Ive been a Clapton hardcore fan since I was about 12 years old (1972) and pretty much learned to play the guitar from listening to Cream and Derek and the Dominos albums. After that I kept waiting for Eric to play some real blues again. When From the Cradle came out, it was like Christmas and Birthday at the same time for me. The tour was magnificent, Eric played with that old fire that he use to. Thank you Eric for the music and the free guitar lessons all of those years...
vanshipman check out eric was here live album from 1978 and one night from Japan 1980 he does a version of blues power its a thing to behold some of the best playing of all time
John Landers Oh yeah, I learned some of my best licks from both of those albums, particularly EC was Here. His version of Rambling On My Mind is KILLER. The live album is great too, but to be honest Albert Lee shines on that record like crazy. I saw him on that tour when Albert was playing with him, it was outstanding. Also when they were supporting the “Another Ticket” album. Gary Brooker from Procul Harlem was on keyboards, it was great. I’ve lost count of the times I’ve seen Eric live, I’m grateful for that. Thanks for the reply👍🎸
All of his emotion comes out thru that guitar! I feel it. if you can't, then you have no feeling. He is, simply, the greatest guitar player ever, and I have heard dozens of them!
i recorded this on vh1 when they had and eric clapton week. about 15 years ago.. lost the tape about 14 years ago. could never find this song again anywhere. thanks man for putting this on here!
I'm on my 4th listen today! Dialled it up to get lyrics (as Mr E.C. has a somewhat less distorted voice than Mr Wolf!) ... got distracted each time playing guitar along with it - what a great rhythm and pattern!!!!
I remember this tune from the cradle tour @ Madison Square Garden and going to Tower Records the next day and buying the cd only to find it wasnt on there. Nice tune..sticks on the brain.
Yes! I saw Clapton perform this at the SAP Center in San Jose back in the ‘90’s during that same “From the Cradle” tour! I was just freaking out when I hear him play this live! Effin’ awesome!! 🎶💙👏
I agree.Why does everyone say 'he's better than the other guy'Eric plays Erics way and someone else does it another way.Its who reaches you and who dosent.Or for me who gives me the goose bumps and who dosent.Its all a personal thing.Some players have soul and others dont,it dont matter who's technically better
It was a PBS special released right after Eric released his all blues album From the cradle. I taped it on VHS and have been looking for it on DVD ever since.
I saw it one evening at my grandparents' house when it was shown on the cable channel VH1. I wore the cassette out I played it so much, had to eventually get it on CD. Funnily enough, after I bought it, I played it while staying at one of my mom's aunts and uncles' houses on a break from school. Mom's aunt looked confused as she listened: "You said this was a *new* album? *I* know these songs!"
I found the lyrics, and this is it. I wore my .44 so long, I've made my shoulder sore I wore my .44 so long, I done made my shoulder sore Well, I'm wondrin' everybody, where'd my baby go Well, I'm so mad this mornin', I don't know where in the world to go Well, I'm so mad this mornin', I don't know where in the world to go Well, I'm lookin' for me some money, pawned gun to have some gold
I've sung and played this song for 35 years. You ever try listening, Google-boy? You're wrong. "I'm goin down in the valley, where my baby's gone"..."wonderin' everybody??"???? The list goes on, and you're an idiot.
… yeah, me too! Awesome cover! I think I found a bootleg CD of him playing this at the historic Fillmore in San Francisco. Not officially on the “From the Cradle” tour … but he wanted to play a few small historic venues just for old times sake! I saw him play this at the SAP Center (where the San Jose Sharks play)
i Can't find the lyrics for this song??? and I am looking for this guitar tab???? do you guys know if this is in Open D tuning or standard tuning. Thanks
Also Eric looks like he is playing a ES350T just like Chuck Berry used to play except Berry had the blonde one. Even if I am wrong, it is still a beautiful guitar. I want one!
What don't you understand about the timing? The downbeat of the drums happen to be shared by both the Newmark's kit and the other percussionist striking the solo bass drum simultaneously.
