Carl Perkins w/ Eric Clapton - Mean Woman Blues - 9/9/1985 - Capitol Theatre (Official)

[@ChrisHolt-g8t]

The respect these icons had for this vastly underrated rocker is wonderful.

[@andynelson8838]

This is the best Clapton solo ive ever heard. Hes playing with his hero

[@reg5381]

agreed,at least not since the derek days.

[@jamespollock11]

Sounded like Jeff Beck.

[@trevgoodwin7900]

've seen Eric in stadiums and small halls followed his career listened to his music and do you know what I think your right one of his best solo's.

[@jasonpfinch]

It's insanely good. And he's just enjoying himself so much.

[@simonjamesyoung8091]

Definitely was

[@TheJonathanNewton]

I don't think I've ever seen Clapton so devoted, relaxed, free, and on fire, neither before nor afterwards. There's more energy put into those few minutes than during years of his playing. This isn't just another show, it's a legend giving his absolute all just for the fun of it. And man did he deliver. MAN did he deliver.

[@bloozedaddy9965]

This is the performance that made me a Clapton fan and I've never seen him rock any better. I was blown away by this solo when I first watched this over 20 years ago. Live rock n roll at its finest!

[@DanielMogrovejoMartinez]

Me too

[@Szacsa74]

Fully agree with each and every words! I wanted to start playing guitar after watching this show...I mean watching it over and over again...Clapton sounded just out of this world on this one! Still my hero and biggest influence!

[@mister.costello]

This is a good performance from EC, but I have heard him better. Check out him with Buddy Guy at Ronnie Scott's in the 80s, white room from the 80s at the NEC Birmingham with Phil Collins on the drums and the Martin Scorsese doc concert Nothin but the blues from the 90s.

[@kevinlawrence6635]

No doubt. Ever time you think you've seen everything someone has done, KZbin delivers another. So glad I stumbled across this

[@matthewgiffin9305]

Clapton is earning his reputation here.

[@waynechurch2981]

Definitely my favorite version ever!! That's what I call rock and roll.

[@Disco86]

When Carl told Eric to "get down, Eric, " he really got down 😮 . Amazing 👏

[@finnmcginn9931]

I really wasn't expecting that. Firing on all cylinders

[@wtevo8881]

One of the greatest live performances ever. Eric is on fire but Carl is simply infectious. What a true great

[@bikersoncall]

Carl had amazing stage presence, and was one heck of a picker..

[@gabrielstatescu9039]

Minunat!!! Gaby

[@impalaman9707]

Carl Perkins brings out the best in everyone who plays with him, including two of the Beatles. He knows how to light their fire!

[@bjr4567]

That's because they all want to impress him. His stature is like that of a lovable but talented uncle.

[@ljh45s]

Carl was one of the best, wish he was still here, love the way he played and sing, God Bless, thanks for the post,

[@shaykatz5648]

This is the #1 reason why Eric Clapton is my all time favorite guitarist. ❤

[@darinaadland5226]

It is so cool how they are all there to honor Carl and Carl kind of sits back and gives them the spotlight. That shows the humbleness of Carl and just how much of a great man he was as well as an entertainer, musician, and songwriter.

[@999TheDaddy]

My dad recorded this on VHS and I wore the tape out listening to the two Clapton songs. One of the reasons I play guitar now...

[@therealdisco7325]

Just think, we will never get music like this again

[@alinecostantin23]

Éric Clapton se donne à fond.. C est un magnifique duo. 👍👍J ADORE 💞💞Mr Perkins grande voix. Beaucoup de talent. Respect 🙏

[@impalaman9707]

Eric Clapton's humility is always refreshing to hear--"I'm doing the worst"

[@shannonhaynes9192]

SO love ❤️ getting ti hear my Granddaddy's voice and him having a great time! Miss him EVERYDAY!

[@genez429]

Carl felt like he had the best seat IN THE HOUSE! He was loving Eric's playing!

[@mickangelo2720]

Brilliant! You can feel how Eric is enjoying this: he`s really on Fire!!!

[@patois231]

AS great as Eric is, When Carl says "Get Down Eric!" you know Eric is doing his god-damnedness to do just that.

[@tylercaskey1931]

You're god damn right

[@pabloperez4063]

Imagine if he had his cream Marshall and les Paul

[@derekdiamond846]

This is great, but Carl Perkins is the master , he taught them all.

[@purpleplump6650]

Carl, George and Eric........the best !

[@Piposky1990]

Amaaaazing second solo !!! 🎉🎉🎉

[@BLADEGURU]

slowhands solo. thats why he's the guitarist with 3 rock n roll hall of fame awards and nobody else.

[@jacksprat3009]

No smoke and mirrors, pedals or other stuff some others need to make mediocre look good. Just Eric and Blackie. Now that's what I call WoW Rock n Roll!

