[@marycooper6188]

​@@davidmellish3295great to learn something new.😊

[@georgetebbens3524]

The drums are by far the trickiest part in nailing this song. Especially the fills leading back to the main riff after the change.

[@thomasgary1219]

I hope the late great Blind Willie Johnson who originally recorded this 1927 is smiling down from heaven on all of the people who love the incredible music he created. It's so sad that Blind Willie's mother died when he was very young, and his stepmother blinded him permanently by splashing poison in his face when he was 7 years old. Blind Willie may have died broke, sick, blind and alone but his music will be around forever. I think Eric Clapton did a great job with this song, but the original one Blind Willie did will always be my favorite.

Holy shit! Where to begin: so much talent on that stage. The rhythm section alone is as good as it gets - Steve Jordan on drums and the great Willie Weeks on bass. This must be heaven. Unbelievable. Seriously. Update: I keep coming back to this. Steve Jordan is a monster - the drumming is so good on this.

My wife and I were at the show that night at the (former) Sports Arena in San Diego. Best concert I've seen, and I've seen more than my share!

[@melissatyree566]

Tom, how lucky are you. Saw him many times in the 80,s when he wasn't playing this music from his catalog. But, it is EC , fabulous.

[@ChristianRThomas]

@@melissatyree566 I'm the same. Seen him live I think 4 times. At Blackbushe he was playing mostly the Slowhand stuff, in Sweden he was on the Just One Night tour so you probably know that set (superb album) and the Albert Hall times were a bit "man in Armani suit plays laid back songs and some blues, sleepily." So I've never heard him play this or even Layla. I've got this concert on DVD and it must have been mega, with this being the best version of Motherless Children I've ever heard. Yeah, lucky Tom. :)

Thanks for that. I was looking for someone that said who the kid was. I knew that I'd seen him around, and just looking at him he screams Allman, and - as it turns out - that's actually right! I'm guessing that he played with the Allman's when I seen them some time in the 20'naughts....

Yup. It's nearly note for note the same as the original on 461 but it somehow tops it with the extra energy. If I had to take one version to a desert island it would be this one.