Maybe Eric is really a black bluesman with a rare pigmented disease,allowing the world to see only his white skin while keeping true to his black roots and singing the blues as well as he does.
because of minority lost like my self. can you hear what kind of a music style this sounds or reminds.the who sounds the who,the doors sounds the doors john lennon sounds lennon eric plays classic traditional blues standards.he said that he cannot write MUSIC. GOD BLESS the MUSIC
Little Brother Montgomery, who is usually credited with the development of the song, taught it to another blues pianist along the way by the name of Lee Green; Green, in turn, taught it to Roosevelt Sykes
Clappy and the lads did a pretty good version hear,,,, Don't get wrong,I love these guys,,, But listen to Howling Wolf again And post an opinion here,,,,
Uhhh,Clapton used to be great. And this is a pretty decent cut. Lowell George did a decent version too. But,nobody,yes i said NOBODY,can come close to Wolf. Not on this tune. NOBODY.
just what you think,he never play his OWN music WHY!!??listen slow down linda for ex,then you understand.Page,Richards, Townshend,Beck they do well,manage with their OWN music.fortunately,my humble honest opinion
Nothing oustanding or innovative on the bluesbreakers album? That album was one of the first to have a les paul into an overdriven marshall. Clapton, along with Mike Bloomfield, are usually credited for popularizing the les paul. But I do agree, that after Cream, he hasn't had anything too great.
Sorry gang, but even these highly paid side men can't seem to play that simple groove that was recorded on that very humble 1954 recording of Howlin' Wolf. I'll admit, it's probably as close as can be done in modern era. But it just lags in "FUNK" that can only be explained by hearing the original. Further evidence that "White men can't Jump"
slow down Linda and all other zit,this is litlle girl but Howlin Wolf song anyway.Eric or RICK Clapton is great musician as long as he play music from his classic collaboration(Cream,Allman) but this" God"is poor thing,
@liquidpick Yes, it IS you, and the only thing you got off your chest, is the fact that you know nothing about music. P.S. I would be scared to hear who you think is better!!
once this song gets in my head it's there for days

Clapton went back and played the Blues and nothing but the Blues!
Love it all. The drummer, the harp player, the guitar guys. Everything! Sounds like the Wolf!
All of his emotion comes out thru that guitar! I feel it. if you can't, then you have no feeling. He is, simply, the greatest guitar player ever, and I have heard dozens of them!
Hope you get this after 8 years. You are right sir, the best.
maybe.....but only when he plays Gibson Guitars
I saw Roosevelt Sykes play this in some little dive on Chartres St. in the Quarter when I lived in NOLA during the Sixties.
i recorded this on vh1 when they had and eric clapton week. about 15 years ago.. lost the tape about 14 years ago. could never find this song again anywhere. thanks man for putting this on here!
God bless him for giving millions great music... peace
Noone is the best in the Blues,They are all Great!!!
Eric Clapton is a legend
Yes … but so was Howlin Wolf 🤗💙🎶
... wonderful song , I listen to it as many times as possible each day .
I'm on my 4th listen today! Dialled it up to get lyrics (as Mr E.C. has a somewhat less distorted voice than Mr Wolf!) ... got distracted each time playing guitar along with it - what a great rhythm and pattern!!!!
I said it before and I'll say it again...UNBELIEVABLE!!!
thank you wolf man for this song, every now and then i have to hear this
I remember this tune from the cradle tour @ Madison Square Garden and going to Tower Records the next day and buying the cd only to find it wasnt on there. Nice tune..sticks on the brain.
Yes! I saw Clapton perform this at the SAP Center in San Jose back in the ‘90’s during that same “From the Cradle” tour! I was just freaking out when I hear him play this live! Effin’ awesome!! 🎶💙👏
Awesome romping version of one of my favorite blues songs!!
Howlin' Wolf did not write the original song, It's a very old tune and Roosevelt Sykes had the first recording back in 1929. Great tune!
In fact it was Elmore Dickens in 1928....
Hahahah. Hello Marty: I just was telling someone this same thing on another video comment section . . Hahaha.
Not bad,but Howlin Wolf’s recording is more powerful
@@Keyser_Soze739Nope....Mozart 1781 !!
