[The84Yokel]

Well, it`s gettin near dawn...

[MrRossjayne]

Brio xxxxxxxx

[BATENKILL]

oooooops

[mb3467mb]

Cocaine

[tarstarkas1]

Phil Collins is so good, but he so often fails to get the essence of a song. Ginger Baker put a strong and distinctive mark on this song, turning it from what we hear here into a very interesting bit of syncopation. Collins doesn't get syncopation, unfortunately, and so he doesn't get half of Cream. But, Eric forgot how to play, too, so it's all cool.

[bilal1001]

MASTER OF DISASTER

[bilal1001]

TOOOOOOOOOO  FUNKYYYYYYY

[Turboum]

the drummer is phil collins :)

[dougefresh091]

80s tastic keyboard effects.

[TheMrgabriel12345]

really good song, thumbs up if you are here by Guitar Hero III

[theYAMZY1]

@TheMrgabriel12345 guitar hero inspired me to play guitar 3 years ago so you could say that haha

[frotenberguen]

i dont like how the 80´s influenced in the music.

[kemotox]

@frotenberguen yeah, the original cream is better, but these versions are nice too! especially the white room. i love the white room '80 version :D

[4fire1]

This is what I call Music!

[heart2sing2u]

how is it that no matter what, even two seconds into a song that it is possible that I know i am listening to clapton?

[mrJimCharles]

@heart2sing2u Interesting how those old players had such identifiable sounds, Clapton, Beck, Hendrix, Knopfler, Jimmy Page, B.B., Albert King you could recognize them right away, that's a lot of what makes them so cool!

[chooseyourblues]

I Love Clapton and he is why I play the guitar, but until Journeyman in '89 the 80's were a dark time (musically) for the man. I suppose hanging around with Phil Collins and having him produce and play on your albums does't help either.

[mrJimCharles]

@chooseyourblues I think in the '80's Eric was playing and singing a lot better than he is now, but yeah the synth-heavy production did suck.

[chooseyourblues]

@mrJimCharles

Could not disagree more. Clapton saved himself with 'Journeyman' then went on to reaffirm himself as a guitar player with 'From The Cradle' and the Martin Scorsese film 'Nothing But The Blues' and as a singer with 'Unplugged'. You are obviously not familiar with either to suggest he was playing better in the 80's.

[mrJimCharles]

@chooseyourblues I said he was sounding better then than he is NOW. He did sound pretty good on From the Cradle, but that was almost 20 years ago, that was the last record of his that was really worth buying, I'm a musician and it's pretty common that someone will say to me, did you see Clapton on TV the other day, he sounded like a shadow of his former self. You obviously haven't listened to the Bluesbreaker record lately, he's playing nowhere near as scorchingly now.

[chooseyourblues]

@mrJimCharles

I listen to the Beano album all the time. I teach tracks off it to student guitarists so I know it back to front. I also saw Clapton in May for the 4th time and he played the best I've ever seen him, and for the first time in a long time he was the only guitarist in the band. I think it is not productive to compare a player who is now 66 to how he played at 19 or 20 that was 45 years ago.

[bluesygo]

not Cream, not Clapton-Cream...another band, another time, another feel...they went back and not forward as naturally it will be... at the least trash that stupid Fender pre amp built in plastic tone

[LoveVanillaRose]

AND THE TRUTH SHALL SET US FREE

[susieQ128]

I love Phil on drums... heard he may not be able to play them anymore, unfortunate.

[3star2nr]

@susieQ128 he never coud lol

[johnIemon]

I dig Clapton and the song and especially Cream, but that gosh darn keyboard sounds wretched... I hate Keyboards in rock songs, they just don't go together in my opinion.

[thearachnid09]

@johnIemon they do..........just not here......definatly not here.

[degree7]

Ugh..... the 80s.

[TaroGabunia]

bad solo

[boanerges144]

Hey! that was Phil Collins on drums...cool

[letmechanistsrule]

clapton is god

[letmechanistsrule]

clapton is god

[metfilmguy2009]

I think the keyboard is a little too loud on this.

[Chris92356]

some wicked bends in his solos and his fills :)

[rafagrune0]

"sorry"

[TheSonOfBodom]

Where can you buy Exactly that strat he played there?

[LukeiAmYourFather12]

i totally love the cigarette on the head of the guitar oohhhh ssoooo damn coooll

I tried that but it doesnt make me play like him. shit im running out of things to copy. CLAPTON IS GOD

[LukeiAmYourFather12]

I totally the lit cigarette on the head of the guitar :)) oooohhhh sooo coooolll!!!

[immatypewholike2lite]

I'm sorry Eric, but this sounds trillion times better with Ginger and Jack, you fcked up.

[Sunderlanding]

Wow this song sounds terrible on that guitar. Clapton when you're playing songs like this you need to go back to humbuckers! What an ass.

[C2Dlive]

this must be the most awesome concert of all time :D

[ytjih1952]

Check the same song with Jimmy Hendrix and see Mitch Mitchel in action!

