[40carlosmc]

[TheRochman15021992]

Now That's a Guitar Solo!! Awesome!!

[bernardinho07]

Five people are deaf

[seristar]

A little bit slower than usual?

[asqrss3233]

Hey is that steve gaad on drums?

[jlt4926]

@asqrss3233 That's him. He's toured a lot with Clapton.

[cgabler91191]

Excellent post! I found an even better version of this song, search out youtube and look for this song at the 2004 Crossroads festival. It has the complete song with a face-tearing solo at the end!!

[losaface4]

I have watched and listened to hundreds off Eric's live performances, and he Still amazes me.

[jamiec1414]

WHOA! 6:10 - 6:30 some very sexy guitar indeed. Go King Dick Clapton

[zaldivarjohn]

Great rendition!

[orschiro]

Definitely one of the best versions of him. The guitar has a great tune though a bit inconvenient for his style.

[Marcoeliasful]

Amazing audio!! (Y)

[operation755]

Anybody can easily grab this mp3 file at soundnabber..com

[Mrmaniac15765]

what day was this

[kiminote2009]

レインボーホールで、聞いたけど、いやいややってるなァって思っ­た。

復活はやめたほうが良かったかなと思ったけど・・・

[Aufdie87]

I can watch guitarists jamming all day, but as soon as I see Clapton get his pick on those strings, the chills go up my spine.

[oravkin]

it's really funny to me see Eric Clapton singing about planting weed :)

[nw8000]

Who do you think invented raga? ERIC CLAPPTON! LOL

[nw8000]

I like white blokes playing ragga lol

[MrMusicM67]

[MrMusicM67]

Where did u find this?

[081350616754]

yes,,,he's a GOD of guitar and he has his own character when he plays and keep bring the BLUES soul inside your music uncle=)

[ronaldmikaelmagadia]

he's a guitar god, he should be included in mythology... eric clapton, guitar god... shit,, he blew my mind off....

[crashcomp]

I don't think u'll see another man on this planet playing with more feeling than Sir Eric Clapton.

[macgiver351]

its so great to be alive in a generation with eric clapton still living... a living legend everyone, as if you's did'nt know that already why else would you be watching his videos! well for any newcomers behold a music genius....

[damugman]

@macgiver351

Dude, I'm gonna fuckin cry when this guy dies. Not tryin' to say it like that, but really I am.

[thehomefront]

sounds a bit shit

[BigRussOvBs9]

Yes Steve Gadd On Drums Nathan East On bass Greg Philigane on keyboards and Andy Fairweather Low on Guitar

[Fox622003]

Is that Steve Gadd on drums?!

Fox.

[jazzmann94]

The solo is incredible!

[plowhand247]

Bob wrote it, but Eric owns it.

[cudeothoixongham]

He locked himself in a room for a couple years and emerged the best guitarist ever!!!

[contremisart]

is that true man?

[damugman]

dude this improvisation is fuckin nuts. It could be a hit solo on an album for sure. There's a lot of live versions of this song on youtube and not one version sounds like another. this guy's the man

[Killemall04]

@damugman

Eric is just too fucking good. What I would do to play like him.

[Foorehtnossip]

Very nice , i keep coming back to hear this one ... thanx to reefer

[chrisnasif]

haha I didn't know Japanese people liked Eric Clapton

[sifs4]

@chrisnasif everyone likes clapton :)

[242176]

Great vid!! The best version of this song I've ever heard- the last 3 minutes was awesome!

[Phoenixforced]

Great video. Really good camera work, for a bootleg! Usually they're really bad, this one was awesome!

[townshend445]

Is that custom or factory strat?

[LeifJohan]

custom strat. Painted by John Crash.

Clapton had three of them, now he only has two, he sold the third at the Crossroads 2004 festival after he played it :)

[Hendrik0027]

I think his voice has improved as he ages.

[MrMakore]

@Hendrik0027 i think too :)

[macgiver351]

@Hendrik0027 and his guitar skills.. excellent stuff.

[WNxLigerzx]

@Hendrik0027

yup totally sounds more raspy

i think it suits his blues singing more =D

[jprridolfi]

@Hendrik0027 His voice and playing keep getting better with the time! Experience and experiment is everything!

[ronniepilgrim357]

@Hendrik0027 i agree 100%

[5cotte2Hotte]

what happened to the end? ...... shitty end to a great performance

[BluesGee]

3:00 yes!

[EliteGamingInc]

[dugobradi]

Nice indeed xD

Eric Clepton is a real master of guitar!!!

We all love you, you're the MAN!!!

[EliteGamingInc]

FAIL you like him so much? Spell his name right.

[chucksteak85]

jimi hendrix was one of his best friends

[CYCLOS25]

trop fort Eric!!!

[thetevinator]

The Second Greatest Guitarist of All Time!

