I love how Eric Clapton never tried to "look" like a rockstar. Just dressed like it was a regular day. He totally understands that it's all about the music.
@@get_downed_boi6270 Yes but 'God' is a proper name and must be capitalized whether or not you believe in Him. e.g. Santa Claus, Zeus, the Easter Bunny.
Many disagree, but this is my favorite Clapton era. When he switched to the Strat full time his vibrato came out at it's peak, and he played with so much more groove. Cream is great, but to me he hit his peak in the 70s.
Cuando fui adicto a la cocaína esta canción era un himno para mí .

This version with this intro is SO SICK better than any version i’ve heard. Why doesn’t this exist anywhere else?! When the bass comes in - then the drum kit - it is funky as hell. How could Eric not have recorded this in studio!
Imagine being present when the legendary riff cracks in at 1:19. My generation or the one after will not see greatness like this live sadly. Thanks youtube!
I saw him live in mid 70s as a late teen watched him perform layla Seen zepplin do stairway Mccartney do yesterday Floyd do darkside tour Skynard freebird snd sweet home Music was great MMGA make music great again
Steve Mirfin You were correct bro, it wasn't Steve Winwood after all. It was Tim Renwick on second guitar. They looked helluva lot alike then. And Winwood did play second guitar solo 23 years later in February 2008. Clapton & Winwood recreated "Cocaine" in "Live from Madison Square Garden" concert: ruclips.net/video/f12HYNKI3dw/видео.html
Majestic & exquisite solos by Clapton ! He is simply the best. Many could play the same notes, with exactly the same timing, but it wouldn’t sound half as good. That’s what makes Clapton great ! Amen
Live at the Hartford Civic Center on May 1st 1985, for those who want to see the show. Lineup: Eric Clapton - guitar / vocals Tim Renwick - guitar Chris Stainton - keyboards Donald 'Duck' Dunn - bass Jamie Oldaker - drums Marcy Levy - backing vocals Shaun Murphy - backing vocals
I was on the island of Crete in the summer of 1980. At night we could here this song blasting at the bars! I was 17 back then. I was so impressed! Zito Ellas!
Personnel at this gig: Vocals, guitar: Eric Clapton Guitar: Tim Renwick Bass: Duck Dunn Keyboards: Chris Stainton Drums: Jamie Oldaker Vocals: Shaun Murphy and Marcy Levy
Tim Renwick steal the show with this amazing and unbelievable guitar solo at the end ! first i saw this video, i believe it was mark knopfler. I buy a mexican fender stratocaster black and white because of this video and she's become my favourite guitare since 13 years. But his default is only 21 cases ^^ (sorry for my speak, i'm french)
Didn't know that was Renwick, I love his playing on a couple of Al Stewart albums. Ever hear his solo at the end of the song Modern Times? That is a beauty
I was at his roosevelt stadium concert when he left after a couple songs man so many bottles got thrown at the stage when roadies started breaking down the stage they started throwing the bottles back into the crowd ah good times lol
When I met my fiancé at a house party she told me she wanted to hang out, I said if you want to hang out, you gotta take her out and all she said was “cocaine”
Awesome song and great version. Love the solo at the beginning followed by the big smile at 1:15? It is like he is saying, "Oh man, we sound so good..."
Lo vi en vivo en el estadio nacional de Chile, en el concierto llamado " rock en Chile" realmente espectacular el show de " mano lenta" esto fue en el año 1988 más o menos
Clapton has got to be the best guitarist of all time. Hendrix died too soon. BB stayed too boxed in. EVH wasn’t able to evolve more than 2 decades. Poor SRV dies in a helicopter accident. Clapton survived it all and stayed relevant, but not only that. His style changed. 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, 10s....-and the man still relevant and killing in the 2020s.....please tell me who else is doing this.....

frank Frank well rn. Wait till he gets into his drug addict partying days and you see the Change. With out god , it’s very easy for a man to go down

Je vous aime
Mark Knofler used to do it too.
he dressed like Steve jobs lol
shirt -1$
pants-2$
shoes-20$
guitar -2000$
music - national treasure of England
who is it?
EC-COCAINE!
Coke .$$ Unknown
The guitar is only really $300, claptons ownership of it makes it so expensive
*£
BLACK 66 no, he bought it in Nashville
@@undergroundwalkerisback922 if you can find a 66 strat for 300$ I'll buy us both one
This song is addictive
I see what you did there ;)
and healthy
@@pauljudd9825 You're not addicted...you just like how it smells
Mark Bond that's MY MAN!
@@markbond9255 No way ajahhahahahahahahahahahah
The most underrated solo in music history
Stop yo
It's riff but also solo.
Many disagree, but this is my favorite Clapton era. When he switched to the Strat full time his vibrato came out at it's peak, and he played with so much more groove. Cream is great, but to me he hit his peak in the 70s.
totally agree I remember buying the video live 85 wore that tape out drove my mum nuts jammin along to it and neighbours banging on the walls haaa.
1983 bootleg s in YT check !!!
He killed it on the Stratocaster
Yes. I love Cream and Blues Breakers era Clapton, but his 80s era stuff is what made me want to play guitar.
70s and 80s, when he still appreciated COCAINE.
Awesome song..
Thumbs up to whom listening to this song in 2021 now...
Das me
pretty shocking tho lol wouldnt recomend it
Listened now, listened back in 1977. Good music doesn't age.
It's my go to music when I do my daily painting lol
October 21st 2021
These guys hit a perfect groove on this song....smooth yet rocked.

