All of these comments show how Eric has touched each and every one of us. The common thread I think would be how Eric is able to reach our emotions. I was 13 when Slowhand came out. The radio stations were just killing Cocaine and Lay Down Sally. I was already a huge blues fan and played a little boogie on the piano. When I heard Mean Old Frisco it was all over for me and I had to have that album Slowhand. The Blues took hold of me and at 56 I've never looked back. Eric the world is so much better with you in it....there's a story about you I've read that when you heard Jimi playing in London you said "I might as well put my guitar away". True or not, I'm so glad you kept on and keep on playing - forever in my heart you are. Signed - big fan in Cleveland OH USA.

This is still one of my favorite records. Thank you Eric for All the music over my lifetime. My music teacher in Early primary school introduced me to your music way back when she was named Miss Millie, later becoming Mrs. Pearlstrom. She was one of my favorite teachers, a nice ol' Lady. Still think you should come to Victoria, though come in the beginning of September, NOT NOVEMBER as Ringo did, then complained about the rain. Well Vancouver Island is/was a Rain-Forest and November was, before climate change always the windiest and probably the wetest month of the year. It still has the best climate of all Canada. If you don't wish to come here, and I do understand as the BC Ferry's are expensive now,.....Ridiculously so as a matter of fact. How about one more time in Vancouver. I would love to see you one more time in my time. (B-1967-D. Not Yet 🙂) KZfaq is great, I discover more of your music all the time it seems, or more of the different people you've played with in concert. The young Derek Trucks is just fantastic on the guitar isn't he. I am glad to be able to say I did see SRV here at The Royal Theater, funny cause that used to be a movie theater when I was a kid, saw Star Wars there as most kids my age did in 1977, why I remember that?...... All the very best to you.✌

Very interesting film, thanks for uploading it! I've been a huge fan of Eric's since his time in The Yardbirds, and have always loved his playing. Despite his legendary status as a guitarist, he's actually very modest about his extraordinary virtuosity...almost embarrassed by it in a way. I remember seeing him at the Blind Faith concert in Hyde Park where he seemed to deliberately avoid playing in the typical style of a 'guitar hero', which a lot of the audience resented...they wanted more Cream! The thing I love about Eric's playing is the emotion in it, that feeling which so many technically brilliant guitarists often don't have. God bless you Eric, and thank you for the music!

Some people just cannot get it that not everybody started playing guitar to "Get Chicks". Some are just destined to answer a calling. Also, the amount of time it takes to get proficient, on the instrument, often lends itself to a solitary existence, at least for a period of time. My teenage years were like that. School and guitar. Nothing else for four years. I've also heard that ego is the driving force behind playing guitar. This isn't always true either. Some people are just born to do it, as if it were predetermined. If there is no love for what you are doing, it is noticed, and you won't go far with it. Eric is self-evasive because he loves guitar and keeps his ego in check. He doesn't play because he has to. He plays for the love of the craft.

A craftsman sees through the lens of craft. Eric and Glyn Johns are talking about recording techniques that aren’t rock(et) science, but that 95% of musicians wouldn’t be able to deliver live - or in a studio - because they can’t play well enough without effects or correction. This film is instructive on what musicianship and humility is. There’s not a single moment of arrogance. It’s a masterclass in raw talent and quiet self-assurance.

I then realized that the music I heard at the age of 8-9 years old coming from the basement of a church as a local rock band practiced was old Cream. Fell even more in love with Eric's music. I was hearing it and loved it but didn't know who it was. Still when I hear a Cream song I go back to those days in Brooklyn as a child. This interview was great! My respect for Eric grows every time I see or hear an interview with him. I Still Do is one of his best. Imho.

+ AllieCatOfficial Don't listen too closely, do you? Listen to the section from 36.15 onwards. Paul Whitehouse (the interviewer) says "well, I think its time for you two gentlemen to go back to the [old folks'] Home..." To which Clapton reacts, comically, "Is the van [from the old folks' Home] here?" Then he and Paul Whitehouse start an impromptu comedy skit - Clapton (obviously pretending to be a decrepit old man, says "I've had a nice day sitting in the sun...can you wheel me (referring to his pretend wheelchair) nearer the sun...?" Whitehouse then imitates Clapton as an old folks' home inmate, "I've got a new album out..." Then Whitehouse pretends to be the driver of the van "...[disbelievingly] - "course you have, Mr Clapton..." Is it that you simply don't understand irreverent British humour? Everyone in the UK would have picked up that "comedy" section of the video. And if you were expecting Paul Whitehouse to be more reverential and "respectful" to Clapton, as an American interviewer undoubtedly would have been, you obviously don't know that Whitehouse is a highly successful individual in his own right (as a professional TV comedian and actor), not an interviewer by trade. As such, he is less inclined to be "overawed" by who Clapton is. In any case, he is a close personal friend of Clapton's. Of course he's going to jest with him...

Would tune in again just to hear Eric recite the phone book! The friendship with JJ Cale has taught me profound things. Many thanks

I have watched both this interview and the Ed Bradley interview and must say my views of Eric have just Eclipsed to Moon. I really did'nt realise the Man.....I think its a wonderful thing that Eric has got through the other side and moved into what appears to me, a real happy zone in his life. I am so pleased for you Eric and Long may it continue.

Every time I watch Eric's footage taken together with J.J. Cale, or Eric's footage with his thoughts about the late, sorely missed J.J., or any time I remind myself of Eric's influence on my own youth - I tip my hat off to Mr. Clapton. Mr. Clapton is a Good Man.

A brilliant get together. It was one of the most interesting chats have listened to in many a year, ....relaxed,. honest,.....and humorous, especially the last 30 seconds. The music sessions were superb, especially the last riff at the Albert Hall. Great job guys, thank you so much, it made my day.

I worked with Eric's grandpa, Jack, on building sites around Guildford in the 60's. Jack said one friday, the boys are rehearsing do you want to meet them? I passed up the chance to meet what became Cream and have been kicking myself ever since..........Thanks for making great music Eric.

Thank you for the personal story. You might have missed meeting Cream but you may have saved your hearing by missing that rehearsal! 😉

This Interview is Honest, loving, and well done. These 3 and all the sessions musicians love what they are doing, and it sounds true to me. Eric is a good player, very down to Earth, trying to be honest.

I found a new admiration for Eric after watching Ed Bradley’s interview. He has been through trials of fire and has come through them tempered like iron. He is one healthy man now.
