Eric Clapton San Francisco Bay Blues

[Ray199149]

I like the kazoo!!!

[baxatak]

@zellmerfudd 1. Thanks for the compliment, I am indeed a genius; 2. Oh yes it is a solo. Or a soli rather (a few kazoos). But any instrument playing melody over harmony is definitely a solo; not all solos have to be improvised. So all you've shown me is that you don't even know the rudimentary basics and structure of music. Maybe Unplugged is a bit over your head. Perhaps some music with fewer if any guidelines would suit you. Go on and watch some nice kesha or katy perry videos. Ok? Ok.

[burkevinell]

This has always been one of my favorite numbers by Eric Clapton. I really appreciate the video because I always suspected they had a hell of a good time doing it. Thank you.

[RantosaurusRex]

Eric Clapton on kazoo...freakin' hilarious!

[crisrod99]

1 person is the girl this song is about

[T4NKDRIV3RUS]

Is that NAahan East playing the upright bass? Spectacular, just like the whole song.

[jazzkid66]

[jaysonlemoine]

Buddys rocking the fuck outta that kazoo

[Drweavil]

I defy anyone to try not to tap their feet or have a smile at the end of this song !

[rpandey17]

@Drweavil i could hold on..was in bed

[baxatak]

You either think it's bold, hilarious, or just plain ridiculous, but how can an Eric Clapton kazoo solo NOT bring a smile to your face?

[GierJoost]

@baxatak A very big smile. Awesome!!

[zellmerfudd]

@baxatak it's not a solo genius....

[Writeowl]

@baxatak It's absolutely hilarious and a brilliant piece of live performance, always makes me grin.

[Writeowl]

I like the comment from one of the musicians (not shown here) of "Never again!" LOL

[duperszpic]

Very nice.

[thebear138]

Ray Cooper is god

[UnitedKingdom4ever]

[mattley27]

[oxsburga]

[jobrohns]

Is that Ade Edmondson on the tambourine?

[spinedoc18]

[mams14]

[peacefrog1916]

[makeitrain47]

[franknitty45]

1 person needs to catch a freight train.

[Sternchenwiese]

No way to get down-PERFECT..i like this interpretation soooooo much...

[tswars]

Awsome



[sicemdawgs47]

lol I love how one dude heard this and was like, "Man fuck this, Justin Beiber is way better I'm gonna hit the dislike button." This is real music.

[Johntheresonator]

Just love this song, pretty well all versions including of course the Jesse Fuller original.

But boy, aren't these guys having a great time up there on stage! What it's all about!

[louswire]

I like the girls laughing after the last notes fade away....

[bunkhabit]

@louswire This video cuts off just before one of the band members says, in a british accent, "Never again," (regarding the chorus of kazoos) and Clapton sniggers loudly.

[louswire]

@bunkhabit I know what you mean... I've had this on VHS, now on DVD... watching this show is like comfort food for the soul.... Kinda like re-reading a book that you really like.

[moon1973drummer]

KAZOOOOOOOOOO

[jhiller21]

Chuck Livell on piano is fucking amazing

[pinballwizard108]

@jhiller21 you said that right, wow

[d1md1mz]

OMG, great performance! Does anybody know where i can get this video (in original version)?

[ElSanx13]

@d1md1mz Dude i bought it in a music store, it's about 8 bucks, pretty cheap

[falla95]

VISIT AND WATCH mesaboogie1231 CHANNEL!

[rgmanica]

hey! what is the brand of this kazoo? Some crapy kazoos from ebay don't make good sounds!

[generaleclectic31415]

Peter, Paul and Mary did a fine version of this song, but I think I like this better. Thanks Eric Clapton for keeping their Kazoo stuff in. ;)

[MarkArandjus]

More like Epic Clapton.

[AceRodstein]

Yes, Clapton is God!!!!

[WoodenMosquito]

@AceRodstein You bet it dude. Some guys say that he "plays guitar like a decent guitar teacher would, but he's a good buisnessman". Fuk, listen to his version of I shot the sheriff, you'll know why he's brilliant. ; )

[TheWintertown]

Love it!!!!

[LastPhyrexian]

you left out the part where he said "never again" about the kazoo lol...thats the best part! great video nonetheless

[atourdeforce]

@LastPhyrexian i prefer the start, " now this is the first and last time you will ever see this" lol

[Brongo65]

Heerlijk nummer, perfecte uitvoering.

[spencerinlondon]

An incredible piece from Clapton, Dont miss the Tambourine man...such fun they're all having...makes you glad to be alive!

[spikerboy321]

[TheKura666]

@imusthavewhisky It has very funny and interesting sound. And this song is also great. You don't need any skills (except singing) to play that instrument xd

[imusthavewhisky]

[BrokenneckYgor]

[BrokenneckYgor]

got da booze frum my baby what lived by the san fransicko bay

de ocean liner sail so far away

[vixiv614]

What do you call that metal thing Steve Ferrone is playing?

