Every 20 years or so, Clapton pulls out a blazing live rendition of Sheriff, it seems. I heard one from around 2010, that sounded like EC in his prime - amazing intensity. Just wish I could find it again.
Honestly, dude is holding this show together! Playing tons of the parts that Clapton would usually do (not that Clapton isn't playing at about the highest level I've ever seen a full-on drunk play, and I mean that in a good way)... I guess it's all about propping up his rather soused boss. Some really tasty playing; what a band all around, really.
Yo be 21 again. 1977 ws a very good year to be alive. After, 461 Ocean Blvd years were extra laid back ones not unlike Greg Allmans album which along with these years I wore out on the turntable and on my home recorderd cassettes in my VW bug with surf racks scouring the point breaks and beach breaks of Santa Barbara County. Thank you for this lovely offering from England and country and people I dearly remember and love. P& L. Make England Great Again in 2024. Your culture is amazing.
I'll never be 21 again, but I got to hear him do this live just last year. It's crazy to think that this was filmed 47 years ago, because he sounds every bit as good today as he did then. Maybe, if I'm being honest, a little bit better. Drying out has been very good for him. I think being this good was very hard for him to deal with as a younger person. He seems to have aged into it nicely.
Maybe you got to see him play the Long Beach Arena summer of 1974 when 461 was a hit. My cousin and I drove down from Ventura to see him. Best summer of my life. From Malibu to Rincon. Surfs up!!!
@wandajames143 yeah, I think I would have enjoyed doing that back in the day.This British music TV show was about 3 years after the release of 461 So. Ocean Blvd.
Clapton has more than earned my respect, as a musician who’s devoted himself with sincerity to a succession of authentic American musical forms, including Delta and Chicago blues, Chuck Berry-style rock and roll, country, and JJ Cale-style rockabilly. He didn’t get stuck in a rut, or become a parody of himself. And he wisely went back to acoustic blues as an older man, when he perhaps had less intensity, but more character to draw on.
Eric Clapton is one of my biggest idols, i grew up listening his albums and his performances and i’m just 25 years old, reading all those comments of people who really had the chance to see him live in his prime is amazing you don’t know how lucky you guys were to see this legend live in his finest era. Thinking seriously on take a trip to California to finally see him live cause i don’t think he will comeback to Mexico; by the way this is my favorite Eric’s performance.
@@hiterss omg yaaaasssss, i just can’t believe it I just made this comment a couple of weeks ago and then… surprise! EC in Mexico, all my life waiting for this moment i’m so excited, I’m looking forward to get my tickets to see him too, greetings from Guadalajara!
So much talent on show here including Yvonne Elliman and Marcy Levy (for those not already aware) who had a #1 hit single 15 years later as part of Shakespears Sister..
Great player I grew up listening to him and his contemporaries. Just got round to reading his autobiography. A good read particularly for us older musos who can relate to much of the references.
Gosh dang i jus scrolled thru some incredibly full o shiite comments...Clapton and band put down a very...very,good show on this night. Appreciate it,thanks
George Terry was from Miami, Fla. Producer Tom Dowd hooked him up with Clapton. Dowd ran Criteria Studios in Miami which was owned by Atlantic Records. Atlantic also leased 461 South Ocean Blvd. for those artists in residence at Criteria. 461 was in Golden Beach, north Miami Beach.The whole Clapton, Elliman, Terry thing came out of Tom Dowd, Criteria and Miami Beach.
I was 18yrs.old...when this song came out. I ❤this album...I had it on 8-track. I use to bring it with me whenever I went surfing in south Florida in my light blue 1968 surfer vw bug.😊
EC’s father was a 🇨🇦 soldier. I’m originally from Alberta & Eric's half brother used to live in Raincouver. This video, so far, (Alberta), foreshadowing the ‘78 performance I saw…Eric laying back, generously giving Terry the guitar spotlight. It’s really sad knowing bassist, Carl Radle, would die only a few years later, in 1980. Too bad The Core’s not included on this one, a personal favourite from the Slowhand album.
