Eric Clapton/Change the world

1999 live at Madison Square Garden,NewYork city

[@SoftRockMusic83]

I believe that somewhere in the world, there are people who feel the same emotions that I feel when I listen to masterpieces like this song.

[@gabrielagiliberto8679]

Siiiiiiiii!!!!

[@jacwood22]

Absolutely!!

[@GeileMickey]

lol, even nathan east the bass player who is in his band for over 30 years and heard every note before looks at him at 3.37 and thinks, my god, you can PLAY!!!!

Yessss!😊😊😊❤

I was there with my wife Jackie, what a concert , Clapton and friends ..... really... priceles

[@lauryliepolito52]

"Change The World" If I could reach the stars Pull one down for you, Shine it on my heart So you could see the truth: That this love inside Is everything it seems. But for now I find It's only in my dreams. And I can change the world, I will be the sunlight in your universe. You would think my love was really something good, Baby if I could change the world. If I could be king, Even for a day, I'd take you as my queen; I'd have it no other way. And our love would rule This kingdom we had made. 'til then I'd be a fool, Wishing for the day... That I can change the world, I would be the sunlight in your universe. You would think my love was really something good, Baby if I could change the world. Baby if I could change the world. I could change the world, I would be the sunlight in your universe. You would think my love was really something good, Baby if I could change the world. Baby if I could change the world. Baby if I could change the world.

Nathan East....amazing bass player. From Barry White to Daft Punk....nuff said.

Always feel it’s a hidden gem. A song that never got over played and makes it so refreshing when you do hear it.

There is no one like Clapton and he has changed the world,but best part is he doesn't act like he even knows it! This is without a doubt one of his prettiest songs ever,perfect message for all of us right now ♥

[@anonanon7235]

Tommy Sims wrote the song, they got Clapton to sing it and make it famous. But yes, Eric Clapton is talented as well.

Clapton is truly amazing!! I was at his concert where SRV passed away in the helicopter crash; it was a fantastic concert that ended in tragedy. I think the 95 dislikes are frustrated people who have tried to play like EC can can't !!

[@daverenick4782]

I've heard so many versions of him doing this song...never with one horn doing his middle solo though....but o god.....this pattern at the end....He's strumming and getting those perfectly symmetrical dyads and triads....and all the tie in phrases and wicked little runs....it's just gorgeous playing as usual....he's so super-fluent he just does it like a master short story teller....combined into a human metronome...beginning, middle, end...all locked together like a perfect puzzle or dimensional snowflake...they aren't just riffs...it's beautiful "micro-composition"....and if he did it 2 minutes later it'd be different and just as good....It's addictive to listen to for me....it's too good....and I am turning off this computer and gonna read a book or something and get those phrases out of my head...how does he combine simple pieces into something so intricately elegant, and so full of fire at the same time....? Maybe , maybe, Keith Jarret can do it too sometimes.......maybe....But Eric Clapton has been Opening The Lotus for 50 years now like nobody's business....It isn't real...but there it is, right in front of all of us to hear it.... I don't know and never really will...even if I imitate it...it isn't my composition...and he doesn't think twice. It's almost always that way with Him....he preserves the intensity of rock or blues but brings phrasing and elegance to it as no other guitarist on earth I have ever heard.His stuff is just gospel to me....

"Мне бы мир изменить, Солнцем озарить твою вселенную, Ты поймешь - любви моей прекрасней нет, Детка, я бы мир изменил. Если б хоть на день королем я стал, Ясно, что тебя я б в королевы взял, И править пусть у нас будет лишь любовь, И пусть, как дурак, я мечтаю вновь" Ты забыл,когда ты меня сделал КОРОЛЕВОЙ? Иногда мне кажется это был не ты.. Когда я сомневаюсь,то вспминаю,что ты предупреждал о своей молчалвости Неужели она сейчас разрушит Храм,который мы строили годами?

[@ottawangel]

from commenters: Slowhand ;) Eric Clapton, Nathan East (bass), David Sanborn (sax), Steve Gadd (drums), Yvonne Eliman (my guess as one of backup singers)

[@skegsmakai]

Yes, David Gadd is killer on drums but Eric also has a horn section he's used in the past that is so darn hot it makes me want to cry. They, along with Mr. Gadd where on a recording of Tore Down I'll never forget. Eric shows just how good guitar playing can be on that Gibson. I try not to think about the day that he will pass on like Jack and Ginger but in the meantime, all the best my friend, you're the best.

