@Dutchy1965; I think this is when Clapton was struggling to regain significant respect as a blues player, and suffering the bad things that happen while a person gets clean and sober. So this might be why he looks 'sad,' and also why he has that look of determination that Chuck Norris does so well.
@Dutchy1965 Eric Clapton is not like that, and I'm sure Otis Rush would be sad to read what you wrote. They are friends,and both greats in their own right. Why be so mean?
@Dutchy1965 why is it that great artist like eric clapton, mark knopfler, otis rush respect each other and enjoy playing on the same stage, and pieces of shit such as yourself always talk trash about them?
@ Back To The Blues- How wonderful that you have that instrumental by Eddie!!! I would very much love to have a copy of the material for his son and myself, if that is at all possible. We would be most grateful. Please contact~ Suzanne
The unsung hero here is The Professor, EDDIE LUSK, on keys, R.I.P He was the leader & helped Otis Rush for years, as well as Phil Guy, Luther Allison, and a ton of others. The glue that made it all come together. I'm just sayin as I knew the cat!
@katharine46 A great keyboard player, and a great loss to the blues. I have an instrumental he did on an old JSP album (a record label here in the UK), he had some real groove to his playing!
Been having a trawl through some Otis Rush stuff here on youtube, strange to think that I always think of him as a young blues player, and he's now 75!
@katharine46 I used to jam with The Professor, as well as Bernard Allison and others, in Peoria Heights back in the day. One night, SRV walked in with his guitar, sat down and let us finish our tune, then asked if he could sit in (he was in Peoria for a concert that night). We said of course, but can you imagine how intimidating that was? Bernard kept up with him pretty well, but finally literally bowed to Stevie.
Clapton singing "it's hard to keep decent clothes to wear" and "can't keep a job" doesn't exactly ring of autheticity. ....but the man can sure play the blues.
Clapton was preceded by Top Topham in the Yardbirds. His stunning / magical version of this is on YouTube (look for: "double trouble" topham). Some nice music history there too (Topham was 15 after the Yardbirds got hot but his parents made him go back to school!).
I love EC, but one question...in the videos from this era, he always looks so angry and brooding between songs. Look at him when they talk to him or get a candid shot of him...he has an angry, furrowed brow.
I have always loved Clapton, but the fact that he time and time again acknowledges the "old" southern blues greats solidifies my feelings about the man. Honorable and a truly great musician! LONG LIVE THE BLUES!
Looks like Clapton has a pissy look on his face. Like they maybe had a hissy fit before going on. I dont see any love and admiration here. Could be me????
PAUL BUTTERFIELD did version of this on his 67 album, and I'm going to put it on my first cd with my band, The Beretta Blues Xpress, covering soem of the greats such as Otis, muddy,Willie, Howlin Wolf and of course Buttterfield, who was my idol growing up while i was learning to play the harmonica. 30 years later, I'm still playing it, "Keeping the Blues Alive"
what a classic blues tune, lyrics typify what the blues is all about, laid off from work, can't keep a job, walkin around with no place to go or ant money to show, that's what teh blues is all about, brother...................................
LOVE, this SONG!! i sing it with my band, put a great harmonica solo in the middle and fill in parts between lyrics with high crying notes, like butterfield used to
great clip. seeing as Otis recorded this tune in the late 50s, and when you listen to the original, the first thing you notice is EC was HEAVILY influenced by Otis' vocals, which is a good thing. no doubt young EC listened to Otis Rush vinyl, studied it
Clap(town) is the most overrated guitar player of the last century. He knows it, and he pays his homage to the real masters like Mr. Rush. He sound like Otis and he sounds like Freddie King, but he ain't no soul of his own. The perfect copycat.
@JacKass00001 I don't know if I totally agree there. Listen to clpton playing with dirty mac during the rolling stones' rock n roll circus. Clapton has skills. The thing is Clapton always wanted to sound like a black man playing the blues and he's accomplished this feat. That's why B.B King, Buddy Guy and Ray Charles all say he's the best. Personally,I think Jimi Hendrix was the best but that's just my opinion.
He's a fuckin' great guitarist, but what's irritate me is his lack of own style. He have a technique way over the most of the guitarists the last 4 decades. But not his own tune, style, etc. In my head that's a copycat.
Look at Otis Rush, he got his own style, and Clapton does it better technically than mr. Rush. Same with his work with Freddie King, he played Freddie better technically than Freddie, but it was just cleverness, no intenity, no gutso. No BLUES.
@JacKass00001 I don't think Clapton is better than Freddie King or Otis Rush. I thinks he's just as good though. I will disagree with you...Clapton always leaves the blues in when he plays. it's all blues my friend.
