- Nathan East with Clapton band, rehearsal for Saturday Night Live, March 24, 1990. Eric (guitar), Nathan (bass), Greg Phillinganes (keyboards), Steve Ferrone (drums), Phil Palmer (guitar). Video is a bit grainy, but nice behind-the-scenes footage nonetheless-- the stuff you never really get to see.

God I loved this era of Claptons career. My favorite
Greatest era of EC's career! Best singing, playing, and OMG that band!
Legend. I love this Clapton’s era 80s-90s.
best era of claptan and soldano amps best sound he ever had
I like that and his little recording amp lol. total opposite but sick tone.
Apparently he had the master volume on 10 on these suckers.
F 2020. I want to go back 30 years.
Great sound. Love Nathan and Eric.
I do miss this time frame. SLO 100
best version ive heard, clapton the most tastefull player on earth
I know this is way past due Nathan you and Eric are 2 peas in a pod. I think you two together can do anything. I will be at the Columbus show and can't wait. Lady in the Balcony with you and Chris and Steve was pure magic I have the CD and DVD.I am watching my favorites right now I would love to meet you and the band and personally thank you.
What a Legend, I saw Eric Clapton and Cream in the late 60's, still amazing at 68 y.o.
Saw Cream in 68 Have never not been a Clapton fan
I'm sad it's ten years later, meaning Eric is ten years older and nearer retirement 😢
Awesome as in this version he let it be and play one of the greatest versions I've see in a while!
Phil Palmers Session Man book brought me here.. Great reading..
I love that gray strat . Some of his best playing came from that one . My fav era was 85-92’ ish era .
I think he was at the height of his skills in this period. Such a powerful talent.
Yes he was at his best in the late 80s till mid 90s 👌
He is master of the pentatonic scale
*Who else is here after G.E. Smith interview.*
I can neither confirm nor deny.
So what Tweed was Smith referring to?
I'm here because i was always curious to see/confirm a tale once told to me 12 years ago about how Clapton made SLO100 famous with his Saturday Night Live gig.
@@johannherveux1490 What is SLO100?
@@berkc06 His amp, Soldano SLO100, a legendary amp.
Look at 2:59 Nathan East's face after Eric's little mistake, priceless!!
+Neto xD could it be correct )?
+Alexander Fors no it's definitely a mistake. He just slid back to the wrong note
I love it! Even the masters make mistakes.
Cracked up the whole band! What mistake? It was a brief rushed rehearsal... even the greatest like EC & EVH blow it in situations like that - EC more than made up for the 'mistake' in his solo! LOL!
see how the keyboard tried to cover the mistake
I just love these humble friends ❤ Forever Fan
Through the years, I have come to greatly appreciate Eric Clapton. What I did not know was how far back the collaboration between Nathan East and Eric went until recent times. I saw Four Play in Atlanta in the mid 90's and Nathan was playing. I have followed his career since then, including with Eric Clapton and others. The first LP album I ever purchased was 461 Ocean Boulevard in 1974. Incredibly talented players!
He always smiles/laughs when he makes a mistake (or at least a mistake in his eyes) OR when he or someone else does something he really likes)
Wow, great upload. made my night!
What a present !! Thanks !!
5:00 Priceless. I think if I ever met Clapton, I wouldn't even bug him for a picture or autograph, I'd just say "Thank You". After I was done pissing myself, that is.
explain.
At 5:00 someone must have done something funny that he saw, because he almost had to stop singing, He was trying to hold back a laugh.
Absolutely love how Eric laughed when he deviated from the original opening riff of _Pretending._ Nathan & Eric have been really good friends for a long time.
2:55 the man is mortal. There's hope for me!
I love watching these videos from camera blocking. It's so cool to see them feel out what they are going to do for the live show. You can picture Joe Disco hollering at the camera ops while they are finding their looks. Very cool.
damn i was born the day this was filmed lol time flies
The funny thing is, Steve Ferrone, his drummer, once worked with the SNL band for most of the 1985-1986 season, trading places with Chris Parker until Chris wound up being the permanent drummer midway through the 1986-1987 season.
