09.21.21 Eric Clapton encore with Jimmy Vaughan, Doyle bramhall, Marcus King Bridgestone arena

[@aaroneworley]

Look at the smile on Clapton’s face when Marcus is playing his solo! Priceless.

[@TonyMullinsMusician]

I thought the same!

[@lawlaw1]

Brings me joy Just saw them in Florida Cried like a baby for my hero

[@williamdillard4291]

He knew that there was someone to fill his shoes

[@mjm2466]

Wonder what they said to each other at the end?

[@mushin0247]

i was just going to write thet ^^

[@dbrew2u]

When you can make Eric smile as Marcus did here ? You know you have made it to the top .

[@SimpleManGuitars1973]

I lost my mind when Marcus came out and I honestly thought I was about the only person there that knew him. Lol! People around me were like "who is that guy???". I'm sure all my fellow guitar nerds were as excited as me though. The show was awesome and the ONNNNLY thing I wished would've happened is he would have played at least one Cream song. It was cool to see him playing Tears In Heaven again though. Also Got To Get Better was smoking too. Don't be fooled. Clapton still has it and has never lost it!

[@TonyMullinsMusician]

Yea I freaked when Marcus came out. Such a cool surprise

[@BrandonScottSellner]

Marcus King is amazing for sure. Too bad Guthrie Trapp didn’t get to jam with them too.

[@94757598494309438]

They knew who Marcus was before it was over though!

[@gman4173]

I lost my mind when Marcus King came out. Marcus is one of my favorites just like Clapton is. This was the second time I’ve seen Doyle Bramhall II and he did not disappoint.

[@Jay91Byrd]

Marcus is one of my favorites. I have seen him and the MKB live many. That’s awesome you got to be there!

[@muzikmind77]

That Kid got more talent in his little pinky than any mainstream radio artist

[@TonyMullinsMusician]

He’s a beast!

[@domg9186]

He DOES INDEED

[@holysmoke7887]

Eric was loving that solo by Marcus

[@TonyMullinsMusician]

I don’t think I got it on the video but as they walked out Eric said “ look who showed up….this should be fun”. Great performance

[@cheesemouse7774]

He had a smile on his face from ear to ear.

[@thrumyeyesphoto]

Marcus King is on a whole other level. His tone and playing is just phenomenal! Also a fantastic singer/songwriter as well. Really bummed I missed this Clapton tour!

[@iansnyder274]

I imagine that someone who has played and honored the blues as long a Eric has must just love seeing great young players like Marcus carrying on the tradition. He was beaming!

[@HIWATTuser]

Marcus King takes it to another level wherever he goes. Rock on my friend !!

[@GregsGuitars]

Marcus King brought back the cream of The Cream.... ;-)

[@kilterkaos1]

You know you’ve made it and are doing something right when you find yourself on stage with Eric Clapton. How blessed is that!

[@GretaVanZeppelin1996]

I remember watching the Clapton crossroads festivals as a young boy and seeing BB come on last as the elder statesman. It was so mesmerizing. Now as an adult approaching 30, it’s Clapton who is the elder statesman bringing in younger guitarists. May he live for many more years to come

[@TonyMullinsMusician]

Well said 🤟🏼

[@marlewin5249]

Eric and Jimmy make me nostalgic for the days when Stevie Ray Vaughan shared the stage with them.

[@AB-C1]

Fantastic! What a rendition and lineup! Love that Clapton let's everyone else take the spotlight now like he did here with Marcus King. Such a Legend and love he has down so much and still does for Blues music Rock Music Country Music and ALL Music a TRUE legend and Master with True Class it's why BB-King Loved him like a son, also Buddy Guy, Hendrix, all the greats and Later SRV and All Especially BB King and Buddy Guy CREDITED CLAPTON with almost Single Handedly finding the Blues, bringing it to England, playing, reviving, Reinventing the Blues, but INCLUDING ALL the original Black Blues artists in the 60s and re-launching their careers which were dead as was the music, and reintroduced it to White and Black American audiences which was segregated at the time the Black kids were embarrassed by it and the White kids didn't know about it but Once Clapton and Peter Green Fleetwood Mac, John Mayals Blues Breaker and the Rolling Stones ALL started playing the blues among many other British artists and later younger American Artists it sent the old Blues musicians Like Muddy waters and Howling wolf Buddy Guy, T bone walker and alike their careers went stratospheric! Through Clapton and alike crediting them the dues they deserved and SHOULD have got the first time around in the US, bringing them back to America, giving them fame fortune recognition and Creating the Modern Blues, we all love, into Rock, then Metal, and inspiring the Modern Blues players we have today! The man is GOD as he came to be Known! As was Peter Green Fleetwood Mac God rest his soul and Jeff Beck, Three of the greats of their generation, along with the GREAT Buddy Guy and Albert King, Freddie King Albert Collins and alike... Fact he's STILL performing on his late 70s at that level promoting young talent despite him having Emphysema and the Neurological Degenerative disease robbing him of his guitar ability for the last few years, he's STILL performing at a level most would dream of despite that and obviously not as long as he used to be able to keep it up bit still THE MAIN MAN! GOD BLESS ERIC CLAPTON! For ALL he's done and does for Blues artists and music! 👍🎸😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

