[killyou45]

[emmebyrock]

Grande Eric!! Genoa waiting a new concert...

[Ghostrider634]

Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, Elton John! Does it get any better?

[magdasia14]

Eric Clapton could even smoke cigarette with guitar! He's my god!

[duckdude8250]

Holy... Epic solo...



[ErichoEricho]

It's Hans Gruber, the character Alan Rickman (Snape in Harry Potter) played in Die Hard 1. :))

LOLJK. Clapton FTW, Forever. :D

[OlaOOp]

Just 2:12

[mechanicjoe]

This song reminds me of brother in war who sacrificed himself for us. His last words were 'I know what i am doing is sacrifing myself , but atleast im doing it for the U.S.A. ' this song really reminds me of him with such power. I love this song

[OlaOOp]

Is There a cigaret on his guitar ?

[amacr549]

@OlaOOp Yeah if u pause it at 4:14 you can see it.

[ngocson85]

Maybe we forget that Elton John was there.

[tomorocko]

Cool. The beginning is the same as the beginning to Romeo and Juliet Live

[crruzzzer1]

Tokyo live is the best!!!!

[bagq06]

I really like the beginning after the basss solo/intro when the song starts by surprise

[HoneyOatt]

Clapton is GOD.

Mind the intro "A Remark You Made" - Weather Report

[DerDeziBelzeBub]

something, wonderful tonight & layla...

pattie boyd must be the luckiest woman on earth!!!

[BillyTheKid995]

Clapton-Knopfler...perfection.­

[Brendelos]

WHO CAN GIVE ME THE CHORDS OF THE PIANO INTRO? THANKS

[vicienz14]

the bassist is playin' the solo of a remark you made!!!

Jaco lives

[castelsantangelo]

mr nathan east!! I love you man!!!!

[smamit2]

man the last part of layla (i mean when the piano starts to play that romantic music) is

simply genious

[eagle0468]

Only 215K views.  That's rediculouos. It should be more like 215 million.

[rajatgilmour]

Is that Mark knofler on the other guitar?

[Hobinator17]

@rajatgilmour it sure is, the one and only :)

[rajatgilmour]

@Hobinator17 wow... I have seen him play with Clapton on a couple of videos.. but I dint know they played together so often..:) Knofler wasn't a part of the Yard Birds, was he?

[Hobinator17]

@rajatgilmour nope, knopfler wasnt a part of the group, he just toured a lot with clapton in the late 80' s when he decided to take a break from Dire Straits for a few years

[78locomocion]

he is Elton watch the : Eric Clapton - Cocaine [Live from Tokyo 1988] video

[mrengftw]

And there is also Elton John, rofl.

[mrengftw]

Thats not Elton on Keyboards, it's Alan Clark.

[Azza593]

@mrengftw 3:03

[Hobinator17]

lol the guy at 6:57 just made my day

[theoGnRfan]

@Hobinator17  hahahahahaha

[pburns1984]

@Hobinator17 Ray Cooper!

[byntje2010]

HAHA 3:07 the tambourine player realises he's on camera and suddenly ups his game!

[sirsire83]

@byntje2010 it looks like he caught the holy ghost...but how coked up does clapton look!

[thepixieful]

@sirsire83 AND YOUTH.......

[macke111]

When you think it cant get any better you see Elton John on the keyboard! What a nice suprice! =)

[coadsterlego]

i was listenin to this in the fuckin womb kids!!!!!!! CLAPTON IS GOD!

[staycivil]

They are JAMMING. Part of me wishes I had been old enough to see this live, or at least in existence when the song first came out!

[strat67sunburst]

Oh　I was there.

[PapaLuvTLC]

ClassicClapton...

[Cushniee]

mark knopfler you absolute sex beast...

[donpedrossy]

In Armani suit.

Makes me sick

[Hobinator17]

the piano intro at 6:22 to 0:55 sounds almost exactly the same as the piano intro to Mark Knopfler's song Romeo and Juliet on the "On the Night" album, anybody else make that connection?

[Hobinator17]

@Hobinator17 i correct that, its from 0:22 - 0:55. my bad

[itssuaz]

48 bars of GREATNESS in that solo!!

[InwestycjaLichen]

Crimen Sollicitationis

[jcwbluedevil]

Man, "Blackie" just wailed with pain under Slowhand's magical fingers.

[Claymation99]

@jcwbluedevil I don't think that's Blackie

[HSLakaAL]

Look at their faces, they're smiling like little babies :D

[ronnied828]

@ emittscool...that guy is ray cooper ......he likes to be a showman at these gigs !

