Fantabulous! ERIC CLAPTON and CARLOS SANTANA - JINGO Live REACTION - First time hearing

[@marybaillie8907]

Does it get any better? Two of the most amazing guitarists sharing one stage. With Santana's Latin infused style and Clapton's blues infused style, this is a thrill to watch. No egos here, just a well respected admiration for each other's proficiency in perfection. Love the African drum beats which are so addictive. I think this is Dallas, 2004. Great reaction Harri. Thanks Harri and Cynthia. Great live choice. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

[@Cynthia...]

Thank you Mary.

[@TrianglesAndCircles]

I did not know this performance until now. It's amazing! I've loved Santana and Clapton my whole life, but have never seen them together. My mind is officially blown.

[@markhaus2830]

Yes Mary, you are right. Dallas 2004. Eric Clapton Crossroads Guitar Festival. I have the DVD.

[@JeanetteFaith]

@@markhaus2830 That crowd was probably stoned!!!

[@russellfisher2853]

I went to a concert with Eric Clapton and Santana. At the end of the concert, they both got onstage and played, after about a minute, Carlos, smiled bowed, and walked off stage. As if to say there's no way I can keep up with Eric Clapton. I think it was the best concert I've ever been to. 😊👍

Babatunde Olatunji wrote and first recorded this in 1959 on his debut album "Drums of Passion." Olatunji came to America in his early 20s to study at Morehouse College and NYU. His performances with the Radio City Music Hall Orchestra earned him a recoding contract with Columbia Records. John Coltrane was a big fan and through their friendship, Olatunji became well-respected in jazz circles, so much so that he recorded with many other prominent musicians (often credited as "Michael Olatunji"), including Cannonball Adderley (on his 1961 African Waltz album), Horace Silver, Quincy Jones, Pee Wee Ellis, Stevie Wonder, Randy Weston, and with Max Roach and Abbey Lincoln. Bob Dylan name checks him on his second album "Freewheelin' Bob Dylan" in the song "I Shall Be Free." Olatunji composed music for the Broadway theatrical and the 1961 Hollywood film productions of Raisin in the Sun. He assisted Bill Lee with the music for his son Spike Lee's hit film She's Gotta Have It. Grateful Dead fans would know him from his collaborations with drummer Mickey Hart's Planet Drum projects (they won a Grammy for the eponymous album). He spent his final years in California, dying from complications of Diabetes in 2003 at the age of 75. Great pick Cynthia and thanks Harri again for the reaction.

[@Cynthia...]

Thank you John. I have heard it by Babatunde Olatunji and I love this type of music.

[@russellfisher2853]

Eric Clapton is one of the best blues playing guitar man ever. A lot say the greatest. He's played with every 4:16 4:16 great blues player there is. The late great b.b. king was a very close friend of his. 😊👍

[@JeanetteFaith]

I've seen them separately but never together! WOW!! Eric Clapton was called GOD for a reason, but I love Carlos as well! (I think the crowd was probably stoned. )

[@phonebone81]

Wouwh, two guitar heroes together on stage. I like Clapton's relaxed demeanor without showmanship, that's just english understatement. He looks like he just come back from a picnic on the beach , -)) thanks for sharing Clapton`s crossroad festival, they always have the best musicians in the world there. Greetings @all from Hamburg (germany)

[@Waynet126]

Two legends with nothing more to prove.

[@albertsmith9315]

I bought every Crossroads Guitar Festival on DVD... there are so many of these gems on every disc. These two guys are great, but they are pushing each other to even more greatness.

[@raycewilliams3300]

What a treat. I did not know that these two artists were ever on the same stage at the same time. It's a remarcable contrast to their individual styles. I love Eric's playing but to be honest.... Carlos makes a guitar sing. His style is amazing. Thanks for bringing this collaboration to us. Take care.

[@rmac8008]

There were six crossroads guitar festivals Starting in 1999 Last one in 2019 Eric’s benefit to his Crossroads recovery ctr Many of the best have preformed Watch the whole shows

[@cynergy4]

Two of my top fave guitarists! Santana's mind blowing performance at Woodstock sparked my love for Latin music. When Santana played Woodstock he hadn't even released his first album yet! I've loved Clapton even longer than that!

[@mariaportengen2959]

Two of the most great guitar players. 🎸🎸🎸🎶🎶🎶❤️❤️

[@davebzen795]

Cynthia - One could not ask for more than to have this performance by EC, and Carlos Santana submitted, played, and then reviewed by Harri. We all have our favorite players, and for guitarists, I have always had Clapton and Santana in my upper tier. This specific performance has both of them at their best and in synergy. Bravo Cynthia! Harri, your review was quite enjoyable. Perhaps even electrifying at times.

[@Cynthia...]

Thanks for the kind words Dave.

[@daviddragavon7555]

Clapton passion comes through his fingers--and there is a lot of it. His style changes--on purpose--every few albums or so, always returning to the blues. Santana IS passion, from his toes to his ends of his hair! He said something to the effect that a solo without passion is a waste of time. I believe him. What a great combo Hari!

