  • I love you Eric and Blackie  :-)

  • No way could you dislike this...

  • * * * * *

    AWESOME

  • AFL has played rhythm for clapton for eons. Cool to see him finally get to step out.

  • A very nice performance of Andy :-). 

  • Its shocking that the older Clapton gets the better...!

    

  • AFL is still doing it !, i saw him playing support for EC. in dublin 2 nights ago...Thats an incredible version of Gin House..

  • 'ole Andy has got himself a fine lead guitarist there I wonder who he is?

  • This is the only video I've seen without a single dislike. How appropriate!

  • Awesome !! Outstanding!! Not from this world

  • very good song! has anybody the tabs?

  • wonder what clapton's bracelet says

  • I have had the honour of seeing Fairweather Low,live.

    What a fucking gig.

    I recommend anyone to see him live,an outstanding artist.

    He interacts with the audience,makes you feel part of the experience,brilliant guy.

    Played with all the greats,unmissable performer.

  • @robert140602 He's the loveliest man you could meet

  • The more i hear this, the more it cements my opinion that popular music thesedays is trash. The solo is just incredible!

  • Andy Is God!

  • @7814679 nah, he is not, Clapton is :). but he is a pretty gifted player (and singer) none the less.

  • Is that Gadd on drums?

  • @robert140602

    Sounds like Gadd. No one beats the shit out of the drums quite like him. :)

  • @robert140602

    Gadd it is!

  • @robert140602 Gadd it is!

  • Clapton should have let Andy have the solo (the whole spotlight) Clapton sounds great here but come on, give Andy a nod. eh

  • ANDY FAIRWEATHER LOW!!

  • That's the first time i've seen EC play slide i didn't think he played slide. Anybody know if this is a rare thing for him or is there more EC slide around?

  • @Trevmitchell I've seen clapton at Hard Rock Calling, his entierly acoustic session was in slide blues i remember, no it's not so rare !

  • @Trevmitchell he plays it on the unplugged album a lot..and also i think he does it on the derek and the dominos album along with duane allmans slide..

  • @bennyhaist Yes, Clapton played slide also on 461 Ocean Boulevard and other 70's albums. He played it on Tulsa Time and on Money and Cigarettes and of course on the great From The Cradle-album. He also uses slide at some point on almost all his concerts.

  • @slunky08 Clapton is a great silde player..

  • I wish Andy would tour with him again, I love what he brings to the table. This is one of my favorites along with "If Paradise is Half as Nice".

  • Andy I still love you! Gin House made a woman outa me. I was a mother at 16 in 1970. I'd do it all again Andy. I absolutely love this. Thank you.

  • The finest rendition of this song ever recorded.  Andy has the perfect voice and range for this song. As for EC, he does what he normally does, moves you to tears.

  • I'd put Clapton up against anyone, period.

  • @ghb61 Cray destroys Clapton 24/7 mate.

  • @robert140602

    That comment proves that either you're crazy, or that you don't know what you're talking about (or both). Cray can't touch Clapton.

  • @ghb61 you've obviously never heard Cray,back to school,idiot.

    Please don't bother replying.

  • oh man, you don´t know...clapton was playing gibson sg when he was with cream...!!! xD

  • what a godly solo

  • nice...really nice....!!! hats off to these guys....

    Fernando

  • hear this.. You know you have heard the best

  • Screw Slow-Hand...he gets his.

    Andy is the man through and through. No lime-light for that ole dog,... just a true love for the music that puts him center-stage in my book wherever he goes with or without EC. They do well together though!

    Andy- Love for ya brother.

  • Clapton is the best of the best of the best and this solo is one of his best.

  • @ssketer4, yes you're right... Blues it improvisation and this is beautiful. This is music from heart.

  • ...The man is awesome, he NEVER plays it the same twice!!!!

  • Nobody is a better guitar player than Clapton, I`m sorry! Not even jImi gets close. Jimi is a better showman but nobody can hit the sweet notes like Eric.

  • Clapton admitted that Jimi was better, call it modesty but they are comparable guitarists not in style but skill.

  • nice...i 've been here in yokohama arena ;)

  • Clapton is God...my argument is watertight after seeing/hearing that solo.

  • clapton's is a beast...

  • I saw Andy with Roger Waters on his Dark Side of the Moon tour '07. He sat at the back of the stage then he got up up and ripped out an aweomse solo during Another Brick in the Wall p.2 he was insanely good and I couldn't believe he was just finger picking the whole time!

  • Was funny to see clapton in the background at first. When he stands up, you think, hum solo time? And oh yeah does he give you what you expect... You know he's going to do something good, but each time he surprises you

  • These two are great together. Very nice!

  • let this man live for ever

  • F*****g awesome!!!

  • Andy Fairweather Low and GOD himself killing it on this tune. I love it.

  • If only simon cowell could see this, it might educate him as to what music is really about.

  • @scotty1075 very much agreed, my friend

  • @scotty1075 You are so right what a load of Hype that X factor is, people like Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix would never have got past the auditions.

