The best version of My Father‘s Eyes in my opinion.

[@bonnier.7063]

Eric Clapton was my dad's favorite artists, his favorite that he often sang was tears in heaven. My father's eyes was my favorite when my father pass away. I had a hard time looking at his eyes as I was losing my best friend when he was suffering with cancer. I was pretty young and felt lonely and scared but I looked into dad's eyes and helped him cross over . Dad I love you and God Thank You for bringing me closer to you. Thank you Eric

[@lady3219]

Glad that you had such a great dad being your best friend. My dad is still around but I never see him as friend...

[@royphelps8084]

This song took on a new meaning after my dad passed , I'm 64 now ,still miss dad everyday

[@animaladvocate8938]

Yes...my dear father too...he had the most gorgeous eyes...I had to watch him die from cancer too. At least we were there and loved our precious daddy's to the end. Its the best we could do. All we could give. Love.

[@lucianoalvesferreira1362]

I can't listen to this song without crying... I didn't have a good relationship with my Father... However, I want to raise my daughter "looking into my father's eyes"...

[@donnahawk6290]

The most gifted guitar player ever. I listen to him all day. Never grow tired of him

[@georgemelvin880]

Smiles, hello Donna 🌺😊

[@wmchowardiii]

I close my eyes and can see my father's eyes.......he's gone now, but he's always there with me.....

[@karimpaulrifaat3443]

[@chelpa2]

There will never be another musician who can gather a group like Eric Clapton can!! He takes the time to appreciate the musicians he loves as well as those who love him, and for this I am thankful!!

[@kimberlykairo]

No one who believes in God can ever be fatherless. He is the ultimate father to the fatherless, or even if you need a different kind of father than the one you have. God controls it all. No matter what you have, it's what God planned for you, and that is never wrong ❣❣❣

[@JonahKlepp]

Steve Gadd is amazing on drums

[@user-fu9vj9ix3g]

Yup. Great tone and tuning. The bass tone is off the chain, too.

[@gregorybankit7881]

I'm crying listening to this song I miss my father so much he was my best friend. Thank you Eric for this song.

[@TheKogunEnjou]

Man, Clapton really hit his peak from 1999 to 2007. I haven't seen a bad performance from him at all from those years. Every solo is just blistering. Even his voice is great.

[@Vickvineager]

After this Covid shit goes by, my goal is to see Slowhand before he goes, I’m already prepared for the price tag. Saw Tom petty 2 months before he died. That was 120% money well spent.

[@svbhonjal]

True that

[@captinbeyond]

I've never seen a video of him not bringing it and playing his heart out. Just a super talent and ear for the guitar.

[@user-fu9vj9ix3g]

1987-1989: August and Journeyman

[@chelpa2]

i could have THE WORST DAY at work, then come home and listen to some clapton and it all gets better!! i truly think he's the best musician ever.......

[@journey46]

eric never knew his father. he was abandoned by both his parents. this is a very personal and childishly hopeful song. conor, his son, died and he wasn't there to stop it. eric's story is universal and so is this song of searching. eric became a man the day his son fell 53 stories. a working man and a working artist. long road down to up. a bluesman, not someone imitating the blues.

[@ninihelenebaastad285]

He Knows. WE Don't. BE Aware, Take CARE... 🧙🌹🤶

[@vikramraj9771]

Same here ...crazy shit brothers .....please help me.....love this song .....

[@MarkHastings-yh6ej]

You are fn amazing I have been on the drugs like you and we both got through it all my friend, I would love for you to tour adelaide south austalia, I would give my entire savings account wich is not much more than one thousand dollars Eric Clapton, you are the best guitarist in the world, and always will be there will be very few people that are even close to being the best my friend keep up the rythym and blue's you are a living legend my friend Mark Hastings Austalia

[@MarkHastings-yh6ej]

Sorry Eric Clapton I meant to say Mark Hastings, Adelaide, South Australia.

[@MarkHastings-yh6ej]

So sorry for your loss of your beautiful son,tears in heaven, is a very personal song for you to even perform, I personally don't know how you don't break down emotionally, but I am sure that you do every day of your life, you are to much of a professional artist to show your emotions whilst performing, keep the blues, and Rock the world my friend, Cheers Mark Hastings

[@SuperGrayeagle]

Clapton is like a very god red wine, age only makes it better!

