This should be titled "Eric Clapton listens to David Brenner"

This guy is one of the most beautiful yet tortured souls I’ve ever known of. It is astonishing that he’s still with us. Thank God that he is, and that he finally found himself.

Almost 35 years later, thankfully Eric is still with us.

Eric will always be the coolest without being anything but himself. Brilliant.

Shout out to the guys who screamed "Eric Clapton is God" in the beginning! You guys are the real Mvp

No wonder David Brenner doesn't have a show today. He's got Eric Clapton sitting there and he keeps talking about himself.

Clapton looks like a really cool good looking dude here. 9-10 years after this he'd be playing some of the best blues guitar you ever heard

If you click randomly 100 times on the timeline, the damn interviewer will be talking in 97 of those clicks. Shut up an let the important person talk!

You wouldn't think that Eric was still a drunk here. He was good at hiding it

Never seen this one before. Thanks for the upload!

I saw Clapton in 1974 at the Capital Center in Washington DC. It was an incredible concert. At the end, he walked off the stage and stepped right into an ambulance. He had played two hours on an overdose of heroin. No doubt, his brain was not present, but his fingers had little brains inside them. And he finished the show.

Clapton is ridiculously good looking here 7520

I fucking love this man. Period.

slowhand doesnt talk very much ever. but when he does its always cool.

Eric is incredibly handsome.

Eric ,you are the man.

He's so handsome classy & talented

a year before he got sober, kept composure well.

Slowhand has reinvented him else so many times, it would make your head spin.

Lord he looks good here. Even as a functioning alcoholic

Clapton on Stevie Ray Vaughan... "I can't follow that guy".... He's too good...

Legend....they did well to get Eric in 1986 when he wasn't pissed!

Exactly my thought. The guy keeps talking about himself and comparing, in long monologues, his experiences with Clapton's.

I remember watching that David Brenner show and thinking who are these old men. Now I see how pretty young they are

Where is he? It looks like a reception at a hotel. Why is he talking to that loud receptionist?

Eric the love of my life😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

What a way to spend the time talking about yourself having Eric Clapton as your guest

Wow - the interviewer really suited up...

That's why my middle name is Eric. I love clapton always a father of guidance

Me encanta el mobiliario y la vestimenta del presentador. Benditos 80...

Amazing footage.

Eric Clapton, chitarrista fantastico molto particolare ma grande.

I just wanna see him on new late shows.

David Brenner interviews himself. Shut up and ask Eric questions and let him talk. One chance in a lifetime blown.

Gorgeous 😍😍😍

Poor guy didnt know hurt and heartache there..so sad..peace mr clapton...r.i.p conor.

they yelled "Eric Clapton is god"

Love the beard..love the voice.

soooooooooooooo humble

That David geezer wants to talk more about his career than Cric Claptons!!!

Opening song was "it's in the way that you use it"

❤️❤️❤️❤️

A living king

I'm like him when it comes to drinking and drugs we know how to hide it in public .but behind closed doors we can't hide it from our family's .i went to aaeeting in summer of 95 in Charlotte nc about 50 x drunks there went around the room introduce ourselves it got to him high I'm Eric Clapton in an alcoholic glad to be here in charollte .we found out he was in concert that weekend in charllote .his band members were with him I guess for sercurity .

Que guapo es cuando se ríe. Me muero :'v

When they call any guitarist God then Rory Gallagher just smile at them and keeps on playing without being bothered !

The David Brenner Show? My God...I had forgotten.

He did get sober in the early 80's but fully relapsed again around '84 or something.

I think he means the way his voice sounds in music

Legend of the Blues !

ERİC CLAPTON İS GODDD.. :)))

Eric is good looking😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Love this guy hosting

show the music he played from this show that would be great thanks

I think its because of the american origins of the blues, at least for artists who take influence from it. Same thing with Rory Gallagher, for example.

Excuse me, but I am only trying to help clarify as to why the Accents are not heard. Just Sharing what I know, to give others a better understanding. Thank You!!!

WHERE in this interview does he talk about Stevie Ray?

0:18 hell yeah

EC♥️

Clapton, cream ,with the Gibson guitar n Marshall amps will always be the best sound you can get outta guitar IMO and clapton will always be the best I have ever heard .no solo or playing will ever compere to cream farewell concert crossroads live its absolutely unbelievable.

