdollface]

this is so cool, thnx

[donyfernando]

@becksdollface :)

[becksdollface]

@donyfernando thnx for the reply - reminded me to feature the vid on my channel again! who would not enjoy clapton doing charles with a dancing flower? do you know who the keyboardist / singer is? he's great *-* bdf

[donyfernando]

@becksdollface, thnx you!

Your answer is: Gary Brooker.

:)

[becksdollface]

@donyfernando muchas gracias *-* bdf

[jlfieldad]

[becksdollface]

@peteypool thnx petey ;) I love how the tubers love to share great music & take time to answer the zillion questions. I won't forget Gary Brooker & Procol Harum ... and again another chance to be reminded how much I love this version of Hit the Road (Ray Charles, always the Master road hitter), bdf

[benzuckerman]

Cool Teisco Del Rey guitar. Who is that?

[roflrolf123]
