Eric Clapton Early in the Morning Live TV Recording

[Izzyozzy2000]

Man... he starts FRYIN that guitar approaching 4 minutes

[cgabler91191]

A powerful, soulful, other-worldly performance!! No one does this style of blues better!! Can lower the dynamics to a quiet whisper - captivate you, then dial up the gain and burn you where you stand!!

Thank you again, for this post!!

[sprague49]

He had something to prove that night! Testify, Eric!

[Guitarman5150]

I was just listening to the studio version in my car last night I can't decice witch one I like better. This one or that one!

[pauleka1]

@Guitarman5150 Hey, blues mate, try the version on the JUST ONE NIGHT cd, and you'll surely have no more doubt about! Best, Pauleka

[close2zen]

@snakkajak if you check e bay, you may be able to find the dvd. i bought it a few years ago and it had some stuff that wasn't on the televised version. the dvd is called "nothing but the blues"

[ledzep5]

[kinggreenbaum1966]

Do you also have Derek and Dominoes "Live at the Fillmore", if not, then buy it, it will blow away.

[micire]

no i do not have that. i will presume that u mean the filmore west. at any rate i will endeavor to find that cd. i have a lot of eric. thanks so much for the message and ec video. dave

[kinggreenbaum1966]

No, the albums name is " Live at the Fillmore" you can find it on Amazon. Also the Cream bootleg " Live at the grande Ballroom" is spitzenklasse.

The blues is friggin awesome. His soul is so damn awesome too...

[jennadyann]

talk about soul...wow...love those magic fingers!!

[lamiamano]

delicate solo done with a feelin' : Eric is gifted and knows what he's talkin' about.

Well done, chapeaux, Maestro.

[skydogjp123]

does eric EVER look down at his guitar to see what notes hes playing??? freaking alien lol

[bakedsushi]

@skydogjp123 I would venture to say that theres no reason to look. Just as ray charles never looked at his notes....lol Ya feel it and basically the pentotonic (spell check) is not that hard to master. Then again neither is brushing your teeth. lol just kidding....its all good

[7ohm7]

@skydogjp123 yeah once or twice :) awesome

[Fruscianteistheman]

@skydogjp123

if you need to look at your guitar while you play you must be extremely new, any chip off the old block can close his eyes and play music after a couple years. whats alien about ec is his melodic phrasing.

[twst1]

@Fruscianteistheman i dunno man....i just bought a new guitar with a different scale length then I'm used to, def need to look down or I'll lose my place....been playing since '79, so yeah, kinda new at it

[janeusa22]

@skydogjp123 He has that guitar mastered like the back of his hand......

[TheInboil]

@skydogjp123 ask Jeff Healey

[AFleetingDream]

thanks 4 posting, Eric is just amazing!!!

[autoeer1]

Accolades!!

[knytrydr73]

Why for does it say in the description "unreleased documentary?" I watched this on PBS several years ago. I even recorded it.

[rmbb10]

Just awesome.

[hotflash2580]

Has anyone heard Boz Scaggs version of this??? Both of these are awesome... Where can I find this???

Thanks

[vekswon0100]

she was doin the boogie woogie in the middle of the floor

[zep123dmc]

its kinda funny how he took out the lyrics of "when the girl reach the age of 18, she begin to think she's grown, and that's the kind of little girl you can never find at home" whereas he would have sang that verse in the 70s. im thinkin he's gotten a little too old here to be singing about 18 yr olds lol

[bluemaxblue]

what a sound OMG !!!!

clapton forever

[reiny65]

Lo adorooooo! Es, indicutiblemente, el dios de la guitarra.

[mkeywork]

look at the solo the EC! Amazing

[mkeywork]

1:56 to Thur The End Is The Best Ever

[TREYOLDHIPPIE]

I am pretty sure these sets were released just after the taping. Through PBS, but sold in 'Best Buy.' It has been broadcasted at least once, on PBS. EC also did a tour of this name in 94 I think. Very well booted. EC just does not realize the huge market for his fine fine blues. Hence the boots -"Mr C." --and not the Crossroads char-i-ty.. /or fed to hungry blues lovers all over the world.

[elbass26]

Sorry for my english everybody but.........Does anybody can tell me where i can found the CD of this show of Éric Clapton ?? Thanks you very much

[kinggreenbaum1966]

It has never been released, it´s a Scorsese movie called "Nothing but the blues", but you can find a bootleg copi on Pirate Bay. I have nearly everything recorded with Clapton, and this recording is out of this world.

[huruhara123]

Thanks, I've been looking for this all night long, but still can't find it. Thanks for the info mate!!!

[zep123dmc]

yea i managed to find this by downloading it from rapidshare... the greatest use of rapidshare i've managed to pull off! Clapton rules

[mridrid]

too much - how did he live beyond 27?  he's too good to be alive! too good...

[augfive]

I love when people over emphasize a 'blues solo...lol--its ....a BLUES solo...

[LesIsmour]

Thank you to whoever posted this! Looks like it's from the Martin Scorsese Blues documentary. I love Clapton's phrasing and intensity, and the dynamics in this selection are incredible. Live long, Eric!

[9jem]

i love this clip it shows erics way of playing the blues

[toonzboss]

This is not close to the version on "Just One Night"! That on was balls to the wall smack yo mama blues. this is not "Early in the Morning".

[9jem]

beter than the recording of him doing it

[MARCOSmza1990]

grossssssoooooooo!!!!!

[standardride]

what kind of pickups ar those where you can't see the magnents, or are they just like covers

[runway0927]

those pickups on the clapton strat is Fender Lace Sensor Gold, from 2001 he changed to fender vintage noisless pickups, with visible magnets, both types are designed to reduse hum and noise.

[leadguitarmtl]

They're called Fender Lace Sensors

[moparedtn]

Wicked echo in here....

[forhissake]

I have never seen him play the blues with more passion and joy. His interpretation of this song is a privilege for us to witness.

[bluesishere]
