Are you kidding? Are you kidding me???? These guys ROCK! WOW! What a great job on a classic Clapton tune.

that was perfect! great job guys

MUST SEE, indeed! God but this is good. The best vocal blend I've ever heard on my favorite Clapton song.

If you think these guys are killer it's because they are members of Alan Parsons Live Project sans Alan. This summer (2011) they're touring with the Happy Together tour with the Grass Roots, Association, Buckinghams, Mark Lindsay, and the Turtles. If you ever saw them with Alan Parsons, you'd be blown away. What great talents!

What an ensemble! Locked in! Can tell they genuinely love music.

actually - I love stumbling upon nice cover versions of great songs done earnestly by fine musicians...

I'll never forget the statement that Godfrey sounds more like Clapton than Clapton does. Though Clapton is one of the greatest, Godfrey also is a brilliant guitarist and very good on vocals. 😊

So good! I'm friends with Kenny Aaronson! The Yardbirds made a good choice, Best Wishes!

Damn! Love the lead guitar, the bass, keyboards, vocals, everything! This was a pleasant surprise!!

that was GREAT for a bar band - guitar player really knows his classic blues riffs. Very nice !

Awesome cover ! Guitar/Effects and piano are dead-on. Bravo!

Great harmonies! Great video. Imitation is the highest form of flattery! Well done!

EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!

this is my favorite version, excellent !!! great

It's raining here in CA and I'm checkin' out Eric's song and who do I see but my friends John and Godfrey!! Love it!!!

Love you dude ! I have loved this lead for more than 30 years! Lovely rendition

Thats the best live lead that I've ever heard! Including Clapton! Damn fine job Godfrey!! Kudos man

Very, very nice version!...

Awesome job!

awesome guys!

fantastic and totally awesome

In a word: KILLER!

I enjoyed every bit of it. Very well done.

great job! enjoyed it, the vocals were really good, we cover this one, makes me want to tighten it up

great great great !!!!!!!!!!

monster on guitar!!!!! nice job the whole band...

So the band does my whole songlist? Love it guys!

fantastic cover of one of my favorite songs ever!!

Glad we grew up as friends... and get to see you play quite a lot....... lol.... \m/

awesome job guys

GREAT JOB. Vocalist might want to double check some of the lyrics, but everybody did true justice to one of Clapton's best. NICE guitar solo-I'll be working on this one real soon!!!

Great cover!!

excellent work guys !!

It takes guts to cover this tune, one, if not my favorite Clapton tune. They do a damn fine job. I tip my hat to them.

awesome..AWESOME..exactly like Eric himself...

Some people don't feel that ANY other player is comparable to the original singer/artist/writer but one glorious thing about music is how it is open to interpretation, like any art. The Godfrey Townsend Band rocks this song and I'm sure that they consider their version an homage to Clapton, done with respect for his work. Arguing who is better is pointless. Replaying, reinterpreting, or "covering" another person's iconic music should be considered the sincerest form of flattery. It helps keep the original singer's discography alive in people's minds, perhaps enough to search out the original on iTunes or Amazon.

nicely done!

The guys ROOOOOCK!!!

enjoyed every note . TY

This tune is not easy to cover. Very nice job by those boys.

Great, great, great guys!!!

From Chicago...great job guys !!

Hot Damn Batman !!! Thanks for that !!

wish there was a board mix of this. the vocals are just dead fucking on. good job to you fellas.

Great job...! Sweet rendition of the album arrangement... loved it!

Splendid cover..is all I can say.All thumbs up!

dragonflyblu02: I've seen clapton live recently..lets not push it. When he did "Badge" I almost cried. It was THAT Pure. These guys are very good though.

i usually dont look twice at peoples cover songs on yourtube, but i listed to this and it was actually pretty good. nice work.

W o W.......Great work guys! Many Thanks from Florida.

Great cover, love the solo

great cover

Nice lead at the end. Almost as good as mine!!!!! Your harmonies were very tight! Good job!!!!!!!!

This is a superb version of my all-time favorite Eric Clapton song. Your band is excellent!

Excellent job.

this is awesome guys

Great job guys!

awesomeness

At three thirty five, you say it so clear, so strong, very tasty. I played that part over and over, man. Got the kind of squeal, pleading call of the wild, tamed by The Rain, Let It Rain, man, in notes that really are the voice of humanity and they can't all play like that. It's a big responsibility. You hit it good, man. Peace.

Excellent job.....great harmonies and great guitar solo

why you are wonderful musicians ! Merry Christmas !!!!!!!!!!!!!

otherwise, excellant rendition, good vocals, gtr, bass, & drums & keys great.. give us more. how about, "why does love got to be so sad" & "bell bottom blues.."

Nice Job! Thanks for posting!

Totally Killer!

really god !!! thanks for sharing it

nice job...

Great job, I always liked Allen Parsons, or miss gropu

Cool!

IMPROVED w/out E.C. & his band. Who do you think you are ?!!!

Very nice playing, come to Sacramento. Look at Larry Love on facebook in Sacramento, come on out.

Sons of Cream ..

piano kicks ass too

thats right, I think the same.

You guys rock! Who are you??

Awesome!! Better than Clapton live...

fucking great intro!!!!!!!!

Damn fine lead guitar work. Almost as good as me!!! Haha. .. ya right

@fenderman161 I thought they were talking about their own "improved" version...not, E.C.'s!!

Has Godfrey been playing with Kofi Baker? This is the only cover of the Bramlet version that ive ever heard.

@twodux77: This is not a philosophical debate regarding artistic interpretation. This is a labeling issue. Maybe you're right. Maybe there should be a format that includes the writer as well as the performer but for all intents and purposes that would still exclude cover bands from my search. BAND NAME/ARTIST - TITLE - WRITER (e.g. Eric Clapton - Let It Rain - Bramlett/Bramlett/Clapton). Nothing against this particular group of musicians.

Why no video love for that great keyboard player?

30 years exp here you guys did nice. little more B3 effect For me though.

whats the names of the band.. I think I went to highschool with the bass player... hahahahahaaa YEAHHH!!!!!

@Algorhythmiq Yah, I hate watching those fakes the Beatles covering Chuck Berry songs such as Roll Over Beethoven or those copycats The Byrds and Jimi Hendrix singing Bob Dylan songs. And don't get me started on Eric Clapton covering Bob Marley songs........

not bad

Who are these guys? What city are they from?

I'm not too wild about the massive chorus on the guitar, but otherwise very nice.

Goddamn Townsend, fuckin a !!!! You do a better lead than Clapton, DAMN FINE JOB bro, kudos for days, HELL YEA

There should be a completely different section for You Tube cover bands. Every title in this section should start with a differentiation (e.g. "COVER - Clapton - Let it Rain"). Simply put, it's not my intention to watch a facsimile of the artist(s) I'm searching for - regardless of how close you may come to sounding like the people you are not. Be yourselves or label your work accordingly.

man godfrey you sure your last name isnt clapton????

lose the phazer/echo or whatever the hell those effects are. They're compressing your sound and half the notes sound dead.
