Eric playing on New Years eve. Everybody there drinking & Eric , sober as a judge ! I give Eric a lot of credit ! 30 + years clean & sober. Congrads to you Eric !!
This is the dumbest comment I've ever read.... Elvis, jerry lee, chuck, bo diddly, muddy waters were all mainstream artists!!!! Blues and rock and roll were the biggest thing !!! How would it have been forgotten!! Damn you're stupid
@@x-rayvision3802 Please let us not forget Stevie Ray Vaughn... in my opinion the most virtuosic electric blues player to grace our planet? Ah... BB King, Albert King, Freddie King? I agree such a dumb, uneducated comment. The Brits have some amazing blues players... but these guys were in awe of guys like Howlin Wolf, T-Bone, BB, and Muddy Waters.
Yes, however, he never did use any pedals to boost his sound when playing live. This particular strat seems to do without the boost circuit EC normally uses to crank things up, so the sound stays pretty clean even with the volume full on!

I agree with Jools, Eric is my favourite guitarist. Great band and excellent piano playing from Jools. Thanks , I will be returning to this again I am sure.
Little bit harsh with Mark Flanagan standing there, who has only loyally supported Jools through thick and thin, and who played flawless rhythm guitar through the ensuing number... maybe 'My favourite GUEST guitarist....'?
This video also shows just what a naturally GREAT musician is Jools; people forget that;s what he really does. His side gig as a kindly, nerdy, squarish/oddball TV presenter/host is only just that: a side gig. He's a great musician.
Thanks for sharing The first time ever we saw Eric Clapton live @ Hyde Park 2018, and quality time / weekend in Londen with my 2 children. After more than a week this event it still makes a big impression, Can you believe it. have waited for this event for 18 years. The waiting was well worth it.
THIS WAS BY FAR THE VERY BEST RENDITION OF LITTLE QUEEN OF SPADES. ERIC CLAPTON NEVER FAILS TO PROVIDE A STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE NOT PARALLELED, PERFECTIONISM, AND IT WAS AN AWESOME SIGHT TOOO BEHOLD. ONE COULD SEE HE WAS MAKIN LOVE TO THE GUITAR HIGHER OHHH YEHUDA. NOW, EVERYONE SHOULD UNDERSTAND WHY ERIC CLAPTON IS THE GUITARS GOD. OK SLDC ERIC WHO DROVE YOU HOME TONITE, WHO'S GONNA BE THERE IF YOU FALL ASLEEP IN MY........ layla lay in my big brass bed. OK sldc ERIC
"Sessions for Robert J." and "Me and Mr. Johnson" are by far my favorite Clapton's albums, and possibly most favorite blues recordings of all times. And I *DO* love some other of his albums very much ("From the Cradle", "Another Ticket", the two J. J. Cale albums...).
Javi G, thanks for mentioning Derek & Dominos, never heard of them before. Typical early Clapton, I guess (complete with poor recording quality). I never realized Layla is such an old song!
Clapton has nothing more to prove.. I don't care if he belts out those 10 minute solo which are more or less the same...He is still God! and he can never go wrong!
It's always been about El Clappo's extraordinary style, tone and touch to me, how he plays not what he plays. But that is true of most of the great Blues players eg BB King.