[ytjih1952]

The drummer is Phill Collins, and he does an excellent job, remember Led Zeppelin

took him on tour when John Bonham was unable to go

[spherical6]

Gotta agree on the drummer -- only Buddy Rich could have covered it--- and that's saying a lot!!

[Sunderlanding]

@spherical6 Buddy Rich couldn't have covered it. Totally the wrong style.

[Aeschylus]

Pretty rockin' version, but I confess I prefer Jack Bruce's vocals.

[013jared]

holy shit hes amazing live

[gangsta19x]

am 50 tyson

[Elgigante21]

YOUTUBE SEARCH JIMI HENDRIX KILLED CLAPTON!!

[KrzysztofEs1234]

Bardzo lubię ten utwór !!! - Moje , ale tylko subiektywne odczucia , jest on lepszy , niż w wykonaniu Jimi Hendrix,a . Posiada o wiele , więcej energii, inwencji twórczej!!!! . TO JEST ŚWIETNE !!!!!!!

[maticpovse]

1:12... wow, that's a high note xD

[Carthsting]

He's got most friends in buisness.

I mean everytime i read about any musician, its every time "In 19XX He met/collaborated with guitarist Eric Clapton".

Eric Clapton that, Eric Clapton that.

[glauciomusic]

a galera enlouqueceu ...

[sushi123401]

0:02 Heeeeeey Steve Hurkle :D

[wwolfe33]

yeaaa,get down bass guy

[Sarnowski]

are shitting me, phil collins

[Sarnowski]

are shitting me

[dunwanty]

cool

[sirmontybob]

I don't consider this a cover. It was written by bassist Jack Bruce, lyricist Pete Brown, and Eric Clapton (Cream). Clapton wrote the chorus ("I've been waiting so long…") which also yielded the song's title. Although Inspired by a Hendrix performance, Jimi actually covered this song.

[david8287878787878]

hahahah that bassist is amazing!!!!!!!! such graceful dance moves

[MrMarantzman]

@david8287878787878 Thats Nathan East

[ThatMindfields]

@david8287878787878 I think that's Nathan East :)

[robert19962010]

@david8287878787878 nathan east has a wonderfull yamaha bass too ! :)

[toosboos]

@robert19962010 ,i was lucky enough to meet Nathan this summer when he toured with Toto ... what can i say ? Great bassplayer and even greater person !

[mltar2]

@david8287878787878...he's far out! Love it, he's so totally into it...

[badattitude77769]

Love conquers alll!!!!!!!

[STORYTASTIC]

awful..who is this ass? destroyin a classic..no tone so crappy

[mfmazurek]

no one can fill ginger baker's sound on this song. not even close.

[Chappomusic]

@mfmazurek

Listen to BBM ( baker bruce moore ) "Sunshine" live in Liverpool 94 uploaded by Trowerblues.

Far better by a distance frome here to the moon.

[TerabyteProductions]

@mfmazurek I don't know. I like this one more. Maybe that's because I love Eric Clapton.

[RustedMuffin]

holy crap first ever fck up i've seen of clapton, oh well made up for it anyway

[draganvuckovic]

Products "destructive" progress of good feelings

[VolgaBargeRecords]

Wow this guy is better than Asher ROth!!!!!!

[carrickabc]

i love this song ! i've got a good cover of it on my channel if some of you youtube experts could check it out ?? or judging by the recent conversation topic is that a bit controversial.

[ccollymore]

This is not better than the original...different and good, but not better

[chopster29]

@ccollymore Eric Clapton wrote "Sunshine of Your Love."

[ccollymore]

@chopster29 ok...

[TheBilic10]

@chopster29 hahhaha are u freakin crazy this is song made and written by James Marshall Hendrix or better Jimi Hendrix and Cream made cover and it's own but much slower version in 60's

[chopster29]

@TheBilic10 No he didn't, Cream wrote it, but they based it on a song jimi hendrix wrote. I just looked it up.

[zanusbluesman]

I love this song! I think that this rithm is amazing!

[bassgroove21]

show us how its done slowhand

[RyderGuy007]

Eric Clapton's bassist has a pretty good voice.

[metart93]

clapton had a bad day here...

[RyderGuy007]

I think this is Olympus... CAUSE I SEE GOD PLAYING THE GUITAR AND SINGING!!!

[19cassidy65]

Strange comments on this one. Yes Eric Clapton was in Cream and thus on the original recording, and since this is not Cream, technically it could be a cover. There is no use in stating that covers aren't as good as the original, that's a fool's opinion. The entire Jazz idiom is built on "covers" in my opinion John Coletrane's version of My Favorite Things is far superior to the "original" sung in the Sound of Music. I can think of dozens of songs in which I prefer the cover version.

[callofpownd]

i think i just had a organsim from this clapton is god!!!!

[ojman222]

@callofpownd hey its called an orgasm.....what the fuck is wrong with u????

[callofpownd]

@ojman222 lol but you get the point 

[penhita90]

@callofpownd me too!!

