Eric Clapton & Friends - Run

[LachoDroogie]

2 people are fucking retarded!

[biddixjosh25]

wow it's walker singing lol

[2591august]

CLASSIC ROCK!!

[GmanGregilla]

It's sort of like a likeable, upbeat hybrid of pop, funk; a sort of blend of more classic rock intertwined with pop-funk in a smooth fusion; probably, leaning more towards pop.

Also, Nathan East's dancing like Super Mario in this here clip is more than awesome.

[chingchangchongfly]

This was right before he finally got sober in Nov. 1987

[msstevie1951]

@chingchangchongfly JUST AWESOME!!!!!!!! So glad he did~

[guitar66078]

awesome Eric Clapton is god

[PaczkoPL]

I like 2:25

[hellraiser7974]

great!!!

[isabelkira9]

i like nathan easts pants

[wendileona]

Yeah, many feel Clapton's 80's stuff sucked but I actually enjoy every album of the 80's - Money and Cigs thru Journeyman.

A bit commercial here and there sure, WB pushing that sales thing, very big drum machine stuff going on in the mid to late 80's but overall, lots of solid Blues Pop Rock with a dash of Funk in there and it works for me!

[wakichachi69]

Just simply fucking awensome!!!!!

[kmrtv]

this was his best time and the Record " August " one of the best Rock Records from the 80´s

[LachoDroogie]

love that bass line!

[bassgroove21]

one of my favorite line ups of all time.

[tobyjug472002able]

Birmingham 1986 Brilliant concert

[masandstrom]

This song was on the August album and got little or no airplay. By far one of his finest songs.

[bassgroove21]

wish i could have those friends......

[internalpeaceseeker]

@bassgroove21 no i wish i was his friend or his neighbor lol

[rockcandy15]

I have never seen such a crisp, tight group of musicians and I've been to a lot of concerts and I'm watching this on YouTube. I'm hooked!!

[BigRussOvBs9]

[janhammerrules]

Collins was, and still is AWESOME!

[PubliusMcPeters]

@janhammerrules He's so f'ing powerful, that's for certain!!

[TKbrands17]

one of the most things i like about eric clapton are his era's. the young one with JM&BB, cream. and through the drugs onto the era of cocaine (both song AND stuff). going to the era of Run and forever man, which was the end of the young eric clapton in my opinion. than the era of the connorblues.. what eric is now, is nothing more then a completed legend showing what he is still these days. i love him. sorry for my bad english.. i'm dutch

[BigRussOvBs9]

Mr Nathan East sick bass player done alot of work with eric in the 80s and also on the unplugged mtv session sick tune

[Reezer83]

@BigRussOvBs9

you the man ! nathan east rocks ! it's bad that eric replaced him on the tour with winwood, Nathan is so incredible good on bass i think after Bootsie he is number one !

[fishinmagician89]

bass player is aswesome!

[hieratik]

yes holly mother my favourite too but all is great feeling feeling<;;

[fishkeeping123]

he is never happy :(

[HarryBitMy]

Thanks for the post. Luv the bass on here of Nathan East..it was a great gig.

[21sttnmemphis]

One my favorite Eric Clapton's songs. That is an all star lineup performance

[diveplane]

great track ..

[internalpeaceseeker]

i dig these lyrics, i knew a girl who i loved and she made it hard for me to run as said clapton but at the end i ran when i knew her willing to keep the relation good is weak.

[internalpeaceseeker]

no offense, but clapton in the 80s looked like a teacher of mathematics or something like that

you're the man eric

[AKMAC82]

@internalpeaceseeker in a sense...eric is a teacher...

[vodude]

I bought this video back in the 80's on VHS & it is still one of my fav concert videos of all time. I rushed out to buy "August" the day after I saw it. Tremendous album & full of great songs like this one. The record company should've released more of them as singles cuz they were def hit worthy songs.

[TheHawksTalon]

My favorite on the august Album

[internalpeaceseeker]

no, my favorite would be holy mother but anyway, this is a very cool song

[hendrixkixas]

Love this song.

[endymionqueen76]

To Mbeals-"that black guy" ---Is Nathan East---one of the BEST Bass players to ever hit the stage--He & Greg Phillanges (keyboards) played with Clapton alot during the 80's---BTW Phil Collins is no slouch on the drums --IMO they were all simply magnificent--Just watching Clapton on that Strat makes my day---Thanks ouvigna for posting this L.

[jtk12593]

is this disco?????????

[sammusicman11]

no, its pop rock, it sounds slightly disco because it has that typical eighties "synth and tinny drums sound".

[schuindtmetal]

don't forget the bass with slaps and a progressive line... its like disco... but, isn't.

(Ah, amazing bass line :D).

[1313xela]

i love this song reminds me of sitting in the back seet of my dads rover in the summer. love eric

[bluesman841]

80s Clapton rockss!!! Just like 60s 70s 90s and 2000s Clapton!!!!

[iammathers]

80's clapton..

[Rmelcher77]

[AndrewNumberOne]

[Rmelcher77]

[mbeals47]

[riz44]

[PencilSkirt95]

What a great concert this was, would've loved to be there

[khra81]

im a guitarist, and i play along with this song, i wish i was one of his musicians, it's exiting to play with him.

[khra81]

i love clapton's music in the eighties

[lindacolucci62]

always, always been a favorits song of mine

[dbruci]

I saw this line up in Providence August '86. Great show. That's Nathan East on bass.

[emiel4sma]

I envy you man, this is a line-up that's never going to return again....

[RichardLaarge]

@dbruci you saw them in August supporting August? ;)

[khra81]

i dig this song especially that women i know are nasty.

[ocpalmtree]

one of his best albums

[HeadlessKross]

It's Nathan East on the bass. There's no question about that.

[drkhwy]

what did i say about the bag?

[drkhwy]

Feelin' the Philingains bra! Mike Posato is a pretty good bassist as well. Just my two cents..now go eat a bag...

[RADIO1990]

who is mike posato? isnt that nathan east?

[luciferrules]

Fantastic performance!

[Ashgrove17]

I Love it. Just shows his versatility. Still music anyway. Don't be so narrow with your likes and dislikes.

[diniguan33]

The August album Rocks!!! His band was tight, funky, and provided Clapton with a sound that was perfect for the mid 80's.

[lacolumbus]

..the disco dayzzz!!

[Klastek]

Too funky !

[CesMan83]

EC's pure, shameless pop!
