Outstation East Gadd Sanchez

Amazing version with some great new blood.

I agree. Not sure where and when this performance was. Might anyone know? He did a version of Layla with this same band and Stratocaster, but I can't seem to find it now.

@@planetside11 it was in Los Angeles around 2002.

@@planetside11 Staples Center, Los Angeles, 2001 Tour. Saw the NYC show.

No, it was played too fast. Every live version of him playing it is usually too fast. It’s like he’s sick of playing it and wants to get it behind him.

I prefer the '24 Nights' version.

I like this version of Badge with the upbeat tempo and stop and go pauses between verses and bridge. Band was tight.

@@johnjohnson3709 Agree. Too fast. Sonny Emory- Gadd- Bramhall lay it down better. Gotta love Billy Preston though RIP

Agreed. Mastery level achieved with Billy Preston on Hammond B3, Steve Gadd on drums, David Sancious on various keyboards, Nathan East on bass and backing vocals, Andy Fairweather-Low, second guitar and backing vocals? Holy moly.

it seems impossible that you would be watching a video with Eric Clapton playing guitar and the drummer steals the show. I guess that is what you get when you have Steve Gadd on drums.

Hmmm....a couple of other guys Clapton played with weren't half bad either. Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker, perhaps that's why they called themselves The Cream.

@@briankorbelik2873 I don't think anyone disagrees with you, but this band has a wall of sound quality to it. Steve Gadd is just an otherworldly drummer. The guy everyone would talk about if Rush never existed.

@@robinblackmoor8732 I'm a Rush fan and I agree with this message. Neil Peart on Mr Gadd "I've tried to point out to people, a simple thing in the hands of a master is... you know, when you hear Steve Gadd play a simple rhythm, you could not write that down"

@@sodoberman Ringo Starr got a lot of criticism for his simplistic drumming. The thing his he could hold a steady beat throughout an entire song and a whole show. That is hard to do. You can measure Ringo's playing and he has perfect time. Gadd does that too, but then he goes off into that Godlike drumming that Neil Peart is famous for. Drumming is no where near as easy as men like this make it look. I can play a bit of guitar and bass. I could not play drums well to save my life.

Gadd is one of the gods! Still playing with eric tell this day.

His live performances are studio-level!

They were on fire that night !!!

The Great. STEVE GADD!!

Very underrated song love it lyrics spot on , George done this with Eric , ringo walks by says about the swans they live in the park what agigle just like that 😜

agreed

@@rickmajdowski5264 Yeah, no kidding. One of the best guitar players ever and Steve Gadd just steals the show. It does not seem possible, and all the other musicians are fantastic too, but the drumming is other worldly. I am not sure most people get that. Drummers hear it, but not sure if others get it.

In the 90's He was nominated ONE OF THE BEST GUITAR IN THE WORLD..since that I been watching, followed Him...Long life to the best guitar in the world

Great riff, for sure, but there is no most iconic, what about Smoke on the Water, whole lotta love, All right now, Layla, then of course there is Stairway. How about any Fab Four riff? Or perhaps for something a little different Bittersweet Symphony, or the drum opening riff to Rock n Roll. Theres just do many phenomenal pieces of music out there. Heres one you'd never think of, but go listen, The Blue Danube Waltz. Just enjoy without comparing

Same Here Brother...!!!

Yup, classic Clapton.

​@@robertmiller1655💯💯💯

both nights front row rip billy

that man can blow the hell out of a piano

Jeff Bibik this is one of the Best Version I’ve heard. Saw him in Vegas last month played same one..

Sure would have liked a video of George playing with him, though.

NOW THAT S A FACT

Yes a great Band of Clapton. Sounds powerful. I like the breaks in this Song and all Musican plays on Point 🤘

Yes 🎸

@@johndayton3673 , Forever CLAPTON 🙏🏻🎸🤘🏻💟☮️✝️🎵🎶💪🏻

He's good but this is a BOLD statement.

