I love these unexpected collaborations! Props to Clapton for having the confidence to sing with Pavarotti. It's fun to see Pavarotti smiling and enjoying himself here too. I think we wrongly tend to expect that singers and musicians can only appreciate the type of music that they perform themselves. You have shown us many times that this is not the case, Fil, and I think collaborations like this bring that home as well.

I discovered one of those magic collaborations not too long ago...more than a decade late! Alison Krause and Robert Palmer. Amazing.

Clapton does an amazing job singing this. And Pavarotti....there's no words.

From the smile on Pavarotti's face he is having the time of his life! He is totally enjoying himself and Clapton's solo Guitar playing!

Pavarotti admired and loved rock, jazz, pop, etc,,,, In the interview about his last tour when in Australia I read on youtube - can't remember the title - he admitted with a bit of jealousy that he wished the huge amount of creativity and artistry amongst the popular genres of music and he wished opera could have something similar

@@msblue1003 Definitely. He allways tought this way. I think that's the reason why he teached something unique at Bocelli... who learned it well, it seems.

Marriage is often the successful union of two very different personalities . Here is an example of a marriage of such distinct voices that join beautifully. Thanks Fil.

What a lovely comment!

This duet was such a highlight of the Pavarotti and Friends concert series

Luciano Pavarotti did a series of benefit concerts "Pavarotti & Friends" between 1992 and 2003 in his home town of Modena, Italy. I have seen several of them the professionalism between the artists he has performed with all have been great. I always love the little details you point out in your analysis that we can over look at times. will tune in to part two.

No ... couldn't even imagine these two together! ☺️ But, it definitely works for me! What great artist's they are. Thank you Fil!🌷

Wow! That was an incredible performance! Eric and Lucianos voices blended so beautifully together in this song. I really enjoyed part 1 of this analysis, and am looking forward to part 2. Thank you, Fil, for another great analysis!

This is not a collab I could have seen coming, but I'm definitely here for it! Clapton's vocals and guitar work are stellar, as always, and Pavarotti is magnificent as always also. I love the big smile on Pavarotti's face!

This one's going on my playlist.

Once again, you've introduced me to something amazing that I would have never found on my own. This was absolutely sublime, and will definitely be going on my playlist.

Wow I got chills right away. What a great collaboration. Love when genres mix. Thanks Fil for bringing us education & smiles 😊🤟🌆🌠✨️🎤🎼🎸🎶

Thanks for this FIL! Seeing these two perform together is simply amazing. The feeling in Eric’s voice is palpable. It’s almost like he’s singing in prayer asking for help, possibly over the loss of his son. And then Pavarotti’s voice is so moving as well. To see the joy on his face performing with Eric is also moving. The choir adds another beautiful dimension. Seeing all 3 performer on one song is stirring indeed.

Wow!Wow! Wow! So Cool

WOW....This is an amazing collaboration. Your analysis of this video was so detailed, entertaining and wonderful. Thank you for another job well done.

Although each man represents different genres of music, one can see an appreciation, admiration, and respect for each other.

Great analysis of the unexpected.

This was a great collaboration. I’ve always been a Clapton fan since his Cream days. He does a fantastic job here just doing his music and doing it well. The guitar solo was premium Clapton. The best. I think Pavarotti enjoys these collaborations where he can sing a different genre than heavy opera. I am a always blown away with his voice. When he used to perform as part of The Three Tenors, his voice was always “bigger” than the other two. Not louder, just bigger. Amazing.

Many years ago in a picture of the Blues Breakers Sitting on a bench, I bet Clapton never pictured himself on stage with Pavarotti. And Pavarotti never pictured himself with Clapton. Bringing it together years later so beautifully . 👍🙂👍

This was great. You can hear the cry in poveratti's voice.

I love this, hadn't heard this one before!

Had not seen this one. Two of my favorites are Pavarotti with James Brown (It's a Man's World married with a piece I don't know), and with Brian Adams both doing O Sole Mio. Fantastic collaborations with both parties enjoying the heck out of singing with each other. Excellent analysis!

Amazing! Rock and Operatic together and it's magical. Once again you surprised me. I love both Clapton and Pavarotti. 🤗🌻🐝👏👏👏

I love gospel and choir music Fil. Thank you for this.

This reminds me of the collab between Freddy Mercury andMontserrat Caballe that you analyzed two years ago. Thanks, Fil. Looking forward to part two on Wed.

