Yes, 'happy accidents' make music great

I would say it wasn’t an accident, but Steve was trying to break him out of his laziness.

Top 3 drummers of all time on my list..he is a bad man

I want to punch the people who say he doesn’t have chops.

As a non drummer, I have so much admiration for Steve G here. Ever since I first heard this version I was sold on him. It's as if he plays ever so slightly behind the beat? And the way he is so in sync with Eric (and vice versa) - espy at the start of the main solo when Eric hits that note!

Came in too early on Eric’s outro solo. No train wrecks. Solid performance.

@@duffrox1964And that is what always brings me back besides all the awesome performances. I was trying to explain how the horns read Eric instead of the fill and I’m pretty sure she doesn’t need me to talk music for a while. I wonder if this sticks with Gadd or he can just shake it off next song because he’s Steve Gadd.

This one and the long solo in Old Love later into this same concert.

@@vicbarrett540 they are beautiful !

I agree

aother 2k views comming from me safe^^

Old love was perfect

quite a few understands it more but yeah, hes great.

That's soooooo true it's like a movie a true masterpiece

@@tbeee6168 and who may that be ??

Maybe Derek Trucks?

Eric and Derek Trucks come to mind on this. Both two of my heroes and I definitely try to take that to use in my playing.

What’s it called? When? This version is amazing.

@@MattFoleysGhost Clapton at Hyde Park 1996

I need that.

Subtle flex

It's been 8 years this guy is probably dead bless his soul

i dont think u realize what happened ... the drummer started the outro early and clapton kept doing the lick over and over again so the band could reestabilish time ...thats why he smiles back at him after saving it ...

watch garry moore Still Got the Blues

@@tisoychuy8433 Yeah, Gary is in my top3 for sure. I bought a Gary Moore cd collection many years ago, I still listen to all of them frequently. My favourites are "After Hours" "Blues for Greeny" and obviously "Still got the blues" . Gary was wonderful, huge loss.

@@matitheteacher yeah. everyday I played Still got the Blues. Eric is one of my favorites too.

@@matitheteacher lo que me transmite Eric Clapto no lo ha hecho ningún otro guitarrista. Y eso que he escuchado de todo un poco.

no el mejor pero por ahi

ㄷㄸㅊ

I still get chills watching this and I have many many many times!! Just the best ! Period

CrustyCurmudgeon

CrustyCurmudgeon Steve is my drumming idol, seriously I used to think he was overrated then as I got older I started noticing how much of a damn groove god he is, and I started slowly picking up TONS of gems in his playing. He is also one of the most recorded drummers ever, played with damn near everyone including their mother! Lol He is my idol!

7:10 is what you're talking about, aren't you? Just noticed that. They're beyond great!

@@prathameshbhambure yes sir... They play it off so smoothly, I didnt notice it the first several times I listened. As a musician myself, I cant tell you how spot on you have to be to save a song like this

@@jacobagee1343 They have been playing for so long it's like they can read each other's mind.

Yeah ur right, he had to keep wanking that bend to keep the flow! hahah

Lies again? HDB HDP Heart Pain

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y7GChtN-nbjJmqc.html try this one .

I‘m totally with you, but it’s not so personal if posted on KZfaq as comment haha

@@CodeExtreme :)

Your personal opinion is a universal truth!

@@yaobinwen6127 Yes , my opinion IS also a fact :)

Whats r&r? Lmao

Every time Iisten to it, it never fails to give me goosebumps

I wouldn't call that the stink eye. More like the ooops smile. Still didn't miss a beat. Audience oblivious to it which is what really counts.

I’m glad Steve did it because it was boring as hell

Nah.. he'll be just another flash in the pan..

Yeah, like that Paul McCartney fellow?

Who?

Bob Cardenaz Yes, the "Who" were great too.

This guy really needs to get a cocaine addiction, maybe then he'll be cool, maybe then..

The debates about guitar players will never end, but its like apples and oranges. Some people prefer flashy technical stuff and think that makes someone "great". Others, myself included, hear music differently. I like less flash and more feel. I don't judge the making of music like an olympic sport. Faster and more complex do not equate to "better" for me. It is two totally different views of playing and how to approach the making of music. It's all about personal preference and I prefer EC.

