Eric's playing went straight to the soul.

[@Sheliahhh69]

Simply beautiful! Two icons, I truly enjoyed your reaction! There's so much I could say, I think it's best to just listen to the song. It touches your heart & soul. Keep them coming! Peace & Love! ❤️✌🏼

[@mayito0810]

I want to compliment you both for having such beautiful thoughts and sentiments. I thoroughly enjoy your feelings for each other. And your musical opinions are excellent. Continued success!!

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@mariabistuerovira3668]

Sometimes, when I'm feeling down, there are some things in this world that remind me that people can do incredible, magical and beautiful things. And life feels a little bit better. This is one of those things. Thank you for your lovely reaction.

Call out to our Holy Mother. She will bring you to her Son and you will find peace 🕊️🙏🥰

Eric Clapton wrote this song in honor of singer, songwriter and piano player, Richard Manuel of The Band( formerly Bob Dylan's backup band). Richard's influence on Eric caused him to leave the band Cream and change the course of his career. Richard, for years afflicted with addiction, hanged himself in his hotel room while on tour in 1986. The Band's final performance is the subject of Martin Scorcese's The Last Waltz which is the greatest concert film of all time.

[@Mr.Thermopyle]

Thanks ... for the background information ... I also love "The Last Waltz" concert movie ...

[@timothymoran1850]

Richard's daughter has been a friend for 35 years. Knowing the background you can understand Eric's lyrics are Richard's voice pleading for help. By the time of The Last Waltz, Richard was already well gone. @@Mr.Thermopyle

[@timothymyers3368]

@@timothymoran1850 It was also about eric being worried about his own sobriety after losing Richard who he was very close with.

Song was co written by singer songwriter Stephen Bishop.

Not gonna lie, I got goosebumps as soon as i saw the thumbnail. I knew what you were about to experience. And I don't practice any religion. The beauty of the human spirit and the joy that can be expressed through music are enough for me. Namaste.

[@robertm7071]

Anyone who has felt that low and desperate cannot but cry hearing this. Well done for choosing this as not many others have. Your choice of music these days is far more interesting as you have shifted to the truly beautiful music of the period.

[@nebidiaswift5200]

You called it a great collab- whether you love rock or opera this is a league of its own and superbly done

[@debrablumrogers5096]

Ive never heard this song ....Its ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL ❤️ Thank you for sharing this with us.❤️🎶🎵🙏🥰

[@torrencecullen8064]

It really doesn't get much better than this. Bravo!

[@jdbroders64]

I know and love this performance. Eric's was channeling something special from his beautiful voice to his soulful/singing guitar matched with the great Pavarotti. It was just magic.This is beauty.

[@RichColley]

I think you two are beautiful, I watch your reactions to music all the time everyday and the emotions that you both share to different songs just shows us the power of music … bless you both

[@mondeoman1954]

I follow your reviews all the time, and they brought me to this. I really don't know how anyone can keep from crying seeing this.

[@kimcutts6153]

Do you know what. What you two have is so rare. You really are a match made in heaven. Just beautiful people 🫂💖 I've never heard this song before, and you're right, this collaboration shouldn't work, yet it does, beautifully. I really enjoyed it. ❤🎶🎼

Beautiful.

[@dalemcmillan7231]

Something so Beautiful and different!!❤❤❤

[@KrazyKatLadyx2]

I'm so happy to see you reacting to this! I was very ill several years ago and I played this song throughout the nights while in the hospital. It kept me going. I cry when I play it now. Thank you 😊❤

[@johnathanstruble1064]

Sometimes collaborations should not work..but when they do. BAM!

[@hubrisnaut]

Good sir and madam, this was wonderful and moving. Mr. Clapton and Mr. Pavarotti shined upon my heart. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. I wiped away tears at times. We are human and have emotions. My thoughts went to so many lost souls, like mine. Sending love, Thomas

[@Mr.Thermopyle]

Eric Clapton and his magic guitar work combined with Lucianos Voice and the Sensual choir in the background opens heaven for a while ... only David Gilmour is also able to create this kind of atmosphere ... honest reaction from you both as always ...

[@jmitch8483]

Beautiful reaction

OMG MY heart be still

[@Moz1011]

I love this.

[@randolph795]

Wow. I’m a 58 year old Englishman so this should be on my radar but this is the first time Ive heard this. Great reaction.

[@johnruffner4532]

I'm so happy... I'm hanging out with the guys on Broadway... I just had to stop and check out the song of the day... So now the guys and me are going to chill and listen... absolutely fantastic

[@MrBillyrosewood]

You both are refreshing to listen to. Thanks for reviewing this performance. I would love to hear your comments on River of Tears from Eric’s Pilgrim Album. I have been listening to Eric for over fifty years and have never been disappointed. All the best.

