Still rocks and with a lot of energy!!! I have never heard a cleaner and more concise guitarist than Eric Clapton. Surprisingly, he has out lived all of the other guitar legends of his time; therefore it is arguably said, "Clapton is guitar God". I could not attend this concert due to work, but I listened to 70's Clapton instead. Thanks for the posted video from a jealous fan. Keep Rockin' !!! See you in September !!!
I was there - GREAT show!!! Clapton is simply amazing - on a different level from everyone else. But, Gary Moore Jr. is an incredible, young talent. He was blistering on that GIbson during his 30 min warm-up act. And, who doesn't love Jimmy Vaughn and his Texas twang blues! Highlight of my year thus far!
Look at Gary's sideways glance in the first solo, when he quotes Clapton's own IV-chord lick from the Unplugged "Before You Accuse Me" right back at him. That takes talent and guts. It's nice to know he grew up listening to the same records I did. I think Eric recognized it too! That's the thing people forget-when people say they've heard all Clapton's licks before, it's because 5,000 guitarists over the last 40 years learned half of what they know from him. It's hard to hear him with fresh ears today and remember that he really was an innovator in his own right, not just a white dude copying off Buddy Guy. Sooner or later the Survivor's Curse will set in and we'll hear him age in ways giants Hendrix never did. But he was and is a guitar master in ways people forget.
Luke Maynard you're correct. That's where I "borrowed most of my licks from EC. Just one song carries so many great licks. String them together, make them yours and there u go. FYI just listened to 9 hrs of his autobiography. Really good book.
Thank you for sharing friend. God Bless ! May they live long , enjoy good health , continue what they do best and enjoy themselves. It will be wrong to ask for more from them. Its still a fact that they give the younger ones run for their money even today!
Been into EC my entire life. Got into Jimmie Vaughn when the album 'Family Style' came out with his brother SRV who was my idol at the time. I recently discovered Gary Clark Jr. during the early pandemic lockdowns/shutdowns in 2020. Now somehow RUclips's algorithm pushed this upon me. Usually I fear the algorithm... usually.
Two guys from Texas and no stops in Austin. Not buying it. Easy enough to stop in our great city. Doyle Bramhall is here as well. And for the record. Bobby Whitlock who sounds amazing and plays as good as ever is also a local. He plays at the Saxon Pub. Playing on 3/25 if you're interested. How about just getting yourself down here Eric and doing the guy finally a solid. Respect but how about some for Texas and Bobby.
You gotsta have balls to solo when Clappers is on stage. Gary did quite well tho. Great little solo. Very rootsy. Kinda a early Chicago sound. No need to kill with a thousand notes. Just lay back and take your time...
The Clapton signature Stratocaster is easily the highest output guitar in the world. At its most powerful level it has 50 times higher output than a Gibson Les Paul. In its weakest position it has 11 times higher output than a Gibson Les Paul.
Jimmie Vaugh did for sure have a rough time on stage with two guitarists way outta his league. He's there of one reason, and that's respect for SRV. Just my opinion. Btw, Gary Clark Junior nailed it as well, and that was easy to read at EC's smilin' face. Luv n blues from Denmark
I met him after a show a couple years ago. I'm 6'1 and with his cowboy hat on he towered over me, but when a fan behind me asked him... he did say 6' 4 like someone here mentioned.
For those of you who are slagging Jimmie or don't know who Otis is. He was one of Eric's main influence. His Cobra records from 1956-58 are amazing. He was 22. Both Jimmie and Gary got their starts at Antone's. ruclips.net/video/hLvg1lA79pw/видео.html
Thank you for posting Jim ! I've been a Clapton fan for over 45 years. I got tickets for September show at MSG. Can't wait ! What did you use to shoot this video ?
Let’s see what YOU’VE got before you go bad mouthing Jimmie. I’ve met him. He’s low key, modest, and more chill than I’ll ever be, despite having played with guitar gods. I’ve got his back.
actually, Stevie always said that Jimmie was the better player. Jimmie's older stuff with the Thunderbirds is great. Unfortunately, after Stevie died, he swore to never outplay his brother, because he didn't want him to be forgotten. He rarely plays to his full potential anymore but when he does... hot damn he can play.
