In February 2021 Eric Clapton’s live shows at The Royal Albert Hall were canceled due to the global pandemic. Determined to play, he brought his band together in the English countryside. In the absence of a live audience, he decided to record the performances. This release is the culmination of their sessions together at Cowdray House, West Sussex, England.
Please Stop The Time and Let Them Live Forever!
Hope so
Well..they will.
so be what you say!!!
they will - musically anyway! : o)
Perhaps we consider all the folks who won’t live on because fools like EC scare them away from vaccinations. Sorry to disrupt the fanboy reverie....
Wow.... man this recording is the perfect example of how tight a band can play. These guys have played together for so many years, they know perfectly how to fit into the ensemble and blend their style in harmony. It's a freaking dream team here, they're getting old in age for sure, but man, they can still deliver, big time! Awesome
Do you know the name of the Bass player?
He's been with Slowhand for over 30 years.
@@susielong115 the glorious Nathan East!!!
Gadd and Clapton are both 76 and as good as they’ve ever been.
Agreed! Killer rhythm section...not to mention one of the coolest piano playin' Blues Rockers, ever
Very Nicely Done.
@@daveebryan828 My guess is Chris Stainton on the keys.......
Eric's voice is still smooth and rich, and he still makes the guitar sing beautifully. His world class band mates play incredibly well together. I like that Eric and the band can bring easy, acoustic soul to a song we're used to hearing electric and loud. JJ Cale crafted great songs, and this is more proof of that. I'm grateful that Eric is releasing "The Lady In the Balcony". God bless Eric for continuing to perform with such heart, and his band mates as well.
Well said🐱i really think so too🙏
JJ Cale was something, his songs put clapton back on the map
@@brendantindall805 b.s. you got it ass backwards, Eric put JJ on the map, ya ever heard of Cream ? WTF did JJ have to do with cream
@@thegreatchain7112 After Cream and Blind Faith EC's vocals and guitar style without any doubt were strongly influenced by JJ and for sure helped him to get back on track after a long period of problems. He played JJ's song "After Midnight" on his first solo album, he got a smash hit with JJ's "Cocaine" on "Slowhand", he played JJ's songs over and over again live, he did an album with JJ ("The Road To Escondido"), played some concerts with him and did an appreciation album for the late JJ, one of his best friends. So there's no reason to get excited about Brendan Tindalls's post.
@@bobbynoe1 you gotta love a guy who spent most of the 80’s mowing the lawn outside his trailer and listening to Van Halen….JJ Cale
My husband played lead guitar for his band in the 60s/70s. He loved SRV, JB, and JP. But he would argue with anyone that you were THE GREATEST. Thanks for this.
George Terry, mam?
There’s so much talent in that room!
Dad has it they never mind see where they go
Chris Stainton. I imagine meeting him over Sunday lunch in a pub and him just saying he "plays in a band". So underrated but appreciated by us :)
A proof that this song is a legend and can be used by different style
Thank you ERIC and thanks to JJ Cale
EC is the legend so is slowhand LP ur right every song
JJ Cale ? no, the 3 greatest psychedelic guitarist John Cippolina, Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton
@@thegreatchain7112
Um what ?
@@EatAPeach72 ? you are ignorant of the one and only - John Cippolina ? are you kidding me ? when it comes to Psychedelic guitarist 🎸 he's the absolute best+ Quicksilver Messenger Service in 1968 was the best rock band in the World
@@thegreatchain7112 JJ Cale wrote the song. I believe that was the reference.
There are no words to express my lifelong appreciation and respect for this legend and his music, so I won't even try ... 'cause I know y'all get it.
I so get it. Clapton is a God eh
I found it dull, lacking imagination, another rehash of something I was tired of decades ago, not an original new production, and just flat out boring. Mark Knopfler is the man you should be listening to instead of an anti-vaxer politicising and weaponizing his latest release. All in all I will wait and see what Britknee Spearz has to offer. Im sure it will bear repeated encounter.
It tried to put it on words, and then deleted all. it was useless.
