The thing that makes this performance kick ass is the absolute WICKED beat layed down by Collins.

[superwowie111]

Those must be some hot ass lights, clapton and phil look like some one poured a bucket on them.

[lukewarmfrom1987]

eric clapton looks like chuck norris cos he loves him

[axemurder102]

any 1 else notice clapton just sounds dry and boring on a recording but live he sounds lake a god

[Kuli24000]

@axemurder102 

[315826]

eric is ridiculuse almost all his concerts sound like it could be music video quality

[witness623]

decent try, but out of respect LOL, never perform this song, or any Bob Marley song again. Absolutely NO soul or passion

[igessthsisgrwnup]

@witness623

i dont no what the fuck ur talking about

but this is the best ive seen clapton sing.

clapton is god!

pussy /\

[igessthsisgrwnup]

@witness623

are you fucking kidding me witness?

the first lick of claptons solo was complete passion

why dont you try listening to the whole song before you talk shit

[witness623]

@igessthsisgrwnup please, elevate your mind. I did not feel the song, AT ALL. Period. Have a nice life.

[Mreyes90]

@witness623 how are you gonna try and tell him to elevate his mind..your as closed mind and ignorant as the rest of the internet world..

its just his rendition of one of the greatest song writers of all time..he may not be as soulful as bob marley but his guitar solos are a combo of technique and feeling. im honored to have heard this, im sure bob would be proud too

[witness623]

@Mreyes90 so I am ignorant because I did not feel his cover? You are, is actually you're not your. But thanks for YOUR generalized opinion based on my preferences. Proceed with YOUR life.

[Zumilas]

@witness623  stop stirring shit up, no one wants to listen to your opinion. and no one agrees with it, you said what you wanted, you seen people disagree with it. now stop talking.

[witness623]

@Zumilas If I didn't get emails with irrelevant usernames responding DIRECTLY TO ME, I wouldn't feel the need to respond. Everyone is entitled to an opinion and if everyone had the same opinion, well...that's speaks for itself. Again, proceed with your life and/or do not respond to me. It's that simple.

[snipski0894]

@witness623 Clapton is very reserved, so because he isnt screaming and jumping around in the air does not mean he has no soul or passion.

[yesbabunni]

One great thing about Eric is .......he gives credit to the great BOB MARLEY at the beginning of the song! He is one of those who keeps his music to the basics!

Let Eric keep Bob Marleys spirit alive.!

[ladradistelle]

ADOVOOOOOO!!!!!

[chrisPave]

"Nice and slow see thats the way you do it. Nice and slow." Fred Flintstone as the hold up man

[bobbyBollyfan]

Clapton is a superlative musician; I have never enjoyed his voice, specifically I have always felt that his voice merely compliments all other facets of his considerable genius. This performance is flawless by all and sundry; Marley undoubtedly watched from above with considerable delight. Special plaudits must surely go to Phil Collins, who I feel did as fine a job as Clapton. Thank you kindly :-)

[kerecman9]

awesome.................

[n4179]

Bob Marley forevaaa!!

Eric Clapton rocks, and so does Phil and others

[kingarth143]

Because Clapton is god.

[MrJune610]

Nice guitar weeping Mr. Eric Clapton. I wish I could watch Guitar Boogie jamming played by the three great guitarist, Clapton, Beck, and Page, jammed together?

[dragonbushido2112]

Oh my God!!! I was there, somewhere in the crowd, toward the cente4r of the stage about 7 or 8 rows back! I lived in Lausanne Switzerland at the time, and spent a few days in Montreaux at the Jazz Festival. When Robert Cray came out for the encore, the crowd went nuts! It was one of the best concerts I ever saw. Phil Collins came out from behind the drum kit to sing "In the Air Tonight", too! Thank you for posting this video. It brings back great memories!!

[petgai]

one the best version....

[huibui82]

eric clapton - nathan east = eric clapton / 2

[cicastle]

Happy 65th Birthday Eric!! WE LOVE YOU!

[VaniaCasacaRoja2009]

[azur980]

i like phil on this one it sounds awesome with him there

[harley5404]

This a frikkin rockin band! definetly Talent abounds!!

[SuperSeb81]

lol, I reckon it was Phil himself in the gorilla suit judging by the way he started that intro! (to everyone who doesn't have Cadbury's chocolates in their country, i was talking about an ad.)

[TheMrRevell]

Phil Collins = awesome here. Clapton's voice sounds really good as well. Just overall great live song.

[Steven5quier]

[RyanLies]

XD true

[internalpeaceseeker]

@Steven5quier

[ZachValkyrie]

@Steven5quier When Chuck Norris grows up, He wants to be Eric Clapton

[WSU85DET]

@ZachValkyrie

But.....but wait !

Wouldn't that be leavin' Walker {Texas Ranger} in a state of Blind Faith holdin' the Cream ?!?!?

[Lutherro]

@Steven5quier xD like a chuck norris you say xD yeah, he's a bad ass ! xD

[shiftymeister]

@Steven5quier

Yes, Chuck had gave him the permission.

[AJB42589]

@Steven5quier He is Chuch Norris in disguise

[LoveMoodyBlues88]

Maybe I've been watching too many "Bones" DVDs over Christmas break, but Eric Clapton looks a lot like Hodgins from that show. :-D

[foreverthewho]

nathan east is good!

