I've said before that the day he leaves this earth they might as well take me too. I just love knowing I live on the same planet as Eric Clapton. No other guitar player has ever had such an impact on me as him. What a legend.
His compassion extends to ordinary people subsidising rich people in an idyllic far away heaven . I love Eric's music but Crossroads needs to be put in perspective, it's a clinic for wealthy people.
@@jimbanda Actually your wrong. Read about Crossroads, before exercising your useless drivel. Also, who cares. You sound whiny about Rich people/institutions. If that was the case for Crossroads. booboo hoo. Rich people pay to do rich things. Tough lesson about life you have to swallow.
Total respect for EC, He's been there, Done that, Done stuff he knows he shouldn't. Had tragic moments in his life & STILL is the master, Long live the King.
You are a beacon of light for love, hope, and recovery, and a generous soul with your gifts, as you heal many. Personally, I’ve been able to heal through your music, 12 steps and being a member of ACOA for many years. Your gift will last into the future! Thank you EC, stay blessed 🙏💫
I've been a fan of Eric Clapton since the early 70's. I was a little too young in the 60's to appreciate his awesome talent. I still listen to Slowhand and other albums. He's one of my music heroes. It's sad that so many of my other favorites have passed away. I've been to Antigua and I'm familiar with his work there. Thank you Eric for your talent and your caring heart.
I, too, have been in recovery for over 8yrs, and I am so grateful EC has spoken out about substance abuse as well as putting his $ where his mouth is. Along with his life of being the best in his business, this will also be a large part of his stellar legacy. Love you, Bro! Keep sending the message that there's life after addiction.
I first heard Eric when I was fifteen, going thru a tough time having just lost my Dad. I remember exactly where I was the first time I heard BBB. It struck me in a way I still can't describe. Eric and the blues have been with me on my journey ever since. Looking forward to this years festival!
That festival is why Eric is still here, still vital, still playing like the monster player legend he’s always been, and still inspiring millions of players and music listeners the world over. God bless you Eric!
May God bless you Eric. You are a true beam of light in a dark world sometimes. Your music and your goal to help people in pain is extraordinary. Thank you and keep up the great work 🎸
You're a wonderful human being, Mr. Clapton. Thank you for bringing back the Festval. Is it too late to persuade Bobby Whitlock to play one song with your band?
Eric, it's wonderful to see and hear your music, beautiful guitar playing, listening to playing, many highly qualified musicians... I love listening to guitar music, blues, which is accompanied by guitars more loudly... Thank you for your music and beautiful songs, Eric ..
Those of us who grew up in the 60’s and 70’s who enjoyed the music of the day were blessed to have had Eric Clapton entertain us from then til now , always iconic. But he is indeed a wonderful human being. So humble, so sincere, so fantastic! God bless Eric.
Love it. Wheels of Fire was the second record album I bought when I was a teen way back when. I'm 70 in two days. Think I'll listen to me some Cream for me B-Day.
Eric Clapton is one of my favorite guitar players. What a great soul. I remember in the late 60s with the wheels of fire album…I must’ve ruined three or four vinyl albums trying to figure out the guitar part to CrossRoads by ear. Love that guy!
He speaks as eloquently as he plays. I could listen to him play and talk for hours. One of a small band of musicians who have stayed to course. Thanks for everything Eric. 🎸
He comes from an era where the British education system was one of the best in the world. It is only a fraction of what it once was, yielding higher illiteracy rates than the USA now.
Eric Clapton your a global super star, loved your music for years and now my 15yr old son @nickev29 is drumming to many of your tracks and it’s great as I get to relive some of my favourite Clapton tracks. Your work is timeless and your skill amazing.
I would truly love to see Stephen Stills get together with Eric again and see where the music takes them. Bringing Carlos into the mix would be incredible 🙏
If you want to learn blues based rock guitar, the most important album to own is Disraeli Gears - it's rock guitar perfection. Perfectly crafted guitar solos, relatively simple chord progressions, but genius level playing on every instrument. Thank You Eric!
THANK You Mr. Clapton for all. Your music walk with me for decades, like a soundtrack: joy, depth, feelings, light, pleasure, sadness, and all the emotions. And many times , some of your Masterpieces and live performances (as some recorded rehearsals too) brings me near to The Highest Presence, Our Lord. THANKS GOD FOR YOU & YOUR MUSIC. BEST REGARDS FROM BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA.
Love to see the Legendary Player’s at the C.R. festival while they’re still playing on this Earth. Years Pass and Tears fall like rain. God Bless Clapton’ he has done much to help humanity ❤️ I got to go to Clarksdale’ MS in May this year. Beale Street Memphis too. Saw Little Jimmy Reed’ on Beale street. He’s 82 and still playing. Most authentic Blues I have witnessed live in person 🇺🇸
I was born about the same time as John Lennon. I lived the 60"s in Greenwich Village. I was quite Counterculture. I am grateful I was able to live in that era. What is missing from most descriptions of that time was the sense of exploring. And of community and sharing. And our music. Ian Tyson said of those early days "There were no rules. We made it up as we went along." When I get nostalgic for those times I watch Blind Faith's free Hyde Park Concert. Eric Clapton and Crossroads are the finest symbol of those times.
I know there are the DVD's released of the festivals but I always wanted to see more stuff on the backstage action, rehearsals, etc. That would make a great documentary at this point.
Wonderful that Eric is still going strong and trying to help others. Had the fantastic opportunity of seeing Eric with Jeff play in Toronto a few years back. What a great memory.
Have played now for 44 years and EC has always and still is my inspiration to play and has shaped my playing and sound throughout, a true living guitar legend, thanks for all your do. I live and breathe playing the blues at 52 it and it will to I can play no more.
Thank you Eric for all you have done my friend. I saw you many years ago, in Arlington Heights IL, at the Cellar. Of course you (and I ) were much younger then. Your wisdom comes across Eric....its just who you are....
So BEAUTIFUL! Love & Blessing ALL!💜🙏😇 ROCK ON ERIC, SOULTRIBE! 🌈⭐️🌈☀️🌈☀️🌈☀️🌈 Clear & SOBER is the way to allow the "MAGIC" to happen PURE N SIMPLE SRRENDER So Grateful. 🙏🌈🌎💞🕊☀️🎶🌻🎸☮️⭐️💚😇💞🐬
My friend Jon Sutherland interviewed you and you gave him a copy of your book I was @the fork unsure in sobriety your book so helpful gaining back my life swag 16yrs sober still playing ducks in a row living. Infinite Love appreciation Mr Clapton. Lance.
I’m wish I could be there for this one… I missed the last one very near in Dallas not all that long ago…. Those who are able to go, feel joyful, appreciative, and knowing that you may be helping a need soul…
Congratulations for being sober for 35 years. I think that Eric is playing as well as he's ever played. He may not have the fire of the Bluesbreakers, Cream or Derek and the Dominos, but he is just as intense, just maybe not as flashy. The Robert Johnson and JJ Cale albums are beautiful. I just finished his autobiography and I think he is no longer a tortured artist. He seems happy and focused on what's important, i.e. family and guitar. I have always loved him as a musician. He has inspired me from the first time I picked up a guitar.
I have so much love and respect for you Mr. Clapton. I started listening to you in my teens. You've been with me in good times and dark but a constant you remain after 50 years. I'm Thankful. Be blessed as you help others.
Yes. Some would even say it's a miracle that he made it through all the trials and tribulations inherent in the rock world. So happy he came out relatively unscathed. What a role model he has become. Bless you Eric. ❤️
@@jorgemor388 Holaa!! Hablamos de la Excelencia... Jimi,provocador, irreverente, insolito y hasta salvaje... Eric, versatil,melodioso, profundo y tambien intenso... TALENTO QUE NO PARECE SER DE ESTE MUNDO...
nice to see Eric alive and well, who would have thought he would survive! and if he can do it, i am only about 5 years behind him, if he could kick the addictions anyone could me included I would think, and Eric as a responsible senior citizen, thats survival