  • great, saw Andy last night in Darwen too, go and see this man on his current tour take your kids if you want them to see a guitar master and a great band magic....

  • Going to see Andy tonight at Darwen Library...oooohh!!!

  • First saw Andy with Amen Corner in London many many years ago. This is a great version of the song with Eric Clapton's Band. Thank you so much for the opportunity to see this video.

  • i need to go lay down

  • ya what everyone else said. im not sure what its like to have mutliple repeating orgasms but now i have an idea...

  • OMG AMAZING !!!! Whoever posted this video should get a gold medal for outstanding service to humanity !!!!

  • absolutely amazing. Andy singing. He can definitly sing. The solo of EC is not from this world. Wished i Would be there.

  • Great one :) Haven't heard AFL like that before, and eric solo is just splendid !

  • Thank you my friend for sharing this one - I'll pass it on.....

  • Phen-effin-omenal!!

  • I thought Animals cover was best but it was before i hear this.10 points

  • Powerful, didnt want it to end.

    True blues and crisp and clear, what a guitar break from Eric, well done Andy a true cardiffian, you get better with age.

    What a wonderful song to hear again, and again, and again.

  • awesome solo. EC is a guitar god

  • great post...i had the pleasure of meeting andy at rthe roundhouse one sunday night in the early 70s...who would recognise him now?

  • Can someone tell me if I am able to buy this concert somewhere?

  • Shadowfaghost! You have echoed my thoughts for years. I adore Clapton and many other guitarists, drummers, keyboardists, etc. I have always said...There are no greatest anything! So odd and so real. I thought you were me! Thanks for saying it though.

  • I can't believe people waste the time to argue over who's the best guitar player.... Listen & enjoy the magic of the moment. Players at this level don't care.

  • Thanks for posting this. It is a great performance of Gin House.

  • I'd read your drivel but I can't be bothered anymore, instead I'm going to listen to some good guitarists and let you sit in your mothers basement to argue about Hendrix through the night. Peace.

  • Get off his cock. Hendrix practically invented his own style which is comparable to none, sure, but you can't go undermining talent like this.

    Each guitarist has his strengths and I don't rate any over another i just listen to the music, I don't try to pick the flaws or attempt to prove who is the best, there is no such thing as THE GREATEST GUITARIST IN THE WORLD mainly because there will always be someone who is better than you or better than you at a certain thing.

  • What a solo!!

  • A real great vocal performance by Andy Fairweather Low, I really like this version and Clapton's solo is superb, thanks for posting this beautiful moment

  • Andy Fairweather-Low is going for it! excellent

  • The only git player I like over Clapton is Hendrix but next on the list is EC, man he's bad mother.....

  • How about SRV? he was unbelievable.

  • SRV is Fanfuckintastic too however EC is the senior man on the seen so I believe the top spot is his. You know, respect, history and all that.....

  • 1.- Stevie ray Vaughan

    2.- Eric Clapton

    3.- Jimi Hendrix

    (its what i think about guitar levels, not for likely, cause i prefer clapton's music above all)

  • Yes, he was...So many unbeliveable pickers...I wish you guys would quit putting one down under another. They're all great in their own way. I mean, Clapton, Hendrix, Stevie, Mike Bloomfield, Duane, BB King...Freddie King, Albert King, Ry Cooder, Derrick Trucks, Johnnie Winter, Hubert Sumlin, Albert Collins, Jeff Beck, Otis Rush, Jimmie Rodgers, Duke Robillard, Ronnie Earl, Django, Roy Buchannon, Jimmie Vaughn, Segovia, Jeff Healy, Joe Bonamassai, and I haven't even really named Jazzers...great..

  • You are soooooooo right! They are all "chosen" and stood up to the call. A hard life with great burdens to shoulder.

  • I belive that Jimi Hendrix was right, Clapton was best.. BB King said that to, and Buddy Guy was secound to him..

  • You must have fogotten abouut his 4 top ten hits with Amen Corner, or his other top ten hits with Fair Weather or his other work with Roger Waters, Pete Townsend, Bill Wyman, Joe Satriani etc. He did Gin House on Jools Holland recently, everyone at my place watching it (and playing with him) was visibily moved. I am not sure he was kicked off playing with Clapton. Still, you clearly didn't know very much at all before you commented. He is really feeling it mate - I know.

  • He wasn't fired. As far as I know he just decided to pursue different things.

  • Rubbish, he feels the music more than many. He is a really talented guy in his own right, look him up. Why do you think Clapton wants him in his band?

  • Yeah he's... well....not sure what you would call him

  • this is why I love youtube :-)

  • Wow, thats pretty agressive for '99

    Cool!

  • This was done by the Animals (eric burdon) 45 years ago. It is a great version, worth finding. Always been huge on Clapton and what a surprise to find him doing this. Love it !

  • what a solo

  • I love how Clapton and Andy bow to each other when the guitar solo ends.

  • A great number. Amen Corner was part of my youth.I love Andy, and let's face it,Eric can do no wrong. Long may these guys perform, together or seperately..........they,re marvellous!!!

