Eric Clapton Have You Ever Loved A Woman Reaction Live from One More Car One More Ride

[@MickeyHaistSr]

You need to know that Eric Clapton is a much bigger deal than many folks realize - some artists are so groundbreaking, so innovative, and so simply good at the style of music they do, that their influence actually shifts things, there are before-and-after musicians . . . music sounded different before Benny Goodman than it did after Benny Goodman, music sounded different before Bing Crosby than it did after Bing Crosby, and the same with Elvis, The Beatles, Bob Dylan, etc. These artists made such significant music, that they changed things - Eric Clapton must be counted among that small handful of before-and-after musicians. Clapton taught everyone what the electric guitar was going to sound like in Rock music - the electric guitar is the iconic image of Rock music because of Eric Clapton. People who only know of Clapton's 'Tears In Heaven', 'Wonderful Tonight', 'Layla', etc, are seeing the top 2% of a titanic-sized iceberg. Clapton's band Cream invented Rock music, Hard Rock, Psychedelic Rock, Heavy Metal, Blues-based Rock, etc, and they were disbanded before anyone ever heard of Jimi Hendrix or Led Zeppelin - by the time of Hendrix's appearance at Woodstock Clapton had already left Cream and had formed Blind Faith. But here's the thing - before he was even in Cream he had already changed everything in The Bluesbreakers and before in The Yardbirds . . . and after Blind Faith he still had Derek & The Dominos ahead of him and a solo career. He's the only Rock star to be featured on one of The Beatles' LPs and the only artist inducted into The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame 3 times! Eric Clapton is a musician's musician, but most of the listening public have no clue what a massively significant artist he is. In this same concert, 'One More Car One More Ride', listen to 'I Want A Little Girl', 'Change The World', and his 'Over The Rainbow" is the best version after Judy Garland's original. There's no one in music like Eric Clapton . . . and on top of that, Clapton has become about the best Soul singer around today.

Couldn't have said it better myself. For the 98 percent, try these songs: "Pilgrim", "Peaches and Diesel", "Blues Power", "Reptile", "SIGNE" and one of the finest songs you can ever hear: "Autumn Leaves" aged to perfection!

Clapton is hands-down my favorite musical artist. He was heavily influenced by BB King, whom Clapton called "without a doubt the most important artist the blues has ever produced." They did an album together called "Riding with the King", and you can see them perform together in several videos. Here's my favorite: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqu3nXVjic90sK8

[@donlombardi]

Riding with the King is a killer album, and whoever designed the album concept has mad skills.

[@ctims4185]

Eric and Jimi are neck and neck with me. Seen EC 29 times in concert. Gotta round that off to 30 sooner rather than later based on Slowhand's advancing age. His greatest era was brief as Derek. Derek and the Dominoes In Concert at the Fillmore is the greatest live rock album of all time. EC was on fire with arguably the greatest drum solo in rock history by Jim Gordon on Let It Rain. Keep on keeping on Eric!

[@linzyaz920]

[@Hardrock1a]

Whole-heartedly agree! Phenomenal album, one of my all time favorite complete albums. Some albums only have a couple of songs that demand much attention. Riding with the King is one great song after another.

[@dess8287]

Such a humble musican *Eric Clapton* he's graced so many different projects. First a guitarist in the *Yardbirds* in 1963 a group that both *Jimmy Page*(Led Zeppelin) and *Jeff Beck*(Rod Stewart) were in. He left that band when started having commercial success, he joined *John Mayhall and the Bluesbreakers* in 1965 even though he was a big part of their sound he didn't even last a year. He left and formed *Cream* a trio of himself *Jack Bruce*(bass, vocals) and *Ginger Baker*(drums) in 1965. They had strong commercial success, but *Slow hand* wanted to do something else so he and drummer *Ginger Baker* put the band *Blind Faith* with *Steve Windwood* on lead vocals and keys. They lasted for only one album. By 1970 *Mr Clapton* was getting more comfortable with his voice for leads and released his first of many albums. Also creating the group *Derek and the Dominoes* a album with great songs just didn't appeal to the public when it was released and sells suffered. But thank goodness it didn't stop him from making music! To think he's still living at gracious age of 73 and on top of that inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame three times, with the *Yardbirds*, *Cream* and as a solo artist. I've never got to see him live, but I've definitely heard him live. By the way some of my favorite live songs from him is *Wonderful Tonight*, *Old Love* and *Badge* from *24 nights* that whole album is worth a listen! Well as always looking forward to seeing your next reaction peace ✌️☮️ and blessings 🙏!!