Hello Fil.. 🌹 i cried for this beautiful moment, unlikely and succesful association.!! Clapton ... And Pavaroti..!!.It was my mother's favorite tenor..🌟thank hou Fil.. many Love 🫂🎸💌

beautiful

Bravo.❤

THANK YOU SO MUCH, FIL! A collaboration of two of the greatest icins of out tine, though in different genres. I miss Luciano SO MUCH.. what a genius! He had no problem blending with modern artists of totally different musical genres. That was part of his appeal to so many different people of all ages. I LOVED HIM. You are just beyond fabulous for choosing this to analyze for us..many thanks! Fabulous, as ALWAYS. 😊 Rosemarie 🩷

I really like listening to these two sing they are really great..

I have heard of this collaboration. I didn't see Pavarotti live, but I did see Eric Clapton live. This is awesome. Thanks for sharing this analysis video. Cheers, Fil! ✌️

Hi Fil, What a beautiful song, performed by two brilliant artists of two totally different genres of music. And yet it all works! Clapton holds his own vocally and of course musically and Pavarotti although a powerhouse vocally maintains a sense of control and balance. You can see they really had a great working chemistry going on! An unlikely pairing but with magical results… thanks for sharing this one with us! Looking forward to part II. Have a great day! Debbie☮️

This was so good! I never would have thought of this collaboration and it was wonderful. Thank you for doing this analysis and I look forward to part 2. God bless you.

Can this get any more beautiful? So touching and feel every word in my heart. Thank you for sharing this analysis. I’ve watched them Perform before but your analysis is superb. ❤ thank you, Fil!

@LadyJofScott 1 second ago I think it's a fantastic collab. It's beautifully done by two great artists. Pavarotti had such an amazing voice.

This is a great analysis, Fil. I never imagined the two of them together. It is beautiful. Luciano has so much depth in his voice - so full. Eric is fantastic. I really liked his solo career in the 1990s - a lot of blues. Luciano is really controlling his voice holding back on the strong vibrato and it works for this song.

Uauuuuu - stupendo --CLAPTON 🎸🎤🎶BRIVIDI - PAVAROTTI 👌💫💥

Great analysis with the tone and so grateful that you pointed out the richness of Luciano's voice easy to overlook the various styles and the genius of both.

Just WOW!!!!! Very emotional reaction to this-tear meter 100%🤠👏👏

Wow.... The performance, the notes, the expression of the words, it touched me deeply and brought tears to my eyes. Ever grateful to my Lord and Savior Jesus for His great and perfect sacrifice. What a tremendous collaboration between two accomplished and talented musicians... so different, but so well adapted to each other for this song (as you explained so well, Fil). I can't wait to hear part 2. You rock!

Love this one, Fil, I was unaware of this collaboration! Just gorgeous!! Love from Vermont!

Beautiful, uplifting gospel choir, too. I'm not mad about Clapton's idiom but obviously he does epic guitar breaks. Which, in some collaborations, can get rudely jostled in the mix. Admirably audible here.

Great!❤

This was certainly a unique collaboration. My favorite solo by Luciano Pavarotti is Che faro senza Euridice - may he rest in peace. My favorite Eric Clapton song is Tears in Heaven. These two certainly had in common the ability to elicit emotions with their song. Looking forward to Part Deux. Thank you, Fil.

Fil, you never disappoint! Appreciate you Bro. Luv&Peace. Cheers to continued success! Amazing job friend.🍻🤝🏼✌🏼

I love collaborations with Luciano Pavarotti. In addition to being an extremely good singer, he has a wonderful and generous heart that enables performances like this!

Amazing Grace Fil!!!

Liked your highlighting an explainer of Pavarotti's cross genre appeal--- the less theatrical vibrato.

4:48 And that’s despite Eric’s mic being set way lower than he normally has it! He normally stands upright and throws his head back - here, he’s really having to stoop but when he first steps up to sing it doesn’t bother him, or seem to affect any of his performance. Props. Looking forward to Part 2, Fil 🎸👍

Yes, good catch! Eric does do that and I think it gives him a more open throat for his singing. Makes it easier on his voice.

Fil, I absolutely love this. Magnifico!

You really expect Pavarotti to nail the notes but damn, Clapton hits them right on. Great performance and their voices sound really great together. Thanks again Fil for another tremendous Performance review! Clapton's guitar tone in this is nothing short of great!

Fabulous duet and analysis. Can’t wait for Part 2! So good.