@JacKass00001 I'm sorry to say this to you, but you have no idea what you are talking about. You must not be a musician. Clapton is not a technical guitarist so to speak...not even close. You want pure technique with no soul, listen to the thousands of young metal sweep-pickers, they are all better than Clapton, technically... Clapton is ALL FEELING. ALL BLUES. Go see one of his live performances. It's worth the ticket price. And then you will understand what I am talking about. Cheers.
@kingkull0423 My friend..anyone who ever picked up an instrument and played anything non-classical has been trying to play "black" music. It's ALL black music. And that's alright with me. Elvis did it, Eminem is doing it...and of course Clapton does it... And you do it too my friend... We all try to imitate "black" music. In the end, music has no color my friend... only sweet sweet sounds understood by all people...Cheers.
@shinigami285 The best impression is probably rendered by Peter Green. When i heard some of the covers he performed live in France, I smacked myself because I could have sworn it was Otis Rush singing! The best example is probably "Homework".
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
That bass player must have thought it was amateur hour at the Appollo. Dang, you have Clapton and Rush up there and you can't lay down a solid rhythm.. with the proper chord progression.
I am fortunate to have Otis,he was in bad health,but I had the chance to sit and talk with him,as well as his good wife(she was concerned).The only bad thing was he cursed out in an audience that included young children. You don't go over too well in Cincinnati,like that. But he was Cool
Thats the most wasted Clapton I've ever seen in a video. I guess this was before he cleaned up. He was a mentor to SRV cleaning up. Just reading a biography right now went to the Youtube to check out some of SRV's music mentors like Otis Rush here. Interesting to see Otis and Eric play together. Cool tune and video.
Eric's contemplative 'slide', seemingly out of nowhere, is better than 3 hours of listeniing to my philosophy professor lecture in college. And I thought that was good!
Or, I guess what I really mean is that is says just as much.
I get sic. Otis Rush asked EC if he could do "Double Troble"!!! In the 70' Clapton later on admits that he didn't even knew wich planet he was on. EC has alway been , is and will always be a perfect copycat. In his regards he will have that he has always supported his masters (Freddie, Otis, etc). A greater gutarist (
(Another useless fantasy of mine) - I feel that I could be perfectly happy living with this younger Eric ( beard and all) in some town in West Virginia, coming home late at night after his shows to drink even more beer and bring the dogs in from the scrappy front yard - -filled with several of his favorite vintage cars for tinkering, of course.
Otis is in true form here! From the 1986 video, the emcee states that Eric invited Otis to Montreaux to do the show because Eric thought it was important to help expose a true master....also Luther Allison appears at this concert for a great version of "Everyday I Have the Blues"
Why bring race into it because race is always a factor. African People started many of the genres of music that whites have grown to imitate and in some cases have grown to play very well. Be we all know the truth. Blacks start everything and everyone learns from us. Look at Egypt!
as a white musician, im not ashamed to say my favorite music, and all the great musical breakthroughs of the past 100+ years, have been created by blacks (blues, jazz, funk, reggae, hip hop and rock n roll) i cant stand country or opera
Well benjammin420420 thats great that you recognize that, and just love to play the music because it does something for you. In many cases the student always becomes better than the teacher. I love to Dengue Blues from Dusk to dawn by the Vaughn Brothers
Blues, jazz particularly were heavily influenced by western musical forms - mixed with west African rhythms. Music, like all the arts is borrowing and melding
I'ts big money to see EC, & Otis has been retired by his stroke, but the 3rd guitarist onstage , Anthony Palmer, is easy to catch regularly in Chicago clubs, (such as the "Kingston Mines" most Wednesdays), w/"The Jimmy Burns Band". Sharing the stage with these two giants, Tony understandably wasn't given a solo, but he gets plenty now & he's tearin' it up!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
clapton usualy seems like a phoney when he steps out of rock and plays his elder bluesman schtick. how can he even sing this song? wish it was him that had the stroke and not otis rush. maybe than he could sing the blues with feeling and i could go out and catch mr. rush tonight at a club. apologies to all the clapton(white) blues fans. you don't need to tell me how lame i am, it's all been said already.
u must be very young ...Eric is the king of white boys blues...I have been to lots of chicago blues clubs....and seen the Great black players.....they r gr8 and so is Clapton
ang mga katulad mo ang dapat ma stroke, racist, ang musika ay para sa lahat, kahit ano pa ang iyong kulay, maging itim ka man o puti, nag-aral ka ba? bagamundo, tampalasan....
sorry but that's a very ignorant comment - listen to some peter green...he's white and plays the blues with as much feeling as anyone else ever has - black or white...why even bring race into it, it all the blues, and blues is about feeling, which we all have, regardless of ethnic origin
just an absolutely great version of a timeless blues classic, if you don't dig this, you don't dig music at all!!!

