There once was a time when many considered Clapton & Hendrix the two best rock guitarists in the world. Compared to those days, this is totally lame. It doesn't even come close...
@scottybroker I forgot to mention J.J. Cale, but he could have been there as well. Tulsa was quite the scene around that time. Clapton lived there awhile.
@ELVISHAGA I agree- I hate how he always rails against this period as if it holds nothing of merit. His live shows were fantastic, no doubt due to his awesome band!
it's Chris Stainton on piano,British cat from the Mad Dogs and Englishmen tour with Joe Cocker and Clapton.He's not Leon Russel,but obviously was a fan .
I did time with the keyboardist, Dickie Sims from Tulsa, OK and that is one kool kat. An extremely talented guitarist & keyboard man, drummer & vocalist..... light years beyond most talented folks youd ever meet in this lifetime. Hell he only played w Clapton for 10 years
Danny Flowers is from little Henderson, NC. Met his dad in 1984 at his funeral home, sadly, to bury my wife's 18 yr old brother who had been killed in a car wreck Dec 28, 1984. Mr. Flowers mentioned (I can't remember why) that his son had written Tulsa Time. I leaned over to my friend and said "Clapton covered that song". Mr. Flowers heard me and said "Yeah, Eric was over at the house not too long ago." What a shock ! At a funeral home in a hick town in North Carolina.
The best rendition of the Danny Flowers song is by Don Williams. Eric Clapton has to S L O W his rendition down. Tulsa Time is S L O W, we are NOT in a hurry down here!!! My opinion...
it's so fine and easy just like when you take a shower, so f........ng good, like this song too much. does anybody have any clues on wich open tune is eric guitar? just watching it seems to be an open G tuning, thanks for replies if any, Claudio, and thank you for post this one!
WARNING! THIS IS NOT ERIC CLAPTON !!!! After the split of Cream and Blind Faith , Eric lost his creativity and took too much drugs. He disappeared behind closed doors of hospitals eventually and the record company desperately was looking for a double. They discovered the singing cowboy named Ceri Notplac, who acted in the B-Movie " Fuzzy the SLOW HAND gunman of Coffeyville". Ceri worked it well out and the public did not realise the fake, but to be honest:: That's not funny........
It all goes back to the slaves...sorry for all y'all. Country, blues, rock, r&b, etc... ALL OF IT! Goes back to Africa. And Yeah I'm white. Music wise, we owe it all to them. Sorry to bust anybody's "bubble" . Oh yeah...play nice.
@mdsanford74 Not quite. The Piano, Guitars, Horns etc are all of European origin. The musical notes written on paper are also a European design. The time signature too. In addition, the technology used to record and disseminate this music is European based. If you look at music in this way you might see a collaborative effort and that the music you mentioned did not come from just one source. BTW, you might want to check out the Irish influences on bluegrass and subsequent genres of music.
According to his biography, Eric Clapton told us he left the Yardbirds, bcause they played to much commercial songs. In my poinion : The most worse record of the Yardbirds is thousand times better, than this Country & Western SHIT !!!!!! What a shame.
Trust me. There ain't no place like Tulsa. Once you get out here there ain't no comin back. Was born and raised and will live here till the day I die.