[@patrickdaniels95]

Nathan East is by far one of my favorite and best bass players in history. Him and Eric Clapton, my gosh, couldn't get any better.

[@user-fu9vj9ix3g]

That TONE!

[@Enielnicolas]

8 minutes? lies, i felt like was just like 2. WHAT A MAGICAL AND DEEP EMOTIONAL HEART! just thank you for put words to my emotions,

[@yuxxkaxxx]

私の父が良く車で聞いていました。 あれから月日が経ち、私は娘に聞かせています。色褪せないずっと聞いていれる曲です。

[@LaurenFrye-vu2jk]

Never be anyone that will top Clapton , he's (god)!! Clapton rules

[@taylormackenzie3742]

This version is so much better than the recorded one. Plus just seeing him makes it all the better.

[@karimpaulrifaat3443]

Encore.. Vous..,....

[@MenwithHill]

One More Car, One More Rider (the thing this clip is from) is by far the best Clapton live album, and almost certainly my favorite ever live album. It's so well recorded and has the most amazing performances from everyone on stage

[@guyincognito5706]

Taylor Bailey At times, instrumentally, perhaps, but the lead guitar on the recorded version is incredible. It truly sounds like it’s weeping on the original.

[@kateushko5320]

I have heard version that was a bit like reggae. Very nice as well 😊

[@maxiel1921]

Hi sir Eric Clapton! Today is my 34th birthday and I'm listening to all of your songs specially Wonderful Tonight cause it's my Favorite song of yours. Thank you for being my inspiration and your songs are my calming songs. Your avid fan from Philippines 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

[@adreambeach]

Eric Clapton ... one of the greatest musicians of our time!

[@mylesteller]

I've always loved this version of my father's eyes. I've always enjoyed this performance in particular, it was just executed so perfectly. These guys have been playing together for a very long time 💯

[@merryroope7348]

One and only Eric Clapton , talented, handsome and great singer,guitarist, love love you ,I am so thankful you were around when I was in the good music days!

[@SebSar-ef4zj]

Thank you Mr. Eric Clapton for many years of great music. , It will be a lonely place without you and your music. You are an inspiration to me and I'm sure to so many others too. You are the most true and sincere guitar player and a singer, we never have enough of your talent and performance. Your band and your drummer are awesome playing My Father's Eyes.

[@alicjaniewiarowska1669]

💓🎸👍🎶

[@TallGreyMan]

What an absolute legend! Everything from Songwriting to that adventure ride of a solo is pure brilliance!

[@bennettskb555]

We're lucky to have Eric, long may he continue.

[@rogersalley1421]

I think we’re lucky myself!

[@rogersalley1421]

I can hear his sadness in this song makes me tear up rest in love to Connor Clapton... In rememberance of his son😢❤️💙

[@rgrn220]

Prayers he will see him again someday, faith in God is only consolation for a broken heart… rip angel until you look into your fathers eyes. 🙏🏽✌🏽❤️

[@itsjjp]

Wonderful song and that closing solo was terrific!

[@maxd2262]

Mr. Clapton i have to take this opportunity to say thanks. Thanks for your music and thanks for your emotions, undescribable to most. But those who once get your music, they will never forget again.

[@karenkms2019]

Love this live version. A bit of reggae and r’n’b. So nice. Mr. Clapton is a very great guitarist.❤❤❤

[@Alkali64]

Just passed my 16th birthday, and the sweet sound of Eric Clapton's soulful voice and electric guitar still beats any gift I've had thus far in my life. Thanks Eric.

[@Gallus666]

Best thing that after the concert he propably sits in the car in the same shirt and drive to home/hotel. The point is he don't need any special effects, shiny things. He play, he sing and he do it the best in the world.

[@lynseycstormster4689]

Stunning! There's been times in my life when I have needed to look into my fathers eyes, sadly he wasnt interested..so, if you have a good father please let them know you love and appreciate them...its a hard road without them.

[@karimpaulrifaat3443]

oh coucou karim rifaat ✅

[@cindytrejo8580]

My father was a alocholist but he was good to the 6 kids he had

[@chriscorman734]

I'm sorry it turned out that way for you. If you are a father or plan to become one I think you'll be a dam good one

[@lucianoalvesferreira1362]

I can't listen to this song without crying... I didn't have a good relationship with my Father... However, I want to raise my daughter "looking into my father's eyes"... Thanks Eric !!! 2022 !!