[@hubrisnaut]

My brother and my niece sang and played Clapton's "Tears in Heaven" at my great grandmother's funeral. She was Catholic so the service was at her fine grand church. It was something very special. May I suggest you 'react' to it?

[@karenfryberger4260]

This performance is from one of a series of concerts called Pavarotti & Friends. They were benefit concerts - 10 in all - hosted by Luciano Pavarotti between 1992 and 2003 in his home town of Modena, Italy. Each concert featured a number of well-known artists from different genres and benefited a wide range of causes. This one was held June 20, 1996 to benefit Bosnia and fight world hunger. There are so many astounding performances from these concerts. A few personal favorites: Pavarotti and Tracy Chapman ("Baby Can I Hold You Tonight"); Pavarotti and Skunk Anansie ("You'll Follow Me Down"); Pavarotti and James Brown ("It's a Man's World"): Pavarotti and U2 ("Miss Sarajevo / Concert Version") - I hope you'll consider reacting to one or all of these as time goes on. They will blow your minds and fill your hearts.

What do expect when you get two great musical GIANTS doing a duo ?????? :) ............................. Peace and Love !

[@Almcosta25]

Eric Clapton is not just one great guitar player, composer and singer, he is also someone who cares about others and, as far as I know, he is a Christian believer. Many years ago, a young couple of friends became addicted to drugs and were send to a rehab house in England. One day they heard some commotion outside, came to the door and there was Eric, as he used to visit houses and rehab centres where young people were to tell them how an addiction can destroy a life, as well as the lives of those around him/her. Luciano Pavarotti was, will always be, one of the finest tenors, not only because of his vocal capacity, but also because of his sensitivity, becoming the character of the aria of the opera he was singing, translating feelings (words) through his voice. Thank you dear Andrei and Dominika for sharing this beautiful moment. I understand your feelings Andrei.

[@jeffreyfenko1797]

Eric founded, and has funded the Crossroads Rehab Centre in Antigua for the past 25 years. There have been 6 festivals to raise money, and the initial concert in Madison Square Garden in NY. He has auctioned off many of his best known instruments to aid the cause as well. A lot of the controversy he drummed up during the Covid lockdown was directly related to the affect the lockdown was having on people in recovery. He's very serious about rehab, and is personally active in the movement.

[@pippafinland]

You both are beautiful. Inside and out. So pure. ❤ I loved this song and collaboration as crazy as it was. I agree with Dominika, Pavarotti had a connection bigger than him when he sang. ❤

[@TravisTLCdrumming]

If you want some crazy guitar playing from Clapton do: Gin House Blues 1999 Yokohama.

[@Newfie-zc7ug]

For many , many years , Pav sang opera (in Italian mostly) but I've always thought he should do at least pop in English ..low and behold he started this Pav and Friends thing and well the rest is history my friends....................

[@blackbob3358]

Eric needed some solace when he lost his son. Glad he found it, wherever it comes from.

[@jeffreyfenko1797]

This song was written around the time his son was born. This was about Richard Manuel of The Band taking his own life.

[@johnathanstruble1064]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏♥️

[@philmead7977]

This was lovely, when you can, check out Luciano Pavarotti and U2 - Miss Sarajevo (Live)👌✌

[@roberthughes5279]

You need to listen to U2 and Pavarotti do the song Miss Sarajevo you won’t believe how beautiful it is

[@jeffreyfenko1797]

Eric always comes up big in the biggest situations. This concert was a benefit to aid children caught up in the Bosnian conflict. This song may be the most beautiful composition of his illustrious career. I know you guys have a deep appreciation for Mark Knopfler, so how about checking out a jam with Eric and Mark in another benefit from 1990, I Think I Love You Too Much kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHiymJeGhLWUeJo.

I'm, almost, sure, i'm one of the guy who told you to listen to that😂You said, 2 or 3 peoples told you to listen to that, and i remember i sent a message to told you to react about it! Because, i was sure, Andreyii would cry, and Dominica would take off her shirt😂I like your reaction so much... But, that time, Andreyii, was really sad😢What's wrong? Dominica is there for you, even if you feel sad, you have no right to cry, when somebody is with you, supporting you😢I said, i think i'm one of the guys who told you to react to that, because, i will see Eric CLAPTON, LIVE, in MAY, in PARIS😂 (I HATE THAT TOWN, EVEN IF I'M FRENCH, BUT, IT'S THE CLOSER TOWN FOR ME TO SEE HIM, i worked as a roadie, on a show when i was younger, this time, i will be in the audience😂)... You're a fantastic couple....Peace from France ✌️
