Always admire how Clapton will jump into any style of music. You can tell he was working hard on this song, challenging himself. Same thing when he collaborated with Santana.
@@TheRiboka Admittedly, I haven't heard Clapton growl as much as he has here. Maybe that's what the original comment was implying. Idk. It is, however, correct that Clapton lives, breathes, and bleeds the Blues. A true gentleman of the genre. A scholar of the sound.
Yep, because everyone here has enormous respect for each other. Such class. Something you don't generally see on YT comments! (where it's a him vs him shit-fest of nonsense)
@@ingemarnilsson5498 its an old nickname for him. It comes from how long it took him to change out his strings after a snap. Nothing to do with his playing style lol
Shame that Clapton and Howlin Wolf never credited the original by Roosevelt Sykes (Okeh, No. 8702) as the originator of this awesome AAB Songform. Little Brother Montgomery is usually credited with the song, he in turn taught it to a blues pianist named Lee Green (Number 44 Blues, 1929 Vocation-1401). Green, taught it to Sykes. But nobody recorded it and there were no lyrics until Sykes, the first who added the lyrics and recorded it in '29 as "44 Blues". Sykes, Green, and Montgomery recorded it ten times between 29 and 36 as Vicksburg Blues (1930 Paramount 13006-A). This great composition was written by Hubert Sumlin, Jody Williams, Otis Span, Willie Dixon, and Earl Phillips who backed Howlin Wolf on his version in 1954 turning it into a Chicago Blues (Martial Shuffle) (Chess Records). Johnny Winter recorded it in1968 and others. But James Crutchfield, who learned the song personally from Montgomery 50 years earlier in Louisiana, recorded it for his 1985 Original Barrelhouse Blues Album (Leo Bruin, 1983). @Blues145b7
Eric, that was hugely brilliant. Thank you! You've been a big part of my music. I remember being young and poor and not having a copy of Sunshine of Your Love, but I had heard it; it was like an Holy Grail to hear it. I play a Gibson 333 because of you and Chuck Berry. You'll probably never see this, but I had to put it out there.
Getting real tired of this idiot “underrated and under-appreciated” comments with every RUclips video. Nobody under-appreciates Eric Clapton. If you want “likes”, at least try to be original. Twat.
You can tell just by the way Clapton plays this song that it’s so beloved and important to him. He has such a personal direct connection with wolf and Hubert I bet they’d be thrilled with this version.
If I were forced to pick a favorite out of this superb concert, it would be this one - Clapton is totally on fire here - both vocally and on his trusty dot-335, and the band has got his back for every sweet second! Wonderful stuff.
This is real music from the 50s no one person can play this song alone it takes at least 10 pcs to play it because it has to be played in parts. Beautiful so beautiful !!
50s? It was written and recorded in 29. Never credited to its originators. Sykes, Montgomery, Green but Sykes wrote the lyrics. Montgomery the original piano score.Wolfs version was done by Hubert Sumlin.
This 🎉🎉🎉🎉 is the best song of his Really what a great piece of work for the whole band together. They need to put it together for a new album/Cd and DVD
Howlin Wolfs 44 never sounded so good! What a band. EC playing a hollow body sunburst Gibson, in good voice and great guitar playing. I see that was Nicky Hopkins on one of the pianos, great drummer as well!
(NOLA hooks up with Memphis, on the way to Chicago...) The Blues is now an ennobled, academic art form, as it is played by Eric "Slowhand" Clapton, backed up by Wynton Marsalis and The Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. The Jazz Guys are not "playing down;" they are embracing the Bedrock of their Tradition; EC sings with an abandon worthy of the tune's originator, Howlin' Wolf, and plays with his usual, intelligent ferocity... ...but, maybe, with a little something extra here: Notice, at 5:02, how Wynton, Jazz-player, Jazz-educator, is completely transfixed by what Eric is doing.
This song was developed a 100 years ago by Dehlco Robert, Long Tall Friday and Little Brother Montgomery in Ferriday, Louisiana. It was first recorded by Roosevelt Sykes in 1929.
my favorite band is and im 50, the international silver string submarine band, if your my age and a yankee u know who im talking about , listen to this and the little rascals funny eric clapton is trying to capture their spirit, they did it as little kids over 50 years ago. to fucking funny. noke.
did u really check?my statement was that the international silver string submarine band is before these guys and what song did u listen too , ? its rag time saloon music its called a american thing so if you don't hear a resemblance of'', then u obviously do not have any ear for music'' I stick to my guns though '', I am from cleveland ohio 50 yrs born and raised I do not really care no offence what you think''' I was raised with a ear for music'.
No problem sir. I dont know that band, I looked it up and what I saw was The Little Rascals playing music. No offense intented. I appreciate US music too, especially the Marsallis Family
If I have to be american, sir I dont want to know. No offense intended... I dont live in the US, nor want to. I just happen to listen to jazz as any music I listen to from anywhere
Dear Eric Clapton,
I'm a guitar player and I love you so much. Thanks man.

