  • "Nothing but the Blues"- the best blues documentary never released!

  • Don't usually like Clapton's playing, but this is actually awesome!

  • @TomWrightMusician agreed

  • Best 240p ever :)

  • The first 52 seconds of this is breathtaking. If you could learn to play just that section with the ease that he plays it, you could play any blues song ever written.

  • That vibrato's just sick!!!

  • This series of blues is the best! For all you Clapton fans, look up the live TV recording called "Early in the Morning". Eric just shines on that one as well. He plays some of the most amazing guitar solos on that song.

  • If only I could play the piano like that, or even grow hair like that

  • 25 dislikes??? Are you guys out of your f*****g minds?? Mankind has no use for you, leave.

  • Not only has he introduced us to blues history, Eric is blue's history in the making. "Everyday" is a suitable title.

  • Eric I have them blues with you my guitar man! You have brought me so many good times...just a fan but one that loves you!

  • wonderful!

  • This is school for any guitar player who aspires to play blues. Just awesome. Eric Clapton plays with such assurance its ridiculous and his singing is very underrated IMO. With Jimi Hendrix and Johnny Winter, my favorite blues players. Ah hell, through Alvin Lee in there as well for jazz-blues.

  • @joemysteryguitar Eric Clapton has few equals in this genre of music. I think his blues playing is one of most disciplined styles. He is the real deal, and I can say that his live performances were right up there with Buddy Guy, BB King and Stevie Ray Vaughan.

  • @cgabler91191 He has no equals

  • @butrokkek I agree. After thinking about the concert I saw this year, Eric did the acoustic version of "Driftin Blues" with just acoustic guitar and a mic, no band and no effects. The crowd was in awe. I just thought about what you said, Buddy, Stevie and B. B. King would not do that, they could not pull it off.

  • @butrokkek This is Eric Clapton and his band

  • YES!!!

  • Who is the band?????

  • ROCK ON ARUBA91961, YOU ARE SO RIGHT...

  • WOW! When you can play like Eric, the TV guys won't mind what kinda wardrobe you're putting on for the show.

    "You're going to wear that pyjama-like thing for your blues gig?"

    -"Yeah. I'm Eric Clapton."

    "OK."

  • @thehindsightTV haha love it

  • A great player at the very top of his game.

    What about that vibrato???!!!!!

  • That's a bad ass bass player he's got.

  • @Mochito88 the whole bands smokin

  • Burning, fierce tone on that Strat! He makes that front pickup hot enough to grill a BBQ on!!

  • Clapton is God with 6 strings in his hands.

  • 21 people dont have the blues everyday

  • I am 62 years old, and first saw him when I was 19. No one will ever be his equal And this, from someone who saw all the great ones. I am still rockin'. and My husband, and three kids were in the front row at Great Woods in 2008. Unforgettable!

  • beautifull surprise!!! with the years he get better and better!!!!

  • damn.. his soloing sends chills up my spine

  • Great

  • Simple the Best. Mr Eric Clapton.

  • terrible

  • @txlastrebel you are ,stupid man who have no ears for musik specal blues go back to cave idiot ,,,,

  • Comment removed

  • 20 people are IDIOTS

  • Clapton has the Blues every day .. I can have Clapton's music any day...how the heck does he do to play the Blues like that ? Must be something in the water he drinks ...

  • Got this DVD, it's fuckin' awesome.

  • Dave Bronze (Bass) and Andy Newmark (Drums) kick butt. Eric never had a better rhythm section than that.

  • he rips!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!goE.C.

  • @1spati I'm tryin man, I'm tryin. Between long work hours, and kids, it's hard to find enough time. Good for you that you have found the GROOVE, must feal mighty nice.

    Keep it up, and I hope sometime, you'll post a cover for this song.

  • love the walking bass!

  • I saw Clapton with this band at the House of Blues in New Orleans during his 1994 "Nothing But the Blues" tour. Anybody who thinks he is overrated is just plain crazy.

  • The track should've been called 'Every Day I Can Play The Blues'.

  • jbnweuhdfwebrfuyebnwfiu3rhngfu­ierngrtngiurnhtiorjmgiortjgioe­iog

  • this man so efn awsum!!!!!!

  • Eric has the Blues and what a cool walking Bass line.

  • Who is the pianist? Great!!! I remember the 50's.

  • @RNMARQUES his name is Chris Stainton.

  • @20strato

    Thanks a lot for you prompt information! I have played tenor sax and accordeon in a quintet and some times I have tried playjazz but - OH GOD! - the beat in the Eric show was insane.

    Excuse for the English used here. I'm 75 years old, love swing, and I am from Brazil, Fortaleza city. You must be very happy by living the jazz country.

    Thanks again.