It's actually George Harrison's song.

@@fongy200 No, it was co-written by George and Eric at Eric's place. That's why it ended up coming out by Cream.

It was actually taken by Eric Clapton from George at George’s house, Eric thought the paper said “badge” but George’s sloppy hand writing said “bridge” he had written the music labeling where the bridge was, Eric thought the song name was badge, and Eric helped write the lyrics.

@@joeamato3234 I have read that it was Eric's backyard. Yes, Clapton was also reading "bridge" upside down which made Harrison laugh. In later version Eric closes the tune with "where is my Badge" ?

Sobriety has done very well for Eric!!!

I like the Bass player

He was truly great.. check out Steve in the band stuff.

Steve Gadd is one of, if not the, best rock drummers of his generation. (It's mine too😎) I do miss the long hair of our youth. At least I still have mine.

I like the keyboardist also. I’m not sure why, but this has always been a favourite song of mine. I guess the lyrics don’t make much sense. But it’s still my favourite. I never knew the title til I bought a whole box set…just to get #BellBottomBlues🎶😂🛍 Happy holidays 🎄

Don't forget the bassist...and Eric...such subtle variations...old is truly gold...so soothing

Same here still can throw myself round thekitchen listening to the best music ever

I'm 62 does it ever

Eric Clapton rocks until the end of time!!

Yes

This song only gets better every time I listen and I play this song many more times 🎶

Ditto. A good night to hear this and celebrate the end of a sad era and the beginning of what I hope will be . . . well, you get the picture, no need to go there. Just hope that the vaccine is around the corner for real . . . and we can return to seeing friends for real and remember these wonderful times of our lives. Thanks Steve.

@@joelwerth528 that outro synth solo! I'm blown away every time I hear it. you can see Claptons look of approval, with Steve Gadd just laying behind the beat.. just brilliant..

And how could I forget Sancious!

Chris Galvin Sancious is my favorite .... he was legendary at his astounding performances during Sting´s Ten Summoners Tales concerts (around 93/94)

It's a George Harrison - Eric Clapton song!!

I'm just getting to know Mr. East, anything by him u'd like to recommend Roy?

Yes. Eric Clapton , " She's Gone again " . Nathan East is on the Bass. Thank for sharing.

and hats off to Mr. Sancious, the keyboard player. take a look at that keyboard/synth solo, that's beyond human and also beautiful

+vickeybird his band Four Play..

Indeed, always love how Nathan rolls that bass..

Michel Futerko Clapton was with George and Patty in their backyard when George wrote “Here Comes the Sun” (EC’s biography)

Remember when Clapton was GOD???

@@richardcone261 Clapton is God. He has to be. You ever see God and Clapton together at the same time?

you bet

Plays you right out of the solar system and back again, but changed forever, y'know...piercing by strings.

iron maiden I have a name *Prince*

Yup

Best comment ever.

Hi s Bass player is unreal just listen to him

Two good friends of Slowhand. Billy and George. RIP.

Some of the best musicians in the world, literally! 😮

@@Larriex97 Indeed

@giri kotte Mate, not in any way trying to start a fight, but i think i misunderstood you (probably 'cause my bad english). By saying " He isn't nearly as great a guitarist or a musician" did you mean Clapton is not a great guitarist/musician?

You are correct, sir! This stage group is phenomenal!

All the comments disappeared. ???

Still today (2020) the best!

You very pretty Jess.

Duane Allman?

Why rest ?

@@matthewhelander9800 He died in 2006

Sancious not Sanchez, not being critical just correcting.

@@honeywoodpilot I ain't mad.. thanks! ✌️😁

I saw this road show in Portland-outstanding

I saw Cream at the Albert Hall and the band did Badge but I prefer the Portland version

Try the Cream Reunion in Royal Albert Hall version

Best aerobics song goes to...

raw energy🎉

Nathan East!

Nathan has been playing with Eric for a long time

Fender. Ou Gibson. Au choix. 🎼🎸