Absolutely and totally agree .. Clapton is god .. This is clapton at his best .. He is getting better with age .. And he looks fantastic . Great to see him playing a tribute brownie again
@petticlone Thank you so much for defending my post. I really do appreciate it. And to streetender1878 - come on, man. We just really love guitars. No one's showing off. But, also, thanks for watching this video. It is really an amazing post, and I'm so grateful we get to see Clapton so intimately while playing such sincere and authentic blues straight through his Strat to the amp. It's a rare purity.
Because it looks like a"made-yesterday" guitar, the thing is all new and shiny, body and neck and has no wear at all, except for a few ("factory made") fretboard wear marks on the first few frets - which is typical from "light relic" Fender jobs. If those were real marks, you would see them all over the neck, since Clapton loves playing A and C minor pentatonic positions.
Maarten de Vries Probably just not enough volume on the amp - and since he isn't using his usual mid-boosted strat setup he doesn't have enough boost hitting the amp.
Eddie Cochran played milkcow blues live 1960 here in the uk. B B King once said he met Eddie in LA and he was the best white blues player around . So before all these bands appeared Eddie had done it already . Please check out Eddie liive Milcow blues . Love Ed and Eric . Lets face it without the Americans the UK didnt have anything . Look at the great guitarist and piano players from the states
@PindamonhaMAN I own a '56 myself, and the thin line is the bleed in-from the yellow nitro to the black nitro. It is actually a brown that appears red. On a superb finish, you get this wonderful bleed-in instead of an abrupt contrast. Also, it would be very unlikely that Clapton would play 56s and 57s for most of his life to play a 58 or an early 59 now, which is the only time frame in which a Strat with all of the other features, especially the maple v-neck, would be available in 3-tone.
@petticlone you can tell from a few slightly back-angled shots that it is not a fender custom shop guitar. If it is, then he had them intentionally omit the custom shop logos from the back of the headstock (doubtful). I can tell that the fingerboard radius is 7.25, as are the frets are vintage. The neck is only slightly worn, though the finish has attained that wonderful dulled texture. Active, low output pickups. 2-tone sunburst. A bit thicker soft V neck. 6 pivot bridge. Most likely a '56.
This was before the brownie tribute and I think after he sold the real one (there isn't enough wear on the neck anyway) it is probably a custom shop 57 or 56 reissue or it could be a genuine 50s strat that is in insanely good condition
In the brownie GC vid he did say when he was touring the states that he bought 4-5 at the time in multiple pawn shops it wouldn't be a surprise if he has a bunch of pre CBS strats lying around
Not brownie. But I'm sure he has a few vintage strats that don't see much time played live. I think he has some sort of arrangement with Fender.. In the U.S. live he uses signature strat with what ever amp they've made for him to promote...twin..grandmaster..etc. But in the UK its whatever he wants

Eric Clapton is a living legend. There won't be any other like him.end of story. 💜
End of story. Perfectly said
we are unbelievably lucky that he is still alive and kicking
claire amer ello,
Fantastic,
Heck yeah Claire, you’re sooooooo right.....
Love To See The Appreciation Of Clapton's Genius On The Faces Of The Other Musicians.....Priceless.
Without singers of a tiny island across the ocean called Great Britain the blues here in America would be forgotten already.
GB is big like Italy or Florida..not that tiny though ;)
Yep, we are known as GREAT Britain for a reason!!

@@mattgwardesq exactly brother
When Eric starts playing, people start listening
No pedals, just dimed the volume before his solo, a flick of the wrist just like the old days. Brilliant.
Yes, however, he never did use any pedals to boost his sound when playing live. This particular strat seems to do without the boost circuit EC normally uses to crank things up, so the sound stays pretty clean even with the volume full on!
@@petticlone is this not Brownie? I believe his vintage guitars left out the 'Clapton mod'
@@chrish8n No, it's not Brownie. I think somewhere in the comments here it is explained why it can't be that guitar
@@petticlone ah fair enough. Might actually be after he sold it
Lovely show thanks for posting❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love this song 🎶
Amazing how the music lives on. Robert would have never imagined how far his work would go.
Best guitar player and singer 🎸🎸Love him always 💖💖💖
never get tired of listening to ec. He's ace. hope he's getting better after illness. long live Eric. x
The rolls roys of the guitare❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
There are some real Blues-Masters at work. Fantastic. thank you for sharing with us.
Thank you. I still relish this performance and think it's one of Clapton's best around that time.
Gotta love that Hammond playing by Chris Holland. Amazing instrument played by a really good musician.

There are few people on this planet who deserve "legend" status..elvis,Lennon,McCartney,wonder,Dylan...and mr Eric Clapton..
Master class from start to finish
Jools Holland's casually introduces the fella and then produces some outstanding piano playing off the bat...ledge
Greylin91 class man