Heard some of “Pretending” in there 👌🏼
On fire!
Awesome
Wow. Nathan goes way back with Eric.
what a guitar player
Fab! A real find. TU
What a nice people…
Soldano amp and Lace pups...made for each other😊
That guitar (or one of his just like it) hung in the Cleveland Hard Rock Cafe in the late 90's. I took my gf there for dinner one time...I don't remember a word she said or what she was wearing...but that gunmetal silver strat will forever be etched into my brain! I stared at it the whole time....I think she thought I wanted to have dinner with it more than her. I sure do miss...that guitar.
cool video
nice
Yeah..Nate..and that's the Great Ferrone on drums yeah
He laughs a lot in the post 90's.
Unmentioned is the fact that he was battling the flu when doing the SNL show. He’s a hard working pro.... tenacious with a great work ethic.
Air Clapton performance!.😉🇬🇧
Nathan Easts Bands w/EC ware the shit!!
We saw this tour. I know this is rehearsal. Telling you what though, that was a grand tour. My wife wife got to see eric about 5 times live. I saw a couple more than her before we met.
Ditto in London.
Maybe more enjoyable than Pretending is the informal blues jam they mess around with for a minute or so at the beginning. Phil Palmer is an inspired guitar player in his own right and Greg Phillinganes is just a delicious keyboard player, hits all the right notes - not too many, not too few, for my money he's the goldilocks of commercial blues keyboard players.
I love that you called Grerg "delicious". What a great adjective lol.
If anyone has "Wonderful Tonight" from the actual broadcast, would they please upload it? thanks in advance
this is great stuff. I love the practice sessions you rarely get a glimmer of. My memory of "No Alibis" is that it was one of the most disappointing performances I've seen of EC. But, as hot as this practice run was, the final performance was on fire. Clapton played the rave up at the end instead of Nathan, and you can see him say to Nathan "Was that better?" So, I think they knew they sucked on the 1st tune(No Alibis). But it sure lit the fire afterward.
Eric's rig is a dream come true. Soldano SLO into a Marshall 4x12 loaded with EVM 12L speakers? mmmm mmmmm mmmmmmmmmmm
Jake Stewart Music I’ve just watched an interview with G E Smith on RUclips where he talks about loaning Eric an old beat up but great sounding amp for the SNL show. I wonder if it was this show 🤔
I remember they also did "No Alibis" which was a better take, Eric had a great rig on this tour.
the Wonderful Tonight from this show was the best version it can ever be.. if anyone has the clip please upload it. thank you.
faizal bahri Absolutely! the other two songs too. I had video taped all three songs off SNL that night, and then when I moved a few years later, I somehow lost it... To me, it might have been the best Clapton I ever saw, and I'm a huge Clapton fan and lead guitarist myself.
Glad to hear you two say this. In my mind when I think of the best live playing of Clapton, I always think about this SNL appearance. I had it on video tape and lost it to the sands of time. I recall Clapton giving Nathan a high five after one of the songs, I think he knew he was on fire that night.
nathan & james play the bass exactly the same. if you'd swap out one for the other you could never tell
OMG! He is human!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great vid, love that entrance on the piano to pretending!
¿ Quien es el otro teclista?
jump to 2:30
Anybody know if he had any pedals on the floor there besides a wah?
simply3141592654 Don’t think so, think he’s just using the wah and channel switching the Soldano.
Plus the mid-boost on the strat
Is that Mr. Phil Palmer on the red strat ?!?
I feel better now that I saw him make a blunder. I only saw him mess up that bad only one other time.
I have as critical an ear as anyone. I've been listening to him for over 50 years.