I'm not judging the quality of Clapton's performance solely on whether or not he played Tulsa Time when he came here. Its more of the fact that he barely talked to us or acknowledged us as an audience and just played through his hits and then walked off the stage. ONE song for his freakin encore, ONE song? He should grab a clue from Roger Daltry who opened for him. THAT is how you entertain a crowd when you come to town!
I saw him here in Nashville a few weeks ago and the 'one song encore' thing really pissed me off. Everyone was screaming, cheering, and going to town but the lights came on and I've never heard the likes of booing. Vince Gill played with him on a couple of cuts from Unplugged and Eric didn't solo or anything when Vince was on. Vince is okay but I'm not really a fan. I really feel Eric kinda copped out. We'll always have Derek and the Dominos:Live at Fillmore East. That's the best live Eric imo.
Stevegaines, yeah, the drummer, 'Jamie Oldaker', I believe was from Tulsa. If I'm not mistaken... his brother was a classmate of mine at Patrick Henry Elementary back in the day.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
ANOTHER....ripoff from clapton...isnt he just like kid rock these days.....i cant even remember when this guy was an TRUE artist...yea i know what your gonna say but COMON MAN
@templeofcoy Carl Radle the bass player who was in Derek and The Dominoes and who toured with Clapton was from Tulsa as were a couple of the other guys...
I am not usually a fan of live recordings but for some reason I like Eric Clapton's live recordings better than his studio stuff. I love Just One Night, thats gotta be my all time favorite Clapton album.
Totally agree with Brad. Im not fan of live recordings....but my favorite Clapton disc is JUST ONE NIGHT. Live from Japan. Great disc..with this song as opener.
Shakey, wow I didn't know that was recorded in Japan. Very few music groups can do as good if not better with a live recording. But I think Clapton is one of those guys. Actually, now that I think about it, it seems like most of the ones that come to mind with me that are better on a live album vs. studio album are the guitar greats. Clapton, Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn, The Almonds and George Thorogood all seemed to be as good if not better in live recordings, to name a few.
Jamie Oldaker, drums, Dick Simms, keyboards Jim Keltner, guitar, and Carl Radle, bass, a bit later Marcy Levy on vocals, and Sergio Pastora Rodriguez, percussionist. and other Tulsa musicians including JJ Cale, Beau Velvet aka Hank Wilson aka ?, Tommy Triplehorn. Jimmy Markham.
Carl Radle, a great bass player was from Claremore, until his untimely death in the late 70's, his widow eventually married Ringo Starr. RIP Carl...
I'm from Tulsa and I am wondering if anyone can identify the other Tulsa band members. Leon Russell and JJ Cale are not there so who are they?GREAT SONG!
I researched a bit... actually I've never seen EC with a large-headstock Strat before... it looks like being a 1971 one... but don't know more about it...
Yeah your right. In all the concerts I've seen of him I've never seen him play that one, even when he played with the domino's the sunburst was not large headstock. Most his early strats he used during the 70's were from the mid to late 50's and Blackie I believe was make from parts of other guitars.
it's a 70's start with bold lettering fender started using the large head stock in 1965 an
I looked into it some more and found out that he used this guitar as you see to play slide in live concerts when he recored he used a resonator guitar or his es 335 to play slide
guess this was in 1978 or 1979... so he was something around 33 or 34 of age... great clip of one of my alltime favourites of EC - my hero... though his tongue is a little "heavy" when he's talking which was obviously pretty standard those days... but when he plays and sings... top notch... amazing... :-)
Actually Don Williams introduced this song to EC. Don was touring Oklahoma and they got snowed in in Tulsa. While they were there, Danny Flowers, DW's lead guitar player wrote this song. Then EC called DW if he could open a show for him in Nashville, and Don played Tulsa Time for Eric. Eric found this a great song. Then it became sort of a race who of the 2 would release it first. It became a #1 hit for Don, I haven't figured out for Eric. Also #1?. Eric's version is good, but I prefer Don's.
He has to understand that he is a living legend, yet I've never heard him say anything about his abilitys(good or bad) and I've never heard him say anything negative about a fellow musician... Now that's Class!
Nowadays Eric is a great guy. I'm reading his autobiography and you wouldn't think this nice old man, rock and roll legend would have done some things that he's done. Earlier in his life he would have been a real bastard but now that he's clean, what a man!
There once was a time when many considered Clapton & Hendrix the two best rock guitarists in the world. Compared to those days, this is totally lame. It doesn't even come close...

guess this was in 1978 or 1979... so he was something around 33 or 34 of age... great clip of one of my alltime favourites of EC - my hero... though his tongue is a little "heavy" when he's talking which was obviously pretty standard those days... but when he plays and sings... top notch... amazing... :-)

Actually Don Williams introduced this song to EC. Don was touring Oklahoma and they got snowed in in Tulsa. While they were there, Danny Flowers, DW's lead guitar player wrote this song. Then EC called DW if he could open a show for him in Nashville, and Don played Tulsa Time for Eric. Eric found this a great song. Then it became sort of a race who of the 2 would release it first. It became a #1 hit for Don, I haven't figured out for Eric. Also #1?. Eric's version is good, but I prefer Don's.

Clapton is a class act!
He has to understand that he is a living legend, yet I've never heard him say anything about his abilitys(good or bad) and I've never heard him say anything negative about a fellow musician... Now that's Class!

Nowadays Eric is a great guy. I'm reading his autobiography and you wouldn't think this nice old man, rock and roll legend would have done some things that he's done. Earlier in his life he would have been a real bastard but now that he's clean, what a man!

That's the great thing about redemption!
The people we are today (with work) will be only a shadow of the people we will become in forty or so years!

yea he was a bit of a lad but a the catalyst was his mothers rejection I grew up with his music so he is not that old to me

I read his autobiography last summer. I thought it was really honest and sincere. A good read.
