His tone is perfect. Even the lead lines are music and not noise

I love the way he just walks out on stage, says Good Evening, and goes right to work.

Truly amazing professional

I'll leave it to others to debate "the best", but this is easily my favorite EC live performance. I'll go even further and say this is EC at his peak. Some, including EC, might say he can no longer play with the speed or high energy of yesterday, to which I say: good. His playing is better off for it, as evidenced by every note being exactly the one needed the whole evening. Without his usual second or third guitar on stage he's left to carry both lead and rhythm, which is what he loves to do anyway, and does so well. It's the most tasteful playing i've ever heard him do. This is truly EC the journeyman, and I highly recommend the dvd.

Superb .. he sings and plays guitar so eleganhly. Its so sweet to the ear..May God give him a long life.🙏🙏

He's the most classy guitar player ever. No one can touch his ability to be the greatest because he's the elegance in guitar playing terms

What makes EC so great is not that he play a million notes in a minute, it's that the notes he does play are musical and fit the song. Some players can play a million notes a minute but those million notes don't fit the song, just their ego.

Man can play one note and I know who it is. Like BB King or a handful of other great players Eric Clapton feels each and every perfectly placed note. I don't know of a greater compliment you can make about a musician. To me he's the best.

Erick Clapton set the bench mark, all others come after him, a class of your own sir and you are the master teacher.

What has made Eric Clapton so popular in recent years is his introducing more and more of the world to old school blues 😊😅😊😅

My main man, cant tell you how he has lifted me since Blind Faith concerts '60s Hyde Park London 😊..like yesterday 😮

I just love his tone these days!

Eric is not just a great guitar player but a good singer too.

One of the best Clapton riffs ever heard in that good ole key...

I saw Billy Preston on keyboards with Eric Clapton in 2001 …AMAZING

❤ Aaah que demander de plus 👌🎶🎸💥💙 Et pourquoi l'aiment -on autant?.... évidemment il y a le Génie Unique, mais, il y a l'Homme et Il est Grand et terriblement Humain !!!!!

There is Eric and then there are the rest. No one has done it any better than him. He has now been playing into his 7 th decade and his music and vocals are the same as its always been. So thankful we still have him to enjoy. For my money the best blues player ever.

I never tire of his music. Started listening to really in 1974 and have never stopped to this day. When I go to his shows the first few minutes I have happy tears. Each show is so enchanting and I feel so lucky to be there.

Eric plays with his soul. Not many can do that. Jimi Hendrix does the same. That is what make both legends the greatest guitar guys. I may have missed some others..The problem is me I always pick these two. ❤

He is the Ferrari of the sound and the performance of blues in "Eric's way" is a special atmosphere for everyone's ears - I consider him the best musician of my generation and I have been following him for about 60 years... Fender Stratocaster plays like this only HE!!!! Just listen and enjoy this is true blues, if you didn't know that he is white, you would identify him with every black artist and musician....😐❤👍🖐

Eric’s spirit will never die !!! ❤️🎸😎 I guess what I really mean is that Mr Clapton is a force of nature that will never leave our hearts ❤ and minds ‼️👍🙏

Flawless melodic notes. I can keep hearing this song. Blues played to Perfection.

What a spectacular show!

I've definitely got blues reverberating in my soul

EC was always at his best when he played the blues. Check out Derek & the Dominoes “Mean Old World” & you’ll have to agree. For those unaware, “Derek” was combining Duane (Allman) & Eric (Clapton).

I remember Mr. Clapton with Blind Faith. Concert in Hyde Park 1969, playing 'Can't find my way home' with Steve Winwood (singing) and Ginger Baker working the drums. Mr. Clapton a bit in the background. But that would change. Not as Clapton played with J.J. Cale (his friend RIP). J.J. yelling "Hey Clapton !" asking him to come up front, but Sir Clapton shaking his head and giving honour to his friend.

Slowhand is so smooth. Groovy man.

i am from somaliland stil i lovet this musik

I highly recommend the Slowhand at 70 . 2 CDs with a DVD. Very, very Good to say the least!!!

Taste, timing, groove - pure class!