[@xpditr]

you could make the argument that he is the greatest ever. He has never done anything that has made me think, " I don't really like that." I can't think of any other artist, group, performer, or whatever that I can say that about. usually I'm thinking, " Man, I really, really like that."

[@trevorgwelch7412]

After we are all gone from this beautiful Earth Mr. Clapton's music will live for eternity . ( In various formats )

[@BillSU77]

Amazing, my father looked into my eyes when I was two years old then he died and I have never been able to look into his - maybe I will be able to in that next place.

[@VeronikaLederer]

hugs

[@storkdance]

Peace.

[@kissfan003]

I was fortunate enough to get 12 more than that, but I have the same hope that you do! Peace Brother!

[@RELubber]

I’m sure you will.

[@sallymaggiespotty]

Eric Clapton and Hank Marvin are living proof of the superiority of the Fender Stratocaster.

Smiles, hi Sally 🌺

[@barber215]

Man, he has come a such a long way from his younger days. He now has so much fun playing the guitar. he's one of the greatest guitar players ever. Keep on playing, reptile. you're great

[@PinHead9707]

Standing ovation here! Majestic & brilliant. Respect. EC!!!

[@l2string]

This is one of his greatest live performances ever. Passionate perfection with every note. Unreal !!!

[@mayewil]

The worlds’ greatest blues guitarist of all time!

Eric is a guitar god. a wonderful song writer. when I listen to his songs I feel them with my heart and soul

I was a baby when (they) took me from my dad. In 5 now. So grandma is writing this. But the day will come when I can finally look in my fathers eyes!Mommy's are blue. Mine are are dark brown like daddy's. Baby Rocco.

[@daldoc76]

A most brilliant intro. Every note perfect. Soft and slow can indeed beat fast and loud. Play on, Eric.

[@rijantosandi]

Thanks eric, i love yours song. 😅

[@martinebalenci83-]

génial Eric ,virtuose de la guitare ,quel musicien fantastique !!!

[@captinbeyond]

this is in the top 10 best of clapton songs on the web IMHO. Billy Preston, the whole band just perfect playing.

[@tomdevoe7706]

Thank you, Slow! You filled a place with magic sounds.

[@gukobi]

A father who loves his boy. Someone who i have yet to live up to. Great video!!! thanx

[@mariocostantini7192]

In the 60s, people used to write on the walls: Clapton is God. Cream.

never realized how much,i love you,and miss you dad.after 18 years.thanks ERIC.

[@rasobolevic1793]

Thank you Eric

[@mweiford]

Just put this mother on autoplay, crank it to "10", and leave it on all day. Doesn't get any better than this.

[@celikiefer]

this songs and the singer( eric clapton) is not for everyone, is for who really know about music!!!!!!

[@danieldoiron5115]

luv eric, but theres another legend on that stage. drummer steve gadd whos played and recorded with all the greats. anyone who knows about drumming knows this. they always sound great together live. great job eric truly one of the best.

[@prathameshbhambure]

Eric Clapton is my hero. This man plays a big role behind what I can play on guitar. Man, I love him so much. "Thank you!" (in your style, Eric)

[@betajulio]

Intro solo is amazing

[@clapton461ob]

Simply, the magician is here !!! Dear Eric, still grow with you from the "no credit" solo of "While My Guitar", your solo years, (1970), 'till today and also looking forward... Wish you and fa all the best.

[@LC-xr5og]

Beatiful song🥰 you're my idol💕👏👏👏

[@bradmossman7201]

I knew my father. And wrote a song partly about him and I won a BMI award for it. I got a chance to play it for him in front of a large crowd . Tears all around.

[@stevenreed3090]

LOVE ERIC CLAPTON THANK YOU DO MUCH

[@pacmanelu]

A good composer is not always a good guitar player. I like Page and Beck, great musicians, but talking emotional Clapton is the first. He puts all his emotions in every single note. And he's songs are some of the best out there.

[@ada19521]

This means so much to me...my Father use to listen to this song with me...He has passed but I can still look into my Father's eyes and sometimes...cry...love this song!

[@Lifeofmuf]

He was accompanied by the best team 👍it take a group of musician to make this happen

[@Dgamer559]

Eric clapton songs guidelist: 1. awesome intro 2. some singing 3. epic guitar solo 4. moar singing 5. epic ending

[@klausjager1472]

Das ist ein wundervoller Song von Eric. Er weckt große, wunderschöne Emotionen an meinen lieben Vater. Leider hat er mich durch einen Autounfall vor 63 Jahren verlassen müssen. Da war ich gerade erst 12 Jahre alt. Er wird immer seinen Platz in meinem Herzen haben.