Speechless, Fil. Just Bravo!

I loved it! I’ve seen it before, from Pavarotti and Friends. But I never saw it with you educating me!!!! Thank you again for your brilliant insights, especially the vibrato explanation!, Your reactions are priceless!!!! Please please do the Celine/Pavarotti duet, “ I hate you then I love you.” I would LOVE to hear YOUR analysis.

Fantastic perfomance by two musical greats. Wonderful analysis as usual Fil. Many thanks

I watched this on live tv at the time and I was blown away by the performance. In those years Eric had his best tone ever on guitar thanks to his Diaz modded Twin amp.

Just a great sound. Independent of your genre preference or your religious leanings and absorbing the musicality it was a nice deep dive Fil. You are top notch!

Masterful! Choir, symphony, Pavoarotti singing in English, and my obsession. Beautiful

Good analysis. I also finished listening to The Alan Longmuir Tribute Who is the founder of The Bay City Rollers. He would have turned 75 Tuesday June 20.Alan passed away on July 2 2018.On the BCR Radio show that comes on Fridays. Hope that you had a good family time. And that your Dad had a great Father’s Day🎸🤟❤️💙

Taylor and May of Queen also performed with Pavarotti.

Wow absolutely amazing. I love it

So glad you are showing this. I have seen this performance several times and it never ceases to amaze. That last part with Clapton’s solo and Pavarotti’s voice is pure delight.

Love this! Huge Clapton fan from way back in The Yardbirds & Cream. Pavarotti is amazing. Awesome video! I have the same shirt Fil🤘

Thanks for bringing us this unique duo Fil. Clapton didn't do anything for me,but Pavarotti gave me goosepimples. Did enjoy the rock/classical collaboration.

Wow, didn’t know that existed!!!! Thanks Fil !!

Great discussion, Fil! Loved your Liza/Judy vibrato demonstration. My favorite singer who uses vibrato and straight ahead singing together is Ian Gillan. He could scream on pitch with vibrato in a high range. ❤ Could you do an episode on him? You probably already have!

Thank you Fil! As allways it is so interesting to listen to your analysis, and hear you pointing out the best parts. Love ❤️

And now I cannot unsee it. Thanks a lot Fil.

Check out Placido Domingo singing with John Denver. Song called, Perhaps Love.

That was a stunning surprise and indeed, an unexpected collaboration. You never cease to amaze me with the analysis videos like this. I couldn't help but wonder if this was a prayer of sorts from Eric given he'd lost his child barely 5 years prior. Thanks Fil! Looking forward to part two.

I understand Eric wrote this when he hit bottom with his drug addiction. Simply the most beautiful and emotional collab.

Thanks for another excellent analysis, Fil. The main quality both artists share is impeccable taste - it’s what really made this collaboration work so well. Looking forward to part two!

This is a wonderful collaboration

Dr. Steve Gadd on drums makes it even more epic.

Thanks Fil, this is just what I needed today for my birthday. Hope you are enjoying Father’s Day with your Dad. 🎉🎉 Ever done an analysis video 🧐 on the Irish Tenors? Would love to hear what you have to say about three voices…. Or if you prefer the Three Tenors?

That was a great collaboration and performance by both! I really enjoyed this analysis including your descriptive examples of vibrato and Eric Clapton's guitar solo. Looking forward to part 2.

I have enjoyed this collaboration since I found it a while back. In the other video, Clapton is accused of overplaying by many. I don't know what that means. I just know it's one of my favorite Clapton solos. Just incredible. Can't wait to see what you say about his playing in part 2.

Luciano singing in English! Love it. What a collab!!

You did it again 😍

Good on Clapton here. He’s vocal is great. Love it!

Cool video. For me, Clapton's voice is smoother, more mellow where Pavarotti's is more intense with more volume. There have been so many great recordings with rock bands backed by choirs and symphony orchestras. How can you beat that?

This is the best of two different musical worlds so good! Suggestion two other amazing duet songs by Pavarotti: Tom Jones & Luciano Pavarotti - Delilah. Luciano Pavarotti & Eurythmics - There Must Be An Angel Playing With My Heart. Thanks Fil for an interesting analysis about two great musicians.

just saw a documentary on Patti Boyd and will probably will forever have a hard time now liking Eric Clapton. But I love hearing Pavarotti, and especially like him appreciating popular music.

Just great! Thanks. They are both fantastic performers.

