Tulsa is a little known music city. Leon Russell grew up there and has done more music than most people know. Eric came thru Tulsa and went fly fishing in Arkai nsas. Sheryl never sounded better than on this track.
A lot of old artists changed lyric's or how they play songs. Elvis, Dylan etc. Not so much anymore. Sometimes it's an inside joke with the band. "leaving Arizona...going to arizona" could mean she was stuck in a rut, going nowhere.
eric "the blackest soul in the bunch" even if I like them all, and the song is one of my favourite............good times good playing good people what would you ask more?
I am proud to be a native born Tulsan! Thank you Don Williams for this song and for Eric Clapton, one of my favorite musicians of all time, for doing an amazing cover of it!
There are so many singers and musicians who have a great version of this song (Don Williams who wrote it, Reba Macintyre, Eric Clapton). Shows how terrific this song is. Somehow this version is really the best Sheryl Crow fits it well but what a treat to have Eric Clapton, Albert Lee, Vince Gill et al
Awesome display. These people really know what they're doing, and even more so when you consider it's mostly a 'let's get together and play whatever we think of' kind of thing. BTW.
A little time back there was a cleaned up version of this laying about, can anybody point me towards it? Albert and Eric weren't drowned out in that one, and Jerry's slide was a lot clearer.
Don Williams was a very successful country music singer from the 1970s and 1980s, with several #1 hits. He had a very smooth, mellow sound. I love his music. He and Clapton both recorded Tulsa Time in 1978. Williams' version went to #1. I like the singing of Williams' version better, but the guitar playing of Clapton's version is better, of course.
@Looneyboyo I appreciate your honesty. Don Williams was the original artist that recorded this song. Check him out! Pork chop side burns, cool country sound. He also recorded a song called, "Amanda". Very mello voice. Good stuff. No, you don't sound stupid, my man. Stupid people don't ask good questions.....
@Looneyboyo Made a mistake. He didn't record Amanda. He recorded, "Till the rivers all run dry." Sorry. Check out, Don Williams though. You won't be disappointed...
I agree with country westerngal. It's one thing to wing a song but for an event which Clapton sponsors, you'd think they'd rehearse a little more to ensure a good show for the fans instead winging it. The whole show was pretty much like this.
That's Jerry Douglas playing slide on the telecaster. You can see he's using a "bar" instead of a glass slide and the neck is a square-neck like that of a dobro.
Thanks! I don't know how I got notched (-1) for stating that Vince Gill is a mother of a guitarist? Maybe someone misunderstood 'killed it' and thought I was insulting him!
Man vince gill rocks, i love him! cowboy up probaby my fav song of his in this concert. and albert lee...nothing to be said, just the greatest player ever man, love it!
She has an odd quirk... she has trouble remembering the lyrics to the songs... even songs she wrote herself.
I saw her in concert and she screwed up the words to "Soak Up the Sun." Imagine how many times she's sung that one! Everyone had a good laugh - including her.
They must be good friends lol. Clapton sounds way better without Cheryl IMHO. I think perhaps that can be credited to the worst mix (volume)imaginable on the guitars. Shoot the audio engineer.
This is awesome! The olymp of guitar players just has a good time together and lets everyone take part!

jimpson7: Vince Gill does rock! "Cowboy Up" is also a great song and, Gretchen Wilson's voice on harmony vocals definitely adds to it.
