I'm just so grateful Eric,Bobby,Jools, and this great band decided to play this song on the Jools Holland Show.. It was not planned , just a last mintue decission. Bobby and I wrote "Southern Gentleman" at my home in Mt. Juliet,Tn in the mid eighties and never thought of it as a record. We were wrong once again. Thanks BW. Jimmy Pasquale
When Eric learned that Bobby had sold his royalty rights to the Layla album, he instructed his lawyers to purchase them, and then handed them back to Bobby. 🎸
@ERIC F Pretty much. Guy doesn't even mention it in his autobiography. Whitlock and EC didn't meet for about 30 years till this performance and that's when EC found out.
I Can;t find this anywhere, where did you get this from? They had no contact for almost 30 yrs and Clapton or Whitlock didn't own the rights as far as I'm aware.
Absolutely awesome performance from Bobby, Eric, Jools Holland and his band! Clapton was clearly having a good time - with Whitlock handling the vocals he just had a blast ...
Love Bobby Whitlock - great singer, solid musician, co-writer of some damn good tunes! Why hasn't Clapton collaborated with him in the studio and beyond in the 2000s?
@@pabloperez4063 yeah but look at the results. Time for something great again. Bobby is one of a kind and helped bring something out of Eric that hasn’t been topped
Bobby's vocals are so strong and drive this song. It may be too late but yeah instead of Slowhand turns 70 Eric maybe should get with Bobby and do something and not squander precious time. I mean JJ Cale is gone and there is no time like the present to at least do something together.
+Bobby McMinn Yeah I know whatcha mean. There's something about Bobby's voice that I just love and he hasn't lost it. I just love seein them together it's just too cool.
@B McMinn - they should do it!! Bobby’s voice is still very strong. His vocals alongside Eric’s in the Dominos is a third instrument - those two voices together are like brothers’.
Brilliant arrangement? Yes! Perfect Execution? Almost! 'Over-produced' ? What? They hadn't played together for nearly thirty years and didn't even recognise each other when they walked into the studio. They rehearsed the song just once! This is what you get from consummate musicians. It is a great performance from two musicians who seem to brought out the best in each other.
He said seeing the peace that Eric had in sobriety at this performance is what made him sure that he had to get off the pills. He talks about it on his channel
3:19... EC going wild! Really getting into it on a song that's not his and he's not singing on. A true musician who's enjoying the groove and playing with other good musicians.
Wish they would tour together - take derek trucks and doyle bramhall along and play the Layla album and a bunch of Clapton's material right after Delaney and Bonnie. Lot's of great music. Whitlock wrote a lot of the music from the Layla album.
@@thomasminarchickjr.7355 We only have one live video with Derek and Dominos from back in the day, and that's just one song from the album. Would love to get Eric and Bobby to perform those songs in a proper concert, as recorded, before they get too old or one passes.
This is the first time I've seen this video. Great music. Got to know Bobby when he moved to my town a few years after this was filmed. He subsequently 'moved on'. But what an interesting guy. And what a terrific musician!
Just heard Bobby and CoCo in Austin last week and I was amazed at how he sings and the raw feeling he conveys. It would be a great tour if EC would agree but, in my opinion, Bobby was the guy Eric wanted to sing like, and Bobby shared in many of those early experiences that formed the Clapton we know today. Maybe that's too much for EC.

Missed this one ...bloody wonderful rock's like a bastard .Eric needs to reform D& The Dominoes just one more time...Oh how cool would that be and as footnote the rest of the band are from Jool's R&B Orchestra.
Eric has recently toured with Steve Winwood. A similar tour with Whitlock would pack the houses, but it hasnt happened and time is moving on.... Maybe there is something very personal from the past that prevents it. I dont think that either of them has since produced anything with the magic of D&D.

Thanks for this song Jimmy !! Jimmy from NY
Good tune Jimmy. They did it proud didn't they?!
@@roszela1 Yes they did Jimmy !!

God how I wish they would tour or record together again....

