  • 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.

    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!

    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.

  • @HobbitMadness

    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.

    @StratmanRickyD 11 лет назад

    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.

I recall Clapton giving Nathan a high five after one of the songs, I think he knew he was on fire that night.

      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 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.

    • @SkeletonKeey
      @SkeletonKeey 7 лет назад

      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.

    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.
