Eric Clapton - Badge [Eric Clapton’s Crossroads 2019] (Official Live Video)

[@dianesnellings5424]

I am astonished and admire Eric Clapton for entertaining the world for 55 to 60 years and still going at it at the age of 77 !!! You go Eric...🎸🎸🎸🎸🎼🎼🎼🎼

The man to the right of Eric is incredible.. Mr. Doyle Bramhall ll is a master….. Don’t believe bill be seeing Clapton in this lifetime.. Thank God we have the recordings 🫡

[@marylougold8333]

Eric still pulls the fans in and makes new ones. He is A+ singing and playing and is delightedly humble.

[@MarcCuevasBlues]

There is one thing that I think hasn't been emphasized enough, and it is that Eric Clapton has maintained such a high level of performance for so many years. You close your eyes and it could be a concert from the 90s. Such a passionate and committed performer.

[@ladyhecate9450]

I do not know about such a passionate player, Hendrix put more passion into his playing of the guitar. I always enjoy watching him play his guitar with every part of his body. He and his guitar were one. However, it is hard to cast Clapton out because I do love his voice shd he is age 76. He is like Willie Nelson....great voice.

[@davidbrown5152]

While I am a huge Clapton fan, I have noticed that his guitar solo work is starting to suffer. He doesn’t take chances anymore. I heard a interview with Ed Bradley, where Clapton states that he isn’t as good as he used to be. There are things he doesn’t even try to do on the guitar anymore. He blames aging. Check out the interview on KZbin.

[@rickboyd5314]

He was one of my first concerts in the ‘70’s.

@@davidbrown5152 he’s right, no one can play as good in your 70’s as when you were in your 20’s, unless your playing slow stuff like B. B. King.

Fantastic how you can here George in this song, the bridge is his signature. As I read he came to help Eric to finish this song and he just gave this bridge melody and the song was ready

[@MrJakigabi]

@@sianwarwick633this song was a cooperation between Clapton and Harrison, and the bridge of this song is written by George. For my ears, very similar harmonies to "Here comes the Sun", what was a real trademark of George at those times.

I have a few guitar heroes...all of us players do..mine are.... Jimi... Stevie.. Tommy Bolin....and a few others...but there is something very special about Eric...I guess part of it is that he survived and is still around... laugh's...but it's more than that...I know that alot of people point to Jimmy...but I feel that Clapton is just as important...I mean his playing is iconic and his riffs have been lifted by anyone who ever picked up the instrument....he truly is one of the greatest of all time....🎸🎸🎸

When I compare the greats, to me, there is no denying that Claptan's guitar tonal quality has no equals. The weight and rich sound of his playing stands above all.

Eric gets that rich tone from a Fender Twin turned up all the way blended with a Leslie cabinet. I don't know any other guitarist who ever thought to use a Leslie cabinet. The sound quality of a Fender Twin tube amp speaks for itself. And then there is Eric's playing that gets great tone.

I had never heard the song before and I said that sounds like George Harrison playing. He said no, the guy playing guitar is Eric Clapton. First time I ever heard of him. It was probably a year or so later that I learned I was correct about George playing on Badge. One of my favorites still.

[@brookshughey4060]

The bridge at 1:34 is one of the greatest riffs in R&R history.

[@NorsePJ]

That riff has George Harrison all over it. When your hear the studio version it's especially evident. And the solo has Eric all over it. Those two were so great together.

[@Aegis90]

And the bridge is the source to the name 'Badge'. Clapton read Harrisons notes upside down and misread.

[@machinemanbaltimore]

That is certain.

[@chuckr1951]

It's good that he didn't mimic Harrison's bridge from the 60's. I remember when this song originally came out everyone knew it was Harrison playing, but there was no attribution at the time. Stellar song I first heard on an airplane flying from Chicago to Los Angeles as a teenager.

[@davidbrown5152]

Hi! I went to see Clapton at Madison Square Gardens in 2018?. Totally disappointed. I had seen him probably 7-8 times and loved his shows. However, this one show was a bust. He started off the evening playing with his guitar volume off so they extended the intro. What I love about Clapton is the fire he brings to his guitar playing. No fire that night. He was just running through the songs. His guitar solo work, which is his trademark, was very brief and weak. It felt a bit forced.I left halfway through the show. I guess he had an off night. I found out later that he was suffering from a severe case of bronchitis! I can allow him that, I suppose.