[@moverzmusicfeatures]

We've started a youtube channel to get real music back. Our plan is to gain subscribers, and have bands sending us demos. We'll feature the best songs on our channel, so people can stay updated on new bands.....this tried to be done before with another youtube page getmusicbacktv but they were very biased and ultimately the movement failed. this time we will accept from all genres in order to get new bands signed we except everything thats music...not mud spread the word to make this possible!!

[@jasonteten]

ERIC CLAPTON TRIVIA: British rock star Eric Clapton raised $2,15 million at a New York auction of 75 guitars and 55 amplifiers, more than triple the pre-sale expectations, says auctioneers Bonhams. The proceeds from the sale at which every lot found a buyer will go to the 65-year-old guitar legend’s Crossroads Centre drug and alcohol treatment facility in the Caribbean.

[@candidacampos5418]

[@jasonteten]

you dont have to play fast fingers in guitar playing,.because fast fingers will take you only hours of practice,.but the feeling of blues music will take you years and even decades to get thru it..blues is easy to play but it is hard to feel..its not how fast your finger is,it is how you play the note..thats why eric clapton is i think one of the best guitarist in the world.

[@julievaldes71]

yes I definitely would

[@AzianDumbAss]

@DreadFugitiveMind I suppose it's just the versions I found on Limewire and iTunes. I just love the way he sings "I would be the sunlight in your universe" in this version, but in the versions I found, it's not the same, and I just stopped it there.

hi, i love this video, but the year 1999, is wrong, this video is from "Clapton & Friends, Concert For Benefit "Antigua Centre", and the year is 2004, check this out on any online store and u'll see i am right, well, but its cool anyway.

it is a martin acoustic, headstock tells all, not the body. theres like 7 different body styles for acoustics all ranging from what u want to do so its always best to look at the headstock

[@AzianDumbAss]

Probably the best version of this song EVER. Better than the studio recording, at least. There's no emotion in the recording. If only you can get this version on iTunes...

[@loricatwhy2k2000]

I don't think I have ever heard Clapton sing a bad song. He Is amazing. There have been only two artist that I want to see before I die. One is the Eagles, Saw them (freakin amazing concert.) And of coarse Eric Clapton. I sure hope I get the chance some day. Thank you for putting this up. Totally rocks.

[@richat1691]

I love how claptons gives the bass player a little look at the end of his solo, like-'how was that?'

[@user-tb2jy9lu3d]

@fight2legalize It's right near the Groom Dry Lake...a perfect test bed for developement of new UAV aircraft, fighter jets, stealth aircraft, etc. I follow lots of the "UFO" and "aliens" stories, and most point to this facility...which displays various signs in the night sky on a regular basis of "hovering" crafts that appear to make no noise. With billions of dollars per year and the best scientists and constant research money can buy - the U.S. military is decades ahead of the outside world.

[@user-tb2jy9lu3d]

@fight2legalize Secondly, because I see that you are a fan of all sorts of odd conspiracy theories, a fan of movies such as Pineapple Express (I work for a movie industry - this move was TOTALLY smoking marijuana only, and it is disturbing that people want it legalized for this reason)...it's not hard to see the real agenda behind this. You can take all of the oil/seeds you want, but without exercise, proper diet, enough rest and a general healthy lifestyle...it's no good.

[@atourdeforce]

its just a variation on the Bmaj chord he just doesnt use the 2nd and 3rd strings, to help you undestand it better u surely have seen the variation of the Fmaj chord where its played in d open Cmaj position only only dropping the hand 1 string down but you still get the same sound, wit a very slight differance thats maybe what hes goin 4, thats my opnion anyways. p.s i was just using the variant of Fmaj as an example he doesnt use that fingering here and just follow it up d frets 2 d G position.

[@AvivCMusic]

I love the bass solos at the beginning. And also listen to the guitar solo. Very unique. And also how the vocals and the insturuments colide at the chorus to create one great harmony - also very nice. That's what I like about Clapton's music (especialy Layla and Tears In Heaven) - the richness of the music. Great song.

[@Actingskint]

Dear me no wonder the music industry is in trouble . Nearly 200 muppets who apparently don't think this is a great song played Bt exceptional musicians. Either that or their just attention seeking trolls out to hate things just because they can . Mind you with thousands giving it the thumbs up who really cares eh. Nice track Eric

[@alanarnett1]

@Wh1skey The bass player is Nathan East, who's been with Clapton off and on since 1985, along with Greg Phillinganes on keyboards, and Andy Fairweather Lowe on guitar. East and Phillinganes stretch themselves across genres, playing with everyone from Michael Jackson & Stevie Wonder, to Clapton & Sting, to Toto and Herbie Hancock.

[@f1tony2003]

I'm gonna get killed for this but I prefer the slowed down version of this. This is awesome though.