[Bigbluesboy]

wrong... The greatest (Y)

[thetevinator]

That's your opinion and you're entitled to it...sir.

[boogiedancer81]

I read his whole fucking Autobiography. Born in Ripley, England, he was never racist. In fact, he had black members in his first band, which many people took a disliking to, but he found nothing wrong with it. He was never racist.

[mcfarmland]

5:15 to 5:30 just unbelievable guitaring there dont seem real

[bardock19929]

sounds good.

[614samuel]

You r a muppet tis2nwod! have you read eric claptons autobiography?! he heard about te song before it was famous, asked Bob Marley if he could cover it, and bob marley said yes. he then released it as a single, and it was huge, only later did bob marley become famous for his version! He is NOT racist!!!

[nemujh]

El Dios de la Guitarra!!!!!!!!

[KTalon86]

Eric Clapton fucking rules! I love it when a cover song is good enough to compare to or even eclipse it's original. Bob Marley wrote it. Eric Clapton defined it.

[KTalon86]

What Arrogance? The man asked if he could cover it, Bob said yes and Clapton made it better (In my opinion) you're a foolish tool, Clapton dosen't have roots in Racism, show me where he has roots in racism that's a creidble site or source and I'll eat my foot, until then sir, I bid you a fond, Fuck off and hope you can stop posting idiotic & racist related comments to make you feel better about your tiny dick & loser lifestyle, get a life.

[dugobradi]

That what you said is bullshit, both versions of this song are good, so if you don't like it, why are you listening to it??? Stupid FooL

[kzearo]

Well clearly the hundreds of black artists who Eric has worked with don't think he's "racist". It would also be very strange if Eric was racist given that all of his favourite bluesmen were black - Robert Johnson, Freddie King etc.

BB King - a Mississippi man who understands racial oppression better than most - famously said that he has 'never met a better man or a more gracious man, than Eric Clapton'. Funny thing for him to say given that Eric is supposedly "racist" eh?

You are a fool.

[damugman]

@kzearo

seriously, and literally most of his band is black. must b cause he's racist right?

[tis2nwod]

Search 'Eric Clapton Racist Guardian' and find what he said. Yes, it was a drunken rant at a concert, so you might think that it was ok... Then he did an interview with Uncut Magazine and stood by his words. No, he wasn't drunk again and he didn't deny what he said at the gig. However, it is odd that many musicians who he works with are black after considering the above.

I'm no fool for thinking someone is racist for the hurtful things he said.

[danigoni]

Cool, do you have more of this bootleg??

[Pisco1412]

Why do you put such a negative connotation?

[danigoni]

What do you mean?????

[Pisco1412]

The word "bootleg" just has this negative connotation to it.

[toefting]

"Bootleg" is not a negative connotation... It will be fantastic to watch more of this concert!

[jae19882005]

bootleg beatles

[sammusicman11]

what the hell r u on about

[Handomobile]

nah, it's the other way around.

[buckethead111]

bob marley wrote it clapton covered it.

[bornfromashes2008]

nah, clapton does a good cover.

[wolfensteiner2]

I shot the sheriff is a cover song,,,, in blues every body covers songs... so its not stealing if u cover a song!!!

[Pioperus]

Super !

[sfocelot]

yeah it was Bob Marley in 1973 who originaly done this song

[MorrisField]

[sfocelot]

[IronRick12]

[nomoreblo]

[joebrassmonkey]

That lick he does from 6:04-6:13 is not something he does often. sounds like one of his licks from Cream.

[Eue7]

Yeah that's right! Never heard this lick before.. But sounds great.

[RoninMiro]

i'm so glad CLAPTON made this version, and so....

BOB mARLEY FOR EVER!!!

[yuval1101]

Amazing!!!

When I was 13, I saw this live in Osaka Jo Hall.

[JotheBytle]

Wow, is this solo great. every solo is different than on other videos. but great great great. happy birthday EC, and all the best for your future

[xkingd117x]

Wow. What an amazing solo. I think this solo is better than Layla's even... wow.

-D

[Dappidu]

This is the reason why I hate the Warner Brothers..

They have the complete recording of this live and we have to search everywhere to get those recording...incredible...

[Handonam]

yup, i have more but from another night in osaka. Once i have enough time (probably not until next next weekend because i have midterms), i'll upload some more chunks from that. they arne't as clear as this one though, as it was shot in a different angle.

[Dappidu]

I got too tht live (2006 no?)

The I shot is cut (start from second verse)

Layla was a great recording! Reallt close to the musician

[Handonam]

nah this was 2003. after this year, he replaced the band with new people (except for the keyboard player). He picked up doyle in 2004. this current guitarist is andy.

[Dappidu]

Right. I understood.^^

[MrMusicM67]

@Dappidu where can u find it???

[Dappidu]

One of the best!

Mid valley for president! ;)

[guitarslinger808]