I read some old interview a few years back and it kind of stuck with me. Jimmies one of my favorites now lol. I honestly don’t remember where or when it was from.
Clark cracked up at around 1.53..... Clapton was nearly pissing himself with his back to the audience at around 2.25...Poor Mr Vaughn having a nightmare shitter at the worst possible time.......Nerves maybe...And who can blame him in the company of....... God.
I'm planning to sell my tickets for his last concert, Sept 8th at MSG. It's a day before my birthday but since Ringo is going on tour I would rather see him then see Eric. Did Eric give a good show and what songs did he play? Layla is my favorite and I would be very disappointed if he didn't perform it.
Yes. Specially after saying this...lol. What I mean is: I don´t see anything special in his playing. When he plays besides Clapton, the difference becomes very evident: I see a guitar virtuoso vs. a mediocre player.

If your playing a solo and Eric is smiling . You got them Blues right Baby !
Eric’s tone & playing is so fluid... absolutely superb, the guy is a total legend!
Bunch of geniuses on stage! Everyone of them killed it! I feel so left out of the loop for just now finding this!!!

Mag Num Jeff Beck?
Jimmy Vaughn sucks.
Yes, is brother was the good one...
That's putting it mildly. He's F$%^&*G AWFUL!!!!!!!!!
@ 1:55 notice Gary Clark starts laughing.
Jeff Beck still going strong into his 70s now and sounds better than ever IHO.
I was there - GREAT show!!! Clapton is simply amazing - on a different level from everyone else. But, Gary Moore Jr. is an incredible, young talent. He was blistering on that GIbson during his 30 min warm-up act. And, who doesn't love Jimmy Vaughn and his Texas twang blues! Highlight of my year thus far!
It's Gary Clark Jr. He is amazing.
Agreed-variable for my money but when he's good he's very good-and he's good here.Also...extremely tall!!!!
Michael DiGiovacchino ..or narrow. .
Amazing music, I love this song and Eric Clapton is a monster on stage ,always a pleasure to ears him playing
Long live Eric Clapton!!!

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️
Perfect.Excellent camera work..
Been into EC my entire life. Got into Jimmie Vaughn when the album 'Family Style' came out with his brother SRV who was my idol at the time. I recently discovered Gary Clark Jr. during the early pandemic lockdowns/shutdowns in 2020. Now somehow RUclips's algorithm pushed this upon me. Usually I fear the algorithm... usually.
I love Eric so much
Certainly such an amazing tone and his vibrato is exquisite
However, does look like he is struggling to play,slowhand even slower
👌👍💖

One of the best...love this
This is it man.....I want in.....even if I'm not qualified......
You gotsta have balls to solo when Clappers is on stage. Gary did quite well tho. Great little solo. Very rootsy. Kinda a early Chicago sound. No need to kill with a thousand notes. Just lay back and take your time...
Slowwwwww Hand! Eric Clapton! Enough said! Shawn.
Still the Master
Gary's Boot game is Always fresh
Awesome!!!!
Vamos clapton te esperamos en Argentina. Nos falta musica de la buena
Thank you guy's. Love it lol Marilee
hell yeah!
JV. still learning how to play in his 60's. There, I said it! RIP SRV.
The Clapton signature Stratocaster is easily the highest output guitar in the world. At its most powerful level it has 50 times higher output than a Gibson Les Paul. In its weakest position it has 11 times higher output than a Gibson Les Paul.
jesus how tall is gary clark jr?!
Jimmie seems to be having a tough time :/
Jimmie Vaugh did for sure have a rough time on stage with two guitarists way outta his league. He's there of one reason, and that's respect for SRV. Just my opinion. Btw, Gary Clark Junior nailed it as well, and that was easy to read at EC's smilin' face. Luv n blues from Denmark
He's 6'4 lol
That is the dumbest thing i have heard today. Dhedk out the early Thunderbirds records, Jimmie Vaughan is the shit!