[emittscool]

Damn and that tamborine dude's got some skills!

[emittscool]

[My2sams]

[xylophonejonesx]

4 people accidentally hit the thumbs down button.

[keanehgz]

@tlr12345 you actually bothered to reply just to be technical? Lmao.

[coogski]

2.12 theres not a many better intro than this, name 1

[thethirdrike]

There's no cigarette on that guitar it's just Clapton's playing creating smoke

[eteko5335]

キーボードはエルトン・ジョンなんだ。

どっかで見かけたおじさんだって思ったよ。



[eteko5335]

キーボードはエルトン・ジョンなんだ。

[bluesrock2008]

3 deaf people

[udohiro]

ＫＢエルトン・ジョンなのか？

[udohiro]

おっノップラーいるじゃん

[Neemahbwright]

Eric had a beast manager

[Oasis793]

Hendrix or Clapton??

2 of the best guiterists in history

[sbrencur1]

the look he gives at 7:46, that's emotion!

[stevemayo1986]

I named my daughter after this song back in July 2005.

[BigScotty88]

@carpediemification1 He doesn't need to say it. He just is.

[imgointoprison]

@carpediemification1 No I would!!



[UngKristen]

@carpediemification1 clapton IS god, don't you know?

[tvauders]

Does anyone else think that when he's stood playing out just before his 2nd solo near the end, he looks at Nathan East like he's sad to be signing about Layla, when they've just got divorced. Epic song.

[PwnageGravy]

@tvauders You can tell he's hurting, but he's coping the same way I do, rocking out. Just listen to how intense he is in this performance.

[nunchuckerz]

the onlything that could have made this cooler, is if it was a phat bob marley spliff on his fender

[YoureGuilty]

I'd be speeding the tempo up as I watched my cig just burning out, so that I could take the last few drags before it became an ash rubble. All the kings of music are up there, so are the two queens on vocals. Gail Ann Dorsey should have been up there as well; not to undermine Nathan at all, but she's just a stunning bass player.

[jtk12593]

after the piano bridge to the "second song", clapton looks like hes just listening to the song on the radio or something. its amazing how effortlessly talented he truely is

[paulreeve]

So many accomplished musicians on one stage represent the rock of our age. Couldn't get much better !

[pinoko1311]

Eric Epic

[kream7378]

Let's see if you feel this .. could'nt 't believe the thrill i felth ! Amazing solo and when Eric came up ,the crowd whent mad :)))

[ohutubeprettythings]

Reminds me of Jeff Bridges.

[donotadheretosilence]

He ages very quickly

[gaiolinn]

@donotadheretosilence His emotional breakdown made him age like this.

[donotadheretosilence]

@gaiolinn yeah that's what I thought

[pyerric]

Best solo in any Layla performance so far, imho.

[bhanubabbal1]

clapton is god!!!

[wpnetoo]

@bhanubabbal1 And Hendrix is Devil!

[shaq666uk]

Beautiful solo @ 04:30!

[myanilee]

at 3:21 the song is really smokin'

[keittokirjatepo]

I think this is the best version of layla

[Doubledare51]

this tour mustve been the best thing to ever happen in the history of forever

[winston28168]

nothing can ever beat duane allman's slide guitar solo on the piano coda (on the studio version)

wish they would bring in someone especially to do the slide guitar solo

[Antonovich74]

@winston28168 like maybe derek trucks nowadays?

[hujaqaa]

@Antonovich74 lol..

[GameOwnings]

I like the improvisation after mainsong :D

[rootvalue]

Elton John on keys? Man, I'm clueless! How did I not know Elton John played with Clapton?

[poopyy99]

For some reason i think eric clapton always aspired to be as good as jimi and i think that kept him in the game

[Ronbo710]

Brilliant rendition!! Like the piano exit the BEST on this version!!

[mdfirestorm99]

@kloaneKantn Knopfler doesn't play bass.....I think you mean Nathan East. Bass guiars can have up to 6 strings.

[MathColeto]

eric singing the notes from 07:39 to 07:44

[idogillan]

the intro combaines two songs:

dire straits track and whether report,from heavy whether,

interesting version

[oakcustom82]

STEVE FERRONE IS LIKE METRONOM!!!!

[ColtonSaylor713]

3 dislikes on this song? i didnt know that we had jonas brothers fans watching eric clapton?

[megamapagmahal]

a simple LEGENDS!! NEVER DIE ALWAYS ON OUR HEART

[Witek84]

Eric is an overrated guitarist. I actually think he's pretty shit. John Scofield's better.

