Eric knows how to step out of the spotlight, and share the stage- he's a true gentleman.

First time I saw EC live was in 1977. When Layla started, he stepped back into the shadows and let George Terry play most of the lead. The fact that he could willingly share the spotlight was when I realized what a true professional EC was!

The amazing music Eric Clapton,Has created and played will be remembered and loved long after much of the 'noise' produced today will ever be. Most music today is trash and noise. It is not melodic whatsoever. Thrashing on,a,guitar?, sure it takes some degree of talent but nothing like putting together lyrics, meaningful with great rhythm and precision,the,way Eric has always played. When he leaves this world he will have left behind a ton of great music, with friends, many friends, who have listened to his music, played his music, played along with both his and their music. He is an ultimate professional and gentleman. Although one of the greatest, he is always willing to take the back seat and let others step out front while he stands back and lets them shine, even,when he is the More talented player. God bless you "slow hand" for the many many years you have given such great God given talent to all of us who love and appreciate the obvious work it has taken you to become a true master of guitar and all genres of music. You will,always be the king.

Awesome group of guys, John Mayer, Derek Trucks...

Damn...Doyle can sing up a storm! What a great vocal on a killer song... I saw him solo in Connecticut a few years ago, and he did an amazing show...

Here they are, the ultimate superband, Eric and the Survivors!!

John still looks like a 15 year old playing in his bedroom with those concentrated guitar faces. Kinda wholesome considering how OP he is at almost 40 years old in this video.

If I had one wish it would be to see Eric Clapton before my time is over. He's been on that bucket list, but only playing in Japan. Please come play in the states again close to Tennessee so I can be blessed with the only thing left on my bucket I haven't gotten to do since finding out the I'm in last stage. What a gift that would be ❣ I'd get get on my knees and beg, just please play the stars again , like Nashville please sir !!! You are and have always been my very favorite !!! Happy 70th !!!

all hail chris stainton on piano. And look how Trucks closes his eyes when Vaughn plays. The man loves the music.

Have to add in Man I love Jimmie Vaughn here. What great licks. The real blues deal.

Been listening to Eric almost since he started. Never seen a bad concert yet! Best in the business and so much class compared to most of the trash offered nowadays. All these folks are great in their own right and nothing but the best for Eric! Eric Clapton is and will always be the best! So many have learned from him, including Hendrix, what a great legacy!

It's so awesome that clapton has Nathan East and Steve Gadd in his band man, they're probably the 2 greatest legends in their instruments today. And damn, do they sound perfect together. They should play as a trio, that would be something special.

yeah since the road to Escondido Eric's kind of taking Johnny Boy under his wing every now and then gave him basically a second chance. John had his own thing going we know but you also have to remember he was also a big douchebag with star power acting like it during the late '90s and to the early 2000s until he pulled his head out of his ass and realize he's actually a damn good guitarist and he needs to focus more on that!! and he has grown up quite a bit. so when you first start out with on that album with a credit people start to look you up more and they realize hey who was playing this song on there that was mayor I'll be damned and then he got invited out to crossroads and people kind of came around and you know said yeah he's a pretty damn good axeman

This was 2015. He's 71 now. Congratulations Eric, further on up the road...........