This is right in Clapton's backyard ;)

Eric’s solo a throwback to the Beano album days. What an incredible performance!
i love the respect and reverence on Wynton's face. he respects slow hand.
+ernest Douglas Yes even for Wynton, that's Eric Clapton, playing right next to him..!
Yep, because everyone here has enormous respect for each other. Such class. Something you don't generally see on YT comments! (where it's a him vs him shit-fest of nonsense)
Oi
ernest Douglas why slow hand? I don’t find him slow handed with his guitar.
@@ingemarnilsson5498 its an old nickname for him. It comes from how long it took him to change out his strings after a snap.
Nothing to do with his playing style lol
Wynton sure does know how to put a band together. Magnificent!
this song makes me teary thinking Clapton could have been lost to drugs. Thank God he's still with us.
I come back to this video from time to time just to feed my ears some great ol jam !!!!
same here!
Once of Clapton's greatest solos. Just perfect.
Dekker! Thank God you're here!
Great ES 330 sound..

Clapton's voice here is perfect and under-appreciated!
couldn't agree more !
Brilliant.

what a guitar solo eric is the best blues player in the history of blues !!
You can tell just by the way Clapton plays this song that it’s so beloved and important to him. He has such a personal direct connection with wolf and Hubert I bet they’d be thrilled with this version.
Good to see a gibson back in his hands more and more these days
Gibson or BUST! Nice one you got there. Got a few myself.
HEAVY, yet light. I've watched this at least a hundred times.

what a great tune thanks for posting
This 🎉🎉🎉🎉 is the best song of his Really what a great piece of work for the whole band together. They need to put it together for a new album/Cd and DVD
Wynton’s face during Eric’s solo haha. 🤌

+Elston Gunn Nicky passed long before this recording or concert...unfortunately..
+Elston Gunn That's Chris Stanton - he plays on quite a few Clapton projects. Killer chops!
Yep...that's Chris Stainton!
This can't touch The Wolf. Sorry. It ain't bad but it doesnt even come close, period.
Thanx for share Mr. Bluesman Clapton. Awesome!
Perfection!

Nadherna skadba,skvela representace,neco jineho nez ty blbe filmy z USA co uvadi nase televize.To je jina Amerika --hezci.
I think that Colin James did an amazing version of this song (the best IMHO.) Check it out.
This is a Blues song; not a military song.
I mean it kinda is about war tho or at least can be interpreted like that.
τινος συνθεση ειναι;
I think the wynton owes a little thanks to the international silver string submarine band''
I dont hear the resemblance
did u really check?my statement was that the international silver string submarine band is before these guys and what song did u listen too , ? its rag time saloon music its called a american thing so if you don't hear a resemblance of'', then u obviously do not have any ear for music'' I stick to my guns though '', I am from cleveland ohio 50 yrs born and raised I do not really care no offence what you think''' I was raised with a ear for music'.
No problem sir. I dont know that band, I looked it up and what I saw was The Little Rascals playing music. No offense intented. I appreciate US music too, especially the Marsallis Family
its a metaphor '' sorry ,you would have to be american to understand or have knowledge of'' no offence;'' good nite''
If I have to be american, sir I dont want to know. No offense intended... I dont live in the US, nor want to. I just happen to listen to jazz as any music I listen to from anywhere
almost same rythm than "vodoo child" of hendrix ! not almost...same shit !!!!! literally
αν και:ερικ κλαπτον,η ορχηστρα το εκανε πιο σπουδαιο!