I met him after a show a couple years ago. I'm 6'1 and with his cowboy hat on he towered over me, but when a fan behind me asked him... he did say 6' 4 like someone here mentioned.
Gary Clark is 7'10".
jimmy looks classy.
For those of you who are slagging Jimmie or don't know who Otis is. He was one of Eric's main influence. His Cobra records from 1956-58 are amazing. He was 22. Both Jimmie and Gary got their starts at Antone's. ruclips.net/video/hLvg1lA79pw/видео.html
would luv to see beck clapton and page preform nowadays would be an honor and meet them backstage....
wow !!!
TV Mama!
Erick Clapton el buen mano lenta es la mera verdolaga 👍👌
1:55 what the fuck is that crap?! Even *I* can do *that*
Thanks Jim
Jimmie Vaughan with totally gray hair! Miss that slick back black pompadour!
J’y étais et quel show!
Thank you for posting Jim ! I've been a Clapton fan for over 45 years. I got tickets for September show at MSG. Can't wait ! What did you use to shoot this video ?
Hey, EC, where's that E9 again?! :-)
Haha he had a senior moment
@@MattyBEightyThree haha, yup. A mere mortal after all!
is that chris stainton on keys?
Always.
Nathan East on Bass!!! !!!!
Stick with rhythm playing Jimmie, with all due respect
Let’s see what YOU’VE got before you go bad mouthing Jimmie. I’ve met him. He’s low key, modest, and more chill than I’ll ever be, despite having played with guitar gods. I’ve got his back.
he's not bad mouthing him just making an observation is all. he was having a hard time but we all get to that point... sooner or later!
Thank you Eric lol Marilee
Jimmie Vaughn sounds pretty good for a guy who just started playing guitar. Unfortunately he's been playing for 50 years.
To add insult to injury Gary Clark Jr. has only been play guitar for only 20 years and look he's pulling off solos like that.
actually, Stevie always said that Jimmie was the better player. Jimmie's older stuff with the Thunderbirds is great. Unfortunately, after Stevie died, he swore to never outplay his brother, because he didn't want him to be forgotten. He rarely plays to his full potential anymore but when he does... hot damn he can play.
Strat. Attack13 👌 fair enough.
Strat. Attack13 Then again is there a source to look at?
I read some old interview a few years back and it kind of stuck with me. Jimmies one of my favorites now lol. I honestly don’t remember where or when it was from.
Clark cracked up at around 1.53..... Clapton was nearly pissing himself with his back to the audience at around 2.25...Poor Mr Vaughn having a nightmare shitter at the worst possible time.......Nerves maybe...And who can blame him in the company of....... God.
At the end of that song Eric smiles and says with a smile I've beaten ya all
I'm planning to sell my tickets for his last concert, Sept 8th at MSG. It's a day before my birthday but since Ringo is going on tour I would rather see him then see Eric. Did Eric give a good show and what songs did he play? Layla is my favorite and I would be very disappointed if he didn't perform it.
Jimmie Vaughan playing with just two fingers, apparently...! But it's not exactly Django..!
Gary is a epic figure in his own write but I hope he knew how fkken lucky he was to be with these 2 guys this day. Damn,
Vaughan*
Damn... clapton makes jimmie and gary look like amateurs.
10!
Clapton !!
Mille *************
Renaud
Anyone else throw up when Vaughn did that solo?
It seems that Jimmie allways has been a beginner.
please Jimmie, stop
Lol Marilee
Bug stworzył Erica gitarę i bluesa mrek
Rzeka?
Could they not find a shittier audio version than this?
Yes Jimmy is the weakest link here. Garry Clark held his own though...
I don´t like Jimmie Vaughan
Manuel Alejandro I doubt he likes you...
Yes. Specially after saying this...lol. What I mean is: I don´t see anything special in his playing. When he plays besides Clapton, the difference becomes very evident: I see a guitar virtuoso vs. a mediocre player.
Manuel Alejandro yeah he's not so good.
SRV > EC
Get lost
