For Clapton it was just another day at the office- I can only imagine what was going on in Bonamassa’s head as he was finally getting to share the stage with his idol!
Eric was looking at Joe during the trade-off...and smiling! Yeaa..Ok! two greats just having so much fun and in the "moment"! Doesn't get any better than this!
It’s actually really fucking impressive for two guitarists to improvise a blues “guitar-off” like those two did toward the end of the song and have it sound that good/natural. It’s a testament to both of their talent.
I must have been freeze dried until three days ago. Life-long Clapton fanatic and just discovered Bonamassa. WOW!!!! I'm hooked! Coolest story behind this performance and loved it!
One of the best performances ever , Was big moment for Joe , like he said , its all over his face and body language , Clapton having fun as well , simply awesome

If you live under a rock ...maybe. But TBH I am tired of seeing these stupid useless comments "x singer/actor/movie is underrated" ..especially when they are NOT. You don't have to comment, you know ? Or at least don't say stupid things.
Seeing Eric Clapton so thoroughly enjoying this with a big smile is fantastic. He obviously enjoyed playing with Bonamassa. That must be a helluva experience for Joe. I’d be thrilled to trade licks with Clapton. And with Joe for that matter.
The connection when you click as a musician is a weird bond that goes beyond anything physical or emotional and really the mind becomes like a hive. What a great example of this 😊👍
One of my favorite performances of these two greats. I see can how much they enjoy, love and respect each other. Both guitar solos were perfectly so beautiful. We are so blessed we still have Eric Clapton with us. And thank you so very much Joe Bonamassa for sharing your great talent with us to enjoy! Take care guys, we love you. 🙏❤️🙏
If it wasn't for Clapton, allot of musicians would probably play differently or not even tried. These 2 mixed with Stevie Ray would have been amazing !!
Ok......now.....Imagine having the opportunity to play on the same stage with your music idol. What an honor. Now, imagine having the opportunity to play on the same stage with your idol and KILLING IT! That's Joe Bonamassa, folks.
@Kurt My friend the difference exists.... The tone of Eric Clapton's guitar is a brand that is possibile to recognize after 3 notes. The difference between a Legend and another good guitarist as many others (the same differenze between the first and the second or the third ... You remember who win the gold medal or the fourth arrived?).
@Kurt You want perfection & tecnique? Listen Steve Vai or another like this ... I know an incredibile number of great guitar players but they came after E.C. ... They didn't invented nothing (a special guitar tone, legendary songs, etc...) ... Don't forget that in late sixties in the London's walls somebody wrote:"Eric Clapton is God" ... Somebody did the same for the 3 guys is Austin?
@Kurt It seems that you refuse to understand that the world is full of people able to sound other's music lick by lick but it's a copy from the original and, most of the times, without personality. Probably to achieve guitar's culture needs to be old ... but not obsolete (cit. Terminator movie).
@Kurt First of All my name is not Jack but Andrea and I come from a country with century of story not coming from the Pilgrim Fathers arrival. If you have problems to understand this there are 2 options: 1) In your country you have difficulties with the concept of good education. 2) If you paid a lot of money in a private school for your musical education and now you're a perfect unknown musician, listen, chance job ... Music is not your attitude!! Please stop to waste my time ... I have better things to do than to discuss about music with a Texas ranger!!
What a BLAST! What a great GREAT song together for these guys to see what the other's lead was ...and masterful answers all around! Horns and drums and bass...all TOP NOTCH! Thank you whoever made this video! The audio is superb!
You know you made it when you turn around and see that you are standing next to Eric Clapton on stage! You made it Joe and you definitely earn that privilege. 👏👏👏
Commander Clapton has, IMHO, the perfect and greatest vibrato technique 👌 of all time... Damn if I couldn't find a way to pull the note both up and down with only a light anchor on the neck. Oh well, my sound is my sound, and pulling the notes mainly down has proven to be comfortable and effective... Okay, I'm a stickler, but I love to just watch techniques ... (like the time I scored 5th row seats to see the master, Itzhak Perlman, not knowing classical performances people sit in the back... so there i was, all alone, up close and personal, probably looking like a little kid.) Anyways, I digress..
Eric : And back to what I was doing, this stuff brings tears to my eyes , it’s emotionally to me for some stupid reason . Seen Eric back in the 80s 2 hr show 3 encores
5:10 the video director switches to a moving camera shot behind the bandstand, while all the musical action is happening out front between the guitarists, trading licks. Apparently the video director didn't know that the camera should always be on the musical focus of a lead singer or lead instrumentalists when soloing.
saw them separately when both were in their 20s Clap Clap Clap smother with the Cream. Bon Bons one of the greatest of his age group. Blues don't discriminate but honestly these boys never slept in the swamp or worked all day pulling and stuffn an 11 foot cotton sack. That's in the blood not the wallet. these boys got the heart the rest is God's blessings. we're blessed to hear them together
YYYEESSSS he is the best!!!! Eric Clapton, SLOW HAND!!! my husband is past away, he was an gitar player, and the studio cals him SLOW HAND, thats was his biggeds compliment ever also his EDISON!!!! ❤❤LOVE EN MIS HIM
Buongiorno Mario. Non esageriamo ... Il mondo é pieno di bravi chitarristi come lui, da qui a scrivere "J.B. is God" ne deve passare di acqua sotto i ponti.

