[@mathiszilinski258]

Beautiful Phil Palmer with absolut stunning guitar solo!

[@wattage2007]

Totally. So much more of an inventive solo than Claptons. Tasty notes and phrasing.

​@@wattage2007 Yeahhh he is an amazing session guitarist

[@mathiszilinski258]

​@@InhalerOfTheRifftree Maybe i can cut a video for you without the whole band? So you can just watch and listen to Eric all the time. Actually it is a very nice gesture of Eric letting some roome for Phil Palmer. or other musicians... And there was no statement about the quality of Erics guitar solo...

[@gramusel2517]

one of the best.....thx Sir Eric for this good music for over 50 years^^let the blues begin

I'm exercising hard to Crossroads. Eric is killing me. It's just nice

[@C0H87]

It’s depressing that I’ll never be even 10% as good at anything in my life as Clapton is on the guitar.

[@beefnacos6258]

Sure you can. I have faith in you.

[@jockmcscottish7569]

Not with that attitude! Do what Eric done-practice like hell (is my guess). Same as His royal Highness, king of guitar and a sharp dresser. The coolest cat to walk the earth, Sir James Marshall 'Jimi' Hendrix, then Mr James 'I was selected as the greatest guitarist in the history of rock music has been selected as the greatest guitarist in the history of rock music Page, SRV, BB King and the Queen of guitar, Her royal holiness Sister Rosetta Tharpe. Practicing is how you get good, and a change of attitude might help brother/sister or whatever pronouns you use. Talent may be a factor lol.

[@johntiger5]

@@Newcastle423 Nothing But The Blues Concert I was at , at Madison Square Garden ,his voice caught up to his blues guitar playing which was 1994. Despite the thinner sound on the Layla album his use of maj and minor keys on blues like Have You Ever Loved a Woman, and Key to the Highway are equally as good. His work on Cream Reunion at Albert Hall on Stormy Monday, Sleepy Time Time, and Crossroads ( despite different) another improvised guitar virtuosity. As is N.S.U. .Sorry don't agree.

[@jims5922]

@@Newcastle423 You're wrong. He got better and better over the years, especially after quitting drugs and alcohol in the mid-late 80s. I haven't missed a tour since my first one in 74. Last saw him Sept, 2023. I'm going to wear out before he does.

He brought the name of Robert Johnson to a lot of people..

[@prathameshbhambure]

Crossroads has a different energy to itself. The way he plays solo before this video starts(that part isn’t in this video but you can find it on YT) and then plays this, is just mesmerizing for me. Them authoritative solos and his crying vocals are obviously the deal sealers.

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU, AND HOPE YOU’LL ENJOY ALL. DOC MAGOO PJ VIETNAM JEFF Z.

[@jockmcscottish7569]

I feel it as well. Clapton got better when he aged, his solos mainly emotional, gets you feeling 'it'. I love music, I feel it deep down, moves me. Jimi Hendrix's live Hey Joe solo's get me right in the feel's. Can you imagine if he survived, as he aged his music would be, probably, amazing. Just like his friend, Eric.

Best guitarist ever. And great, great singer. All-time great.

[@Tonetwisters]

Cookin'! Love those early Clapton model Stratocasters.

[@CompleteCretin]

Same. That whole rig with the SLOs was awesome (complex though!). That particular black Strat with the Mike Stevens flamed neck (previously fitted to the pewter Strat) was great. Minimal/thin body paint so it looked old from new, super-glue finished neck for the feel/worn look quite quickly in its life (fingerboard turns grey in the well played areas).

[@ehouli77]

Also Phil Palmer is playing a Clapton signature model that Clapton himself have him, probably the testing model painting in 7-up green

[@Tonetwisters]

@@CompleteCretin It was quite spectacular! I wanted one of those very first models something awful, but was raising two young kids and the dough was really scarce! Thanks for your fine reply!

He showed his sincere respect to everyone in his band, which touched my heart😂 Only a true great artist can do it.

[@SimpleManGuitars1973]

SO awesome how Eric has always loved sharing the spotlight with other musicians and even those backing him up. He's the most least insecure player maybe to ever live.

[@tele68]

And the second soloist definitely would make most players insecure.

[@bigtsshackfestival9563]

Hell I thought his tone was much better than Clapton’s , but he wasn’t using those dog shit lace sensor pickups, and he cut through the mix better even at lower volume and had a stronger , much more authentic strat tone. It’s easy to see why those lace sensor pickups became extinct.

[@SimpleManGuitars1973]

@@bigtsshackfestival9563 I actually think they initially rebranded them as "Noiseless" first didn't they? I was thinking Buddy Guy used them to for a while. Maybe I'm mistaken about that though.

[@danv8717]

Such a great show!

[@keithjames7843]

That’s exactly right. Eric is one of the best guitarist in the world and he also has a very good voice and can control his voice very well. I like him more when he is playing the blues. Anyone who says that Eric Clapton is overrated. They either don’t like rock music or the blues. But everyone has their own opinion. To me he is one of the best musicians an entertainer’s. He has been doing this so long and is very good at what he does. He does a lot of cover songs by other artists. But anyone that plays the blues does the same thing. People like Freddy King,BB King,Robert Johnson and my personal favorite, MUDDY WATERS. Just about anyone that plays the blues has covered most of Muddy Waters songs. But they can’t sing like Muddy Waters. When he teamed up with Jonny Winter. The album Muddy Mississippi Delta blues. Man what a great album.

[@elmoblatch9787]

Clapton at the beginning of the 90's was God at the peak of his powers 🔥