Yes we do unfortchently & its either sound american or sound like Liam gallagher lol I think when you grow up listening to albums of american rock & blues singers it just seems to come out.

Rory Gallagher was like Jimi Hendrix plus Eric Clapton plus srv plus Jimmy page plus Jim Morrison all rolled in one person ! It's just that he didn't go for artificial commercial musical gimmick and fame then ..

The interviewer was actually pretty cool.

Eric Patrick Clapton (Ripley, Surrey, Inglaterra, 30 de marzo de 1945), más conocido como Eric Clapton, es un guitarrista, cantante y compositor de rock y blues británico, conocido por su magistral habilidad con la guitarra eléctrica, en concreto con su Stratocaster.[2]​ Apodado Slowhand (‘mano lenta’),[1]​ desde su época en The Yardbirds, y God (‘Dios’) en su época con Cream, es miembro del Salón de la Fama del Rock and Roll por partida triple: como miembro de The Yardbirds y de Cream y por su carrera como solista. En opinión de muchos críticos, ha sido uno de los artistas de la cultura de masas más respetados e influyentes de todos los tiempos.[3]​ Aparece en el puesto número 2 de la lista "Los 100 guitarristas más grandes de todos los tiempos" de la revista Rolling Stone[4]​ y en el puesto número 55 de su especial "Inmortales: Los 100 artistas más grandes de todos los tiempos".[5]​ Además, en 2005 la revista Guitar World incluyó cinco de sus canciones entre los mejores solos de guitarra de todos los tiempos.

TV Funhouse, TV Funhouse!!

Can anyone identify the watch Clapton is wearing here?

who is the presenter?

Nope, he was pretty messed up around this time. He became permanently sober in 1987 (I think in November).

If you really dig into his bio, Eric was in the middle of everything

What'd he say about the homeys??

Who's that host? I'm not familiar with him.

I saw Muddy May 1st 1971 in Chapel Hill N.C. he was still recovering from a broken right leg. He was incredible and his band was too. Pinetop Perkins and a great harp player named Paul Oscher were among the members.

Fight (No Matter How Long It Takes)!!!

He looks so different with a beard!

'Oh the interviewers this and that' - person 1 . Person 2 *video starts for a couple of seconds 'I'm enjoying this video now' * looks at person 1s comment - " oh the interviewers this and that, I don't enjoy this video as much now"

Honestly, I have thought the same thing before..

Didnt he go thru the Hazleton program in 83ish?

yeah sarcasm he's the best

1986 had cool brown colors.

david brenner had a talk show??

well i dont think jimmy page has a choreographer, or eddie van halen, but their fun to watch... LOL it would be weird if he randomly started doing that stuff..

Well not all English singers, but in the case of Clapton, he grew up listening to American blues music and probably tried his best to copy that sound.

i cant buy that at all. there are so many songs that have been sang, that their accent is very clear.

He looks like peter weller the giy that played the original robocop

hes talking about in claptons songs how he sounds american

Eric: Sometimes you got to get away from it all you cant go on making records from ever. (Cuts him off) Host: I know your gonna play a song for us.

Don't think its that English artists sound 'american', its just that you're so used to hearing them that they sound/sing normal to you. Clapton sounds about as American as Matt Belamy does IMO. English is English, accents are accents.

Eric is shy by nature so...was he drunk or using here??

clapton just doesnt look right without glasses.

This interview has been brought to you by the letter C… And i’m not talking Clapton.. Look at all the sweat! Lol

Who's the interviewer here...?

Clapton Trower and Hendrix

he learned everything from muddy waters, he has depression

Eric is about as cool as they come.

Well dressed interveiwer NOT..

EITHER SPECIES IS MUCH HIGHER THAN YOU - BUT DON'T BE JEALOUS, JUST CONTINUE TO WALLOW, YOUR GREAT, GREAT, GREAT, GREAT, GREAT, GREAT GRANDCHILDREN MIGHT EVOLVE INTO SOMETHING WITH AT LEAST ONE BRAIN CELL.

Where the video when he said Prince is the best?

Rory Gallagher was god

MAYBE LET HIM TALK

Listen to Reconsider Baby and tell me that Clapton isn't dirty.
