Even The Who’s version was a cover. Sonny Boy Williamson wrote and recorded it in ‘51. But I know what you mean and agree with you wholeheartedly. There’s something a bit special with The Who featuring Eric Clapton and a cameo from Arthur Brown.
@@GrilloTheFlightless Good point! Of course it's a cover... I guess I would have made the same omission with Shakin' all over or Summertime Blues. Watching this again, I'm even beginning to think Tommy might actually be a better movie than I initially thought.
That's not an Eric Clapton song...that's The Who feat. Eric Clapton...The Who!!!! Produced By. Pete Townshend...it's a cover version, the original song is from "Sonny Boy Williamson II"
@@Stoteles1 All of this is cristal clear I would say. But considering that Clapton is singing the lead vocals and playing the lead guitar, this version is a Clapton song. Period.
Tommy was a great movie, and this sequence, & song has always been one of the coolest parts in the film. Ken Russell is a phenomenal director, along with The Who, and all the other fantastic musicians in it, how can you go wrong. Great Stuff. Bob. G
Ken Russell directed Altered States..... another trippy flick......Lystomania.....Rikk Wakeman as a Viking.....May from Zardoz was hot as a she devil...
@@patdisaster8543 Check out a Russel film called Lair of the White Worm if you haven't already...it'll mess w/your head and after watching, you'll never unsee it.
I heard that Arthur Brown was supposed to be singing the whole song, which would have been brilliant -Arthur’s voice with Clapton’s guitar. However, Ken Russel (for reasons known only to himself) didn’t like Arthur Brown and cut him down to a very small part. Pete Townsend, who was a fan of Arthur Brown and pretty much got him his first record deal, fought hard to keep Arthur in the film. If Ken Russel had got his way Arthur wouldn’t have been in it at all.
@@emilyoshiro The bass on that LP was Nick Greenwood, and was produced by Kit Lambert, although I understand that Townsend did make a number of suggestions. There was pressure from the record company to add electric guitar to a number of tracks and Townsend encouraged Crazy World to stick to their guns and not use one. I’ve hears stories that Townsend suggested the use of horns on Fire, but I’ve also heard elsewhere that this was Lamberts idea. Who knows.
Clapton was a pioneer of electric guitar. He's a major figure in the history of popular music, a very good songwriter who can definitely sing, but he wasn't even the best singer in Cream.
@@TheInkPitOx Yes I know, I saw this movie. She is still today a sex symbol and one of the most imitated icons. I have always liked Marilyn. I heard another version of this song, always played and sung by Eric Clapton who is even better than this (sorry my English)
My God, this is outrageous. I can't this film was given a PG rating! Oddly enough, I didn't much like it when I saw it in the theater in the 1970s ( I think I was about 15 or so). But now it holds up very well. A movie like this could never get made today, or if it DID get released, it would be a cult film. But as I recall, it was a big hit back in the day.
there's another version of this song on here and its a semi tone (almost) up from this one. this one is in my opinion the right speed, the other tricky with the guitar to play along with. iain w glasgow
Johnny Walker red and barbiturates as holy communion.... fuckin' wicked....this on cable in morning on summer break...as a ten year old kid....teach em' young..
That's not an Eric Clapton song...that's The Who feat. Eric Clapton...The Who!!!! Produced By. Pete Townshend...it's a cover version, the original song is from "Sonny Boy Williamson II"
Not a chance this is like on of the original music videos if you think about it before MTV. I saw it on Broadway and also love the studio album. Hate to tell ya it just means you don't get it and you have bad taste .....sorry 🤷♀️

I wish the soundtrack version included Arthur Brown
He brought the fucking thunder on this track!
Arthur Brown is my favorite rock vocalist.
One of the best songs of Clapton and one of the very few improvements over the Who's originals.

Yeah if you like listening to the minor blues scale the entire time. Bleh, lazy playing.

god damn it, arthur brown letting loose! so goood
Yasss
John Entwistle's killer bassline
Makes the song for me !! Always loved it , always will ❤❤❤❤

This was some real deep s**t for back then.
Russell is an amazing film maker, him and Kubrick's stuff is unmatched.

This is FUNKY as heck!!!! Clapton is as cool as ice but Arthur Brown TOOK THIS!!! He brought the FIRE!!!!
One of my favorite parts of this movie!!!

