Extreemly lucky ,and appropriately both envied and honored 👌👍

The pure genius that is Clapton.

Eric's homage to his blues guitar mentor Freddie King. It's one of Freddie's signature songs and a classic blues lament about unrequited love. Excellent pick Miss B! Thanks Harri.

Yes it was Robert Cray and also Buddy Guy in the background, this is from the 24 Nights concerts and is legendary 🔥

Always liked his singing voice. 😊

This was from Eric's 1975 album, E C Was Here, which was the first of several recordings Eric did of this song. Originally released in 1960, by Freddy King, Eric does justice to this beast of the Blues. His guitar work is outstanding and permeates every bit of your soul. I think he is talking about Patti in this song, George Harrison's wife, which may make the emotion even stronger. Great reaction Harri. Thanks Harri and Miss Blondie. 👏👏 Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

A lot of people think he wrote this about Patti Boyd (The wife he shared with Harrison), but it's not his song. But I do wonder if that's why he chose to record it.

One of the best blues musicians on the planet You should check out the song It Hurts Me To. If you like the blues You will love this song and Eric’s performance

Eric is the best ever to this day in 2024❤Forever Fan ❤

Such a great song by a great performer. Thank you Miss Blondie.

Love the Derek and the Dominoes version.

The D. & D live version is one of the best ever, at only 26 years old!

And now, my world is a better place to be today..... Thanks

When Clapton plays the blues, it makes my knees weak!

He first played this in John Mayalls Blues Breakers before he ever met Patty Boyd.

Hmmm...No, I think he had already met her, but she was married to George Harrison.

Blues is top and the root of all pop music. "The Bristish blues invasion of the 60's put the afro-american bluesmen on the map. Otherwise, we would be still in misery." -- B.B. King, his autobiography. "Blues can catch any soul. It's about failed love, bad love, lost love, etc." -- Son House

The living legend ❤❤❤❤

Always great to hear the GOAT 👏

Eric is one of my all time favorites and one of the best. So jealous of his head of hair because I lost mine. I lost my prostate to agent orange in VN. My late mother thought that's why I lost my hair. BLESS HER HEART ❤️

Harri, you should get a copy of Eric's "Crossroads 2 (Live in the Seventies)". 4 CDs of performances from 1974 to 1979.

And 24 Nights at the Royal Albert Hall, a perfect demonstration of how he can cross the genres

Hey Harri. Check out Eric performing Old Love live at Hyde Park. That will give you chills.

harry there is another video of clapton doing this song at the filmore in 1992....he's playing one of his 60's gibson guitars....i believe its even a better performance with horns

Clapton never uses his little finger on his left hand while soloing. Crazy!

I read an interview where Eric said he doesn't use his pinky finger during solo's, because it's too uncomfortable twisting his wrist around. Using only 3 fingers gives more strength and dexterity when working the frets. 🎼

Django Reinhardt could only use his index and middle fingers to solo, and could use his other fingers for chords on the low end of the fretboard.

Ole Slowhand lived this song.

Eric the love of my life😊yes he plays until today the same😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Also " One Night Only " live in the 70's. And live at Madison Square Garden with Steve Winwood

Eric, Patty and George ♥♥🎸🎶☮

Thank you Miss Blondie and Harri

Fantastic performance!

🎸💯 Eric Clapton is an amazing artist‼🔥🐐 I've seen him 4 or 5 times and he's been incredible each & every time‼☮ ❤ 🎶

Clapton at his best. My favorite song of his. His whole heart was in this one because it was real. Sometimes he doesn’t get to this place.

A standing "O" indeed! Thanks.

Slow Hand at his finest

🥂 X's Tear, I cry too😅sir. Harri thank you, you make my mornings a bit easier ♥️🇿🇦

As I understand it he was talking about Pattii Boyd at the time it was written. She went on the divorce George, marry Eric, and divorce him over his substance abuse. Layla was also written about Patti.

I love this! Never heard this Clayton song, but have enjoyed his music for many decades.

Really like your descriptions and terminology about what this sounded like to you, Harri!

