Clapton has been one ☝️ of the best since the first time I saw 👀 him in the 60’s Just gotten better and easier for the man.. Thank you for the music E C

[@cefarther3945]

Totally agree. He got the best to play with and then he just got better and better as he got older. That 2001 concert in Tokyo was the best ever.

[@TREYOLDHIPPIE]

ChicagoBlues1952 an Armani man..back then

[@TREYOLDHIPPIE]

and he looked MaRR- vah- Lus. Around 93 it was "Nothing But The Blues" tour and boots of "practice" that pulled me from a low place after an idiot almost killed me in front of a Flag man doing 60 in a 'stop ahead,' +Flagman ahead" zone. fun share. On the infamous Dan Ryan x-way...just south of DT Chgo. (I-90/94@ 59th. b4 Skyway)

[@TREYOLDHIPPIE]

John Constantinides That was when he really started to own it..and throw it down.. and not much time spent on stage not playing real blues and sounding like he was playing like that all his life. which He was..but it did not come out like it did after NOTHING BUT THE BLUES came to town..A U.S. tour maybe in 93. boots in 92. killer blues like the 2010 guitar fest for Antiqua. Voodoo Chile w Winwood is something to feel in person..the bass could have been an earhquake. The tempo the drawn out perfectly clear, slowed timing brought everyone into the trance they played. Its still absolutely great turned up..not meaning to brag..but HE AINT GOINN SOUTH..HE DID NOT GO SOUTH AFTER CRADLE..and DID YOU EVER SEE HIM AFTER THAT!!! Yes it a passionately wrong synopsis you think you have called out correctly.. you just don't know. he is so addicted to playing that it is all but insane to those who have neurological complications (often from repetitive "work") and many others, who don't reach old age- and not get thru without. mean complications, for a life that was lived fully. it's just insane for most folks with bad pain to push thru what likely inflamed it . I can see it tho. he never really stopped touring. or jamming at least. and recording with other greats. he admits he misses it..has said that often. I miss stuff..but only one dose EC can fix it.. pretty much. God Bless Eric Clapton. He shares his stuff. + that's enough.

[@TREYOLDHIPPIE]

ChicagoBlues1952. a sharp dressed man turned casual. I kinda liked all black Armani. goes with a '70 all black coupe. incl vinyl up top + thick black upholstery. cheers, + thanks for the great share!!

[@kevinhughes1659]

I think EC plays a fine solo there on I shot the Sheriff. you hear his solo on the live versions, but not on the studio version. it builds in intensity, then he rounds it off with a proper cadence. I just think he is finely waxing his axe on that one.

Great duet with the same old blues bassist

[@mkguitarproject]

Knopfler was not at home playing with Clapton's band, even though Alan Clark was there. That's clear. His performance is sub-par. I wish they had tried to take this collaboration a bit further. His Pensa Suhr was not sounding 'fat' enough like it did during the On Every Street tour. I guess that could be part of it. He is famous for being perfectionist, and perhaps he hasn't found his 'sound' for that tour with EC. If you take the Music for Montserrat gig, you can see that they've reached their best there. That show is remarkable.

[@TREYOLDHIPPIE]

I never thought EC cared about commercial success. Otherwise he would have changed the world by now..he could have raked it in on the CROSSROADS Guitar charity Fests for Antigua rehab. By SIMPLY releasing A e 3-4-5-6 Blu ray monster box..for each Fest. Dallas, Chicago 2x, (promised a 3rd..never came back?) and finally NYC. now he stays close to Cali home..and alternates gigs there only with NYC..lately now(June '18) he is surprisingly doing concerts close together in Europe. On the continent so far. But it may be a test..because what he has that's hurting him..won't allow exertion every other day..unless he did find the best of the best help..which is what we all hoped and prayed for. And not just selfishly..USA wants him to be able to do what he loves to do. rock on with the best blues /ever.

[@lindapernicano913]

Kat Masterson

[@kevingee4294]

Kat Masterson he is doing two shows in NYC at MSG in Oct.

[@TREYOLDHIPPIE]

Kevin Gee I sure wish he would remember more than towns he can afford..MSG isn't cheap..nor are flights plus buses..and at least one night for $275 or bedbugs. and hot dogs get old. He has to slow ddown. I am very familiar with peripheral and all other neuropathy. its exhausting and cruel. I rely on rare great artists. EC is peaking and always first. I paid dumb fees for updates. I heard too late. but I still think he has no clue about what he calls"Street People." We touch the ground.. he thinks we all can just buy and do anything Too bad but his soundboard often beat most commercially sold music. he is a great soul but he is not in touch. He even said he feels Japan has more class..Eric, you just insulted more fans than any other country will ever have. Respect? a pin can drop in Chicago when you play your best. on the street? you look unidentifiable. I saw him get out of a car and walk into a side door..I almost missed my thanking him for his music. A mob was standing around and not far from me..not a- one ran over or hollered..that was after his concert. with 10 people in a compact car. who wudda thunk.

[@canuckteach4315]

As far as the issue of Clapton & Knopfler collaborating, I don't think they had a falling out.. still good friends... but late 80's mid-90's was an era, but all eras pass. Knopfler started doing a lot of 'solo' concerts, with great session musicians backing him, and he got to talk to the audiences a lot.. up front & personal.. for instance, there are some 'knock-you-dead' versions of Telegraph Road here at YT, and that's not a repertoire he would be doing as Clapton's 2nd guitar. Knopfler also has some wonderful vids here where he talks with various audiences about the development of his hammer-claw style of finger-picking. Recall, too: Knopfler took a break from 'rock' to record & do concerts with Chet Atkins before his death. That's not Clapton's style at all. Clapton is a great blues guitarist - Knopfler is a virtuoso guitar player (ain't no one gonna cut him down, any style) ..So, each followed a divergent path. BTW: I do agree with the comments about the tone of MK's Pen-Souza guitar - it just doesn't cut it. Even a clean sound needs a more throaty appeal in this context. Know what I mean?

I have always wondered, what happened to the duo of Clapton and Knopfler? For a couple of years they were joined at the hip. Lots of gigs and tours together but since then they have not played together. Not even at Crossroads! Did they have a falling out over musical direction or did they just lose their friendship. I have read all of Clapton,s bio,s and I cant find an answer!

[@amarkintimeconcerts6013]

Mark had a little band, Dire Straits to go back to, along with a Notting Hillbillies record and tours, so those 2-years (87-88) were just 2 great guitarists enjoying themselves.