Marcus King is the best thing that has come along lately. Seen his band a few years back in a small venue in Toronto Canada fantastic!👍🎸🇨🇦

[@jmdoherty100]

If I never see another concert, I’d die happy after Clapton last night. He and his band killed it!

[@TonyMullinsMusician]

Same!!

[@cheesemouse7774]

I was there. Row #13, seat #12, on the main floor. I drove down to Nashville from the Motor City. Best show I have seen in a mighty long time. Props to Eric Clapton and his band. And I knew who Marcus King was too. I was stoked when I saw him walk out with his ax! Marcus rocked it out for sure. What an awesome encore, to a phenomenal show. It was well worth the drive. Go Wings!

[@NickHallGuitarist]

Paul Carrack just has a voice of silk. Love that guy! Nice to see Marcus up playing!

[@TonyMullinsMusician]

Yea his voice was top notch.

[@amywood7082]

[@threeg6966]

I was at this concert. GREAT SHOW!... Eric Clapton is still playing flawlessly. The encore was incredible,....I too knew who Marcus King was, and he is very good. I thought Doyle Bramhall was excellent all night also. So happy to have been there. Eric Clapton has so many good songs in his catalog, he just couldn't play them all. ( although I wish he could have ) 🎸🎸🎸

[@TonyMullinsMusician]

Yea it was a great night. Their was a few tunes I wish he'd played as well but definitely not disappointed. ,🤸🔥

[@Mixwell1983]

My mom and sister went to this show, had I known Jimmy Vaughan was playing I may have went also. My mom has been wanting to see Clapton since before I was born (im 38)...

[@nunoSG73]

I saw Markus King in Paris ( Duc des lombards) 5 years ago, and I quickly understood that this guy was going to become the new N°1, monstrous guitarist and fucking singer, the guy has everything !!! It appears one like that every 15 years! For our pleasure, because guys like that are very rare

[@marysefonta8371]

I like this tune "Hight time we went", the rythm, and with Jimmy, Marcus and Éric, it's Super, in Nashville ! Marcus King is a good Guitarist and he has a Beautiful Voice, with Eric's Guitar, c'est Génial !

[@marysefonta8371]

@Eric Clapton, Thanks for reading, I appreciate your way of playing, and your answer.

I enjoyed listening to Marcus King and his band of high school chums jam every Wednesday night at Williamson Evans studios in Greenville SC. He is an amazing guitarist and getting his due in big way!

[@TonyMullinsMusician]

Yea it was awesome seeing him in the mix with these guys

[@bradnelson4778]

Clapton just loves to play with great players simply because it keeps him on his toes and he excels when pushed by the young guns and his band. He still has the chops to nail anyone - he is just no egotistical about it because he loves the music and sharing it with like minded people. Time for him to come back to Australia !!!!

[@TonyMullinsMusician]

We’ll said!

[@jgfergus]

You guys need to take back your country. The tyranny of your corrupt politicians is insane.

[@wendellstieferman8884]

My wife and I made the road trip from central MO, fantastic show. Last saw him in St. Louis in 1982??? He has not lost anything in his abilities. The crowd energy was great, so much love in the air for one of the greats of all time.

[@WesleyThibodeau]

Marcus King, Billy Strings, Gary Clark Jr, Eric Gales. Those are the current guitar players that have such style and songs, that they give me hope for 'guitar music'.

Ireland ,1981, Eric Clapton , with Albert Lee, Gary Brooker, and band, did a short tour of small venues in Ireland, I got to see him during this tour, the venue was a small hall with no stage ,in a small Irish town, with 200 fans attending, it was an excellent show. This Irish tour was a warm up for he's coming American tour. ...EIRE