This is when he was using and promoting "Music Man" amplifiers. George Terry is even on a Stratocaster style Music Man guitar. But it has Humbuckers instead of single coil as in Fenders. Sounds good. 👍
Thats why i think he is the best ive seen (what you said)..So many genres and so many different bands also but its all top tier whatever he does.He is the complete package.
I really loved this band and was anxiously awaiting the return of Eric back in 1974 and other than Eric's drinking problems, there were many great shows form Eric and this band. Got to see them quite often from '74 to '77 and was kind of sad when the band started to change after '77. In any event, love this video along with Carl, Jamie, Dick, Yvonne, Marcy, George & Sergio.
Eric was in a wet period here but it’s still absolutely brilliant! He, like so many others were in their prime under the influence. Yvonne also brilliant, of course! And that band!
@@charleneknight4064 Yvonne Elliman. She is the singer here and performed with him in the seventies, when he often was drunk on stage. And in this show he couldnt speak her name right.
he lookes jazzed lol.I think the only thing i've seen where it super evident with how is eyes are.Its not to say something negative, in fact, that's hi all messed up?? haha well that's why i thin hes the best all time in my opion humbly.Blessings and stay safe!
what a performance and underrated vocals of Eric . Just gorgeous on Hello Old Friend and Sign Language . And a salute to Yvonne , Terry and the band !! Vintage
I used to have this on VHS. Almost wore it out I played it so much. This is a great performance of this period of his. Smoother than butter. Smoother than the brandy he's necking backstage that's for sure!
Well . He wrote many great songs. For me easy on guitar But if all he did was write that would be plenty of talent already. Just happens he plays really good and sings well also. Someone I would love to meet along with Paul Rodgers. Paul Rodgers. Jimmy Page
It doesn't get any better Bob dylan Eric Clapton writing together and recording with The Band as the sound engineer /back up band. Really a monumental moment in music history. What was produced is called "No reason to cry" circa 1976.
Clapton has always toured with great guitarists in his band. He’s not afraid to share the spotlight. Besides many of his songs require two guitarists to make them sound just right.
Eric's demons would have killed you or me. He was and is human, not "God". Kudos and much respect and gratitude to Eric for surviving and thriving and sharing his muse and giving us great Joy.
I was lucky enough to see him in Macon Coliseum, he had broken his foot and he performed great sitting on a stool the whole night,a sad note,after the concert we heard that Lynyrd Skynyrd plane had crash on the radio,great concert but sad ending for the night,thank you EC for all the great music over all these years
Drummer Andy Oldacker just died maybe 2-3 years ago. And as I'm sure everyone knows, the bassist is the late Carl Radle, who met EC playing with Whitlock and Gordon in Delaney and Bonnie. The four formed Derek and the Dominos, and Radle stayed with EC after the Dominos.
Great to see this, thanks. I saw him at the Glasgow Apollo on this 1977 tour, supported by Ronnie Lane's Slim Chance. Eric was a bit worse for wear that night. He messed up the spirally bit in the middle of Badge. Stopped...started again and got it note perfect. Great night!
Essa fase do Eric Clapton é a que mais gosto... Essa gravação era de de um VHS que perdi e assisti ao menos umas 100 vezes... Obrigado por terem publicado❤😂
I remember how Eric seemed to have lost his way and lost his fire at this time, and how disappointing it was that he never really progressed in his guitar playing after the 60s, but this is actually a great show. He’s singing well, his voice sounds great - Alberta is a terrific vocal performance. And the band sounds great. Guitar playing is not god-like, but it’s on the money. A pretty great performance, overall.
73 year old nam vet, had front row seat palace of auburn hills wearing yellow tshirt with "eric your music saved my life and soul" 15:17 🎉 When he came back out for last songs he seen it gave me a nod.
Id have to say this is one of my fav shows ever from him even though its not a ton of him on electric.But he still kills it when he does on some tunes.Whos been fooling you is off the charts, then i shot the sheriff, wow!