Hahahaha si sabés que es una Canción antidroga? cuanta ignorancia Pero el hecho de que creas en Seres imaginarios justifica tú estupidez
Love that simple intro. Clapton was a boss back then (still somewhat is). i'd listen to this all day on a million$ yatch
There’s no denying a younger Clapton would spazz out on the guitar more than the older Clapton does.
@@s550danny late to the party but even Clapton in early 2000s would go absolutely nuts
The lead in is incredible. Then he just blows it away during his solo.
Legend. Dresses like Geography teacher who gigs on the weekends to make abit of extra cash.
That's really specific
Not interested in his fashion sense....
Seriously?
Time for a lesson
Lol
Dennis De Young of Styx taught my aunt at Rich Central in Matteson, IL in the 70's right before Styx became famous!!
2:46 stood out to me as a completely SUBLIME phrase that he makes look easy. Give me his dexterity. He is my guitar hero.
This version with this intro is SO SICK better than any version i’ve heard. Why doesn’t this exist anywhere else?! When the bass comes in - then the drum kit - it is funky as hell. How could Eric not have recorded this in studio!
Some things are best left for live experiences 😉
if you like shit like this then you'd love bands like phish goose widespread etc cause majority of it is just them jamming aka jam band
@@IPWNURFACE1000 old school dave
100 percent agreed
One Night Only is live, but also best recorded version on an album, and totally better than this version imo.
Imagine being present when the legendary riff cracks in at 1:19. My generation or the one after will not see greatness like this live sadly. Thanks youtube!
Lots of bangers nowadays but this one also slaps
I saw him live in mid 70s as a late teen watched him perform layla
Seen zepplin do stairway
Mccartney do yesterday
Floyd do darkside tour
Skynard freebird snd sweet home
Music was great
MMGA make music great again
If I ever play live and I hope I will this song is definetely the one that I'll enjoy the most.
Nah man. It cracks in at 1:03. Unbelievable version this.
@@scottaussem1771 lucky man. Which ones were the best live?
I love how the audience sings out Cocaine!! at the end! Such a fun song for the whole family to sing!!
lol
😂😂
If you gave this a thumbs down... You sir or mam are completely insane.
Recorded live at the Civic Center, Hartford, CT, May 1, 1985.
I was just about to ask - thanks mane!
Thank you for uploading for us fans!!!
Who's in the band?
2.5 years before I was born
Back whn the cola was good
Right around 1:03 when the bass kicks in .... Sucha cool buildup makes my hairs rise!
Completely with you, too many times I have imagined myself in the mirror playing this LOL
chris b Whos the other dude on guitar
ravon1982 I've been wanting to know that for years. Man he's got great solo chops as well.
Nah, that's not Winwood, much though he has collaborated with Clapton over the years
Steve Mirfin You were correct bro, it wasn't Steve Winwood after all.
It was Tim Renwick on second guitar. They looked helluva lot alike then.
And Winwood did play second guitar solo 23 years later in February 2008. Clapton & Winwood recreated "Cocaine" in "Live from Madison Square Garden" concert: ruclips.net/video/f12HYNKI3dw/видео.html
This song never gets old love it
Dude sure knows how to make that guitar sing. This is real rock and roll baby. Old boy on the 2nd solo was rollin with it.
That introduction.👌🏼😮
Donald 'Duck' Dunn's bass work is superb here
Awesome - Clapton is a great singer, song writer, and phenomenal with the guitar. A real good person too. Song still kicks butt in 2020
Back in '70s he was called as "God", no Stones (love them), no Beatles, none... awsome bluesman, thanks Eric, play it loud boys (and girls)
Majestic & exquisite solos by Clapton ! He is simply the best. Many could play the same notes, with exactly the same timing, but it wouldn’t sound half as good. That’s what makes Clapton great ! Amen
Tim Renwick plays just as good as Eric Clapton.
Eddie Van Halen is better than Clapton.
My God, i do so love this song, it's one of my all time favs, this is the best version!
Jonathan carter great but not as good as the undisputed best- the version from “ just one night”
Erics guitar skills blows me away, love his originality and all round regular guy just proving his talent.
Sir Eric is the only one I know who can make the guitar weep so hard without even a CryBaby.
Whale until came along 1 guy named Hendrix
Its the mid boost add on
David gilmour was very good at this too
It didn't have a mid boost circuit cos it's the 50s blackie strat
He’s using one.
I was there!!!!