Damn eric still got that voice. Undisputed god of Rock n roll
clapton is god long live forever
...and still got the hands too!
...and the blues
I find him dull and boring and his anti vax campaign song is a direct ripoff from Keb Mo. Every riff is a rip off and not original.
God of Blues
This legend already showed for the world his talent many years ago, and if he wanted could be enjoying a peaceful retirement, but the joy of the music in his veins could not be stopped by a mere glimpse of tranquility ( or even by "strange forces" ) and thank God we still have this man and his great band keeping making great songs and rocking on!
God bless you, Mr. Clapton!!
And encouraging people with shit songs to refuse vaccines and break lockdown in a pandemic, when as one of the most famous musicians alive he can indulge in such petty railing in a way that other musicians can't.
Well, that is all true, but I think his lifestyle forces him on the road. That may explain his impatience with the whole COVID issue, as it meant loss of earnings. I think good old EC likes his luxury bespoke cars, watches, and other perks of his career quite a bit. Otherwise, he could have retired from planks a long time ago and record the occasional studio album. Cheers!
Amen...to the original comment!
Great to see The Slowhand back on stage rocking!
#Claptonisgod
Eric is Derek
Thank Eric, and great to see Steve on drums.
with JJ smiling from above - telling Eric" buddy they still need and want you down there"!!!! great team
JJ and Eric met once for an album and were never friends. Escondido is the first time that they ever met.
@@johnburke5053 that's not actually true, they first met in the UK in 1977 and check out Cale's appearance at the Crossroads concert in Dallas, 2004 ... they're sharing the same stage
I enjoy both of the original renditions (JJ's and Eric's) but this one feels extra special. Thank you, Mr. Clapton. ❤
Loved the original version, but this one on acoustic guitar is special. His vocals are as polished and powerful as ever. The man fascinates me !
@@jeromebreeding3302 Jerome, I feel the same way! Much love and light to you. ❤
A raw talent!! Lay Down Sally", "Wonderful Tonight", "Change the World", "Tears in Heaven" and the cover of Bob Marley's "I Shot the Sheriff", are my all time favorites
@@archeandrews8906 Can't argue with this selections. Danced to them all at my favorite biker bar, along with Bob Marley's Natty Dread album picks.
@@jeromebreeding3302 oh you love that too?
The man. The myth. The legend. Dude dresses like an average everyday grandpa. Guy's sold 300 million records. Legend.
Oh man oh man oh man. The greatest is still the greatest, not to mention the sublime talents of Steve, Nathan and Chris.
Sublime. The perfect description
Love Respect Regards
@SophieBelleClaptonyou are most welcome. He has given me a lifetime of enjoyment in both the hardest and best of times.
@SophieBelleClaptonmust be 34 years or so when I was about 15/16 years old. Long time ago! I’ve been lucky enough to see him live twice and will see him again in Dublin in May. I love the depth and feeling of his music. From his big band performances to the more intimate acoustic music. His sound is unmistakeable.
@SophieBelleClaptonno, I was just one of thousands at the concerts!
The brother still got his voice! Such a real life legend!
Not just EC but also all of these superb performers are so good at their work at their respective ages that it just blows my mind....
Great great musicians. Respect and love.
@SophieBelleClapton That's mundane, son.
@SophieBelleClapton What I mean is that there are better things to do in life than impersonating Clapton's daughter.
@SophieBelleClapton Get a life, spammer.
Get a life. @SophieBelleClapton
Eric Clapton is a legend
I am 20 y.o. guy from Kyiv, Ukraine. I have been listening Eric's music since I was 10. Thank you for all, love and respect. You and JJ Cale are legends!
I hope your fine
HAIR NEVER LOOKED SO GOOD!! old guys jammin!! awesome to see you!!
Love your hair Sexy again EC.
Best singer/guitar player of all time…, love you Clapton and all that your doing…. One day I’m going to be one of the best musicians in the world, and you’ll be the first one I list on why I do what I do hands down. Also, By the way, Nathan East is my most favorite bassist of all time as well. He is always smiling loving what he’s is doing, what a man…
Best guitarist in the world ❤️
От Бога. Все.