Colin Jones yes they are a pair of shining shoes

I think this version and Bob Marleys version on The Legend Album are two different songs that should not be compared just because they’re the same song Reason Eric Clapton is an amazing guitarist who made this version his live song legend Yes the baseline is fantastic - but the drummer in Eric’s band is the best thing going in the whole song - even greater than Eric’s solo and I’m a guitarist too Eric’s bass player and drummer are brilliant - but in this song they are mere servants to Marleys creative geniuses in his band But Bob Marley deserves every credit fir being the creator of this song with his rhythm section- the baseline in his version is untouchably unique and genius and the drumlins in the original is mythical Eric’s solo in this version is invincibly one of his most inspired and it alone sets Erics version apart from all versions But there has been no solo on the planet by any guitarist that can outshine any song Bob Marley wrote What I think is happening here is three things 1) Bob Marley and the Wailers legacy will live forever in eternity 2) His song I shot the Sheriff will be copied by everyone forever 3) Eric Clapton is a legend in his own right and will be celebrated in rock and blues to the end of days - his style will be copied by all ... That’s all ... Respect Jah Rastafari

So you don't think that on this version that is in my replay Clapton playing like 20 times better with more feel? Check this one from Tokyo 1988 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l8x0opB-07Tdcps.html

The guitar tone is crap to be honest. Sounds shrill and un-EQ'd. And his drummer jumped off time so bad Clapton had to give him "the look" haha.

@@jbrashguitarist agree,i think Eric had the best sound in the 80s when he used lots of effects like metal boss and chorus

@@jbrashguitarist I’d say your speakers are shit and that look isn’t fuck all to do with his drummer doing anything but being perfect.

H

For the uninitiated (though I'm a serious guitar player), can you tell us a little about Lace Sensors, and what they do? I might google it, but if you have personal experience I'd be interested to hear about it. I agree this is a great sound for Clapton (tone, in particular), better than many other versions over the years. Would have enjoyed hearing Clapton on a Les Paul once in a while to see what he could do with it, but that's a whole other conversation! LOL.

definitely those vintage noiseless shot the sensors

Designed in the 80's to minimize noise as well as string pull (non magnetic), the Lace Sensors were an attempt to make a top of the line professional single coil pickup that would deliver a vintage Fender sound without the 60 cycle hum often associated with it. Back in the day, they were used by a lot of artists, including Clapton, Buddy Guy and Jeff Beck.

thank you for that information ,i think claptons tone was much better when he used the lace equipped guitars .

God*

Dubai Storm endless legend

Great but you also should give feedback on Gary Moore "I Had A Dream" the solo is something I think you would like

For anyone on the fence - Id give them Hyde Park.

He’s God, actually.

I caught that too! Lol

Je crois plutôt que Clapton a été émerveillé et surpris par les "fills" de Gadd. Beau moment, belle sinergie entre musiciens. Wow. :-)

I wouldn't mind outro fills every 4 beats! It sounded great!

Wow, cool) I didn’t know about it

sorry brother but what he did it's perfect....he only knew he filled it perfect. he smiled at him cause he is enjoing

Steve is God

+Gabriel alves de souza Hey Gabriel, I'll admit that Gadd is still one of the best and an innovator, but to compare him to God? Watch how he comes out of the solo too early at 7:12. The infallible Steve Gadd gets the shake off by Clapton. Then Clapton gives him a look like, "What the heck are you doing" all the time smiling but you can tell he's peeved (especially in light of playing for that crowd!). I guarantee, Clapton wouldn't have shaken God off like that and would have come out of his own solo early. :)

Just made reference to the phrase immortalized honoring Clapton himself. Obviously Gadd is human and can be mistaken, for all his genius. hugs

+Tan D Lion (FYB) +Tj Grandt I think he turns his head because he was pleasantly surprised by Steve’s fill, and shaked his head thinking; “look at him, he’s enjoying himself”Anyway it was a nice ending of a great solo.

+Tan D Lion (FYB) If you watch a lot of these performances, you'll notice that Gadd came in early with that fill. He always does it to transition into that part at 7:34 - that's why he turns back around and nods his head again to say "ok, now!". Either way, still a phenomenal performance by Gadd. One of my favorite drummers.

+Martin Muemken Hendrix Is better

Hallo Sun Light ok Hendrix and Clapton have play together!! Ook Hendrix and Clapton are the besten ok all the Best bye Martin

+Sun Light clapton is better

ASSHOLE!! That's not the point. He said, "Clapton is FOR ME the Best Guitarist in the World". Why would you feel the need to argue with someone else's opinion!!! They aren't required to agree with you!!! LOL... SMH!!! Just saying... ;O)

"Which fruit is better, apples or oranges??" What a stupid argument!!! LOL.

+Denny McPeek sorry those triplets were to indicate the end of Claptons solo..Gadd came in too early with it..that was an annoyed look..not a smile ...check out Henry Perez comment as well...he is correct. Then Clapton nods to bring Gadd into the correct spot for the same triplets .

+Desert Child Please, you drum experts, help me out here: @ 2:53 I HEAR a flam, but I don't SEE mr. Gadd play one.. Are we being mislead here as in too many 'live' registrations??

+Desert Child You're right

Done with the bass drum

I don't know the answer, but it's a great question...