[imusthavewhisky]

@vixiv614 it's a washboard. sometimes they call it a frottoir, i think, though i'm not sure if there's any difference between the two. it might be they're one and the same.

[prototism]

What a fun fun song.

[fuckinpimf]

I like theversion by Colin Hodgkinson better.

What is that thing called, he plays at 1:45 ?

[RodrigoCFD]

What's that GIANT red guitar, with the harmonica guy??

[8000cheese]

@RodrigoCFD the upright bass?

[RodrigoCFD]

@8000cheese No, at the other side, with the harmonica guy! What's that guitar? That's huge!

[8000cheese]

@RodrigoCFD the thing at 0:40 on the right? big thing?

[RodrigoCFD]

@8000cheese No, it can be seen clearly at 2:09. The big guitar with with the sunburst top, played by the harmonica guy. What guitar is that?

[8000cheese]

@RodrigoCFD probably some type of blues hollowbody, its not that large actually

[gimpe38]

@RodrigoCFD i think it's a Gibson Hummingbird, though i've never seen that type of bridge on a hummingbird so either it's a customs or i'm completely wrong...

[guitarisfreakincool]

Why put subtitles in music? Deaf people won't listen to music, or anything for that matter, lol

[BrokenneckYgor]

my pal Dmitri say metal thing on his neck mean he have bad head injury.

[savexourxship1]

Whole set is epic!! Listen daily.

[DoubleHouse]

epic piece of music :)

[tonigaria]

Most famous vberauion: "Kongo Kate" and the Kickin' Kittys, recorded in Amman, Transjordan, June 1960, and later resssued in Cairo on album "Arab Rock Foreverr!@"does any U-Tubers know where this album is?

[Aelwyss]

[0902056]

S E N S A C I O N A L!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ZaplaInDaHouse]

[Polishjazzman]

My favorite song from one of my favorite albums. Thanks!

[neon854]

It's true. This is the best version made of this song.

[BigBen260790]

I love this!!!

[thetravellinminstrel]

the pianist is/was the Allman Brothers pianist Chuck Leavell. He joined the Allman Bros to fill in the sound when duane allman died. Chuck is a great session musician..pianist..one of the best in the business...he's toured with the rolling stones and many more great acts. if you like him,do a google search for his band 'SEA LEVEL' late 70's stuff. really kick ass music.

[Borromeo624]

¡Excelente tema! Se los recomiendo...

[Borromeo624]

Andy Fairweather Low on guitar,

[iguaraburguer]

Clapton es de los mejores musicos de la historia, y personas tan talentosas como el nunca deberia morir

[jannieron]

OMG That guy on the piano is awesome

[lawnboy07]

yep, good ol' chuck leavell! effortless playing, just like clapton. everyone was at the top of their game for these shows. thanks for the upload, this puts a smile on my face everyday!

[ravenkiller1]

@jannieron it's Chuck Leavell. He's been around a long time and played with a lot of great artists.

[GBTBUBA]

@jannieron  chuck leavell...fu****g great

[BonGSportS]

@jannieron it's russel crowe :d

[jazzkid66]

@jannieron chuck leavel (sp?) ...he had a bad ass band in the 70's when he stopped playing for the Allman Bros called SEA LEVEAL ....w half the cats from the allmans....hes a really good singer/song writer as well!

[bigtarrose]

Great kazoo, what a wonderful song!

[malinmoate]

Played this song back in the Seventies and I am going to play it again. Great version by Eric Clapton, Andy Fairweather -Lowe and the lads. !

[benny266698]

Jesse Fuller 1968

[TheDirrk]

BEST VERSION EVER - perfetct rhytm, tempo, vocalcombination of instuments!

[pantherproof]

I have to agree. It is an old classic (I don't know how old) but Eric shows how timeless it is. When I was a kid, hearing his rock albums I would never have imagined him doing this tune, but he nails it!

[thetravellinminstrel]

@TheDirrk i do agree this is a bad ass version, but have you checked out HOT TUNA (Jorma Kaukonen-guitar/vocal) does a KICK ASS version of this song on the live at sweetwater cd/dvd. im an east coast kid in my mid 30's but i KNOW there has got to some more kick butt versions out there.and this IS my favorite version (so far)

[guitarisfreakincool]

@TheDirrk I like the original better, but this is still awesome

[lebeno69]

@TheDirrk Totaly agree!

[rowley1950]

I love all your work Eric but have to say Jesse Fuller beats you all hands up on this one ....sorry

[SILOHT4]

Wooow, nice, just nice, this song brings me really good memories from my student and university life :D :D :D

[coolscrnname]

I was not listening to eminem, someone else was...ll

[benny266698]
