At the start of this video, Steve Jordan is like the mythic "John Henry"-- his arms beating those drums like pistons! God damn what shape the man must be in!!
@AnthemicPolemic I have not seen a hint of guitar knowledge, other than spewing random crap and attempts to show pity, of some sort. In other words, I agree.
One of, if not the, best slide solos I've ever heard. There is a God...and he works through the fingers of great guitar players in order to communicate with the world...I hope you all are listening.
Guitar playing is not a competition and if anyone knows that, it's Trucks. There are so many guys getting the attention nowadays who don't rightfully deserve. Frusciante, Bonomassa, etc. Those guys are all one dimensional and don't compare to Trucks or guys like John Mayer and Doyle
SMA- sorry to disappoint you, but Bonomassa is going to be one monster guitarist soon.. he's well on his way, and Frusciante holds back a lot, fearing the "rock star" halo being tossed at him-- it's what led him to leave music and sink into drugs for like, an entire 5 years till he got clean and tried to work around those things. I wonder what you'd say about Jeff Beck, then? It's true that these guys all have differing styles and schools of thought. But I like Trucks AND Frusciante.
40's, 52 etc is not old. Man, you young folks think anyone over the age of 40 is dead or something. 80% of the people 25 and under I jam with can't keep up with me. Age means shit. In fact, the older you are, the better you are from live playing experience. I don't give a shit what anyone says. As a pro musician for over 25 years, I know what I'm talking about. The competition crap went out with Shrapnel Records too, by the way.
i think the first is "After Midnight" from his first solo album "Eric Clapton", and the second one it's "Little Queen Of Spades" from "Me and Mr. Johnson" a tribute to Robert Johnson. Just Amazing =)
what song(s) is this? oh and just a side note, guitar playing isn't a competition so why don't all of you calm down, duane allman said it best, (slightly paraphrased) "we don't keep score with this guitar playing thing"
i mean in clapton's auto he says derek's guitar playing is seems to have no limit...to say derek doesn't play with soul is like saying clapton's playing isn't influenced by the blues. perhaps you haven't got it yet b/c derek doesn't show much emotion while he plays. close your eyes man so you can open them!!!
whoever said trucks was "soulless" probably never saw him live. saw him with clapton on the 2007 tour and could not believe what was comin through those fingers of his. truly an amazing live experience i would see again in a heartbeat
I remember an interview (I believe it was Guitar World) where Eric Clapton was asked how it felt to be the greatest guitarist in the world. Clapton pulled out his cell phone, called Trey Anastasio and said "I don't know, ask him."
Probably not even that. More like there's a Troll here looking for attention.
They run in different circles, mate. Even Derek, named after the Dominos album name didn't meet Clapton till 2007 His wife had played with Doyle Bramhall II who turned EC on to Derek's band's albums- EC just wanted him for some session slide work, but upon meeting him found they clicked & invited Trucks' band to open at Crossroads 2007 with Derek remaining in his band also to tour the world with him. Souless? LMAO
Either way a guitarist in his right mind would be as pityful to say they were the best Clapton never claims himself as the best but yet if he said Derek for example was and u asked derek, Derek might say back Eric was.. they have respect for each other, its not a competition.
"Derek still has some work to do"? you are insane. Derek doesn't need to match up to anyone. call Clapton god all you want, but no one on this planet has tone or phrasing like Trucks.
i was there too. insane Steve Jordan plays sooo deep and smooth in that pocket. I was freshly trippin out for the whole concert. Steve was so loud i could feel the bass drum in my chest and legs and the snare in my head and jaw. It was fuckin nuts. i was fully deaf for a day after
My uncle, my step dad, and myself went to this and are all sure that steve jordon had 20 cups of coffee before this, because if you guys think he was going crazy during this you should've seen Motherless Children, =D he was going crazy awesome! =D
Steve Jordan...wow!!! Gotta love his kit! [side note:J.J. Johnson is John Mayer's drummer]It's so easy to get confused because Steve Jordan also played with John Mayer and produced Continum. I believe Steve Jordan replaced Steve Ferrone- now playing with Tom Petty and the Heart Breakers). Nevertheless, this is an awesoem vid...happy drumming...Peace!!!
I thought Doyle sounded excellent, and immediately after the concert I told someone I enjoyed Doyle's playing more than Derek's. Nobody touches Eric though.
oh my gosh i was at this concert. INSANE!!!!! Clapton and Derek Trucks my 2 favorite guitarists of all time it was great. They kinda showed Doyle Bramhall II. The acoustic section was crazy.
