Eric Clapton “Driftin’ Blues” LIVE 9/18/23 in Los Angeles at Private Event

[@kathif17]

Oh whoever is trashing Eric let me tell you something I should be dead . I am not because of God and Eric's music that reaches my soul Holy Mother should be an Anthem and it is mine i am sober 24 years it took me a long time to get sober and his music kept me on the right path. ❤ Forever Fan ♥

I saw him do Holy Mother at Royal Albert Hall a million years ago and it was absolutely a spiritual moment I will always remember.

[@MAP448]

Mr. Clapton--->Thank you Sir, for all of the inspiration you & your music have given this world. Not to mention the lifetime of inspiration you've given me. So thank you.

[@wallemon06]

His musical successes are only eclipsed by his longtime sobriety. I think it’s been 37 years for him. He leads by example in this regard.

[@davefish9296]

You can see the BLUES in his facial expressions ! A true master of the blues and as always a great performancee.

[@rrf2-tq2ln]

For me he is the greatest guitarist who plays blues, his music is so smooth and comfortable，people in our era need more good music like this

[@wendymoney2043]

Age 17 l was spotted singing at an event in Brighton + approached to sign a record contract with EMI… l was far too shy + nervous + didn’t turn up for the signing…in fact…l was so frightened…l didn’t even tell my parents who were required to be there with me… This is a decision I’ve never regretted + since, only ever sing at private gatherings. During Lockdown + recovering from Cancer Surgery…l came across Eric + Drifting Blues…it stirred my soul as never before. Since then, l bring him up on Karaoke, pop my phone on record…+ collaborate his songs with him. In doing this…l didn’t have one miserable day + suddenly the Lockdown’s were over. I’m 75, my voice is still powerful…+ l adore doing this. I’ve made a pact with friends + family whom are itching to put these recordings on KZbin, to hang fire until I’m gone…then…he won’t be able to sue me!🙋‍♀️😉

My friend who I went to Art School with saw Creams first show at the Twisted Wheel in Manchester i sadly missed that one!

Olá!! Sou Samuel, aqui da zona leste do Estado de São Paulo, no Brasil, aliás, EC já fez vários show's aqui em São Paulo.Estou vendo o jeito que ele está tocando, aí como eu estou lendo o livro, biografia de Eric Clapton, ele diz nas páginas 42 sobre como aprendeu e quem o inspirou no blues, dentre eles, Big Bill Broonzy. Maravilha, estou lendo o livro pela segunda vez. Hoje é 13 de fevereiro de 2024, terça-feira, agora é 09:30 horas, am. Tenho muita vontade de aprender a tocar assim como ele, é fera, de ouvido. Obrigado pelo vídeo.

No matter 😢what anybody says about eric clapton,t I 😊think he's the real deal when it comes to blues numbers . Don't forget 5:05 , he's got nothing to prove but that he's not only a good but a brilliant guitarist who never stops. To me he's an inspiration. Some 😊 years ago locked up in a Chinese jail I was practising guitar, no utube, online tutor, nothing but a tape recorder but every time I found a good blues tune to cover there was an Eric Clapton version of it. Do I have a taste ? Or he??? w Ho the f*** knows.

[@brianmurphy5313]

I'm a supporter of RFK Jr. In quick, random order, here's some of my reasons for supporting RFK Jr... -genuinely wants to unite the country, and he has the ability to, being liked by many different 'types' of people from across the spectrum of issues and ideas, who are tired of the 2-party duopoly -calm, humble, has integrity, has courage, truth seeker in general, thinks for himself (not a DNC/RNC puppet) -not phony -incorruptible, cannot be bought -thoughtful and introspective -deeply considers problems and possible solutions -wants to get rid of 'Citizens United' and the power of the big private money controlling government -vocal about putting an end to corporate capture over government (pharma, banks, oil, military industrial complex) -wants to get us out of 'forever wars' and to pull back on and expose the corruption within the military industrial complex -wants to pull back NATO and resolve the Ukraine problem via negotiations -vocal about the dishonesty and agendas of commercial media -wants to abolish all pharmaceutical advertisements on television (this has major influence on the 'news' narratives) -wants to keep the pharmaceutical industry honest with safety testing, transparency, etc -wants to get rid of government assist crony capitalism and subsidies for big ag, oil, etc -advocate for civil liberties -vocally against censorship (will free Snowden and Assange on 'day 1') -against mandates and police state-like policies -classical liberal sensibilities with respect of others (without the 'woke' or fake identity politics) -vocal commitment to transparency regarding FBI, CIA, NSA over-stepping and out-stepping -passionate about environmental and ecological concerns -passionate about cleaning our food supply and exposing the unhealthy ingredients in processed 'foods' -wants to bring preventative health more into public discourse; nutrition, exercise, etc -will immediately close the border (this is not some republican scare issue, it is a very major issue - for many reasons) -has an excellent plan to make homes affordable for all, including a program that backs mortgages at 3% and a tax structure to keep Black Rock from continuing to buy everyone out (this also will bring rent cost down dramatically) -due to his family/background, he's well-learned from the inside of the various power structures -due to his decades as an attorney successfully taking on major corporations, as well as government regulatory corruption, he is exceptionally well-suited for taking on the myriad of corporate capture over our government (and the policies which ensue)

@@slowery43 the sense is that Eric is a great example with all he lived. And Robert Jonhson, taked a most inspiration because Robert talked about the life troubles.

I applaud you for that. I used to record 5 minutes of the kids' stuff, then take in the rest. We don't really experience events while we are recording them. Thank you for what you did get tho. It's moving.

[@FredFractal]

I was at the event in person. It was magical. And Eric Clapton’s was not the sole source of the magic. RFK Jr’s run for President is vitally important for the future of individual freedom in America and the world. Eric Clapton has said, from his own experience, that the “vaccines” were harmful, and that no one should have been coerced to take them. During the event, he expressed gratitude to RFK Jr for his courageous stand against tyranny and for personal autonomy.

[@larryn2682]

RFK Jr is just a crackpot sponsored by Republicans. He has no chance of being president.

[@erlpen2016]

It has nothing to do with the vaccine…it has to do with the bottom line, more exactly Eric clapton’s bottom line…he probably needs money and wouldn’t care if people contracted covid 19 at his concerts as long as he was making money to pay for bills he probably created for no reason…his blues don’t sound that good anymore in fact blues should be left to African Americans….the blues were created as a way to deal with all the pain and suffering African Americans went through….as far as RFK jr. giving him any attention is like paying money to watch Paul McCartney’s son in concert or paying to see James Taylor’s son in concert….the fact that your father was famous doesn’t make you famous or even relevant….you and EC and RFK jr can kiss Donald trump’s a$$ all you want to…he will end up in jail…along with all the the ones that assaulted the capitol….