@ericpatrikclappton Lived in Argentina for a while. Now in a little ranching town in Mexico. I’m your devote follower since I can remember Eric. Take care please.
Hi Mr Clapton, I have the greatest respect for you, and my wish is going to come true. I'm finally going to see you in concert in Lyon in May 2024. And I have a lot of admiration for you, despite everything you've been through, you're still giving it your all. You are an example to follow.... Musically yours from Hérault. Nathalie / Neferti blues.
Eric i donate to Crossroads Antigua and I am coming to the concert my first front row. I donated 2K because I didn't think I could come when I retire I would love to volunteer to help pay it forward. You Forever Fan
@Eric-yn8eg hi Eric coming to Pittsburgh front row Crossroads front row ang I did donate 2 K to Antigua you can call and ask i spent way more money than I planned but you only live once and your my favorite
@Eric-yn8eg i thank you for being part of the reason I am still here God and your music I have lived a similar life although not famously. I love you pay it forward and that is all I am trying to do.
It is good to have Eric Clapton in the world.

A racist and bigot !
One of the few things right with it !
Here here!!
He's racist and should be worried about his fucced up British teeth
What a man and great human, thanks for your music and compassion

Thankyou Mr Eric Clapton. Im 9 years sober and your music has got me through some dark moments. God bless you my brother in recovery
He is a good man as well as a brilliant guitarist. He does a lot for people that no one knows about ❤❤
Stills, Santana and Clapton WOW what a group of talented guitarists. Love them all. Stay healthy Eric, we need you here with us.

This is a great man who truly understands addiction and doing everything he can to help others recover. Genius musician and gift to humanity.
The festival he runs has some formidable talent for sure looking fwd to the next version ..thanks mr Clapton😊

Much respect to you sir. You spoke your mind when people were terrified to say anything at all. I will always be a fan.
If you are referring to his anti-vax, it was garbage.
He's THE coolest EVER! WHAT a beautiful heart!
That festival is why Eric is still here, still vital, still playing like the monster player legend he’s always been, and still inspiring millions of players and music listeners the world over. God bless you Eric!
May God bless you Eric. You are a true beam of light in a dark world sometimes. Your music and your goal to help people in pain is extraordinary. Thank you and keep up the great work 🎸

I would love to hear Eric and Steve Stills jam together again! Eric is da man!
Yep..."Go Back Home" would be amazing

Eric you are The BEST ❤
I was born about the same time as John Lennon. I lived the 60"s in Greenwich Village. I was quite Counterculture. I am grateful I was able to live in that era.

As ardent fans, we got to make this a grand success! Dear Eric, we ❤ you!

I hope cross roads comes back it’s the best music event in the world,unfortunately there is not enough music events in the world.
God bless you, ERIC.
He played a huge part in my recovery. Sober almost 18 years now and have a life second to none. Playing guitar without being drunk is so much better.
Have played now for 44 years and EC has always and still is my inspiration to play and has shaped my playing and sound throughout, a true living guitar legend, thanks for all your do. I live and breathe playing the blues at 52 it and it will to I can play no more.
I respect Mr. Clapton for challenging authority.
Ciao Eric, sei un grande, sempre e per sempre. The Best my Idol 🎸❤️🇮🇹
Still playing,still able to rock the world. The greatest of all time and in my lifetime,how lucky am I!
And you go all the way back to high school in the 60s filling the car from an 8 track player. Thanks Eric for everything.
He's just all class.
I have so much respect for Eric Clapton. He is a true survivor who has given back so much.