(Yes, it hurts when I type it ... but I was here for the best) and have heard him miss perhaps ... what ? ... less times than one can count on two hands ... and that's counting rehearsals and live performances. There's only one guitar player I NEVER heard choke even once ... it just flowed through him somehow. Stevie Ray .... I heard Eric say it himself. He didn't seem to need to stop and think. It simply poured out.
Kevin Anton
I saw him live twice. Totally flawless.
MrRightwingextreme Stevie or Eric. I caught Eric Clapton with Cream, but, alas, never got to see SRV. Great to have Vids of him to see and hear.
+Kevin Anton I saw srv, and brother, he was the genuine article...11 months before we lost him. he meant every note, and is still the only guitar player I ever saw that broke 3 strings in one show.
never saw Clapton tho.... not which era I prefer most, but he and srv peaked around the same time IMO.
Fake Urban Meyer He's one I didn't have the opportunity to see ... poor guy.
I have heard and watched much in the way of recordings ... I must say he's one who I never heard miss ... & I have a very critical ear.
As for the strength of his hands & fingers, (breaking strings) I heard that Jeff Beck was plunking on his guitar once and handed it right back to him saying "I cawn't play this bloody thing."
I don't imagine he could. Stevie Ray ... again, I heard ... read ... I wasn't standing there ... he used to play until he rubbed off his callouses ... then would glue them back on with _super glue._
Having spoken with his brother Jimmy on a few occasions, I can figure it. (no, he wouldn't remember me today ... I used to take photos of him in a club with a Polaroid ... years later, he asked me if he could have some of them ... it was the very least I could do)
Jimmy mentioned little brother at least twice.
It damn sure helped to have Jimmy as an older brother ... back then, Jimmy could play his ass off .... really very good.
I still play wonderful tonight like he did on this show. people come up to me and say "wow i like your version better". they freak out when i tell them its actually erics new version. incidentally, hes gone back to doing it the original way. i think his new version was better.
The audio is barely there even with both RUclips and my computer turned all the way up. Wish that could be fixed.
Anyone know who the 2nd guitarist is? Great blues player in his own right .... And that keyboard player is just soooo tasty!
Michael Thompson
My mistake...it's Phil Palmer..not Michael
Thank you kind sir, gonna look him up!
On keyboards the great Greg Philinganes, who also played with Michael Jackson, Toto, Donald Fagen and many others.
It's incredible to me that this audiovideo quality was once considered "the norm". It's practically unwatchable. (I remember black and white TVs...)
Mike Austin "And..YOU LIKED IT !!"
holy shit !! clapton fucked up, never seen this before !!! Nathans face !!!!
This must've been right after his son's death. Can't imagine how he's feeling.
Before. His son died in 1991.
just a little Tense
do they talk at all?
I don´t think he sucks, i think he was just walking to a different spot with the camera, they do that all the time during live tv...
2:56 Ah-ha! Nathan IS human after all!
Can't hear it!
Is the camera person stoned, or what?
i think they were laughing at themselves because they rarely make that kind of mistake
this is what musicians do when nobody's looking... there's still musicians.
let that be a lesson for you wannabes.
Milo Take that!
🐊- male bitches! -🐊
For one it was total SD quality and the focus from the camera is awful. The audio sounds ok, but compare this to Live Aid 5 years earlier and such a 100x more to focus on. I keep watching the 3 songs from Eric in Live Aid and it is breath taking. The A/V was absolutely great and the camera focus made this look like an early camera recording in 1970. I know it's just a rehearsal, but an iPhone today could get better quality video. So disappointing.
It was camera blocking for the show on Saturday. Not supposed to be pro shot, bruh.
Song at 1:30?
greg had hair, by the time he was with toto he was bald!
*Why is Nathan East lookin' like Denzel Washington?* What? No? Aight, perhaps it's just me.
its ok to laught you no ? pffts
why didnt the record sound this soulful and groove show? sterile....
Gotta keep Nathan East away from those cheezeburgers and fried chicken. He was thin back then but he has to weigh 350 lbs now. Great bassist
So I guess clapton isnt god after all lol