Whitlock and EC didn't meet for about 30 years till this performance and that's when EC found out.
I just got confirmation of this on FB Msgr from the man himself (Bobby) that it is true. Eric Clapton has a good heart. Cool story!
Two gentlemen,
@@malcolmpalm True! It is also written in Bobby's autobiography.
I Can;t find this anywhere, where did you get this from? They had no contact for almost 30 yrs and Clapton or Whitlock didn't own the rights as far as I'm aware.
Bobby Whitlock is a much overlooked Worldwide musical treasure!
Absolutely awesome performance from Bobby, Eric, Jools Holland and his band! Clapton was clearly having a good time - with Whitlock handling the vocals he just had a blast ...
more credit needs to go to bobby whitlock. he has paid his due's.
Damn bobby! BW has hours of interviews on YTube telling his rock and roll stories.
oh yeah I'm a proud subscriber lots of fun him and Coco
Eric has not reconnected with Bobby enough over the years! WE NEED MORE DOMINO'S!
Love Bobby Whitlock - great singer, solid musician, co-writer of some damn good tunes! Why hasn't Clapton collaborated with him in the studio and beyond in the 2000s?
Because he has Chris Stantion, Gary Broker, Paul Carrack all ThE time...Steve Winwood......etc
@@pabloperez4063 yeah but look at the results. Time for something great again. Bobby is one of a kind and helped bring something out of Eric that hasn’t been topped
I always loved Bobby's voice. It's probably why the Layla album is my favorite Eric Clapton project.

This is what you get from consummate musicians. It is a great performance from two musicians who seem to brought out the best in each other.
It seems to me that Clapton’s best playing post Cream was when he plays with Bobby Whitlock..
just great chemistry I guess
Bobby was in a right mess when this was recorded but you wouldn't know it (I didn't until I heard him talk about it). Brilliant performance!
He said seeing the peace that Eric had in sobriety at this performance is what made him sure that he had to get off the pills. He talks about it on his channel
Yes, just read his autobiography ... amazing history
Gilson Lavis on drums deserves respect on this great song.
Can't believe I'm seeing this for the first time now! LOVE IT!
Appreciated, Stay safe.
Bobby Whitlock has always ROCKED!
3:19... EC going wild! Really getting into it on a song that's not his and he's not singing on. A true musician who's enjoying the groove and playing with other good musicians.
Although I never saw, believe Bobby when he says Derek and the Dominos Live were the best band ever.
Wish they would tour together - take derek trucks and doyle bramhall along and play the Layla album and a bunch of Clapton's material right after Delaney and Bonnie. Lot's of great music. Whitlock wrote a lot of the music from the Layla album.
He wrote a lot of the words too
Sure, you'd have to get a new rhythm section- but c'mon guys! Do a Derek & The Dominos tour! It would be great.
whitlock and clapton.... honestly, rock doesn't get better than this.... wish they'd come together again. just look at eric rock to bobby.
And Bobby is in much better shape now. He would be fantastic on tour with Eric in 2022!

He is credited with writing half the songs. The story goes that in fact he wrote more than that...

Your song is giving pleasure to a lot of people. Thanks.
This is an amazingly special performance I keep returning to. Loving in 2019 👍🍺
This is what the Pros do when they blow the ending.
if you dont tap your feel to this, you have no soul
This is an utterly phenomenal performance that deserves further recognition. Loving it massively in 2019! 🎸 🎹 “Alright Eric” around 1:45 🙏
Missed this one ...bloody wonderful rock's like a bastard .Eric needs to reform D& The Dominoes just one more time...Oh how cool would that be and as footnote the rest of the band are from Jool's R&B Orchestra.
This song has a really good groove.
Damn Eric! Give BW call for crossroads 🎸🔥💯
A kind soul named Gerald just pointed me to this video. I've never seen it before, and I'm lovin it.
the improvisation towards the end is imense!
OMG! E. C. is the absolute definitive guitar monster!❤
I remember this on the telly, got to love the Jools Holland show........
Me too......that’s why I revisit this + play it xxxxx times because it deserves it
Oh, man; this is the kind of evening you don't want to miss. But, I did...what a concert!
Thanks, neveratime!!!