[Marht]

I like his bassist XD And Clapton rocks

[franrayamusic]

I'm Fran Raya a female singer/songwriter from the UK. I supported Eric Clapton on one of his Scandinavian tours with a set of my own songs. His band were Gary Brooker, Albert Lee, Chris Stainton, Dave Markee and Henry Spinetti. It was the highlight of my career and this song brings it all back. So proud to have toured with him.

[ducknose501]

FANTASTIC MUSICIANSSSSSSS

Phi, we love you

[jadeeyes2728]

I love the 70s the blues and  ERIC CLAPTON AND BOB MARLEY

[ebebimik]

this is 86´... :)

[drporkchop234]

i agree but then again i love bob marley

[wolhesieben]

Very good, thanks

[ceazea]

At 2:34 how do they come in so tight after that fill? Sweet!

[lordkuchen]

wan't that hard i think?

[Pennywysetheclown]

yeah the should've had collins he has that 80's sound the drums should be more laid back for a song like this

[ceazea]

80's drum sound? This was the 80's? I could not disagree with you more about the criticism of his playing and his sound. This is so excellent because of the spark that Phil is giving the band by playing much more loose then he normally does. He is playing more off the cuff and taking some more chances bringing the level of musicianship up a notch. The best version of this song I have heard. Not every version of this song has to sound like the band is smoking pot.

[PalmBeachCowboyz]

I think Phil Collins is one of the most underrated drummers in the industry

[Teelux]

I disagree. He's a talented drummer, no doubt, but he always sounds so "80's.." Not just in this video (obviously from the 80s), but in general.

[tin2019]

You're right, I mean why couldn't he sound more like... See I don't know what to put there, you have an idea? Sorry I don't mean to be rude, I just don't see the point in debating a drummers stile. Works for some, it doesn't for others. One thing's for sure, he is a legend and a legend he will remain.

[madbonjovifan]

I agree I think he's a great drummer. Who cares about this 80s sound. Have you seen his drumming during In The Air Tonight from this concert. He's goes nuts its awesome

[ezri99]

John Brown shot the deputy to frame the singer...sounds right

[ezri99]

So...who did shoot the deputy???

[davi1600]

jj cale or bob dilan i say lol

[Pennywysetheclown]

dylan genius

[Sc105299]

Eric + Phil = Whoa

[DudeLove1996]

I could see phil as a raggae drummer

[DudeLove1996]

The funky Keyboard and Bass is awesome

[rage1110]

yeah thats what i don't like about it

[DudeLove1996]

See that check shirt phil's wearing well that's the same shirt he wore at

Wembley Stadium in London, England at Live Aid

[zappator]

the keyboards sound crap here...

80's.... :(

[MikeVanderwerf]

agree cheesy

[MikeVanderwerf]

agree cheesy

[fleetwood54]

I would shot BIG SAM THANK GOD is has gone home and stay there, ERIC love the song all your songs are brilliant

[englishdomino]

This Fender only has 21 frets. Why is that? his sig has 22. Is that a "before production" one?

[runway0927]

yes, there where some prototypes with 21, and the color of the first guitar was Charcoal gray, after came seven-up green and ferrari red, the black color came in 1991, kept the Fender lace sensor pickups until 2001, then changed to vintage noiseless pickups. a great guitar

[mataenvidiosos]

very hairy man disco.whith so much beard i ve tought it was a singer withe bush.

saludos desde argentina(white or black or green??

[tin2019]

Wow, I admire you man. I mean it must take some guts to call two of the most prestigious authorities in the music scenes "hairy". Although I am surprised that you didn't call Phil Baldy.

[fredo2747]

When Phil and Eric Played together they always played awsome and that is a fact or there wouldn't be clapton in the 1980s

[DarkSilverHair]

wish i could see EC playing a Les Paul Gibson.

[ceazea]

I second that!

[EdmondPlic]

Very "White man Disco"... With lousy funky bass and overplayed drums... I first thought this was the bee gees...

[rootsnattyroots]

even bob Marley liked this version bob said sometime someone can redo a song and sometime make it a little bit better so thumbs up from me this guy helped bob ,,roots

[Lattanz0]

I believe that this solo is most appropriate for "...Sheriff". It expresses the characters sense of urgency pristinely. Especially the repetitive chords at the end. They resemble a siren or alarms going off, if you would. This sheriff is probably a crooked bastard who shot the deputy himself. He owns the town so he's going to blame it on John Doe, the teller of the story. Hence, John Doe's sence of urgency.

[phenixreturns]

AMazing Phil : the best with his drums parts, drums fills, breaks and interpretations with drums

[ceazea]

Clapton's solo was great. Phil was trying to bring a little more to to the table with some more playing of the cuff then by rehearsal (very unusual for him) sometimes it worked sometimes it didn't but he is taking more chances breaking out of the pocket more. Very interesting footage.

[thisismyhappyface]

great video,can anyone tell me if there is a way to remove videos from my faveorites?

[fenderenmtl]

Great video. Nathan East's playing so good!

[rage1110]

nah bob Marley version i like better in my opinion

[DudeLove1996]

Bob's version I'll admit is a fine example of how good raggae is but this version is a faster rock version

[itseasymmkay27]

one thing i love about clapton is that you will probably not ever here one of his solos (maybe except for his acoustic ones) exactly the same. they are very impromptu

[laloblues1511]

Great Version But honestly i rather Hyde Park version solo in the first Time, and Second Crossroad Version.

[Stratosteven]

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet

[jamiro5]

i love this version!!! clapton's solo is amazing...

thank you for share this video..

[StPeteG8r]

Great version..thanks for posting it.