It was a nice gesture for #EricClapton to let #JoeBonamassa walk onto the stage at Royal Albert Hall , a stage that Mr Clapton, Commander of the British Empire. has owned for around a half century, when he first set foot upon it, the days when fans were spray painting "CLAPTON IS GOD " on the walls of London's back streets... Joe definitely picked the best of the best for his early influences. Clapton, Page. Beck... the men who etched something in a whole generation of guitar players... Ah, think I'll go plug in and crank it out
Twelve year old Joe Bonamassa toured with and played with BB King. He's no slouch. Clapton may have done it longer. He has a defined blues pedigree. But Joe can trade punches with anyone.
"Whenever you play your guitar, play it as if it's the last time. " -Eric Clapton
Eric Clapton is the definition of a legend.
The best of the best.
You can see Joe’s band standing, clapping, loving, understanding the experience of playing with EC. Nobody lives forever.
For Clapton it was just another day at the office- I can only imagine what was going on in Bonamassa’s head as he was finally getting to share the stage with his idol!
That’s the power of a Strat directly into a Tweed Twin!
@@cardbored_ Yep. Only place to find THAT tone.
Yes, I wish he'd go back to the Les Paul sometimes!
Don't forget that Bonamassa played with B.B. King and John Lee Hooker when he was 13.
i met joe at a guitar clinic and actually asked him that. he said it blew his mind
I'd probably have frozen up. I've been playing for 50 years and I can't even imagine it. Joe is one of the best and he handled up!
Clapton's voice is sooo good.
Yeah Eric voice it's better like a old wine jajaja
Always. He's as good a singer as he is a guitar player. Incredible pipes with Derek. Legendary with Bobby Whitlock.
Eric was looking at Joe during the trade-off...and smiling! Yeaa..Ok! two greats just having so much fun and in the "moment"! Doesn't get any better than this!
Eric always loves playing with another guitarist.
I think this is the best rendition I've heard of this song. Got to love the way the speak to each other with their fingers 5min in.
you can see that EC really enjoyed this performance with Joe
what an honor to serve as a worthy guest in eric clapton’s house.
Yeah you right and a couple years Joe released Royal te ajjaja
The frantic guitar lick trade-off at the final section of the song gave me goosebumps, legendary performance!
Thanks for watching man take care!👍🎸🇦🇷🌍

You're right Charles thanks for watching!!
This is cool after hearing Joe’s story behind this performance.
That is why I'm here too.
Wow, an amazing performance by both of them, when 1+1 equals more than 2.

Clapton is massively underrated as a singer.

Eric is the blues. Joe is the fabulous. They're beautiful together.
I love this clip. When they start trading licks, they look like they're having a ball just jamming together.

Guitar legends just keep paying it forward. Like the ones before Clapton to his generation. One day Joe will do the same. ❤
Could listen to this all night long
Are you watching the entire DVD? Go ahead man
Just SUPERB!
Clapton really enjoyed that !
You could see it in his face as they were trading off solos. Absolute Gold!
Incredible
Two masters of the art havin’ fun - great to watch, thanks for posting.
You're welcome my friend, good wishes from Argentina 🇦🇷🎸👍
Yes, Eric Clapton is a legend. Simply the best guitarist on the planet. Love this performance!!!!💖💖💖
This is a wholesome video of someone playing with their guitar idol wow
2021 ! How have I never heard this before ??? What a jam !!

A les Paul and a strat at there best , bloody brilliantly played
Masterpiece !
Thats meat of potatoes of the blues, right there.
Yup, what a groove!
Joe Bonamassa is a Good guitarist but when Eric Clapton enter into the solo with his Fender's tune is another level ... Seems the roar of a lion !!

At 03:08 Master Clapton steps up to he plate and lets everyone know he is still on top - with a scream from his guitar that says it all