This was excellent Fil! I've seen this before, and it's awesome. Seeing Paverotti made me think again about my late Mom. She loved him, & was in the background when I was growing up. She loved Bocelli as well, & I agree with her on his great voice. Last Friday was my birthday, & my late moms birthday would be June 26th. I'm not sure about your timing, but if you were able to check out Il Divo performing Nights in White Satin soonish here, I could honor my incredible Mom as well as Carlos Marin once again. Thanks for all you share with us here!!

Amazing 😍

Wow! That truly is an interesting match-up. Who would have thought? Sounds good though!

ENCORE!

IF THAT WASN'T A TREAT! NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS DID I EVER EXPECT TO HEAR PAVARORATTI SING A "ROCK N ROLL" SONG! HE HAD AN AMAZING VOICE AND VOCAL RANGE. I DO HAVE TO SAY, AS WONDERFUL AND FANTASTIC AS HE WAS, ERIC CLAPTON HAS A MORE ROCK N ROLL VOICE, BUT HE KNOWS HOW TO HARMONIZE WITH THE SONGS. PAVARORATTI HAS BEEN A SUPER STAR FOR SO LONG I AM NOT SURE IF HE KNOWS HOW TO HARMONIZE WITH AN EQUAL MALE VOCALIST. ERIC GRACIOUSLY ALLOWED PAVARORATTI TO BE THE KING SO TO SPEAK. AT LEAST THAT WAS THE WAY I INTERPRETED THE STAGE PRESENCE. IT WAS REALLY A PHENOMENAL PERFORMANCE AND NOT ONE TO MISS IF GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY. I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO BEEN A SPECTATOR AND I'M NOT A NUMBER ONE FAN OF EITHER, BUT WHAT A SHOW! HERE COMES THE COLOR COMMENTATOR IN ME AGAIN. PAVARORATTI, NOT A MAN TO WASTE A GREAT MEAL OR BITS OF IT OR DRINK, HAPPENED TO BE DINING WITH PRINCESS DIANA. HE WAS SEATED NEXT TO HER. THEY WERE ENJOYING EACH OTHER'S CONVERSATION WHEN HE NOTED SHE LEFT TWO SHRIMP ON HER PLATE THAT SHE HADN'T TOUCHED IN A WHILE. HE PROCEEDED TO ASK HER, "ARE YOU GOING TO EAT THOSE?" SHE SAID, "NO." SO, HE SO BOLDLY ASKED HER, "WELL... "SINCE YOU ARE FINISHED AND AREN'T GOING TO EAT THEM, WOULD YOU MIND IF I HAD THEM, THEY ARE DELICIOUS AND I HATE WASTE. SHE DIDN'T MIND OR SAID SHE DIDN'T MIND. "HE ATE THEM! 😂❤😂😅😊❤! ISN'T THAT FUNNY?!!!

Sorry, typo.. I meant, "ICONS", of course.

if you look luciano pavarotti on you tube he also sings with james brown, lionel richie, elton john, sting and andrea bocelli, beautiful.

Brilliant stuff. Eric's guitar playing always gets me. Just beautiful. How about you analyse Sam cooke singing Tennesee Waltz live at the Copa in 1964? I'm sure you'll agree it's an amazing live vocal performance. Just a few months before he was shot dead. P.s There is no footage of his concert at the Copa but that doesn't matter. He did a version on a T.V show I think in 1963 but its not half as good as the Copa one. You'll see what I mean. The band and everything. It's sublime.

I would rather spend my minutes with Eric and Layla. My life is short now, so i have to be picky about who I spend my music time on. But I will wait for Part 2 because you are doing it, Fil thanks for all your work. 🙏🏻 its a beautiful song.

Hi fil charlena here from caldwell, Idaho in the USA . I liked the show today. When was this review done?. I would not have listened to it if you hadn't done this. You always talking about the most interesting performer's. I did not know that Raquel Welch could sing. I hope that you and your family had a great Father's Day. And that the weather was great also for your BBQ .

Please do a video on Ray Gomez - West Side Boogie, it is one of the most underrated fast paced fusion blues tracks ever recorded!

Wow!

I think Eric may be one of the most underrated singers ever.

Pavarotti collaborated with Zucchero. They did a new version of Va Pensiero, or Thee Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves.

cool 👍👍✌🤘

So good. I love this Version. Eric Clapton, what a musican . 👏💯👍. Pavarotti 👏

Impressive
