Eric Clapton performs "Further On Up the Road" 2000 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony

[@ericmaughan6579]

Eric has always been very generous on stage. He never hogged the limelight. He delighted in giving other guitarists a chance to shine. He's not simply the greatest guitarist, he's also an absolute gentleman. Long may he reign.

[@prathameshbhambure]

Amen to that.

[@WEFAT13YQUE]

Eric Clapton took The Blues To Heart.

[@barrysallows1777]

THAT WAS WONDERFUL!! ERIC AND ROBBIE PLAY WONDERFUL TOGETHER !! THE BANDS GREAT!!

[@tommymorgan4677]

I`m a big Clapton fan and it`s so nice to see him with Robbie. One of my favorit clips is from " The last walz ". A must see.

[@thomashermann2785]

In my opinion the gold standard. No one plays like Eric. Fluid, smooth. Resume like no other

[@erickmorales8285]

Just listen to Jeff beck solo of this song.

[@robertaceves5248]

Buddy Guy is still thee OG

[@tcb5141]

In my opinion, when Eric is pushed by a fellow guitar player Eric shines

[@robmorrison1043]

EC the greatest guitar player of his generation. The most copied but never duplicated player of all. He has shown all that came after him how it should be done. I suggest to anyone who wants to understand the blues and EC to watch" Nothing but the blues" a documentary by Martin Scorsese and featuring EC in concert doing nothing but the blues. It is a master class on how the blues were meant to be played and sung. EC at his best. His playing is so good, his voice is often looked over. To me he sings and sounds like Ray Charles, and that's high praise! Thank you EC for a lifetime of excellence!

[@suzanneglad4625]

Sorry. That honor goes to Buddy Guy. Eric Clapton is a close second, but he's still second.

[@pabloperez4063]

eric sing like nobody else

[@FantasyIsLifeWela1955]

Completely agree. There is not now or ever been anyone like Clapton.

of his generation...and if the next 10...until the end of rock.

[@jean-marieboucherit4716]

Seethe energy Robbie R wastes with his movements.

[@vc23]

I love Eric, he never feels the need to "show off", by getting right at the front of the stage, especially when he's playing with other great musicians, he'll stand back until it's his time to sing. Him and Robbie always play so well together, like their guitars are talking to each other

[@tiernan7829]

Wow, no one acknowledging Robertson? He’s one of the greatest to ever do it.

[@jordansmith5978]

@@tedfio1tedfio1 I guess unless you’re one of the best 25 guitar players to ever exist you aren’t one of the greatest….

[@jordansmith5978]

@@tedfio1tedfio1 well my point was, you can be one of the greatest and not be top 25. Top 100 in my book still gets you considered one of the best ever

[@WEFAT13YQUE]

Acknowledged.

[@joeymeyer808]

For those who are a fan of The Last Waltz, it’s very cool to see them performing this song together again so many years later. For those who are not a fan of The Last Waltz, please become one.

Wow Clapton we go back a long time you making your music and me listening to it.

I absolutely love how Bob and EC had a beautiful guitar conversation in that intro. Aren't they just adorable! Thank you, Bob! You'll forever be celebrated by me.

[@hannejeppesen1809]

Do you mean Robbie?

[@prathameshbhambure]

@@hannejeppesen1809 Yeah... Robbie, Rob, Bob, you know!

[@hannejeppesen1809]

Not to be too nitpicking, or that it matters that much. Robbie Robertson real name was Jaime Royal Robertson. His mother called him Jaime, his stepdad Jim or James. His friends in school starting calling him Robbie and that stuck.@@prathameshbhambure

[@hannejeppesen1809]

I will check it out. No, I don't speak Hindu. I speak English and Danish (born and raised in Denmark)However, I enjoy many forms of music, don't always have to know the language to enjoy the music. I enjoy many hebrew songs, having lived in Israel. Also like songs in German and French.@@prathameshbhambure

[@rmark3070]

Amazon Prime, “The Last Waltz”, contains the final concert of The Band. See Robertson, Clapton, Levon Helm and so many more. Further on Down the Road great, Clayton’s guitar strap breaks and Robertson covers it so smoothly you’d never know. Fabulous music!

this performance is very special.

[@its_your_girl_ari3186]

Wheather or not his music is the best music to listen to go Mr Eric Clapton

[@matsellah]

EC is just wailing here, something he can probably do in his sleep. But most folks in the audience just don't seem to be aware of what they're witnessing. At any rate, like he said in the video montage, here's this 'banker' (thanks, lawchihei) playing the blues like he was born to it, and you would never expect that. Amazing.

[@johnobrien8910]

many say he was overated it was tony iommi said we were all listening to hank marvin then eric blew us away in the yardbirds at 18. john mayall cream blind faith dominos solo. great player 55 years on the road and winding down this year no more world tours.doesnt matter eric thanks for your music you've done it all.

Clapton never, ever does anything to suprise me. Predictable, pentatonic jamming. He was a pioneer mid/late sixties absolutely, and deserves credit for that, but he has been treading water ever since.

Is Will Lee on the bass?

[@SRY.GODISGOOD.92]

Did anyone ever think in just 23 years so many things would change. What happened?

[@LordofDublin4]

I'm not knowledgeable enough to say who's the greatest guitar player of my generation (I am a Baby Boomer). And I think those who post on here or anywhere else aren't either unless you have something on your resume that says you yourself know how to or have played with the very best. With that said .... I'll close by saying my "Top 5" would be .... Stevie Ray Vaughn, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, and Peter Frampton. And a name not as well known who I have enjoyed is a guy named Kal David who has played with some of the best. Check him out on KZbin for a taste.

[@mitchellpacker542]

The joke was always his nickname "Slow Hand" it's like calling a 350 pound man "Tiny".

We shall never know if Jimi could have been as versatile as Eric so why even mention him. Eric seems to be able to play and sing in any style and his music is very listenable to while jimi's occasionally was ott. Stop comparing please.