  • Just been to see Andy Fairweather Low at the Tivoli, Wimborne Dorset, UK along with 100 0r so other lucky people. OK so it would have been good to have Eric there but the boys did good, real good.

  • i just came across this song from another night of this tour.the solo is completely different and for any clapton fan certainly worth checking out

  • Been listening to these guys since I was a kid (a long-long time ago), and stuff like this makes you ask....who's gonna replace them?

    Thanks for posting this video...great stuff

  • this song is really growing on me. :) love his fiery solo.

  • What a voice!! I grew up through my teens watching these guys both live and on TV. I bought Amen Corner singles and the first edition of the Beano album. I saw EC with George and Delaney & Co. I saw A.F.L. on the same bill as Hendrix. Look, Listen, Feel and Learn!! F**K Strats, Tele's, LP's or whatever. See if you can do this good.

    This is a stunning performance, especially from Andy, try to appreciate it

  • Hear his voice...

  • Why does he ALWAYS play a strat? Doesn't he have anything else?

  • Ask Hendrix the same question... Or Gilmour... Or ask me... Or to the half of the world... *stupid question*

  • Hendrix played Gibsons as well. As far as I know Clapton has played nothing but a strat for nearly 40 years when playing electric. I love the strat, but I like a bit of variety too. At the Cream reunion a few years ago Clapton's strat sounded weedy alongside Baker and Bruce.

  • It's a common misunderstanding, that Clapton doesn't use Gibsons, but Clapton has played Gibsons and Martins throughout his 45-year career. There's lots of Clapton with Gibsons videos on YouTube, even on my channel :)

  • Clapton plays Gibson now and then, most ESS 335.. Gibson have i singnature model of ESS 335 with Clapton's name on, Clapton bought a ESS 335 in 1964...

  • lucky. id kill for an EC-335

  • OMG!!! unfuckinbelievable solo!

  • Haha yeah that's right about he saves the best playing for the Japanese:P

    I hope that someone get's an answer on that some day;)

  • This demonstrates what a great singer and understated (a word that does not necessarily apply to Eric)guitar player Andy Fairweather-Low is. A brilliant version of a classic.

  • wow...lol...incredible. this tour looks like it was awesome!

  • There's something about when he picks up blackie in front of a crowd? It's just, magical, words can't even explain how natural and easy he makes it look, master of his talent!

  • I love it! Amazing! One of the best solo i've heard him play.

  • worthy of a top five spot in his all time live performamnces.anyone disagree?clapton fans that is.cheers for the post

  • how come he always saves his best playing for the Japanese? lol

  • Wow. I love Clapton, and once again I find a clip on Youtube that proves him to be (excuse my language) the FUCKIN SHIT! This is a real musician, not timbaland, spear, aguliara, etc

  • You do realize that your post is contradicting itself.

    You are saying he is a real musician, but.. you are also saying he is fucking shit.

    Which is negative..

    -_-

  • If you did notice, i put the article "the" in front of "fuckin shit". I didn't say he is fuckin shit, i said he is THE fuckin shit, which is a big difference man!

  • Not really...Saying that he is "the shit" is still negative.

  • It's a cultural thing...saying someone is "the shit" is like saying "the dogs bollocks". In the UK at least, saying someone or something is "the dogs bollocks" is a complement, and is not implying that the person/thing is the testicle of a canine :o)

    And EC is THE dogs bollocks!

  • Slunky 08 - Thank you!!! Like others above I have been dying to see this song by Andy Fairweather-Low ever since it was shown on Japanese TV some 8 years back. He stole the show from Clapton and I have never been able to forget it. Thanks to Slunky & You-tube I can see it again. And again. For those who want a another high see Clapton & Billy Preston do "River of Tears". Try not to cry.

  • That guy Andy looks like he should be a dentist, or a high school english teacher! Ha! Pretty decent chops, though...

  • Lol!!

  • Very Nice.

  • This might be the finest Clapton clip I've ever seen.

  • WOW I've wanted to see this for so long! Great singing and even better playing. Do you have a dvd bootleg of this whole show?

  • Yeah, there's a whole show around in DVD quality, sourced from a Japan TV broadcast.

  • Awesome! I figured it was out there but I checked multiple torrent sites and asked a Cream msg board if anyone had it and came up negative for both. Do you know of a torrent site I could find it on? If not could I mail you a couple dvds? This song, the Layla intro, and She's Gone are worth the entire show!

  • specialagentslowhand, In fact I'm on the Cream msg board :) and was already on the original Cream 2005 official one. I'm sure you got some of my video clips on that :)

    You should see my email on the Cream board....

  • What's the link to the Cream board?

  • Ok, i have to say this is the video I was craving to see on youtube! Andy does a great job, but that solo...I don't care how hard it is to play, or technique or whatever, all I know is that it almost has a physical effect on me. It may very well be one of the greatest performances ever uploaded on youtube. Thank you, slunky ;)

    I have yet another request to make to you, if I may ^^ From the same concert - Ramblin' on my mind :)

    Thank you again!
