[matty3279]

[matty3279]

that aint a house, thats the recording studio in wales i believe, where queen recorded bohemian rhapsody

[luckyjinxer]

holly hannah what a big house

[shar704]

dats not a house :s

[bigbill987987]

clapton is a wanker

[skint0n0minted]

i think you're just jealous.

[JohnWeirdoe]

but he's still slowhand

[mak1685]

I think the whole idea of commenting has lead youtube viewers down a path of mindless shunning of things they don't understand

[DeadJerker]

I think it just adds to the fun

[Cldfsn0200]

What a fricken phenomenal crane shot to open this clip. That is one of the coolest I've seen since Dirty Harry... the scene where he steps on the psycho's leg wound in the football field and the helicopter pulls back a mile literally! You know I'm both a bluesguitar player and a film maker!

[doh3jjh]

Can you imagine the camaraman talking to his kids when he got home that night...

'So I was filming... then the world's greatest guitarist pulls up, steps out of his 911 and says "Lets Rock!"... '

just too cool!

[boffin92]

Clapton drives a 911 carerra o.o

[strangerfrommars]

well I think it was a "factory second" or something. The steering wheel was on the wrong side.

[Brutuss33]

That's blues only need a real bluesman..

The band full of good guys but they sounds like a piece of shit playing a cliche.

Nice car...

[youbobwhatsnew]

You don't know what you're talking about. Clapton is easily a 'real blues man.'

[girldrummer81]

Me and Mr. Johnson it's a great cd a good tribute to Robert Johnson and Steve Gadd (the drummer) is one of the greatest drummers. So if you like blues, if you like the good music, this cd from Clapton is for your collection.

[williestratton]

hahahahahahaha muddy wawtas

i like aric clapton, hes a cool chappy

[FatMaro]

Nathan East is my hero.

[IdrisDragon1]

Bass player at 2.32 makes it look so easy!

[AirGuitarChampion]

*throws away bass guitar*

there just aint no point in me trying.

[bigfatgreek]

lol nathan east is a legend

[LedLizzy]

Saw this on tv one day and got glued to the television, brilliant stuff.had to buy the album me and mr. johnson, one of my favourites now!

[msannie1]

This is one of my most treasured DVD's.

[roswell1965]

Not many DVD's can be considered "treasures" but this is definetly one!!! The Cream Reunion DVD is another.

[theescondidoroad]

Sweet, sweet music; by some great musicians. Me and Mr. Johnson.....one of my favorite CDs. Thanks for posting this.

[DBAD14]

great song and build up

[MacRaisen]

is that billy preston?

[roswell1965]

Yes it is Billy Preston. Why is this question getting thumbs down votes? Bizarre.

[aarfeld]

Could you list the other musicians on this session for us--if you happen to know who they are?

[callyjohnwell]

All i can tell you is that the drummer is Steve Gadd (famous session drummer, some artists include Simon and Garfunkle)

[coolasstank]

You can get this on DVD along with a CD on Robert Johnson's music covered of course by Eric Clapton. It's a good cd, thanks man!

[libertyfalls]

Nice porsche... Money is awesome...!

[danigoni]

is that his home??

[boryskow]

nope, it's a hotel room

[tyler124307]

yeah it is his home they dont go to the hotel room until later

[smewr]

yo ????? Please, no "yo"

[classicor]

what's wrong with yo? just because i'm of the newer generations and it's part of my vocab i don't deserve to use it on a clapton page? i love clapton, he's my guitar idol

[dumena]

Yo! Well put! Yo as much as you like. Good reply!

[classicor]

yo clapton's got A RIDE

[waynechanhaoran]

yea man..and its freaky coz if u watched this jap interview of him way back with George Harisson..he says the exact same thing when he comes out from his car

[nos1988josh]

lol ya i saw that inteveiw and was thinking the same thing

[redrocker1055]

Robert Johnson is the grandfather of all modern music. His music was haunting, I swear when i listen to him he makes one guitar sound like three!

[TrueMusou]

Man...Nathan East is a wizard

[PonderSnail]

Brilliant, blues through and through - just makes me want to close my eyes and listen all day. Clapton's soul pours through in his playing and singing. What a great man

[finchley999]

I'm not sure but I think the strat hes playing is one of a limmited number of guitars painted by the 80s graffiti artist "crash". I know Clapton has an interest in nyc subway art. Not sure it works on guitars tho?

[murderer11]

if memory serves me correct he got that guitar made for his crossroads guitar festival

[BATENKILL]

It's so different i love it

[captainphoenix]

I think he should have found someone else to do vocals (cause that goes with age) and just gone nuts on guitar (RJ style).

[erj215]

Robert Johnson was 27 when he died and Clapton is twice that now... so if anything he should sound better than Robert J... wrong! blues dont come with age or experience it simply comes from feeling! if you feel it you can convey it

[Bluesboyfella]

i just noticed clapton has a awesome car.

[gixxerloverletsgo21]

the man's taste for cars is as good as his taste for music :-)

[Bluesboyfella]

yeah yeah yeah!!!!! woot!

[bigmangavin]

In the case of this video I'd beg to differ on the matter of his taste for guitar design, though.

[gixxerloverletsgo21]

i kinda like the strat's design, i'm tired looking @ those black ones

[thomasperry88]

So much awesome in one room

[DonRua]

Clapton once said he'd be lucky if he could understand half of Johnson's stuff in his life time. My lady friend was born and raised 30 miles from Johnson's hometown. She has never heard of Johnson. In her younger years (60's) kids were NOT allowed to listen to BLACK music. Irony - a chap from another continent dying to understand the man yet he was pretty much "outlawed" in his home town/state.

[CoolJack2]

cheesy vocals

[kabsawthestarz]

shut up!! they are not cheesy vocals!!

[rnewhook69]

This stuffs awesome. Me and my friend are starting to play stuff like this and i have never had so much fun jamming. EVER! You can get soooo into these songs. Just start soloing and dont stop for a few minutes. damn its way to much fun!

[gmaharriet]

Love Chris Stainton on piano. He gets an old-time "rinky tink" sound I'd have killed to learn back when my parents forced me into studying classical piano.

[SunnyCool]

studying classic isn't such a bad thing hehe.... Having said that, I've never studied classic. :P

[mkeywork]

i play the piano i just love playing its so relaxing

[majvdl]

Why do I love this song so much? I am completely addicted. Someone with music knowledge around who can suggest similar songs which blend grief with a kind of swing? To my ears, even other songs of Johnson do not have this quality.

[Scorpiojazz]

Pick up Claptons "from the cradle" cd. Theres tons of it on there. This song is infectious because of the key (Am) that its done in and the circulating riff that surrounds the melody.

[majvdl]

I was wrong. The song Little queen of spades has the same quality as this one.

[GedZoso]

steve gadd is a brilliant drummer

[mkeywork]

the best best best best guitar player

[page7978]

Theres a geezer from the Sopranos playing drums for Clapton... jesus theyre gonna whack some fucker... good stuff, never liked Clapton, too middle of the road for me, but his passion for Johnson is undeniable and infectious.

[theunusualbreed]

Nathan East is a pretty hench bassist.

[SunnyCool]

Eric, nice drives up with a Porsche hehe

[gregory49]

robert johnson sessions

[Azrael888]

What DVD's this

[grandolph1964]

Yeah the stuff EC and Doyle II do acoustically at the end of the DVD is supreme...

[ikbenpappe]

nice car too :D

[dbfan]

Love this dvd!!!