Pete produced and played bass on Arthur Brown’s first lp

But then we wouldn't have had Clapton's beautiful voice
Ken was wrong, though the Clapton Brown colab that resulted is a gift to us all.
Never see'n it before, very surprized.
I think there was a real perfomance and real musicians, like no today.
Brown's scream is the grandfather of heavy metal
...Arthur Brown (the Inspiration for Alice) had the Best Screams!!!
Alice also borrowed from Jim Morrison. Another great screamer.
Who's Alice?
@@TheInkPitOx You really wouldn't understand.
@@scowlfarm3061 Alice in Chains, Alice in Wonderland, Alice Cooper?
Probably for Kiss too
just said....Wow i love this video and performance
The best song for tommy 🎸
Desde 1976 que vejo este filme. Não sei onde há o corte pois sempre está cena esteve presente.
My dad told me Eric Clapton is one of the greatest singers ever . His best song was Crossroads.1968 .
With Cream
Only artist to be inducted to the Hall of Fame three times (solo, Cream, and Yardbirds)
Clapton was a pioneer of electric guitar. He's a major figure in the history of popular music, a very good songwriter who can definitely sing, but he wasn't even the best singer in Cream.
@@Hydrocorax Cream was one of the best bands of all time
love the funky drumming in church
Eric Clapton... just wow !!!
The goddess Marilyn ... well, why not? She is timeless
At the time she was still a sex symbol, so they were depicting her as an idol (a play on a Hollywood idol vs. a religious idol).
@@TheInkPitOx Yes I know, I saw this movie. She is still today a sex symbol and one of the most imitated icons. I have always liked Marilyn. I heard another version of this song, always played and sung by Eric Clapton who is even better than this (sorry my English)
@@starnight6134 Your English is fine.
@@TheInkPitOx thank you !
2:57 communion of sleeping pills and whiskey CLEVER KEN!
How do we know what kind of pills they are?
the blue one
Listen to the song “Golden Serpent” by Bruce Cockburn, then listen to this …it’s amazing how well the two songs go together thematically and musically
what a gem
One of the first public appearances of Clapton's famous Strat - Blackie.
Like a scene from eyes wide shut.
My God, this is outrageous. I can't this film was given a PG rating!

Ann was only 3 years older than Roger. This was the 70s version of the Manchurian Candidate with Angela Lansbury and Laurence Harvey.
there's another version of this song on here and its a semi tone (almost) up from this one. this one is in my opinion the right speed, the other tricky with the guitar to play along with. iain w glasgow
Arthur Brown’s voice sounds like Beef in "phantom of the paradise"
Johnny Walker red and barbiturates as holy communion.... fuckin' wicked....this on cable in morning on summer break...as a ten year old kid....teach em' young..
Dei uma viajada curtindo esse som, e não precisei nem de drogas.
Clapton excelled in Tommy
60 year old me realizing FINALLY that Tommy is there to smash all the icons
Best Rock and Roll scream ever recorded
Eric Clapton é foda.
I love Eric Clapton and I love Marilyn Monroe
crazy`world`of`rock`n`roll,but`freedom`at`point`zero.inedit`eric`clapton.please`to`meet`you.,
After midnight we’re gonna let it all hang out
On N. Maplewood Ave. a little south of Peterson Ave, Chicago.
L. Carracio that is all I will say of this now.
Ken Russell was definitive of his time.
I love this so hard and I was the last one to know
Arthur Brown's character is derived from Rasputin...
😇GVB❤ "Boundaries ".❤
Andy Warhol would've 💘 this.
Pier Paolo Pasolini too.
some of Claptons best work imho..
Genius-ville! 11 outta 10's-ville!
I always wondered who that crazy looking hippie was
Could you reupload without the subtitles?
Interesting,, they are all being given the 'Blue Pill' and Marilyn's dress is laid out like Saturn.
I think Arthur would have played a great Rasputin.
please change the title...thanks
I love Eric Clapton, but I love Marilyn Monroe too
priest eric clapton LoL XD
So many bloopers. No cymbals on Keith's kit, no strings (!) on Eric's Guitar... and of course, young brown-eyed Tommy suddenly has blue eyes.
oh and Clapton changes from a sunburst Gibson to the Blackie telecaster somehwere in there... in the middle of the song
+CK Martin ...with the help of his guitar technician
That's not an Eric Clapton song...that's The Who feat. Eric Clapton...The Who!!!! Produced By. Pete Townshend...it's a cover version, the original song is from "Sonny Boy Williamson II"
Esta música foi cortada do filme pela censura, Vai entender....
A Golden Nugget
Greandioso.
Stephen Hawking at 5:08?
Not really…just another brilliant use of damaged people.
u guess right
Baldrick singing :)
What the last church on earth will be during the final days before super nova.
Dynamite
sooooo
cinnnamominnn
Clapton is stuck in the min/maj blues scales. Please, for the love of god, use a different set of notes! A min gives you a lot of options
gett thisnoff the air its mot it

mrs tina turner aka MAAD MAAX TINA TURNER THUNDER DOM
Letra machista bem a cara de Clapton sexista
bukkshit
probably the stupidest movie ever, except for maybe the Quadropheenia movie
No way..... Lystomania on the other hand.
Not a chance this is like on of the original music videos if you think about it before MTV. I saw it on Broadway and also love the studio album. Hate to tell ya it just means you don't get it and you have bad taste .....sorry 🤷♀️
sorry for you, worst movie ever, Ken Russell was a high idiot
Well that was bizarre as Hell