You really must hear Freddie King do this song… also, a great song for Eric’s playing is Sleepy Time Time from the first Cream album, Fresh Cream from 1966..

Oh yeah my brother that's exactly what it was... Harrison delema 😎👌

Check out Eric Clapton and Pavarotti live sing Holy Mother it's awesome!!

Harry you should check out this song by Eric on a live album called One more car, One more driver. It has an incredible line up of musicians. It was his 2001 tour.

This is good. His playing is good. But I do really like the version with Derek and The Dominos which has more raw and such a sense of desperation in his voice. He was I believe living and feeling the song lyrics during recording the Layla Lp and it comes through.

Another great song Miss B. I have heard this by Freddie King ages ago but Eric Clapton can make any song great. Thanks Miss B ❤ and Harri.

HARRI RIGHT JUST INCREDIBLE

Yes it was Robert Cray and Buddy Guy and on the piano is Johnnie Johnson from Chuck Berry

I've listen to this song hundreds of times. I'm a blues fan, and I go to Clapton for some good blues in certain moods.

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻! Clapton is the Guitar God❤

He is a guitar God

Such a great song

It is an old blues song that Freddie King covered and that is where he got it from

Yes Harri, It was Robert Cray.

It was one of several old blues songs on the Layla and other assorted love songs

Clapton

Yesssss!! Miss B, This is truly a great submission. This is a favorite in my EC Collection. Now, so many viewers will enjoy this EC performance, thanks to you. Harri, your review was A+

Cheers for the video mate 😎 👌

Clapton here in his Wheelhouse . From his time with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers , this tempo always got the message across .

It was wrote by billy myles and first played by freddie king in 1960

Ah, Eric in concert. The Layla album version is the supreme for me🎸

Nothing touches 24 Nights.

If u can find it he does this on his old Gibson and Freddy going it

This version is much more mellow. Check this other Clapton version. kzread.info/dash/bejne/pquBk6Zvn67IiLA.html

You can't beat Freddie King's version if this song.

Harri - You really should check out my favorite version of this great song: kzread.info/dash/bejne/k2tnrtqiXdKZaJs.html Two guitar gods, Eric Clapton and Duane Allman, trading amazing guitar play throughout this track from their 1970 album (Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs). Eric recorded this song maybe ten different times over the course of his career - beginning with a live version recorded in 1965. The song was written by Billy Myles - and Freddie King first recorded it in 1960.

If there wasn't documentary evidence to the contrary I'd think that Eric and Freddy were the same person 😉😄 Eric is always great when he's exercising his inner Freddy. Here's "Tore Down" kzread.info/dash/bejne/eoaKz8iClpfSdcY.html

You should to do some more dramatic faces if not what's your role ? :))))

Played wrong version off 2 record set best of blues

George was g9ing with Ringos wife

Surely it is a Shame and a sin😮

Eric Clapton who single-handedly sparked the Rock Against Racism movement! Really! Great artist but .....?

But what? A typical assanine comment. Keep bringing up a stupid drunken comment he made close to 50 years ago, that he apologized for. Funny, you don't mention that BB, Buddy, Nathan East, Willie Weeks, Katie Kissoon, Sharon Johns, Robert Randolph, Gary Clark Jr, Greg Phillagenes, Sonny Emory and many others say about the respect abd friendship they have with EC. See what they all have in common. BB in a toast on stage near the end of his life said I have traveled around the world and met Kings and Queens, but i never met a finer man then my friend Eric Clapton. He has done so many things for me and many of us to help out throughout the years. May i say, i hope that i live forever, but you live forever and a day, so i can say that while we were alive we were friends! I think i will take BBs opinion of EC over a dope who knows nothing about him, like you! How about looking into what he does for the LOCALS in Antigua. He built, funded and supports a Crossroads addiction rehabilitation center, that he allows locals to use AT NO CHARGE! He funds and puts on concerts and guitar auctions to support it. I can't stand the old BS that cluless people like you keep rehashing. When you have done a millimeter of what he has to help and support charities and people of minorities and less fortunate means, THEN TALK!.