J J Cale....pure magic....Enchantment 24/7/365.... The Master Forever.
Thank you all. EPC & his guys today the first class blues band. Fantastic song. Rip JJ Cale
The best musicians - such as Clapton, Dylan, Knopfler...all continuously reinterpret their own and other folks songs; never just performing "covers". A lesson to us all out here - you are not Eric Clapton, just be as good as you can be, thats more than enough.
He is a great guitarist .
Underrated.
@@wp7187 underrated how? Just after Hendrix.... Clapton was and is considered God.
He sounds so good on the acoustic. What a legend. I absolutely loved his solo here! such a groovy blues feel and melodic line. 2:28
I think Clapton is not the Guitar God but an old phoenix. When you think it's over, he is reborn and presents us with his talent and his music. Our ears and our hearts give thanks!
Long live Eric Clapton!!! ♥
@SophieBelleClapton
Hi Sophie!
I was very happy to read your comment and to know that my words about the love I have for Clapton and his music reached someone close to the legend!
I live in Brazil and in September 2024 I will be attending his show in Rio de Janeiro for the first time.
Needless to say, it's going to be an incredible moment for me and other Brazilian fans.
A big hug to you and success always!
@SophieBelleClapton
Eric Clapton for me is more than a music icon. It is not possible to tell the history of music without mentioning Clapton and his entire legacy. I've been a fan of his since the Cream days, where with Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker he already made the sound that would become characteristic of him. I really like Clapton's "blues" phase, with strong influences from his friend B.B. King,
to which he did several wonderful shows...
I like Clapton in all his nuances and phases and, as I said, for me he is a Fenix. Everyone thinks it's gone and, without anyone expecting it, it is reborn from the ashes with something wonderful. There are some songs from his repertoire that, knowing how it was made and composed, left me feeling like,
ecstatic. The song "My Father’s Eyes" for example. Through the story of him not knowing his father, he was able to see him through his son's eyes. I can spend hours and hours here talking about the guitar god...
Like I said, I'll finally get to watch it live. I'm going to make a big dream come true...
@SophieBelleClapton
No. I had the opportunity to go, but I didn't and now I will.
we r lucky to have you Mr. Clapton!, thank you for healing and inspiring millions of us including me!!
Thank you Eric for the music 🎶🎶
It is food for the soul and the real medicine that we all need for a demented world where we're living in now. God bless you and your family Amen 🙏
And much peace and love from northeast Texas 🤠
Take your horse pills
You Still Have Eric!!!
Much love, Gratitude!!!
it seems like MAGIC, to take one of our old favorite songs, and turn it in to a New Favorite. And make it seem brand new. It's generational. This has to be some kind of MAGIC. Right ? This Magic Man (mr.Eric Clapton) has a boat load of old favorites. All real music that could touch your soul. How cool could it be for him to tune up some more to bring back the so missed, real deal music. Lost souls could not help, but to dump rap, and chemistry country music for good, and then be born again. Born to music that makes friends and great to dance to. And music to cry too. Music that makes us think. Real, genuine, advanced entertainment .Music that makes you want to live] more, so you can keep hearing the Music. GOOD music can rebuild our minds...and bring back smiles.
call it, "Medical Music."
This is not music it is a little glimpse of heaven.❤️❤️
Clapton's still killing it!
He always will ❤️
@Ron Loewen and by anti-vaxxers you mean people who believe that taking a vaccine should be an individuals choice and they shouldn't be forced to take it.. Yeah those monsters 🙄 stfu
Just saw him live this week. Sounded fantastic!
Saw him and the band last night ! He still has it at 73 years young.
That’s the clone you saw.
I’ve known and followed the music of EC for over fifty years, and I just love the way the music ages like a great fine wine. It just gets better and better. Thank you for your commitment to your art.
If you played guitar bass and piano you would clearly see that this is not an improvement or a developement in his skill level. I am seeing a sad decline and hearing him playing Keb Mo riffs. Im thinking that Eric is doing heroin again.