@@biomushrooms Concert at Hartford Civic Center, Hartford, CT, USA on May 1, 1985 from the Behind the Sun Tour.
Mirek Goldberg Thank You
Tim was killing it
All these musicians are great.
Rip Duck And oldaker. Chris still with ThE boss
Tim played the lick out of the mind!!esp the last part of the lick.
Imo Clapton is the best guitarist of all time. He’s flawless at making that thing sing. Some of the smoothest solos of all time
No, he's not!!!!!!! Not by a long shot!!!!!!
Best build up ever. Getting goosebumps every time...
Clapton at his best !
He is the best. Love him
Donald 'duck' dun on bass ..... Wicked - he was the bass player from/in the 'blues brother' film! Did you know that!?
He's the bassist for no other than Booker T and the MGs
Yes
isnt he played on famous Booker T & The MGs song Green Onions?
Amazing. Thats all that needs to be said
Eric is the king! Never really made it about him either. Other guitarists would claimed the second solo, but he didn’t!
This dude swagger was off the charts. Nonchalantly rocking the fuck out of this classic.
I love how he freestyles all of these songs live
loving the drums on this version
Who was it? Jeff Porcaro?
@@markperroni69 I have no clue lol
@@LeFede
A friend in a Whatsapp drummer group answered me. It was Jamie Oldaker.
One of the original masters! And whoever that 2nd guitarist is is no slouch either!
Tim Renwick steal the show with this amazing and unbelievable guitar solo at the end ! first i saw this video, i believe it was mark knopfler.
I buy a mexican fender stratocaster black and white because of this video and she's become my favourite guitare since 13 years. But his default is only 21 cases ^^ (sorry for my speak, i'm french)
Great song please check out Eric Clapton - Slowhand Album Review on my channel
Tim Fenwick's playing makes me think of Zappa.
Didn't know that was Renwick, I love his playing on a couple of Al Stewart albums. Ever hear his solo at the end of the song Modern Times? That is a beauty
Clapton was never afraid to share the stage. Legend indeed.
@@stevec.9713 and it's really cool, because guitar is not competition, it's a real art :)
Masterpiece!
JJCale.
This is my favorite Eric Clapton and the raido version kickass 👍
tim renwicks solo has perfect phrasing throughout. Excellence
When you wanna get up, but your life is f....cked up, cocaine 😂😂😂
If you don't wanna die but still get high cocaine lol
🤣🤣🤣
I was at his roosevelt stadium concert when he left after a couple songs man so many bottles got thrown at the stage when roadies started breaking down the stage they started throwing the bottles back into the crowd ah good times lol
Nostalgie en een artiest van vroeger die niet verandert zijn muziek is fenomaal en icoon in de wereld
2021 let sing, legend
Sir eric clapton
That guitar solo at the end 👍👍👍
Best version bar none!
When I met my fiancé at a house party she told me she wanted to hang out, I said if you want to hang out, you gotta take her out and all she said was “cocaine”
Tell me you married her !!
this how rock n roll should sound 🙏🏼🙌🏼🖤🎶🎶🎤
Oh man that solo on they end I was in ecstasy out of this world it was so good 👍
😂
That's got to be one of the best build ups out there
Best guitarist rocker of all time.
Awesome song and great version. Love the solo at the beginning followed by the big smile at 1:15? It is like he is saying, "Oh man, we sound so good..."
mrmacho playsskylanders totally agreed!
Great song
Great British Guitarrist Sir Eric Clapton
My Father loves his Music, im 36 now. And I like it too :)
I absolutely love music by Slowhand
Why am I listening to this I’ve never done blow in my life
maybe you should start lol
This song is better than cocaine. Coke sucks ass. Eat acid instead
Pussy
@@faaaaaaaaaaack try 'em both together!
No time like the present
best guitar of all times
Love you Eric
Best Guitarist on earth
you're referring to the guy who plays the 2nd solo right? because clapton isn't even the best guitarist in the video
Effortlessly cool

Because of Eric, I'm perfectly comfortable with not dressing up like everybody else. I'm like him.😊💓
Lo más de, lo más genio total!!!!!
The only rockstar who can dress like a math teacher and still be cool
One of the best guitar players
Still 🎉
This is so good, EC! Too darn special.
The Man. Period.
Here you can listen to the greatness of JJ Cale's heritage
❤💙this should be the unofficial National Anthem of Colombia 💛💛💙❤
When Eric leaves this life the world will be a much lesser place without him.
Seems like this may have been Clapton's best lineup
Except when Albert Lee was with him just a few years before this.
@@Zoetropeification On further thought, any time Eric played with Mark Knopfler or George Harrison.
Awesome song
