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
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.
@@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.
@@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
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.
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!
@@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
@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
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
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.
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.
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.
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!
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…
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.
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’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.
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!!!!!
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.
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."
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 🤠
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.
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??? 🥰💙🙏🇦🇷
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....
It hurts when you see your heroes getting old,,,
soundtrack of my life RIP JJ

Do you know the name of the Bass player?
He's been with Slowhand for over 30 years.

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.......
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

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.

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

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 :)

Sad that most people of our country dont know abt him
You Still Have Eric!!!
Much love, Gratitude!!!
Don't ya just love these guys. Oh yeah👍❤❤
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

It tried to put it on words, and then deleted all. it was useless.
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
Can't say I've ever seen Nathan on the stand up bass b4. Nice jammin.

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.

One of the 3 Yardbirds guitar greats. A cool version of the JJ Cale song. Cheers!
Love Steves choice of brush and bare hand. Fucking king. Kings.

GOOOOOOODD!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you all. EPC & his guys today the first class blues band. Fantastic song. Rip JJ Cale
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.
