Billy Preston just blows the roof off in his organ solo!!!

[@timkeagy4094]

I was at this show. When Billy Preston played that solo, every single person in that place, went crazy. And stayed that way. That show blew the roof off.

[@chrisherbolsheimer4573]

I love how everybody keeps referring to "that organ player". He is Billy Preston and he was THE organ player.

[@ktcmojo]

That is NOT Billy Preston genius

[@chrisherbolsheimer4573]

Kip Caven You need to pay attention before you make smartass, condescending remarks. The first keyboard player is not Billy Preston, but the second guy, ya know the one playing the HAMMOND ORGAN, is ABSOKUTELY Billy Preston. Furthermore, you can disagree with someone without adding the ignorant "genius" comment.

[@chrisherbolsheimer4573]

R.I.P. Billy no one could play the Hammond better than you you will always be in our hearts

[@mrblue6349]

How anybody could give a thumbs down to this is mind blowing. This group of musicians is by far one of the greatest bands Clapton has assembled. The rich and diverse history of each player is astonishing. Starting with David Sancious: a native of Asbury Park, NJ was an original E Street Band member and recorded with Bruce Springsteen on the first 3 albums. David also recorded and toured with Peter Gabriel, Sting, Stanley Clarke and many others Steve Gadd: what can one say but Steve Gadd is the man. You have all heard his drumming magic on songs like Paul Simon's "50 ways to leave your lover" and Steely Dan's "Aja". Steve has toured with Clapton, Joe Cocker, Simon & Garfunkel, Steely Dan, James Taylor, Chick Corea and many more Billy Preston: Bless your Soul Mr. Preston. With a long history of solo top 40 hits, toured with so many bands and recorded and performed with Sam Cooke, Ray Charles, "The Beatles", "The Rolling Stones" as well as Eric Clapton and George Harrison. A master organist. Nathan East: Nathan is an amazing bassist and has over 2,000 recordings. He has also recorded and co-written songs with Eric Clapton, Michael Jackson, Joe Satriani, George Harrison, Phil Collins, Stevie Wonder, Toto and Herbie Hancock. Andy Fairweather Low: A teenage idol in the 60's while in the band "Amen Corner". They had several top 20 hits. Going solo in the 70's Andy wrote and recorded many more great songs and had several more top 40 hits. Andy has recorded and toured with Roger Waters, Eric Clapton, Leo Sayer, Gerry Rafferty, Dave Edmunds, Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris, Joe Satriani and was a fill-in guitar player for The Who. Pete Townsend was in rehab so Andy filled in recording and rehearsing on their 1982 album "It's Hard". Andy had previously sang backups on their 1978 album "Who are you". Eric Clapton: Not much explanation of defining needed. The Roosters, Casey Jones & The Engineers, The Yardbirds, The Bluesbreakers, The Immediate All-Stars, Eric Clapton and the Powerhouse, Cream, (Eric recorded with "The Beatles" and George Harrison solo), Blind Faith, Delaney and Bonnie, Derek and the Dominos with slide master Duane Allman, Yvonne Elliman and Marcy Levy, Tina Turner, Roger Waters, Stevie Winwood and the list goes on and on ...... Guitarist, singer & songwriter extraordinaire ......

[@worldonfire1539]

Thanks so much for the rundown, Mr Blue. With just a couple exceptions, those being EC and Billy Squire, I had no idea about the other musicians and was happy to find exactly who they were! All I can say is, this tune blows my socks off every time I hear it!

Ever hear of Eric driving over to the Harrison home all wasted and saying "Ok Man ...we are going to have a guitar playing contest and the winner gets the girl " Eric was so bombed.... George knew he could outplay him so he goes "Ok Brother" Patti said "Fuck you both " and went to her sister's house in London...ha ha

Look, I am an accomplished electric guitarist and I've had the good fortune to have been listening to EC since 1966 and one of the greatest things that differentiates Eric from all others is his six sense for fantastic improvisational blues melody. Oh, for anyone that says " Oh...and for those days that he repeats himself a lot or that he may fall back on too many "clicky phrases" those and listeners that makes this version of "Have you ever" so amazing. You must realize that Mr Clapton is completely in command of that Eric Clapton Signature Series Strat and the sustain that is in part

[@davidodaniel772]

others is his six sense for blues melody. I get pissed off when someone says that Sir Eric Clapton repeats himself too much. Fuk that! Those licks of his sound so fucking good, who the fuck cares if he plays them a lot. I want to hear them for eternity.