Love this song!!! 🎉🎉🎉 3:03
Brilliant version 🎸🎶👌
Amen brother-I think I'l just listen & enjoy it myself dispite his "color".
Love to hear The Wolf sing the song with this band!

Blues Is life
humble, love him for that too
Great sound
Little Feat does a great version on their first album.....
1971
Yeah they do. Lowell George is just awesome
Love it!
I found the lyrics, and this is it.
I wore my .44 so long, I've made my shoulder sore
I wore my .44 so long, I done made my shoulder sore
Well, I'm wondrin' everybody, where'd my baby go
Well, I'm so mad this mornin', I don't know where in the world to go
Well, I'm so mad this mornin', I don't know where in the world to go
Well, I'm lookin' for me some money, pawned gun to have some gold
I've sung and played this song for 35 years. You ever try listening, Google-boy? You're wrong. "I'm goin down in the valley, where my baby's gone"..."wonderin' everybody??"???? The list goes on, and you're an idiot.
😂 Try listening, instead. You're way off.
great song!!!! eric pulls it off pretty well, hard to beat the wolf tho!
Nice one😊❤❤❤❤
Why this wasn’t on from the cradle is beyond me..
the drummer ist great!
And Buddy Guy & BB king will tell you that Eric Clapton is the best, they said it on the Rock hall of fame intro for Buddy Guy..
wow. thats al i can say this song rules
The song was written for Eric. The Clapton howl!
Saw the "Cradle-Tour" in ´95 - just incredible but i was really mad at him ´cause he did not put that song on the record! :)
You can find it on : From the cradle - the last rehearsel
… yeah, me too! Awesome cover! I think I found a bootleg CD of him playing this at the historic Fillmore in San Francisco. Not officially on the “From the Cradle” tour … but he wanted to play a few small historic venues just for old times sake! I saw him play this at the SAP Center (where the San Jose Sharks play)
john mayall -little girl
interesting catch
'Knew I had heard that riff somewhere else - well spotted Gorgi
check out johnny winter- the progressive blues experiment
best version
wore my .44 so long,
I made my shoulder sore.
Well, I'm going down in the valley,
Where my baby's gone.
@jdrock14 me too! Just like someone said he plays with low emotion, yeah that's why he's called the guitar God??
Yes
Hi tanks a lot
Can someone please explain the musical timing to this song the timing or drums seem unusual kinda spooky
i Can't find the lyrics for this song??? and I am looking for this guitar tab???? do you guys know if this is in Open D tuning or standard tuning. Thanks
Also Eric looks like he is playing a ES350T just like Chuck Berry used to play except Berry had the blonde one. Even if I am wrong, it is still a beautiful guitar. I want one!
Fife and drom check those 2 out
Blues a tues
@zzzdude8 You are correct. But Clapton and his band are doing almost an exact copy of the Howling Wolf recording of this tune.
What don't you understand about the timing? The downbeat of the drums happen to be shared by both the Newmark's kit and the other percussionist striking the solo bass drum simultaneously.
where can i get a copy of this song???
hello kk99ll
could you please tell me what dvd this song come from ?
thanks
Did someone have the entire recording of the session. Or at least the name and year.
1994 Rehearsals for the "From the cradle" tour. 👍
Who's the harp man? He's good!
See Jimi Hendrix 'Country Blues'
@claptonmusiclover of course you would say that, but we will have 2 agree 2 disagree
O.K.
If you want to hear this with some TRUE soul, check out Benjamin Tehoval . Wow !
This was actually written by Roosevlelt Sykes not by the "Great" Howlin' Wolf. I like the Wolf version best though.
Did Led Zeppelin ever cover this (or to be more specific, cover the Howlin’ Wolf cover)?
Who is the drummer?
Is He God or what?
Chema Brinval, best comment I 've read for some time!
See Jimi Hendrix 'Country Blues'...
@vinegaroon1
Jerry Portnoy
Wheres Steve gadd
Maybe Eric is really a black bluesman with a rare pigmented disease,allowing the world to see only his white skin while keeping true to his black roots and singing the blues as well as he does.