  • @RNMARQUES Beleive me, you are also living in a Jazz country!!! eu amo la bossa nova!

  • @sptbx

    I have had a small band when I lived in Parnaiba city, Piaui state, northeast atlantic coast in Brazil, playing tenor sax and piano with others 5 friends in the 60"s years, when I was very young. Bossa nova, boleros, rumba, mambo and fox-trots were the principals music we played every week. But you are exactly the land of the better jazz men in the world. Thaks very much for you good words. I'm happy by this.

  • i like toy caldwell's version better [marshall tucker band]

  • He does B.B proud with this version. Then he just kicks it into overdrive and rips everybody a new one!

  • Nothing is impossible is shown in this song!

  • mmmmm real music, tastes good

  • Wow!!!!! Perfect..... I like is this song....

  • @billymayer1000

    AMEN Brother

  • I think calling clapton a god is a insult to him, I think he's like 10000 miles beyond god

  • ha the piano player looks like malfoys dad lucius out of harry potter lol :D

  • Someone.... must tell me how he gets that lick atr 0:30 to work?

  • I just got a Mesa Boogie Tremoverb Combo, and it's 11:00PM EST. I feel cranking the shit outta that amp to this Killer Tune. Eric really nails this progression.I like the way Toy Caldwell did it though from the where we all belong album. Great Song, great guitar song." I said Lord Everyday, Everyday I got those No good low down, dirty rotten, stinking BLUES!!!!

  • hey i m new. can anyone tell me why people call eric clapton a legendary guitarist? i see SRV, BBking, Hendrix as really prestigious ones. but why eric clapton is on the list...? sorry for this seems-to-be foolish question :\

  • @jeffreywcf you have fantastic taste but eric clapton and srv got their influeces from older blues musicians. Eric clatpon is grouped together because he is a fantastic blues guitarist in my opinion.

  • @jeffreywcf Eric Clapton is one of my favorites, altho i must add i quite like your examples. Eric in my oppinion is known for the fact that no solo sounds the same unless you hit repeat. Besides being a great improv guitarist his live performances sometimes sound better then studiotakes which says a lot about an artist, that covers guitar where he excells in my humble oppinion is how he can put his all, his soul into his vocals.

  • @jeffreywcf Clapton is on the list because a) he was one of the original innovators of blues rock, his performances in the mid 60s inspired an entire generation of guitarist. b) perhaps you don't play blues guitar, but if u did u will quickly realise that EC's solo phrasing and technique is 2nd to none. There are times where hendrix- and even SRV are slightly out of phase with the beat and sometimes they mess things up a little, but clapton and BB king are almost always spot on- its amazing!

  • The drummer is awesome, Who is he and who is the band???

  • can you imagine how good this guy would have been i the seventies if he was clean!

  • To do list:

    1)- Spend more time practicing

    2)- Go hit the 18 dislikes in the FACE.

  • @plumb2013 one dislike in one month??? too many for eric clapton!!

  • @plumb2013 need help hitting those 19????

  • @plumb2013... really fucking hard! xD

  • @plumb2013 I finally have something down for this tune. It's very inspiring to watch this.

    If you work at this long enough, you'll get a groove going.

  • @plumb2013 great comment... that is just what I was thinking.

  • @jasonteten you are right. Clapton is the best guitarist in the whole world. :)

  • That is really rockin!

  • crazy blues woman on piano :D

  • ELMORE JAMES WOULD BE PROUD

  • Clapton really is the guitar god s.o.b.

  • 90% of the time he has his eyes closed and doesn't miss a lick...he is the last of his kind.

    Not one band today will be remembered 40 yrs from now like Eric is at 60+ and he still is their daddy.

  • @aruba91961 All I can say is watch Davy Knowles, Derick Trucks, and Joe Bonamassa. The future stands for it's self.

  • @aruba91961 sadly theyll remember the likes of justin beiber 40 yrs from now..and tease the generation for it..lol

  • you dont have to play fast fingers in guitar playing,.because fast finger will take you only hours of practice,.but the feeling of blues music will take you years and even decades to get thru it..blues is easy to play but it is hard to feel..thats why eric clapton is i think one of the best guitarist in the world

  • best version is hyde park 96 !!

  • That is some kind of walking bass line the bassist is laying down…

  • Eric is Channeling all the great blues masters of the past and he getting great reception. The man is Smokin’ on every song on the unreleased DVD “Nothin’ but the Blues”.

  • I think this is one of the best Clapton songs that I have ever heard. And trust me, I have heard a lot. There is just so much soul and feeling it's just amazing.

  • Chicha!!!

  • watch?v=46CNp89_52Y

  • Oh, my God, Eric. You have gotten so fu*king good. AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!