[@pabloperez4063]

Jack Sprat well said Jack! and no rehearsals too. Eric just sat in and said...."1, 2, 3" for this reason, he is the greatest

[@pabloperez4063]

Ross Schmidt thats the way to say it!!! When Eric wants and tries...he is the only one

[@erosram2]

He's not just the only guitarist with 3 R&R Hall of Fame inductions: he's the one and only musician!

[@glassonion5474]

@@erosram2 Of course he is. Obviously he was with 2 other great bands and for his solo work. Ie 3 inductions. I love how Ronnie Wood is the only Rolling Stone with 2 inductions. I bet Mick is jealous as hell.

[@justinpiper8026]

This is my new fav Clapton solo

[@alinecostantin-ux4yb]

Whaou 👍😉Ça déménage.. Yeah. Clapton excellent. Il s eclate. Génial duo. Avec Carl Perkins. J adore 💞💞

[@racehemi426425]

Two absolute badasses. And the common denominator is humility

[@intomatrix1]

Eric playing with Gods blessing here and no mistake

[@Teachering]

daz samuels I believe you. I like that sentiment, very much, because it's true. God bless you, Brother!

[@kennydobbins9644]

There is no other God, but our Heavenly Father, his son Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost.

[@Teachering]

That is the truth.

[@yestoES355]

God damn Eric. Kickass solo.

[@quiquesinmas5419]

Esto si es música para mover el cuerpo Perkins Clapton buen rock can roll saludos 📀🇪🇦

[@rizzalater72]

Eric tore it up on this song. Amazing.

[@poopnewman7775]

Damn,Eric! Don't hurt em Absolute Face melting guitar work

[@gjovalinkukaj2811]

The best Mister Cleptom 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤!from ITALIA thank you sou mathc 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@davidedwards7835]

Could watch Carl Perkins all day.

[@Sincopare]

Carl is shaking his head so much at Clapton's guitar that wig is gonna fall right off!

[@mikeyfern2237]

Erics solo,is awesome

[@paulriordan5420]

Eric. Wat a legend. True class. His latest live cd with jj cale is crazy stuff. Thanks Eric.

[@FINCASBLANCO-p3q]

Esta salvaje, incendiaria, galáctica, abrasiva, feroz, devastadora y magistral performance demuestra a las claras porque Eric es el mejor guitarrista de todos los tiempos habidos y por haber

[@The_White_Owl]

This is the best music video on KZbin. Hands down. Eric Slowhand Clapton 😂😂😂

[@brendandevoy8178]

After watching this 100 times I’ve just found it on SPOTIFY

[@guips01]

haha the same

[@gusdogbrownlab435]

The first thing I ever recorded with my first ever VHS recorder. Rockabilly blues at its best.

[@BarbaraWhittle]

This was amazing! Eric was absolutely on fire

[@ToeKneeF158]

This is NOT at The Capitol Theatre, It was the Rockabilly Session taped at Limehouse Studios in London on October 21, 1985

[@marywealth6475]

Thank you.

[@TheSimplyQua]

This is absolutely fantastic.

[@Zahnclassof95]

This is so incredible ❤️ ❤️

[@russboatright2360]

This was hot! Sure do miss Carl and Clapton certainly on top of his game. Rockabilly lives.

[@ivoj2686]

J'ADORE MR CARL PERKINS ..... Le ROCK'N ROLL n'est pas mort, grâce à eux, la musique vit toujours et nous fait bouger ,danser, rythmer notre vie Mr CARL PERKINS ,qu'elle Homme, MERCI A LUI, Je ne l'oublierais JAMAIS. Si vous avez d'autres vidéos , n'hésitez pas a les mettre en ligne. Merci pour les FANS.

[@carolynbourdeau5876]

Two of the very best!!

[@alanscott6836]

Eric Clapton never played better than he does here. Tearin' it up

[@bjr4567]

Trust me when I tell you, EC has had a lot of hot moments.

[@rineric3214]

This is the first song I ever heard on radio. Roy Orbison. This version is even better! This song ROCKS!!!!

[@bjr4567]

Orbison's version is great, but this one has the fire.

[@peterhaynes8258]

2 GREAT ROCK "N " ROLLERS. R.I.P. CARL.

[@davidevans3227]

the whole concert was superb thankyou for sharing this 🙂

[@drbryant23]

Damn, Clapton in that Italian jacket, fingers just flying up and down those frets.

[@robertkchampion5921]

drbryant23 my grandfather used to ask himself why all the other big names in this concert were suited up to a tea and Clapton was just dressed for another night out haha

[@joerutabaga3349]

Two legends! Love it!

[@jeffgillis4101]

Still sounds great after 39 years

[@MrTeza123]

carl loved this it was rockabily to a tea

[@giraffewaffles]

CARL PERKINS IS ROCK N ROLL 🤘🤘🤘

[@Teachering]

It was guitar players like Scotty Moore and Carl Perkins backing Elvis in the early days that were the foil of his greatness.

[@reg5381]

yeah and elvis never even gave them credit.

[@kennydobbins9644]

That is not true.

