The most difficult thing for any musician is to transmit emotions. You can practice a lot and be very fast and clean, but you have to feel what you play for your listeners to feel it as well. Clapton does it wonderfully.

I only saw your comment today, but definitely agree with what you said! I’m almost 70 yrs old now and was trained as a classical pianist and organist since I was 5. It’s one thing to be taught to read notes on paper and apply them to an instrument. I learned at an early age that this alone doesn’t mean that a person is, or will be, a talented musician (with any instrument). Technically it could make them ‘good’, but to be ‘great’ all around can only come from within the heart and soul, and ‘felt’ by them AND those who listen/watch them play! *** Another Clapton performance where this is clearly visible to the audience was in his performance of ‘Have You Ever Loved a Woman’, which I believe was the one done at the Fillmore East (he also played it at the F. West) quite some time ago. I’ve NEVER seen Clapton play with the amount of feeling and visible emotions as he did in this one - even more than River of Tears - and that says a lot! He’s really one of the very few guitarists who can play so well, and yet makes it look so easy!

That line…”Lord, how long must this go on”…..turns on the faucet every time

One of my favorite Clapton tunes. Loves how he makes that guitar whisper, talk, sing and cry

I'm glad Eric is still here. So many great ones are gone but we still have Eric. Play on brother.

Eric is 77 (in 2022). He suffers from tinnitus, lower-back pain, and is going deaf. He is living with peripheral neuropathy, which sometimes affects his ability to play guitar. But he is still here. Play on brother.

It won't all be gone. All you have to do is watch the way he has been mentoring young guitarists on stage for decades now. He often stands back to give them room to fly. He said himself that he feels a certain obligation to make sure the Blues keeps on. Clapton was a young guy once himself, and band mates have said he was good, but not yet great. Give the next generation time, there may, or may not, be another Clapton in there, but there are some outstanding musicians in the crop.

I agree! Mostly! Eric has overcome his very real pain by understanding, through It all and dispite his self inflicted pain and internal relentless struggle against his personal "demons", that he can successfully channel such highly consuming energy into something which benefits so many - his soulful and heartfelt music! This Is not negative nor judgemental concerning his choices but rather a comment concerning the reality that many of his poor choices have given him - so much fuel for his creativity. And this Is a truly magnificent human response which identifies his ability to overcome such adversity by turning It into a creative force. A creativity (and personal story) for which we have benefitted without end (and thankfully so has he)! So Mr. Clapton Is truly deserving of the adulation surrounding his creativity, his longevity and his ability to maintain control over those very real, almost demonic attempts to destroy him all the while creating, for those of us who render to him undivided loyalty and gratitude and many many others, music that touches us to our very soul. It Is my prayer that this man continues to benefit from the heartfelt graditude we share as "fans" and grateful recipients of his gifts of music - music that heals, warms and embraces the very soul of all Who hear, and most importantly listen to, his music endlessly! Thank you Eric for overcoming and hanging on to keep us from all from drowning in our own very real tears!

"River Of Tears" It's three miles to the river That would carry me away, And two miles to the dusty street That I saw you on today. It's four miles to my lonely room Where I will hide my face, And about half a mile to the downtown bar That I ran from in disgrace. Lord, how long have I got to keep on running, Seven hours, seven days or seven years? All I know is, since you've been gone I feel like I'm drowning in a river, Drowning in a river of tears. Drowning in a river. Feel like I'm drowning, Drowning in a river. In three more days, I'll leave this town And disappear without a trace. A year from now, maybe settle down Where no one knows my face. I wish that I could hold you One more time to ease the pain, But my time's run out and I got to go, Got to run away again. Still I catch myself thinking, One day I'll find my way back here. You'll save me from drowning, Drowning in a river, Drowning in a river of tears. Drowning in a river. Feels like I'm drowning, Drowning in the river. Lord, how long must this go on? Drowning in a river, Drowning in a river of tears.

I want this to be played at my funeral! (Not all the lyrics are relevant, but there’s something about this classic beauty that just hits home for me!)

It's three miles to the river That would carry me away Two miles to the dusty street That I saw you on today It's four miles to my lonely room Where I will hide my face And about half a mile to the downtown bar That I ran from in disgrace Lord how long have I got to keep on running Seven hours seven days or seven years? All I know is since you've been gone I feel like I'm drowning in a river Drowning in a river of tears Drowning in a river Feel like I'm drowning Drowning in a river In three more days, I'll leave this town And disappear without a trace A year from now, maybe settle down Where no one knows my face I wish that I could hold you One more time to ease the pain But my time's run out and I got to go Got to run away again Still I catch myself thinking One day I'll find my way back here You'll save me from drowning Drowning in a river Drowning in a river of tears Drowning in a river Feels like I'm drowning Drowning in the river Oh, how long must this go on? Drowning in a river Drowning in a river of tears

Thank Eric Clapton for your amazing song💯💯💯💯❤❤❤🤲

Eric plays & sings with every soulful fiber of his body. River of Tears is on repeat on my plsylist.❤❤

I replay this video at least once a week. His lady in the balcony version is also a true masterpiece but when he rips his last solo on this one, my hair on my arms stands straight up! Blues forever!

Love the sound of this song. Reminds me of my divorce ten yrs ago. I was married for 17yrs. Divorce is like a death of a dream but you must go on.

Cannot get enough of his music. He is so real!

Hello @marylougold8333, I'm glad you're a fan. How are you doing today? It's my pleasure meeting you here. Is this one of your favorite songs?

When he passes over we lose his gift forever. There will never be another... Practice all you want play all you want you will never achieve what he has done its Divine it's from the gods it's above us to play like he does!!!!!

His work will last, I’ve listened to many in my life but Clapton surely rates the top of all the around musicians.

He realy can make that guitar 🎸 sing what a magnificent song ❤️

From Russia with love for Eric

Decades-long fan. So much emotion. Words just touch the soul. This one makes me cry every time, and that says a lot about the man and his music.

Eric baby 💋 such a beautiful song it makes me remember my beautiful father’s eyes 🙏🏽 He’s gone but never ever forgotten.🌹