[callofpownd]

@penhita90 yeah ^.^ rock on clapton :D

[starwarsfreak1111]

@christinalol1 I live in a cave so i doubt he will make it up here.

[callofpownd]

@christinalol1 spam your such a fuck tard get off this video you fuck ok ont do this shit on claptons music asshole

[proudofthebrave]

[silvisary]

GREAT SONG,MYTHICAL!!!!!!!

[sify11]

more than awsome

[nirvanafan0267]

AWESOME AS ALWAYS Clapton Rules .

[Cicciopollazzetta]

I'm not getting what's awful about the solo...

[dubbly1]

The end is epic!!!

[bamboosa]

ha ha - Eric looks back on his brilliant work with Cream and wonders "how the fuck did I pull that shit off - was I high? - oh, yeah..."

[jackpepper2000]

@bamboosa If you are old enough you would remeber WE are were wasted! good time old rock and roll 4 EVER!

[twofingersmakes71]

wow, that solo was awful.

[msctfxcandmessi]

Whats with the bassist at 1:18-1:20 he looks so wierd haha

[CDeanN]

Is this concert available on CD?

[griffinswank]

haha great recovery from that mess up in the solo!

[lazerath123]

phil collins is one of my favorite drummers ever

[BATENKILL]

Man this concert made the women throw their panties and stick to Clapton

[AndrewGee69]

Nothing but respect for Clapton..

[MacaIsDahBomb]

"Clapton and friends" ?????? What the fuck retard?.... Cream is the word you are looking for, twat.

[92ASte]

@MacaIsDahBomb Phil Collins wasn't in Cream you prick

[92ASte]

@MacaIsDahBomb Phil Collins wasn't in Cream. Dickhead.

[rafaelb1026]

0:03 yay Urkel seems to be a fan of Cream !!! =D

[nickthecomedian]

eric clapton is a god of rock.

[Fruscianteistheman]

tone on the bass is sick

[bbrian07]

i know who phil and eric are. but as for greg and nathan which is which

[hipcat01]

@bbrian07 nathan is on bass

[toosboos]

@bbrian07 , Greg is the keyboardplayer and Nate is the bassplayer .....

[LVEMEDO]

FANTASTIC

[juandiegoEl1]

GREAT ROCK & ROLL EXELENT COMBINATION

[ftediously]

It really amazes me how this sounds so remarkably bad compared to Cream with just 3 musicians.

[ROCKGRANNY]

Great musicians!!!!!

[blazinbleezies]

Ginger Baker is way better than Phiadelphia Collins.Even Jimmy Page says Collins can't play worth a shit.

[boonesusan]

Oh no no no I must disagree with you. He is great. I once bought a dvd just because of a drum solo that he and Chester (can't remember his last name @ the moment) did. But each to his own. You have your opinion and I have mine. But that's ok that what makes this country so great we are all different.

[1976Zoso]

look at the big ass marshal stacks in the back

[StragonRage]

i hate that keyboard D:

[philperkins]

2:18 First time ever I heard Eric make a mistake, LOL ;-)

[dhh02192]

@philperkins: Oh no, he's been revealed as mortal!

[Algorhythmiq]

Phillinganes and East - Now that was a tight band for Clapton in the 80's.

[azrael840]

@Algorhythmiq  oo

[benhomdav]

i love the bassist

[fuzzblow]

Well I don't know, but I like the original sound of this song much better. Just rougher, harder and especially better drummer and bass-player on board ;-) Hate this 80s keyboard style....

[Prod1Kh]

@fuzzblow Ginger was an awesome drummer, but to say he's better than Phil...that's some thin ice you're skating on there...

[BoyEkkaphon]

ROCK!

[bluesfashion]

i think this is a great cover, eric clapton is the best and in this cover play much better than when he was young and in cream.

[stratocasterbob]

Eric Clapton Rocks ! *****

[auston5001]

i love the sond of the bass guitar :)

[FatMaro]

East: "Wow man, wtf?"

Clapton: "Sorry, mate, I royally screwed that part up, but i'll make up for it with my beard."

[bluesgunner]

Once you've heard harpsichord on 'Sunshine...' you've heard fucking everything :p

[paulefty]

epic!! great performance!!

[redstone95]

ERIC CLAPTON + JIMI HENDRIX

gods of the guitar

[cattheohterwhitemeat]

What about my main man Berry??

[alcore3]

better when he blues

this is bullshit musac

[rafflesnaffles]

If it wasn't for this music Clapton probably wouldn't be around in the first place, shut the fuck up. If you dont' like it, don't listen to it.

[rafflesnaffles]

What does Hendrix have to do with this?

Hendrix COVERED it, but Cream did it originally, and covers are never better than the original for the simple fact that they're rip-offs.

Just because two artists do the same genre doesn't mean you can compare them. And get spell check or something.

[alcore3]

and covers are never better than the original for the simple fact that they're rip-offs.

?????

is it dogma ?

so untrue: clapton s covers of JJcale s songs are better than original

[number1covers]

AlGore3 is right. Most people say my band's versions of classic hits are better than the originals so its not unusual.