[@johncampbell756]

Eric Recorded this in 1965 with The Yardbirds. He recorded it again in 1971 with Derek and the Dominoes for the album Layla. A blues song by Freddie King. But it fit perfectly on Layla as the album was essentially a love letter to Patty Boyd, his best friend George Harrison's wife and later Eric's. Both ended in divorce. Wonderful Tonight was also written about her, when he got mad because she made them late getting ready for a party. I've never seen or met Eric, but an old friend lived in a tiny $500/month studio apt in Venice two buildings from his multi million dollar house. Both were one building and an alley from the beach.

Been a fan of Eric Clapton for years. I have seen most all the Great Rock and Blues Bands and Artists. I'm 71 and grew up with the best that changed music forever but I had never saw Eric Clapton in Concert until 2015 at MSG his 70th day celebration . All the other concerts I've seen they sounded no better than their best live recordings. Clapton is in a league of his own. Live in concert he was 10 times better than any recording I have ever heard of him. I was speechless. I had goose bumps and the hair was standing up on my neck and arms. My wife was with me and she is from China and only knew of him because of me . She is a opera singer and very gifted. She said that he was the most amazing musician she had every heard. Her comment was when he played guitar it was like it was singing. Also there was Derek Trucks, John Mayer and Johnnie Vaughn. They were great but compared to Clapton they sounded like beginner's. If you have never been to one of his concerts you must go to understanding what I mean as recoding's in no way does him Justice.

[@jomama2757]

If I recall correctly, this song was written about the love for a woman who belonged to his best friend. In real life, Eric Clapton did fall for the wife of his best friend, and went on to make her his wife. The friend? George Harrison of Beatles fame. The woman? Pattie Boyd. Eric and George recovered their friendship and went on to play together onstage for the British Royalty at the Prince's Trust Concert.

If you are listening to this on some cheap sound system, you are doing yourself a huge disservice. I have a dedicated movie room, 7.2 sound with 2 1300 watt 18 inch subs in a 550 sq. ft room. This music dvd in DTS surround is absolutely amazing. Billy Preston on the organ just makes me smile. I never heard of Billy Preston before this dvd.. and he just blew me away. Fathers Eyes and River of Tears off this dvd is simply fantastic. I was born in 1970, so clapton was actually a little before my time of growing up with 80s hair metal, but this is easily my favorite music dvd of all time. Clapton is simply one of the few musicians who becomes one with his instrument.

Eric Clapton was in a "super group" from 1966 to 1968 called "Cream". The other two members were Jack Bruce on bass and Ginger Baker on drums.

Eric Clapton is one of the best guitarists ever. When you listen to this one, you can see the influence that B B King had on him. I first heard him when he was in the band Cream. But his compilation album called Derek and the Dominoes is my favorite; all the songs in that album are good - especially Layla, which was a huge hit for him.

[@friarjeff1602]

I was wild about Eric from his start in early to mid-60's. The stuff he did with John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers opened my eyes and ears to BB King, Freddie King, and on back to the beginnings of blues roots music. Eric carried the flag forward and did probably more than any other player in promoting the genre of the blues to white audiences. Finally got to see him in the mid 90's in Kansas City. No flashy showmanship, he brought the music. His battle with addiction mirrors my own. Please see Tears in Heaven, the song he wrote when dealing with the tragic death of his young son. Also Change the World. If I had my choice of who I would like to sit on the back porch with and swap lies and riffs with, it would probably be Eric Clapton and John Prine.