Abe Union pride what a show so happy we can still hear what a powerful performer he was and still is named my son Derek who is know a lawyer his own firm Bernstein law out of St Pete fld
As well as Marcella Detroit (Levy) on the other side, who later became famous in Shakespeare’s Sister (late 80s, early 90s). She also co-wrote ‘Lay Down Sally’. With regards to Yvonne Ellman. She toured with Clapton from the early/mid 70s and can be heard on the ‘EC was here’ live album. She was signed to RSO, like Eric at that time.
I personally think this period was Clapton's best. This solo is my favourite in this show 53:59. A great album from this period is "EC Was Here". All live with some great blues tracks.
I saw Clapton three times: 1. As second guitarist for Dire Straits at Wembley Stadium on June 11 1988 - he was astounding, as was the band.\ 2. Again at Wembley Stadium in 1992 on a double bill with Elton John - he was again astounding, he did a two-hour set, as did Elton. Great night. 3. A third and final time at Earls Court in London in 1998 with Bonnie Raitt as the support. He was nothing less than brilliant. What you have to know is that Clapton could fart out the phone book and it would be marvellous. I don't rate the first two songs but in his hands they still sound much better than they deserve. Clapton's second guitarist here, George Terry, takes the solos for the first few numbers and really shows the gap in class between himself and Clapton. When Eric grabs his Strat here and right from the start plays it with ease, it's just wonderful. Thank God he's still with us and still playing. Eighty next year, I can't believe it. x
I have been a huge Eric fan most all of my many years on this planet. I saw him many times over the years. I did go and see him back when his band included Marci Levi and Yvonne Elliman. I can tell you that those two girls all but stole the show from Eric that night....they were amazing! I guess being a guitar player myself has made me notice things that others may not. When Eric was playing the solo in the song "Tell the Truth" he made some pretty bad mistakes. I would attribute that to his heavy drinking and drug usage during this period of his life. In fact did you notice he could not even introduce Yvonne properly, slurring his words? If you take this performance and compare it with for example- the live Cream reunion concert at the Royal Albert Hall. you should notice a HUGE improvement with Eric. He never misses one note - Not even one, and it was all improvised. Do you even know how hard that is to do? Only someone with Eric's experience can pull that off...Love him and his music.
@@westbatman66Fanboys can often get blinded…. By Eric’s own admission, being strung out on smack probably didn’t facilitate his greatest period as a guitar player 🎸

I personally think this period was Clapton's best. This solo is my favourite in this show 53:59. A great album from this period is "EC Was Here". All live with some great blues tracks.
I saw Clapton three times:
1. As second guitarist for Dire Straits at Wembley Stadium on June 11 1988 - he was astounding, as was the band.\
2. Again at Wembley Stadium in 1992 on a double bill with Elton John - he was again astounding, he did a two-hour set, as did Elton. Great night.
3. A third and final time at Earls Court in London in 1998 with Bonnie Raitt as the support. He was nothing less than brilliant.
What you have to know is that Clapton could fart out the phone book and it would be marvellous. I don't rate the first two songs but in his hands they still sound much better than they deserve. Clapton's second guitarist here, George Terry, takes the solos for the first few numbers and really shows the gap in class between himself and Clapton. When Eric grabs his Strat here and right from the start plays it with ease, it's just wonderful. Thank God he's still with us and still playing. Eighty next year, I can't believe it. x

@@westbatman66Fanboys can often get blinded…. By Eric’s own admission, being strung out on smack probably didn’t facilitate his greatest period as a guitar player 🎸
One of these days he might bust out a 59 flame top and really let loose. There's still hope.
What happened to Eric's eyes at 53:06?
😅😅😅 yes something must of kicked in!😅😅😅
He recognized someone and gave them a look
He recognized someone in the audience, probably a friend because the concert is in London.
Probably someone made him react like that lmao
Yvonne Elliman and George Terry really shine in this performance. Not sure how EC manages to stand up he’s so drunk. Some great songs in the 70’s
Maybe something called " coke"
he is not drunk
playing well
Years of practice!! 🙂
Eric Clapton on acoustic guitar so far.
Where? Which song(s)?