Hey bro. This is not on any DVD. I hope they release this next year!! Check out the crossroads DVD that arrives in stores November 20. Derek Trucks and Eric Clapton are on it!
u guys hung up on which guitarist is best miss the point here, both are dynamite but the drummer is the one that really stands out in this video! Derek often plays with 3 drummers in the ABB, but they've got nothing on Steve Jordan here.
good point...i always under-estimate the power of percussion...derek always has a strong rhythm section behind him and i think thats a big part of what helps him or anyone else shine as a guitarist. steve jordan=larger than life
i agree they are both untouchable!! i saw derek trucks band live and can easily say that it is the best concert i have ever seen...but i have many more concerts to go see so...we'll seee :)
why is it all about someone being better? clapton will never get destroyed no matter who it is so saying something like that is just stupid, even though i like derek much better and especially in this video. its not like theyre on different "teams."
Definitely not a competition, they both play like gods, Eric's just more straight ahead and Derek has more of a spooky, ethereal sound. It is nice to see Eric on the stage with someone he can't outplay, and I haven't seen Derek with someone he can't outplay since I saw him across from Jimmy Herring with ARU.
what crap blues players are notorius for using a limited pallet of notes but each has there own way of phrasing, gimmicks, vibrato/bending technique etc, clapton sounds nothing like the eratic capo playing of collins, the minamalistic humingbird playin of bb king, the heavier ballad playing of green, or the very bendy buddy guy, so next time so try and say the'god' of british blues guitar sounds like any other guitarist think it through
Eric and Derek -- rock and rock, rock and roll!! Derek Trucks is jammin' and Eric is better than ever. What a rockin' team! They should play together more often. Whoa!
You were really lucky to see that show - thanks for posting the video so the rest of us could see it. I've been a Clapton fan since way back and I don't think I've seen footage of him playing with quite this intensity and speed in a long time.
You are welcome brother! This was the 4th time I saw Eric Clapton. Minneapolis, MN (1992)- Fargo, ND (2001)- St.Paul, MN (2004) and this show St.Paul, MN (2006) - - - this was the best show of all! This was the first date of the 2006/2007 U.S tour. They were so full of energy!!
amazing, i saw this show in september in minnesota but i do have to say it wasnt worth its money, they played for like an hour, so its was like a dollar per minute of music, but its Clapton so fuck it!
I heard Eric on the radio home from work one day saying he lost some of his skills over the years, then I watched this and a couple other recent videos and I was just thinking no way
Amen, BluesMike23....you've studied your bible well. Nobody on earth; not Hendrix, not Ray, not NOBODY will ever touch Eric's ability to rip out your fucking insides with his playing....
there are only 3 people i can listen to playing slide...johnny winter,duane allman and derek trucks...other than that...i'm not a big fan of slide guitar
Thats no after midnight solo, the song's called Little Queen of Spades... no doubt bout it, Trucks is great, a virtuoso, but Clapton... well, he's God
Man you are right. Went to an '06 summer tour concert, man. It was a lot to chew on. And I'm very lucky that I got to see such an amazing band, considering I'm 14 and not to many good bands are around.
I saw this show twice in Raliegh and Jacksonville and I now have tickets to see them in Detroit. I too hope they release this on DVD. Trucks is very impressive and Clapton is Clapton! Enough said.
freaking incredible. i saw them on this tour. sooooo good. any idea where this is? i definitely agree with the person who said it cut off at a terrible point. still incredible
Hello fellow Derek Trucks fans! Sorry about the cut point, I ran out of memory! This was taken at Eric Clapton's first U.S stop of his tour-Excel Energy Center in St.Paul, Minnesota-September 16, 2006.

Man you are right. Went to an '06 summer tour concert, man. It was a lot to chew on. And I'm very lucky that I got to see such an amazing band, considering I'm 14 and not to many good bands are around.

I was there, and Derek is the new God of Guitar. If any one has audio from this show, please fucking
Email me, I'll trade what ever you want. They started that tour with a BANG!

I saw this show twice in Raliegh and Jacksonville and I now have tickets to see them in Detroit. I too hope they release this on DVD. Trucks is very impressive and Clapton is Clapton! Enough said.

Hello fellow Derek Trucks fans! Sorry about the cut point, I ran out of memory! This was taken at Eric Clapton's first U.S stop of his tour-Excel Energy Center in St.Paul, Minnesota-September 16, 2006.

What the fuck?! Where's the rest? You cut it off EXACTLY at the worst point to do so. Darn. Awesome though.