  • Welcome to the church of Blues! Today we study the majesty that is Prophet Clapton. As we pass the liquor Sacrament, thank the Lords of Blues and surrender your soul to that which is the awe of Clapton. Peace and great sex to you all!

  • That is a lesson in the blues, from a bluesman.

  • AWWWWW listening to this one cannot have the blues. Excellent

  • Comment removed

  • Geht doch mal auf die seite (alma ata duisburg) da ist auch ein super guter Gitarrist.

  • Is that Allman on the keyboard?

  • @majvdl an even better version? That's hard to believe! This is Clapton at his best supported by a great band (who is that playing bass? I'd kill to be able to play like that!) I'm not doubting you, mind you - if you say it's better I'll believe you, since I haven't heard the version you are referring to, but WOW! This version blew me away - great video, thanks for posting!

  • @childsplaymusic The bass player is Dave Bronze who played bass on the album From The Cradle.

  • muy buenoo! genial Clapton!

  • I saw the graffiti and it was correct - Clapton Is God

  • how do you play the lick at :29 ?

  • @acdcrulzzzz Listen to it and find out how to play it. That's the best advice. Try to learn things by ear, as well as learn other things like theory, chords, etc... but try to force yourself to transcribe things, 'cause you'll develop your listening, ear, technique, feelin', groove... etc.

  • @JusticieroDeLaMuerte

    yeah nobody sent anything soon so i just got it by ear. I can do that im just lazy lol

  • anybody knows if  he using twin amps here?

  • @GBTBUBA Vibro-king amps - 60 watts 3x10 combo

  • @GBTBUBA Vibro-king amps - 60 watts 3x10 combo. Fantastic amps, I used to have one.

  • I'm so glad I'm Canadian! Here, in Canada, it doesn't matter what colour you are! Juniorhooker your comment is disgusting! Makes me sick! How on earth does race come into commenting on how incredible a song is??? I'll absolutely never understand it!

  • This is sooooo great!

    I'd hear John Mayer's version on Where The Light Is, but didn't realise where it had come from.

    This is SWEET.

  • @Rees473 This is SWEET but ...................this song belongs to neither Clapton or Mayer. This song was written around 1947 by Memphis Slim. He used his father's name for publishing music hence if you do actually see the song credits, you'll see the name Peter Chatman.

  • IT NEVER STOPS ME WONDERING WHY PEOPLE ARE SO RACIST, ALL THE RACES, NO MATTER WHAT COLOUR. MUSIC IS MUSIC MY FRIENDS, THERE IS NO COLOUR IN MUSIC, JUST SPIRITUAL BLESSING. STOP THAT NONSENSE AND ENJOY MUSIC AS GOD GAVE TO US. PEACE...

  • All that aside, I bet phrasing and playing the right note is about as far from what he's thinking as can be. Some guys are just good enough to use a guitar as a voice. Do you pre-think every word or think about pronunciation as you talk? No, you just do it. That's what you see here in a different medium than voice.

  • fucking outstanding

  • perfect phrasing

  • Le morceau est déjà ENORME, mais cette version arrache tout!

    Clapton is God!

  • 18 people don't have ears.

  • well actually, clapton is always in his prime

  • clapton in his prime....

  • pure class!

  • Sziasztok! Bocs-bocsika a tudatlanság-tébolyomért, amért angolul se Tudok! Mégis muszáj Említsem, hogy ez a Remek Claptontól talán még Értékesebb, mint a Chicken Shacktől sokkal korábban megIsmerhetett és meg is Szerethetett Etalon-változat a talán a Go Live-ról! Van még egy Mini 2000-es is elég Jó, meg mintha Lenne -- ha megtalálom még! -- B.B. Kingtől is!

    Itt Claptonnál a Lendület és az az Intenzítás-Energizáltság szinte Orgasztikus, ami nem nagyon jellemző Eric-re, ugye?!? Köszi!

  • @1spati I've been playing for 35 years, and I listened to it over and over, and there is no flaw in the actual playing of the notes, it's perfect. I then asked my wife who's played the piano for 40 years and has an ear like a tuning machine, and she agreed. P.S. not getting crazy on you, just throwing out the facts.

  • @jdrock14 I agree! I've heard him make what I thought was a miss played note...but I was wrong. The man is a perfectionist. (and fun to watch when he's really into the picking)

  • i've got no damn word to describe this one

  • wow wow WOW! he just keeps getting better and better....

  • I love how he just gets into a t-shirt and goes out to play. Its like he forget that he had to play a concert that day and was reminded at the very last minute.

  • iv sin him play this live it was freakin awesome!

  • Do you know what puzzles me? Why a genre names 'The Blues' can bring such happiness! Am i the only one that wants to jump about when i hear something like this? This gives you something that stupid competurized shit in the charts cant! 100 per cent pure talent and joy! :-)

  • @juxeboxhero - Sometimes you can't help but jump up. Otherwise you feel too low down.