60yrs.❤😢😮😊
Eric Clapton is still rocking. Hats off to Mr legend. Please come to perform in lndia
Sad that most people of our country dont know abt him
Move on Eric, you are a very very good person too👍🌿❣🏋️♀️🎯
A raw talent!! Lay Down Sally", "Wonderful Tonight", "Change the World", "Tears in Heaven" and the cover of Bob Marley's "I Shot the Sheriff", are all my favorites
One of my favourite Clapton cover songs, live the original, the remake in the 80’s and the live versions.
This acoustic is amazing, didn’t think he would ever do an unplugged version.
Live Long Clapton❣️
Love from Nepal❣️🇳🇵
Que alegría me da ver a Eric tan bien!! Me alegro el día, uno de mis máximos ídolos y motivadores por siempre! Hay que estar casi 60 años activo en la música. GENIO!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Ya hay que estar en la vida, imagínate en la música, en arte , en cualquier manifestación. Se agradece tanto. Al verlo a Nathan East, reflexioné, me veré así??? 🥰💙🙏🇦🇷
Es increíble verdad!!!!
La vacuna le arruino el sistema nervioso y pensaba que no volvería a tocar
Un privilegio volver a oírlo
Sounds great to me. Proves that it's best to stick to what you really do best. The music is all I care about.
Lord have mercy....No strat, les paul or marshall and still on fire..GOD LIVES!
Great!!
金曜の夜にこんな上質な音楽を聴けるなんて！
最高です🙌
Definitely still number one and the only one .Long live the GOD OF BLUES . Tannks Mr. SLOWHAND CLAPTON .
Thank You Eric 🎸🤜🏻🤛🏻 give a hand for the band 👏 this version is fantastic, this is what Eric’s about.. composition is always perfect in my opinion im 30 years old and ive loved EC since i was a slightly wild law breaking teenager,retired now of course thank you Eric for the good times at the RAH & many more to come 👏😏 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Really fantastik!
The piano ...sooo coool

Can't say I've ever seen Nathan on the stand up bass b4. Nice jammin.
Unplugged
Gracias a Eric Clapton. Y a su enorme banda con Nathan East en el Bajo, Steve Gadd en la batería y Chris Stainton en los Teclados. Simplemente un testimonio de arte, música, creatividad y de la historia de las últimas 4 décadas del entorno musical mundial. 🍷🌟
Fantastic version.... great to see and hear Eric keeping the Music and the Spirit of his dear friend JJ Cale alive!
You know it's a truly great song when it can constantly be recrafted to reveal even more of its musical depth. When it comes to JJ Cale's songs, nobody understood them better than Eric Clapton. THis is a beautiful nuanced cover.
4 masters of their trades, making great music. Beautiful. If I could get my hands on that guitar Eric is playing, my wife would have to find somewhere else to sleep!!!!!
He told the wife go we talked you girls
One of the 3 Yardbirds guitar greats. A cool version of the JJ Cale song. Cheers!
Eric Clapton looks like wine , it 's getting better over the years
Eric Clapton gran leyenda de la música, gran apoyo desde Colombia.
ofcourse eric clapton former drug addict gets support from colombia😳
The entertainment industry is on such a large platform reaching masses larger than any organisation or president or institute could ever achieve.
Therefore are this platform THE MOUTH PIECE of the people for the people.
Hello Elria where are you from?
Four masters at work. Simply sensational.
JJ would be proud 🤘🏻🖤
Clapton sounding older but still bloody awesome, can not wait to see the whole lock down sessions DVD
If I could play fingerstyle half as well as Clapton, I'll die happy.
Mr Clapton voice growing better and better like velvet. Unplugged, exceptionally, well delivered.

I HAVE NO WORDS TO APPRECIATE THE PERFORMANCE.AGE NO BAR HERE IN THIS LIVE RECORDING.

Looking forward to hearing all the songs 🤗
God bless Clapton…He is easily among the greatest in rock history and still giving the world fantastic music…The world needs more good music & love and Eric is superbly delivering🙏🏼
Erik is the Pied Piper playing Keb Mo riffs theze dayz
Oh man yes! Such an amazing feeling to see Eric still going strong! Live long and healthy good Sir! 👍
God save the king and his voice. Doesn’t matter the passing of the years, Sir. Eric Clapton keeps it fresh and tuned. And what to say of his band mates? The experience as itself. Bravo, maestros!