Having an inebriated Clapton come home to you (ahh, if he did that night. . . ) is better than no Clapton at all!!

Blues came from gospel music... starting with the slaves that migrated north after emancipation

Overreact much?
The mic forgot to turn itself on, so awe-struck and fearful it was of Otis' godliness.

Eric's contemplative 'slide', seemingly out of nowhere, is better than 3 hours of listeniing to my philosophy professor lecture in college. And I thought that was good!
Or, I guess what I really mean is that is says just as much.

Is it just me, or does this song have notes/chords similar to a Spanish lullaby, i.e. something that would be played on acoustic guitar?
It's incredibly relaxing, and puts me in a romantic mood:)

I wish this song went on for at least 45 minutes - just long enough to really chill me out.

I get sic. Otis Rush asked EC if he could do "Double Troble"!!! In the 70' Clapton later on admits that he didn't even knew wich planet he was on. EC has alway been , is and will always be a perfect copycat. In his regards he will have that he has always supported his masters (Freddie, Otis, etc). A greater gutarist (
SRV) had the decency to call his trio......

(Another useless fantasy of mine) - I feel that I could be perfectly happy living with this younger Eric ( beard and all) in some town in West Virginia, coming home late at night after his shows to drink even more beer and bring the dogs in from the scrappy front yard - -filled with several of his favorite vintage cars for tinkering, of course.

I love that this Englishman (EC) is playing so expertly right next to the one and only Otis Rush. Lovely song.

Otis is in true form here! From the 1986 video, the emcee states that Eric invited Otis to Montreaux to do the show because Eric thought it was important to help expose a true master....also Luther Allison appears at this concert for a great version of "Everyday I Have the Blues"

Why bring race into it because race is always a factor. African People started many of the genres of music that whites have grown to imitate and in some cases have grown to play very well. Be we all know the truth. Blacks start everything and everyone learns from us. Look at Egypt!

as a white musician, im not ashamed to say my favorite music, and all the great musical breakthroughs of the past 100+ years, have been created by blacks (blues, jazz, funk, reggae, hip hop and rock n roll) i cant stand country or opera
benjammin420420 3 years ago
Well benjammin420420 thats great that you recognize that, and just love to play the music because it does something for you. In many cases the student always becomes better than the teacher. I love to Dengue Blues from Dusk to dawn by the Vaughn Brothers

Well 1sonofkush there are some original performers of the original music that the student will never ever be better than the masters.......

What about the Indians and the Chinese?
Blues, jazz particularly were heavily influenced by western musical forms - mixed with west African rhythms. Music, like all the arts is borrowing and melding

I'ts big money to see EC, & Otis has been retired by his stroke, but the 3rd guitarist onstage , Anthony Palmer, is easy to catch regularly in Chicago clubs, (such as the "Kingston Mines" most Wednesdays), w/"The Jimmy Burns Band". Sharing the stage with these two giants, Tony understandably wasn't given a solo, but he gets plenty now & he's tearin' it up!

clapton usualy seems like a phoney when he steps out of rock and plays his elder bluesman schtick. how can he even sing this song? wish it was him that had the stroke and not otis rush. maybe than he could sing the blues with feeling and i could go out and catch mr. rush tonight at a club. apologies to all the clapton(white) blues fans. you don't need to tell me how lame i am, it's all been said already.

sorry but that's a very ignorant comment - listen to some peter green...he's white and plays the blues with as much feeling as anyone else ever has - black or white...why even bring race into it, it all the blues, and blues is about feeling, which we all have, regardless of ethnic origin