[@aordazmty]

Monumental, un verdadero héroe en la tierra, su música es alegría pura

[@lastgoodid]

cmon ppl lets not argue over trivial stuff..... lets just enjoy the music

[@TycoonGamer]

eric clapton - one of the greatest guitarists of ALL tim! long live eric clapton!

[@bridgetashmore7063]

So thankful for this reverential song and that Eric Clapton composed and continues to sing it !

[@alainwintquin9034]

Top de top! Tout comme le reste de ce merveilleux concert!!!!!! Merci Monsieur CLAPTON!

[@jasonteten]

you dont have to play fast fingers in guitar playing,.because fast fingers will take you only hours of practice,.but the feeling of blues music will take you years and even decades to get thru it..blues is easy to play but it is hard to feel..its not how fast your finger is,it is how you play the note..thats why eric clapton is i think one of the best guitarist in the world.

[@LopeMolinaRomero]

Si Clapton no es Dios, debe estar muy cerca de Él, pues la exquisita y sublime sensibilidad que tiene con la quitarra no es propia de cualquier "mortal"!!!

[@hermannstorcksdieck8056]

Ein geiles Lied vom besten Gitarristen der Weld gespielt.

[@JimTimber]

Wonderful ! I have loved your music for decades !!

[@francescobizzini2751]

Fifteen years that 've been listening to this version of "My father's eyes" and it's still simply wonderful! All the solos in this song are IMHO really inspired, but the longer final solo is one of the best ever played by Eric Clapton: I'll never be tired of playing it on my guitar. Thank You Mr. "Slowhand" for your music!

[@bartagl]

I think the popularity of this song is undeservedly low compared to other Clapton songs.

[@francesdunaway4398]

My soul mate for sure. My brother Jim is a beautiful replica of this man in talent and motion. If you ever get to see .357 in Cincinnati, you will be a believer. I feel every note and word Mr.Clapton plays & sings. In a previous life????

I miss my dad, I really wish to meet Him too, never met Him before, but I know one day I will when I return to Him.

[@djcook82]

This is a man that understands humanity. When I'm down I throw him on, and I feel better. That's what being a great musician is all about, being one myself, being able to tap into the great unknown, affect people in such a beautiful way. Eric, still wonderful. And he has grown as an artist. I've seen that just in my lifetime, and I'm only 31. It's an amazing process to watch.

[@carlosgarciad9191]

!Son excelentes¡. Este tema es increíble. Gracias Clapton y banda.

[@lauraball445]

when I look into the skies, that's when I see him. I say, "thank you," I see the rainbow. I see my father's eyes. every color, even while he cries, so do I.

Smiles, hi Laura 🌺

[@Karfre87]

the first minute in this song where he does that soft guitar solo with the soft piano in the back.... tears of admiration. i felt like a baby who finally learned how to walk.... it was that enchanting!

[@joelbraude3022]

I admire my father's and I missed him so much. Thank you for this beautiful song

[@garylaubscher9914]

I do not have my fathers eyes to look at ,did not even meet him until I was 30 years old. In spite of him leaving when I was born, when I met him he was a good man, but had his demons . He died 2 years later. The eyes I look into are my sons. He is a Family Minister at a church in VA. He was in an accident & lost the use of his legs. We still surf together & when I look into his eyes ... I want to cry but when I look a little deeper I see his passion for life, its all in his smile & his devotion to his 3 children , his wife and God

[@thepad4197]

gary, it's the FATHER SON SPIRIT passes between them. it is almost a genetic thing, understand. I'll pray for y'all. sldc3

[@charlescuda]

Gary, I had the same issue with my "father", What I don't understand is Clapton, who I love, had never even seen his father! I did wonder about the medal around his neck, religious?

[@garylaubscher9914]

Charles Nicholas, thank you for your reply. I did not know that about Clapton , very interesting to me thank you for sharing that. As for the medal on Eric Clapton's neck I will check it out and let you know what I find out. Charles I know nothing about you but it seems we have something in common , correct that, 2 things in common you like Clapton and had issues with your father, live long & rock on....

[@garylaubscher9914]
