Eric Clapton - Forever Man (Video)

[@TalismanTImes]

I've been listening to Clapton for a good 35+ years, maybe close to 40. One thing that really strikes me is the guy's unmatched guitar virtuoso abilities have always somewhat overshadowed the fact that he has an absolutely tremendous voice as well, and one that has remained undiminished over all the years.

[@Hardtohandle3186]

Mr. Clapton is smooth buddy

Clapton has been my favorite guitar player forever. He was great in Cream and a great solo artist. Not easy to do !

[@Vanasse1]

Uh!!! So fantastic on so many levels...... top of his game right here.

[@richardwatts9924]

Music is the universal language of mankind. How are you, Karen?

[@29958867]

One of the greatest guitar solo's ever....short, to the point, intense, perfectly phrased, perfect tone....puts an army of Metal/Shred/Meat-heads to shame!

[@tiegooo]

james parker I do agree !

[@29958867]

tiegooo I shouldn't be so mean....I like a good shredding session (do it myself sometimes...), but I do believe it takes "more" to compose/execute a shorter solo like this....a good example of a supreme short/shred solo would be Mathias Jabs (Scorpions) on "Rock You Like a Hurricane"...

[@Subbree]

+james parker Pink Floyd's What Do You Want From Me is also on similar lines.

[@29958867]

+Subbree thanx, I don't think I've heard that, I'll check it out!

[@29958867]

+james parker Yer right, similar, great vibe...I get a good "facsimile" Gilmour tone on my little cube amp: "rectifier" amp setting, "gain" all the way, "tone" about 7 oclock, a little slap echo + some flange, and away i go! Btw, did you know Gilmour played lead on McCartney's "No More "lonely Nights"? It adds some nice metal "crunch" to one of Macca's "silly love songs", lol!

[@itchyhole]

one of the greats if not the greatest

[@Tinykisses55]

I thought I would never say this, Clapton has always been #1 for me, but I just heard Prince play "My guitar weeps", and I must say...that man can play a guitar! I never knew.

[@RetroJenny]

@actuary33 I agree. The 70s and 80s had the best music.

Master guitarist

[@joybmimi1]

He really will be the Forever Man

[@robertgortega6478]

Songs that are shared by KZbin are an individual born in 1950 era, a blessing and are far better than the old school record player's that pumped out music from 78, 33 & 1/3, & 45 platters.

[@TheKat0306]

Love Love Love My Forever Man!!!!!XX00

[@OttoByOgraffey]

Clapton is God

[@cubnation]

*You are all wrong. Eric Clapton's favourite musician was JJ Cale. He said, "He's my hero."*

[@mickyboy6673]

Happy Birthday Eric. 70 yrs old today. A living legend, your music will live on forever man.

[@joeljohnson5725]

+Mick Addison (Mickyboy) Absolutely Happy Birthday. Among other times I've seen Clapton, I was lucky enough to go to the GuitarFest in Chicago in both 2007 and 2010. Two of the best shows I've ever seen (the best was Fleetwood Mac at the Forum in LA in 1991, too good to describe).

[@kemetstry]

The original is always the best!!!

[@dabble778]

1987. Sydney Entertainment Centre. Amazing :-)

[@dakotatreasurehunter]

This was a staple in my Walkman back then.

[@KENZOWAL]

Yes, clearly Clapton's best video. It's from the WB/Polygram compilation "The Cream of Eric Clapton". What a lineup! Veteran Marcy Levy on vocals, the gifted Tim Renwick on guitar, Porcaro on drums, and the best rock bass player ever, Donald Dunn, from Booker T and the MGs. It doesn't get any better than this.

[@shaneh1983]

great song

[@Theelectricheads]

ERIC CLAPTON IS GOD!!!

[@ΡουλαΡαγιε]

Just perfect ..from Greece love

[@ShaunMurphyBand]

I sure did love doing that video!!!! Even though it was freezing in the studio and the very expensive camera crashed at the end......One of my favorite songs we did on the album as well....

[@mr_m_5000]

I always wondered about that camera dropping off the mount @2:42. The one guy is freaking out, backing away slowly with his hands on his head, another looks like he’s going to just make a run for it while the rest look on in horror. Someone must have received a stern talking to. From an L.A Times article the following year (Oct. 1986) regarding Panavision camera rental rates and value: “Through dealers or on its own, Panavision rents out equipment for between $3,500 and $25,000 a week. A middle-of-the-road system that costs about $7,000 a week is worth more than $1 million, Farrand said.” www.google.com/amp/s/www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1986-10-14-fi-3313-story.html%3f_amp=true

[@ShaunMurphyBand]

@@mr_m_5000 That's right, I know someone had to pay dearly for that!!!!

[@xXN0SK1LLZXx]

I could listen to this Forever... Man

My favorite Clapton song. AWESOME

[@mrbarr1961]

classic clapton

[@PecataPravila]

favorite

[@kurikokaleidoscope]

これはとても素晴らしいです

[@kpec3]

You all are going to think this is weird but this is not only my favorite Clapton song, but one of my all time favorite songs. The riff is so simple, but Clapton was/is a master of making the difficult seem simple.