[@Teachering]

It's an opinion. Not necessarily true, but I choose to think so.

[@kennydobbins9644]

Teachering Elvis was good friends with Carl and would always give him credit for things.

[@johnpearce3714]

IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN ANOTHER GREAT SHOW -- CARL WITH ROCKIN' JERRY LEE LEWIS -- PARIS 1981. IT'S ON YOU TUBE. JERRY LEE DOES HIS SET -- THEN CARL JOINS HIM. ALSO WEMBLEY 1981 -- JERRY LEE DOES HIS SET THEN CARL JOINS HIM. THEY BOTH LET RIP ON THE PARIS SHOW. JOHN IN UK.

[@rll1954]

SUN RECORDS and Sam Phillips were made famous by guys like Carl Perkins!

[@JaimeNegron-hd3ev]

Whole different level 🎉❤😊

[@californiasunshine8746]

Anything Clapton,count me in.

[@davidburns3480]

thank you big O for this one

[@davidhenrywall8619]

Carl perkin, s was great and Eric Clapton what a class guitarist

[@HarvH]

Eric was fired up on this track

[@justinherbert9146]

Eric on fire -- this is why i love him!

[@trwashere5906]

Too awesome.

[@tylercaskey1931]

This shit is so lit my headphones caught fire.

[@AmcFH]

carl perkins is on fire ... bringing out the best in all these great musicians

[@bogaards1900]

Two legends

[@michaelrios1256]

Wow watching Johnny Cash and Carl Perkins and Clapton a few years before this looked like Clapton was unsure of his self in between those two now a few years later he is a natural..

[@trwashere5906]

Actually, he wasn't sure how to tone it down.

[@nadialucia3691]

porrada de som top espetacular.

[@philipstewart8563]

One of best guitar🎸 soul ever

[@pabloperez4063]

This is MUSIC !

[@jacksprat3009]

Make an old man dance, a young man cream, girls jump up, holler an scream. Don't matter, black, white young an old, gonna shake you up right, that's rock n Roll!

[@davehardin]

This is so amazing! Thank you for posting.

[@johnnydodge]

Imagine being in the crowd of music that this show was

[@tufanirfan]

Clapton teaches to the guitar the real music

[@SebSar-ef4zj]

We should take note and learn to play real music like these guys did.. What is the point of playing music if you can't dance to. Carl Perkins Wow.. He was amazing..

[@jacksprat3009]

Right on! Dirge rock where everybody stares and maybe lights a match or something. But to dance you have to have a space to do that. But that's what's needed. Real rock and roll isn't meant to be sat and stared at. When it's good, it's meant to get you out of your self and MOVE!

[@williammills3632]

Slowhand's best Strat solo. Like Carl says Play it again Eric I love it.

[@houstonrebel4449]

He REALLY WAS loving it. You can tell when Carl came back on vocals after Eric's 2nd solo. It's like it was rubbing off on him.

[@Dave-Rough-Diamond-Dunn]

Carl Perkins is THE MAN! If only he had been as pretty as Elvis!!!

[@charliec6036]

Best live guitar solo ever? If there any better, please tell me

[@bloozedaddy9965]

This has been my favorite guitar solo since I first saw it over 20 years ago. Jaw dropping scorching greatness that Clapton will never better. Right up there with Stevie Ray and Gary Moore when it comes to blistering intensity.

[@avivkestin7103]

try clapton's solo when he played little red rooster with the rolling stones in '89.

[@РавильМахмутов-к3б]

Самый любимый концерт" Carl Perkins-Full Concert"-1985

[@monkwhitley]

They all turned out on the night they loved him so much , even a couple of Beatles .

[@smainclapton2613]

After years and years, Could somebody in this planet tell me which effect did Eric is using to get that amazing sound ?

[@jmack619]

I think is is called the talent effect. or PFM. pure frekin magic. Not available to wee mortals.

[@tims1348]

Cranked marshal in the mid 80's then he moved to soldano amps later on

[@pabloperez4063]

He rarely used pedals

[@jefffrancisco761]

It's called his hands

[@rq5663]

I never seen Clapton play like this

[@mircovannucchi6600]

Carl at his best ! Rip. MV

[@billc6087]

I have discovered that rockabilly is the best!

[@marybrown768]

Awesome

[@TheBim1987]

Everytime I see this clip I get angry because it states it is at the Capitol Theater, but it isn't. It;s not even in the USA. The Studio was Limehouse Studios London. In 1985 Carl Perkins meant very little to Americans except as a guy who had one hit record "Blue Suede Shoe". In the U.K. he was always revered as a rock legend where these superstars first became interested in rock 'n' roll, and many took up playing guitar because of him. Now you want to bask in his limelight & say it was filmed it the USA. Well it WASN'T, as I said it was in the UK at Limehouse studios. Now alter the heading to read the correct location if you've got the balls to be honest in your life for once.

[@geoffreyharold]

R.I.P. CARL PERKINS