GfThe Pad
He's going to be a tough one to replace..... there's no one who could fill his shoes....he wrote the book ....
"Sessions for Robert J." and "Me and Mr. Johnson" are by far my favorite Clapton's albums, and possibly most favorite blues recordings of all times. And I *DO* love some other of his albums very much ("From the Cradle", "Another Ticket", the two J. J. Cale albums...).
I love from the Craddle, haven't got the chance yet to listen to the Johnson "tribute" recordings.
What do you think about Derek & Dominos?
Javi G, thanks for mentioning Derek & Dominos, never heard of them before. Typical early Clapton, I guess (complete with poor recording quality).
I never realized Layla is such an old song!
Try listening to him with Cream!! Even older!! or Blind Faith!
The fender strat was made for Clapton ......beautiful instrument....especially this colour....!!!!!
Some talent on that stage! Wow!
I am so glade I saw him hear in Jacksonville Fla.. I think the year was 1975. Both him and Carlos Santana!!!
Clapton has nothing more to prove.. I don't care if he belts out those 10 minute solo which are more or less the same...He is still God! and he can never go wrong!
Strings in A Little Queen Of Spades are great ! And organ solo is perfect too! And EC ofcourse.
HEAVEN on Earth!Long live EC!
damn people forget how good jools holland is on the piano! clapton shredding as usual :D
Long live Eric we will never see his like again.
I would LOVE to play with the Jools Holland Band. INCREDIBLE.
Beautiful tone, and the old touch is still there!
This is great!! EC is a God in my book.Love when Jools gets down, too...what a great find..thanks
There's a word for Clapton's playing and singing: FINESSE.
It's always been about El Clappo's extraordinary style, tone and touch to me, how he plays not what he plays. But that is true of most of the great Blues players eg BB King.
i liked everything even the organ solo !
Jool Holland is one Truly amazing Musician who always shows full respect towards his guests. Maybe next time have Malmsteen or Trower on your show .
awesome soundz - love the boogie woogie
Who knew---Jools can play! E.C. brings out the best in everybody.
Lots of people knew :-)
But yes, EC certainly made him rise above himself this time 'round!
Eric is back at doing what he does best !
when something is really good ...food...or a beautiful sight like a creek flowing in the sun....there it is ..you know it....that's him...he has it..
Great video... I am a huge fan of Jools Holland, always bringing the best of the best!!!

just bought this album today....wow
fantastic
Love Clapton ....!!!! A legend....!!!!
Forever is a long time! I remember the Yardbirds, they where white, but all there inspiration was BLACK. What has it got to do with colour?
That strat must be Eric's 1980s '57 reissue
Great!!! Clapton is the best!
Clapton meets Johnson - it dont get better people
very good,Eric,it,s 1 of the better.
is awesome.
So so cool! 😍
I do like Eric's singing,because he has a sexy voice and the guitar .......well hahahaha whoooo hoo baby!
The real story here is that Bluesbreaker combo back there! Cooooool!
I agree! There's another amp next to it- wonder if he was using them both simultaneously?
Maarten de Vries The other one looks like a tweed Deluxe - smaller than his usual tweed twin, perhaps to aid in breaking up at a lower volume.
Yes. However, EC's tone is pretty clean- not much breaking up to be heard... maybe the Fender was just a backup?
Maarten de Vries Probably just not enough volume on the amp - and since he isn't using his usual mid-boosted strat setup he doesn't have enough boost hitting the amp.
Eddie Cochran played milkcow blues live 1960 here in the uk. B B King once said he met Eddie in LA and he was the best white blues player around .

stop breaking down really reminds me of Blue suede shoes for some reason hahaha

Eric is the man!
Is he playing a brownie tribute or is this the real deal? Either way its really cool to see Clapton with a brownie-spec strat again
This was before the brownie tribute and I think after he sold the real one (there isn't enough wear on the neck anyway) it is probably a custom shop 57 or 56 reissue or it could be a genuine 50s strat that is in insanely good condition
And a well played one at that
theres no custom shop marker on the neck so its probably a real one.
Connor Selby That being said, if it's a real one it's later than Brownie as it's a three tone burst.
In the brownie GC vid he did say when he was touring the states that he bought 4-5 at the time in multiple pawn shops it wouldn't be a surprise if he has a bunch of pre CBS strats lying around
Yes !!!!!
what can one say........just bleedin fab
Ahhhhhhhh, back when Jools "saanded loike a propa landanar!" (Sounded like a proper Londoner)
every body should own all jools
I believe Eric and Jools go fly fishing together.
Looks like a regular 56 strat or custom shop reissue not his signature strat with boost.
looks like a brownie custom shop re issue i beleive he sold brownie along with blackie at the southerbes auction to raise money for crossroads
Not a Brownie. Nowhere near enough wear on the fingerboard, and no cigarette burn on the headstock.
Not brownie. But I'm sure he has a few vintage strats that don't see much time played live. I think he has some sort of arrangement with Fender.. In the U.S. live he uses signature strat with what ever amp they've made for him to promote...twin..grandmaster..etc. But in the UK its whatever he wants
It could be one of the ne journeyman line of strats they've brought out. I have both the sunburst and blonde
@@mathewdavies6472 it is not journeyman.... jouneyman has 22... this one 21.... I suppose it is vintage early 80, or custom shop
LOOOOOOL!
God sounds good - always.
Fantastico
An amazing performance by Jools and Eric .....
boogie woogie slang can't 'never stop Eric.
nuthin does
Never knew Jools could play like that
@MonsieurMadeleine i think this one is 3 tone burst. There is a orange stripe there before the yellow, thin... but there.
The Best band EC has ever been in!!
mark22160 clearly never heard of cream
Seen him 13 times...not enough.