[@Eowyn187]

Dude all I saw was Clapton and Santana and I clicked. Doesn't even matter what material it is.

[@SGI999]

How good is this?!👏👏 Carlos and Eric together is a feast of guitar groove and spin. Love to watch you react when something special reaches into your soul♥️

[@TrianglesAndCircles]

My mind is officially blown. I agree with you Harri, I'm not sure if I could have stopped dancing if I were in the crowd.

[@coocoocachooglin]

It looked like the guy playing the bass was having the most fun, at one point he was smiling so big as if to say, "Hey mom! Look at me sandwitched in here jamming between Carlos and Eric!"

[@keithroberts4952]

Jingo was included on Santana's first album back in 1969. Great jam song!

[@troyalcorn1184]

Crossroads Festival happens every 3 years if my memory is correct. Eric Clapton started the festival. Eric did this for others. It is not about him. This is why it is happy and not competitive. It is appreciation of each other. The crowd probably was tired from watching 10 hours of music each day from the previous 2 days of the festival and I can only imagine I would be quiet too. I am only guessing because I never attended the festival yet. I will :) One day :)

[@richardconnolly4835]

Carlos is a great collaborator, check out Smooth with Rob Thomas or Game of Love with Michelle Branch - you'll be groovin.

[@markhaus2830]

Harri........Crossroads is a Guitar festival that Clapton has put on Every 3 years starting from 2004 to 2019. It is to benefit his Substance addiction Center in Antigua in the Carribean. This one was in Dallas Texas. He has them at a different location each time. Hopefully he will have one this year. He invites a bunch of great Artist to play.

[@StacyPadilla-qd2md]

This was a great performance. There are lots of videos out there of performers at the Crossroads festivals

[@suzannesellers7383]

At this level of mastery, the guitar responds to the player’s thought. The fingers are an afterthought. Jimi Hendrix played this way..he thought it, it came into reality.

[@stevenblock9712]

If you have not seen Santana playing "Soul Sacrifice" at Woodstock, you are really missing something. For real.

[@MisterWondrous]

So here we are, at the Charlotte Coliseum, watching Carlos and the band jamming down as they do, but on a rather spiritual tune, I didn't recognize by title, when who walks out, but Eric Freaking Clapton, guitar strapped on, and proceeded to bring the house down in what seemed one long jam, with encore. I was already stoned to the bone, so to say, when like Nessun Dorma, we reached higher octaves of being and sound. It was wondrous. It was the '70s. Our crowd WAS enthusiastic to the max, and stood the whole show, at least at floor level. Was wondering if'n you would know Hausa, Yoruba or Igbo. I hear they are used in Nigeria, and these are three that I am studying. Great show.

[@dsusan17]

I love Clapton! Great reaction Harri!

[@cliffordlowerre1381]

AWESOME! I have seen Santana live numerous times and they often use Bingo as an encore. Great tune to end a great show. Lo ba ba, lo ba ba, lo ba ba, lo ba. Love it. I agree Harri, wouldn't call Clapton Slowhand on this one!

[@Cynthia...]

Thanks for the great reaction Harri. What a combo. I was thinking the same thing, I couldn't hear the audience.

[@hossammoneib6377]

Two legends ❤ old is gold

[@beverlybrown2673]

Since it's billed as the Crossroads Guitar Festival, I assume this is one of the regular benefit concert Clapton did to raise money for his Crossroads addiction rehab clinic in Antigua, which he founded. It's quite pricey for those who can afford it, but also provides low to no cost care for those who can't. Clapton also spent some time there every year as a peer to peer counselor as part of his own recovery process. Giving back.

[@diane-]

This is a great video with 2 of the best! Thanks Cynthia and Harri.💞

[@agnetamalmqvist3776]

Now we are talking!!!

[@brendamilloy2557]

My first KZbin playlist was labeled "The Good Stuff." Now I have so many, I had to alphabetize my playlists by band/artist name. This performance still goes in The Good Stuff playlist, the best of the best. 😊

[@Bob_Cats]

❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 wow!!

[@pauldover1403]

I suppose that one of Santana's most successful times was spent in Paper Lace: Phil Wright - drums/lead vocals Mick Vaughan - lead/rhythm guitar/arranger Cliff Fish - bass guitar Chris Morris - guitar/vocals Carlo Santanna - guitar/mandolin/vocals

[@John_Chu]

Must have been during his lost Nottingham years. LOL.

[@ronnelson7828]

Santana did "Jingo" on one of his early albums.

[@Bear78420]

There are recordings of santana playing with Babatunde ☺️

[@craigreid7178]

Clapton, IMHO, was at his peak in CREAM. You should check out him in that band - much better than his more recent stuff, again IMHO.

[@laurabeaver4387]

Please watch eric clapton old love full version you will see eric and incredible keyboard

Thanks Agnete, this was a Dec request that got blocked.

There's an artist named "Jellybean" who does a fantastic dance version of this! His music isn't real well known, but he is known in the industry for his production skills (Madonna, Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, and the Pointer Sisters) - check it out sometime!