Unbelievable the HEROES the best,love y All.
Clapton´s portfolio is simply astonishing. His entire career has been truly outstanding. His voice, his exquisite guitar playing and legendary contribution to the blues are candidly mesmerising. Thank you for everything, Eric.
What a Band,what great Versions of the Classics!
Fantastic!👏👏👏
Thank you!🙏
Just Love from Berlin! We gonna fix this! Because we know who we are and where we at! 💖💖💖
Beautiful rythm, Beautiful playing of all the musicians, listened after my work..
@Eric Claptonmusicinc, It's a great pleasure to hear Éric and all the musicians (violoncelle, piano, drums) playing together After Midnight !
I hope I can see Éric and Musicians on Shows one day, in France.
When I was working in Paris, 1985-1989, I was often listening to know the days of the show, but I think I had to go to England to see Éric Clapton.
I'm a fan of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Beatles, Stones, Blues, B. B. King, Lucky Peterson (Life is Blues).
These last weeks, I appreciate to listen to your songs because I catched the Covid 19 with three vaccins Pfeizer, I'm better but I was very tired.
One Song I like by Éric Clapton is "Knocking on heaven's door, the rythm, the voice, all is very nice...
I like also Toby Lee, and all the fingerstyles like Andy Mac Kee, Calum Graham, Mike Dawes, Preston Reed, I like so much Guitars..
Have a nice Sunday, nice week, waiting for your Wonderful Music.
I'm living in Marseilles.
Take care of all of you.
This man is the living legend... the sound to my soul
I remember listening to Unplugged and being “he was plugged in a Marshall 30 years ago!” Now it’s 30 years since unplugged. Nostalgia, mon.
Slow hand doing his magic 🎸 again 😎
Heard this on the syndicated Blues Deluxe radio show, recently. Bass line at the beginning in a WALL SHAKER!
Well that was incredible.
Back to the roots, nice and laid back.....JJ would approve..
What gift to see E.C still doing his thing!!
What a gift to us! Smooth, soulful, timeless, just what we all need with the craziness of our world. God has given Eric a rare talent of communication for a lifetime. The collaboration with these other talented musicians is tight. Thank you for this special treat! Blessings, Lori / Mols, MN.
Mr. Clapton, Mr. Gadd, Mr. Stainton, Mr. East,......... very, very cool!
LR from Bavaria Germany!
A shout-out to these four super-talented musicians. Nathan East age 67 (great to see him playing acoustic bass); Chris Stainton age 79 (master of the keyboard); Steve Gadd age 78 (showing how to play drums in a laid back, acoustic setting); and Eric of course age 78 - a living legend.
Now this is a man at the top of his game... Wow!!!
What a wonderful session with great musicians, in particular Mr Stainton, who is frequently overlooked.
As someone who has spent many years as a working musicians and who daily continues to work on his skills, I can testify that Eric Clapton is a far greater musician than any or all of his recorded performances can convey. The elegance and economy of his playing is mystifying!
Your kind of right , but it’s not only the notes he doesn’t play but as much about the notes he does play and his phrasing & Timing of such is sublime
Nathan "Denzel" East. :D
Oldtimers bringing smiles on my face, yet again. Legends.
Thanks Eric I have started to play guitar a long time ago. It changed my life really ! I like this version so much and I greatly appreciate also the historical band ...a good appreciation also to the Values of experience, friendship through the years and the joy of playing together also in so diffiucult times . On a wall there was a sign : "Clapton is God" . I don't know if Eric Clapton is God,but surely he can make miracles (his music did it for me at least !)
Thank you Eric Clapton and company....great music from a great cast of musicians!!
I enjoyed EC back in the 1970s & 80s....now I love his voice and the music.
Woooooow thank you sooooo much Mister Clapton !
Sound the bells of freedom Eric !