@kk99ll can i get that too
@liquidpick don't watch his videos then
or is your conscience truly driving you off the deep end?
because of minority lost like my self.
can you hear what kind of a music style this sounds or reminds.the who sounds the who,the doors sounds the doors john lennon sounds lennon eric plays classic traditional blues standards.he said that he cannot write MUSIC. GOD BLESS the MUSIC
Not written by Howling Wolf. Roosevelt Sykes did the lyrics. Music is unknown.
Little Brother Montgomery, who is usually credited with the development of the song, taught it to another blues pianist along the way by the name of Lee Green; Green, in turn, taught it to Roosevelt Sykes
cj burnitt
I'm french. Clapton is sincère
@emittscool I guess, although one of his nicknames is God, how could that be if he plays with low emotion, hmmmmm??
agreed... random, but it works out.
Clappy and the lads did a pretty good version hear,,,,
Don't get wrong,I love these guys,,,
But listen to Howling Wolf again
And post an opinion here,,,,
Uhhh,Clapton used to be great.
And this is a pretty decent cut.
Lowell George did a decent version too.
But,nobody,yes i said NOBODY,can come close to Wolf.
Not on this tune.
NOBODY.
Look without ES nobody of us(I mean guitar players) would play on a Fender Strat or a Gibson Les Paul. Check the history.
his gibson tone is 1,000,000,000 times better than his strat tones.
Was gonna say compared to The Mighty Wolf this sounds like a bunch of geography teachers but EC pulled off the singing pretty well.
Just some slisms.
@emittscool low on raw emotion, dude, check out his music thoroughly and I can guarantee you you will see nothing but emotion when Clapton plays.
What's the deal with the drums?
It represents his steps..:))
It's a fucking off-beat.
It's "off" all right.
+Devon Bott Nothing wrong with the beat... Its your sense of rhythm that can't follow it.
Devon Bott there is no problem with the drums you just don't feel it
The problem with England are,
The Scottish have took over they’re English.
Sounds a lot like the original to me. It has a syncopated beat. Drummer playing nervously? How 'bout flawlessly?
Fife and drom
Someone seriously dissed Jerry Portnoy on harp.. geez I guess kids are on the pc again.. seriously? !!!!!!!!!
just what you think,he never play his OWN
music WHY!!??listen slow down linda for ex,then you understand.Page,Richards,
Townshend,Beck they do well,manage with their OWN music.fortunately,my humble honest opinion
just find original"HOWLIN WOLF" no loan or borrowed from anybody.feel the real....
why E.C. NEVER PLAY his own songs?
A repeated
I repeated
You see
Them problem with they England are,
They’re Scottish have took over
Their,
English. Eesh.
same as.
It's so repetitive. still like it though
Nothing oustanding or innovative on the bluesbreakers album? That album was one of the first to have a les paul into an overdriven marshall. Clapton, along with Mike Bloomfield, are usually credited for popularizing the les paul. But I do agree, that after Cream, he hasn't had anything too great.
@liquidpick yeah..he surely got where he is by being over rated for forty some odd years.
Sorry gang, but even these highly paid side men can't seem to play that simple groove that was recorded on that very humble 1954 recording of Howlin' Wolf. I'll admit, it's probably as close as can be done in modern era. But it just lags in "FUNK" that can only be explained by hearing the original. Further evidence that "White men can't Jump"
I repeat
This is not a drill
This is not a drill.
These problems with the England are,
They’re Scottish have took over their English.
I don't believe that,and i'm Black.
slow down Linda and all other zit,this is litlle girl but Howlin Wolf song anyway.Eric or RICK Clapton is great musician as long as he play music from his classic collaboration(Cream,Allman)
but this" God"is poor thing,
@liquidpick Yes, it IS you, and the only thing you got off your chest, is the fact that you know nothing about music. P.S. I would be scared to hear who you think is better!!
Eric clapton is a musician's musician, but his playing, while technically awesome, has always been a little hollow and low on raw emotion
It sucks
the harmonica player is terrible.