[ipotzel]

verdammt.... wie geil ist das denn????????????

[johnnypayne3]

damn this is like an all star concert...

[MrYosarrian]

Both Eric and Mark are true legends

[keanehgz]

Cigarette near the Guitar head is a nice touch =D

[tlr12345]

@keanehgz the guitar head is called a headstock lol

[freedomsoldier187]

@keanehgz he is king, I play like 2 eric clapton songs at my gigs layla and cocaine, and both times I spark a smoke and put it in the headstock, and I don't normally smoke. They say peer pressure is a bitch, I say idol pressure is more so !

[ROCKSTARCRANE]

Eric does not look well here...but somehow manages to sing his ass off. There simply is no better on earth.

[Joe22c]

Can someone tell me the name of the song played at the beginning?

Someone mentioned Dire Straits - Romeo and Juliet, but I looked up the video and it sounds nothing like the intro.

Thanks in advance,

- Joe

[Ben1444]

@Joe22c:

Yes, it is Romeo and Juliet, but it's a live version from the "On The Night" DVD by Dire Straits.

[FrF]

@Joe22c There's also "A Remark You Made" by Weather Report thrown in for good measure!

[Joe22c]

@FrF

Ah yes, I actually discovered that recently. Not sure how I missed it before in the comments section.

And yeah, it was the melody from A Remark you Made that I was really keen on. Thanks for dropping a line!

=)

[eNikoltsios]

Best song ever written.... A true masterpiece!

[JimPalmisano]

This is the best. Every player is having a Great time. I don't know how you do it Eric. From what I understand this is a tribute to your true love. That's got to be hard on you. But in a sense, you seem to be laying your acceptance of it in the ending instumental.

Love it! Hope you are at peace with your ex. I feel sorry for her. But then I don't know the whole story.

[shutterbugblues]

Wonderful! The Layla album changed my life. Jimi and Duane must've been smiling at this anniversary show.

[jombuto]

Did Eric Clapton Smoke? Really? That's your Question? Better Question: How does Eric Clapton make a guitar act as if it's an extension of his own body?

Just for the Record, yes he smoked, no he doesn't smoke any longer, mostly because he has three young children, and is no longer a Heroin user.

[gnjojn]

knopfler and clapton = heaven!!!

[azny21]

Did eric clapton smoke?

[gbc77000]

@azny21 He still chain smokes.

[guilamborghini]

I have a dvd of this tour,its awesome

[Manishboy1981]

@guilamborghini Where did you get the DVD?

[TheNoawave]

ADD "LAYLA IS THE BEST SONG OF ALL TIME" as a FACEBOOK FAN PAGE

[shinnosuke621]

Can you use Firefox?

Do you have a downloadHelper?

it could download this video.

[Zigskel]

[Fleppppp]

[Ninrodsp]

Yes. Is Elton John

[hailander09]

omg solo!!!! :O

[FaggotOfSG]

Kickass solo!

[GCOLE2]

Is that Ray Cooper I see in the background?

[gitarserbia]

NO!

[Jon116teeth]

smoked!

[nAtEbAlEstEr]

ya man, he was pretty screwed up for a little while there

[dollmann996]

Yes.... a lot....

[Claymation99]

Why does Clapton's tone suck on literally every other thing he's done? This is awesome!

[jables000]

cos he doesnt use gibson anymore :P

[TheMusician2010]

I love the personal touch ahah The fag !!!

[blumItamar]

Mark Knopfler kicks the fucking ASS!

[myanilee]

@blumItamar and so does Clapton

[Pierrotechnique]

@blumItamar obviously...

[AlexVitus]

Most emotinal version i've ever of this song!!

[aurelia4ever]

i love this song because he always sings it different...and it is always great!!!!!!!

[freedomsoldier187]

the thing that blows my mind and what I wanna learn from this like mark knopfler, eric and his phrasing are unmatched, they might only move 2 maybe 3 positions in the scale of the key they are working in, but they phrase in such a way you just can't do man !

[pasqualenrico]

Grandi

[goldenchildtyptcb]

my fave. clapton jam

[betyoucantreadthis]

marks guitar is so sweet... i wish he would just, like... kinda give me it oO

[MiuraUU]

@bastardsofdecent92 fuck off keep comments like that to yourself

[bdj420]

i'm with MiuraUU on this one...even if you feel that way keep it to yourself...and by the way some of the best and most influential musicians were black..so i dont give a DAMN what color the ppl are playing ...i care about the MUSIC!!

[bdj420]