[@denizoktay850]

KPEC3arrival no he was the master of making simple great

[@kpec3]

Deniz Oktay yeah!

[@ryannewland4719]

Agreed!!!!

[@justafanintexas7913]

Clapton didn't write the riff or the music. The composer, Jerry Lynn Williams, did.

[@aboveforever]

This is Clapton's come back song. After his fall from Cream, Blind Faith, Derek and the Dominos he hit bottom and produce mediocre albums that I wouldn't take if you gave them to me. Then one day some of my musician friends and I were at a bar and on the TV Eric appeared to play this song. We all just stood there wondering what kind of crap he produced this time and to our incredible surprise he was "back". Clapton had returned from the grave. That guitar solo clinched it. That was the Clapton sound. We all celebrated his return to playing again.

[@Johlibaptist]

As some modern Cockneys, using their rhyming slang, would say, Slowhand is "the dog's Jackson Pollacks on the guitar." Over the years he has made lots of bread (and honey), but EC has had many a problem his the trouble and strifes. And losing his son was a bitter, body blow. Through his pain we have gained great music.

[@jubeegrooves2]

Yes, Jeff Porcaro did, barely see him (0:39) for a second. At least we can hear him. ;-) He also did another track, 'See what love can do', from same album. (Behind The Sun) RIP Jeff

[@justafanintexas7913]

Porcaro isn't in the video, that's Jamie Oldaker.

[@arautus]

Clapton plays a beautiful guitar. Shows how great his old group Cream was, they were equal in talent, with Jack Bruce on base and Ginger Baker on drums

[@peredrum]

One of the best session groove drummers from back then...Mr. Jeff Pocaro...any questions?

[@justafanintexas7913]

Porcaro played the recording but the drummer in the video is Jamie Oldaker.

[@Termite30]

I've always liked his "80's look" best :)

[@bayknight20]

This stands up any heavy metal song out there

[@1992YR]

Clapton's best song and tone!

[@davidnorman4923]

One of my favourite Clapton songs! Features Jeff porcaro on drums and Steve lukather on rhythm guitar! Nathan east on bass lenny castro on percussion! Ted templeman on timbales! Marcy Levy on backing vocals! Cool tune!

[@alexchess119]

Eric Clapton Forever Man ¡¡¡

[@aerts06]

Live !!!!!

[@macsnafu]

While I wouldn't call this a "classic," it's still a great pop song, and it does showcase Clapton's guitar AND vocal talents well. Consider this an appetizer to his more classic songs.

[@coolcat6303]

Such a cool song with the late Jeff Porcaro on the drums. This song also foreshadowed his most Pop/Rock sound which was on the next album (August) a year later.

[@diva7681]

I treasure this album....one of the best in E.C.'s career...introduced him to another generation...Awesome song! Great solo!!

[@Kohntarkosz]

Yeah, Duck Dunn was Eric's bassist at the time. He played bass on a couple of Eric's albums and tours, though on this particular track, I think that's actually Nathan East you're hearing. And for what it's worth, the other guitarist is Tim Renwick, who played with Eric on Roger Waters' Pros And Cons Of Hitchhiking tour, then later played on the last couple Pink Floyd tours. There's only two musicians who toured with Waters solo and with the post-Waters Pink Floyd, and Tim is one of them.

[@kevinr3793]

I remember seeing Eric in concert supporting the release of behind the sun album it was on Seattle in mid to late 1980s and I and my best friend were young 20 somethings. Everytime I hear this music i begin to cry from the loss of my friend who lost his battle with leukemia in 2016. It will be 40 years ago I met him labor day weekend 1979 and later became a lead guitar player with our band. God how i miss him and all that he taught me as a big brother in spirit. I pray for God's love and mercy to watch over us all and remember our lives. Goodbye my friend now you can rest in peace. I miss you Curt, your little brother with love Kevin.

[@chris667100]

clapton is the man...period.

[@veronicavigil8748]

Badass song

[@raiderdanCA]

Tight, hard driving, visually stunning performance .... EC at his BEST !

[@jar6787]

He one of the best!!! Like to see Santana and Erick on stage!!!

[@giorgimt]

I've always loved the solo in this song. Something about that guitar sound makes me happy. Too bad that you can barely see other musicians in this video, except for Donald "Duck" Dunn. Eric rocks!

[@rachelphillips9063]

class man when guitarist Clapton knew what to play stunning man

[@robsheean9696]

Among, if not the best, groove of any Clapton song.

[@sharksalg]

eric clapton is like mozart!!

[@larrystarstruck]

Love it, you have Duck Dunn from Booker T and the MG's. And there is Clapton with Blackie. This album was big. The previous albums, he tried to play down the guitar hero thing. But songs like this and that solo showed that Eric will always be a guitar hero.

[@don56texas]

One of the most succesful songs ever written by one the finest guitar players/ songwriters the world has ever known. Jerry Lynn Williams of Fort Worth, Texas. The searing tone of Clapton's guitar is but a remnant of the way Jerry played it.

[@kumbrabeats1730]

Amazing Clapton!
