Eric Clapton & Friends - White Room

Eric Clapton with his friends:
- Greg Phillinganes
- Nathan East
- Phil Collins

[@penbayman]

My God! This is a seriously outstanding performance. Clapton in full throat, Collins drumming like a hyperactive madman, everyone's in the groove. They seriously do NOT make 'em like this anymore.

[@1mexfighter]

one of the best versions I've heard

[@endymionqueen76]

This is my absolute favorite version of White Room--When Eric starts bending that Strat at 4:07 it sends shivers down my spine--add to that the phenomenal voice & keyboard of Greg Phillinganes--Nathan East on Bass and Phil banging those drums--it is simply perfection-L

[@wendideleoncampbell4174]

Yes 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤

[@alnrdpk]

The tone of this guitar here is evil ! really cool.

[@Eleventhearlofmars]

You can always tell when Phil Collins is drumming on any tune, especially on live tracks, he’s just got his own unique drum sound and always has had, even from the early Genesis days.

[@Lincoln12933]

One of the best guitar solos ever!!

[@marcorampazi1893]

Clapton is God

[@lastfewtokes]

This is the best version I’ve ever heard by far. Guy on keyboard during the chorus nails it on the money.

[@wayne.t2334]

[@ehouli77]

I think 24 Nights version he nailed a good solo. This version is powerful but I think he was still struggling with alcohol and wasn't at his 100%

Yea, indeed. By the way, that guy is named Greg Phillinganes. He was in the band Toto, later on, and before then he was in Michael Jackson's band. Personally, I think that they nailed the sound of the keyboards during this song; particularly during the choruses.

[@DavisSchulz]

love this version, one of the best songs ever made, love it.

[@GiulianoJagr68]

What a voice by Greg

[@7cosmo832]

Best version of this amazing song. And that solo is easily one of the best in history.

[@OneSupreme08]

I am probably one of the rare who think that Eric actually made a huge progress on all levels as a solo artist. Dont get me wrong The Cream, Blind Faith and all other projects were great but alone Eric truly found himself in expression, sound, skill etc. Specially the sound of strat is so beautiful, powerfully overdriven yet sublime and full of clarity, just magical !

That's the red Strat that's on the cover of Monet and Cigarettes. Phil Collins is really a good rhythmic drummer. The organ player sings the break part real good. Nathan East on bass, comes in on time, adds humor to Clapton's seriousness.

I'll wait in this place where the sun never shines; Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves. I'll wait in the queue when the trains come back; Lie with you where the shadows run from themselves. I'll sleep in this place with the lonely crowd; Lie in the dark where the shadows run from themselves. That dude on the key board and back up vocals has a great voice...perfect for this great song. One of my all time favorites. The icing on the cake is Phil Collins.

[@MemeLord904]

That solo still gives me goosebumps

[@RC-Heli835]

Its almost like a spirit comes over Eric Clapton and plays through him when they open the shoot and turn him loose on a guitar solo. Amazing! No wonder fans used to call him God in the early days LOL! I think he got kind of tired of it but seriously the guy is awesome.

Spot on. He said in an interview once that usually during a gig he will be ‘transported’ at some point, or words to that effect and by the time he realises that, the moment had passed. I think that is what we see in this solo.....just amazing,....

[@euanelliott3613]

I remember seeing this on TV and liking what this lineup did with it. I wonder what Jack and Ginger thought. Phil Collins is superb on drums, Greg Phillinganes excellent on keys and vocals, Nathan East solid on bass and Eric Clapton is as good as he ever was in Cream. We got gigs like this on TV in the '80's.

[@patagualianmostly7437]

Thank you! Glad someone can see the positives. Get so tired of the ".... not Ginger though... is he..." crap But that solo from Eric..... WOW oh WOW

[@TheBrendanzn]

Best version of this song for me. I come back every so often to hear Eric absolutely destroy that strat from 4:06 onwards. I love him when he's in this mood - just crazily aggressive while maintaining his precision and tightness. Probably the cocaine, but yeah still bloody amazing nonetheless 😂😎

[@MrMiguelhtp]

After the untimely and unfortunate death of the Supreme Master of the Electric Guitar - James Marshall Hendrix, Clapton is indefinitely and undisputably GOD! What a SOLO! PERFECT! SUPREME!

[@rickjohnson8707]

I know right 🎸

[@LizzieSparrow2]

LOL! 😂 Respect! I remember-and this goes to show how OLD I am-🤣 when when I was a kid, like, 100 years ago, 😆we used to drive cross country on vacation in the summer. Whenever we had to stop at a rest stop to go for a bathroom break, I remember there was always graffiti written-or more like carved 😂-into the bathroom stalls saying either “CLAPTON IS GOD” or “HENDRIX IS GOD”. Never understood that til I got old enough to discover both. Glad I was fortunate enough to eventually grow up with their music and classic rock in general.

[@lorensmith4111]

Clapton forever

[@timothyroberts8347]

At 4:06 the master reminds us that on his wost day he's 1000 times better than any of us playing a guitar

[@riojones9637]

I like this version better than most others I've seen but I miss the sound of the Gibson and the wah-wah. The Strat is okay thought. Just my opinion.

[@BemusedHumanist]

I first saw Eric with Cream when I was 16, and have been listening to him ever since. Every note I could. And I think this is one of his greatest solos ever, along with the "Have You Ever Loved a Women" solos in the Scorsese blues documentary. No one can construct a solo with that much passion AND structure. It is like a great short story told with sirens.

[@cicranelnaz]

My favourite of his is live guitar solos is the one he plays on yer blues with the dirty mac at the rock n roll circus

[@grahamdrummond2412]

[@razzle1964]

Clapton IS and always will be God to me too. I've watched this a thousand times - I like the wry smile he allows himself at around 4:40, when he knows he's nailed the solo ... but also, the grimace at 5:16, when he fucks up the high bend, lol.

[@treming930]

I think this is one of the great Clapton solos recorded, albeit froma semi-obscure concert film. Beyond just being blistering, it's got an almost perfect structure to it. Virtuosity coupled with passion. And I love that at about 4:40, you can tell that Clapton himself knows he's in the midst of something phenomenal, even by his standards. This is transcendent.

[@user-bq9yw2hx7e]

In the white room with black curtains near the station. Black-roof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings. Silver horses run down moonbeams in your dark eyes. Dawn-light smiles on you leaving, my contentment. I'll wait in this place where the sun never shines; Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves. You said no strings could secure you at the station. Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows. I walked into such a sad time at the station. As I walked out, felt my own need just beginning. I'll wait in the queue when the trains come back; Lie with you where the shadows run from themselves. At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd. Consolation for the old wound now forgotten. Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes. She's just dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings. I'll sleep in this place with the lonely crowd; Lie in the dark where the shadows run from themselves.