  • slowhand's the man.

  • pure and magic 5/5 !

    4.18 => 4.24 Close your eyes and you can feel the influence of Freddie King on clapton. awesome

  • pure and magic 5/5 !

  • Let me play this great just once and I'd be ready to die. Clapton may not be God but he plays guitar better!!

  • I don't care what anybody says, this tour was Clapton at his best, EVER. Everyone says the Cream /Bluesbreaker years in the mid to late 60's, and they are awesome, but the fire he played with on this tour was mind blowing. All the nay sayers at the start of the 90's who were saying he was washed up and couldn't play guitar anymore had to eat their words.

    I have a dvd copy of this film. God knows why it was never released. It is jaw dropping.

  • It never ceases to amaze me that these guys can really pull me out of a blue mood...

  • Kynatics.....I just saw a video of Ginger Baker's son - outstanding drummer! John Bonham's son, drummer., George Harrison's son, guitar, Sean Lennon (?) there are hundreds of offspring of these geniuses who could ressurect this music but where is the audience and where are the suits who would promote it????????

  • I don't care how many times I listen to this, it only gets better. Play on Clapton!

  • Words cannot express

  • I love this, Clapton is really animated!, this song has a "swing " to it and I'd love to know who the drummer is (Keltner?) the band and Eric are right there, amazing...

    and, where in the world can you get this "Documentary"????

  • I Love this performance! I hope I get to see him soon. Not easy since he seems to have cut back his schedule.

    My theme song at times.

  • clapton is a God !!

    tommy gaston

    (musician)

  • Nothing better than Eric Clapton first thing in the morning. :) What a way to wake up!!

  • This is from the live DVD live in Hyde Park - the solo sounds the same as well as he also wears this blue T-Shirt.....mhhhhhhhh

    Anyway, liked that performance.

  • @dizzykrissi ....its different

  • it looks like everyone had baggy pants in the nineties. i like the fact that he doesnt come out all dressed up. he just threw on a shirt and some jeans, picked up his guitar and went to play a concert.

  • nice jeans

    

  • My dad had clapton. I had the mayer

  • this vid is a great reference for how many people are to drunken to klick the like-button. 18/841 seems to be the correct value.

  • Can you get this on CD?

  • @Tobious3000

    IMO there's an even better version of this song available on the DVD Live in Hyde Park (1997). Please find the link under my user name and click on it.

  • @majvdl Im sorry. But the best version of this song is on Live At The Regal by B.B. King.

  • @genecorrado . . .along with the great jazz singer Joe Williams doing the honors (like this version a lot, though).

  • @majvdl Yes the Hyde Park '97 edits are amazing. I've found i liked many tracks performed live even better then the studio ones, putting his soul into his vocals as he does. True Legend.

  • clapton is god

  • my jaw hurts from smiling too much!!! FUCKING AWESOME SONG!!!!

  • Yea! So how do we find out more about this unreleased movie?

  • i wanna play a concert in trackie dacks

  • both Freddie and BB in his fingers

  • @KDP1989 and Buddy

  • @rsl84416 Sure! This Englishman has learnt the lesson from those legends

  • @KDP1989 Dont forget about Albert too

  • GREAT

    I appreciate a lot

    Really good !

    Thank you very much to send to me this wonderful video

    B R A V O et M E R C I

  • Clapton Rules.

  • Great sound. And I have actually heard/seen people denigrate E.C.s playing.

    Were you listening?

  • fucking awesome

  • genius

  • He's playing my guitar :)

  • such perfect basic blues , but done just perfectly , tight as a drum , impecable !!, you can take all that shredding stuff ,and put it in the back seat , because it definately cant touch this , for feeling and soul, and groove , just great

  • does anybody know the name of the amazing piano player dude? =)

  • Rock, rap, and R&B all originated from the blues so if you like any of these styles you can thank the blues artists from past generations. A lot of people don't know that not only Clapton had his roots in blues but Hendrix, Jimi Page and several of the other "guitar gods" as well. Hendrix was probably one of the best blues guitarists of his generation but people remember him more for his rock music. "Red House" may be one of the best blues songs I've ever heard.

  • Me likey

  • J'adore ce morceau!

    Ca swingue énorme!

    L'ensemble du groupe fonctionne très bien et Clapton égal à lui même!

    Merci pour la vidéo.

  • me leva as lágrimas..........ouvir e ver GOD .......

    que maravilha o som que Ele tira da guitarra e o transforma em sentimento caindo em cascata de notas.......Clapton is GOD

  • I love this song! It's amazing! :)

    What's the pianist's name?
