Eric Clapton - My Father's Eyes - 1992 Electric live version

[Warxyph]

Electric clapton

[musicman1804]

@megafuze08- You have no right saying what any one can or can't say. You are being immature from censoring people for expressing their opinion. So they call Eric Clapton a god. BFD. They aren't calling him THE GOD, or saying bow down to Eric Clapton, he is our one and only God... It is not showing ANY disrespect for God because there is a difference between a god and God. God (capital G) refers to the Lord, and god (lower case) refers to any deity.

[megafuze08]

People, it is extremely inappropriate to refer to ANY human being as 'god', let alone Eric Clapton. Please refrain from doing that, even in figurative connotation. That's a huge dishonor to the Lord, and quite frankly, immature. Thank you for your understanding.

@megafuze08 The Lord gods not real get over yourself. Watch Zeitgeist for facts. Clapton is God! :-)

[QueenReigns1]

@megafuze08

Oh for GODS sake!!!

[RobGordon07]

This version is is awesome! Is it available on any of his live albums?

[undertaker0492]

eric clapto rocks

i miss my father's eyes

[undertaker0492]

eric clapton = god

this is one of the best of his songs and it remembers me

my father :'(

ERIC CLAPTON ROCKS

[bernardnjones]

This song is the center of a sad story. Eric Clapton was born a bastard, and throughout most of his life knew nothing of his father. He said once that, after the birth of his son, looking into the child's eyes was the closest he'd ever been to looking into his father's. This song was the story of those feelings and, of course, the heartbreak of the loss of his son.

[SuperJamtown]

@bernardnjones Exactly. Well put!

[themolenga]

i'm really missing my father's eyes.a great fan of eric clapton,babbo,non ti potrò dimenticare mai

[jobluz06]

Wow. I've never heard clapton play like this. The version I usually listen to is from the One More Car, One More Rider album. He has a different cadence here, and his bends don't sound quite as smooth. But I think it's mostly a difference in his tone.

[strawer]

@jobluz06 This because Eric used a Soldano during that period, that's why his sound was a bit different.

The One More Car CD and DVDs feature him using "Crash I" plugged into a blond VibroKing combo.

[romprime20001]

To the jerk who said to yall who lost a father but i still got mine. i lost my father november 27th 1997 and there is not a day i think about him. i miss him. this song reminds me of my father.

[yenalud]

he's extending his condolences, meaning he is sorry, and that he is happy that he still has his own. and you should probably proofread what you post before you post it

[Dragonschild81]

Wow this is a great version of this song! I love it good upload traderfiles.

[jameroquai]

Would love to get a tab of this.

[groovadelicx]

condolence @ 8435650..

and to y'all who lost y'all dad.. im happy coz i still got mine

[Pam4Rob]

wow thats pretty rude don't you think??

[dwinchester555]

Yeah thats pretty messed up...

[kc5tng]

Sounds to me like he is just "happy", meaning "Grateful" not disrespecting any of us who have lost our fathers. He just didnt word it correctly...guess we've all "put our foot in it" from time to time...but to me, his meaning was clear in that he is just fortunate to still have his father and he is happy about that fact.

[SuperJamtown]

@kc5tng His father was dead when he recorded the song. died in 85

[8435650]

rip dad 1938-2009

[szekelymihai]

sorry to hear that. a father is a father whomever you are

[MrFirpo]

sajnálom kolega! :(

 my father... ?-1999

i am 22

[Garbiemutt]

yepp i heard this song prior to me going to see claptons blues concerts roughly in 96-97 so it was definitely prior to that... 92 is certainly feasable

this verison imo has more power than the acoustic version

[littlepersianstar]

I miss looking into my fathers eyes, i miss looking up to see his beautiful green eyes watching me with a little smile upon his face, i miss how those eyes could read me like a book, i miss the strength and the love i found in them. I miss my dad

[ricocchet]

@littlepersianstar Your comment is amazing, i cant believe no one has commented on it before?

They must all have their fathers??? :)

[littlepersianstar]

@ricocchet Thankyou for your lovely response. :)

[pianoman74]

Could it be you got the year wrong a bit? "My Father's Eyes" didn't come untl in 1998 on his "Pilgrim "album, not 1992! Something utterly smells fishy here....

[traderfiles]

Ah Hah! Gotcha! Yes, Clapton didn't release this officially until 1998 on Pilgrim. He had this song when unplugged came out. I liked this version better than the 1998 released version.

[Donelys3]

@traderfiles Me too! Much much much better. Wish they never messed with it.

[DeathWithinTenSteps]

@pianoman74

this was never released. he performed this in 1992 and again in 1996.

[jbawn]

@DeathWithinTenSteps i got the bootleg cd of this concert. Very good concert it is too

[Hotamalle]

My favourite song <3

[LenaSTP]

treasure

[BinaryReaper]

I wish he never quit the electric guitar. His acoustic work just doesn't compare.

[bornfromashes2008]

he never did quit the electric guitar...

[rupertacdc]

yeah that was in the 90's I think, he didn't quit electric forever haha

[BC944ECfan]

What!!!???

Have you heard Unplugged?

[itspowerex]

Não podemos esquecer também Mark Knofler, Lider Dire Straits

[itspowerex]

Eric Clapton certamente está dentro do time dos 10 melhores guitarristas do mundo......The Best Version....

OBS: LINDSEY BUCKINGHAN GUITARS FLEETWOOD MAC...VERY BEST

[iThrash88]

What a fantastic song...

[LordDirj]

alright, some black guy covered this song in the 90's and it was pretty big. Someone please tell me who its was!

[Madschnun461]

maybe it's babyface. he also covered change the world

[walkwayss]

The best version for me...

Thanks Eric for all moments...

[Great88]

Hes not dead you know lol theres no need to thank him just yet. Hes got alteast another 20 year in him id say.

[walkwayss]

I never said that he's dead you know? I have just thank him BEFORE he will dead...

And I'm agree, Hopefully, He's got altest 20 years in front of him. But don't think that now, I prefer listen is great music instead of think that!

[ankdekat]

yes

[pianoman74]

Yes, better don't. We've already lost too many of his class. Nuff said.

[MoManny]

Great version! Thanks for posting.

[Budo86]

One of the best versions I've ever heard of this song!! Great!!

[remoturbo]

Very impressive solo, beautiful

[Sumac28]

great job,

best song of slowhand with its best performance !

[Daska85]

I think of Santana when I listen to this version somehow... Sounds like him in the beginning

[thorus974]

This is what the song should have been on Pilgrim !
