[@andrejluneznik9254]

Eric Clapton is the only person to have been inducted into the rocnk´n´roll hall of fame 3 times. One of the greatest guitarists of all time. He spans genres like no other. So you can get funky to slow ballad, to hard rock, to soul and of course lots of blues. Some of his solos on live performances are just legendary. I´m sorry you didn´t choose a more recent live version of this song. But if you react to him in the future, don´t be surprised if it´s a completly different genre and style. There are plenty of great live versions of his hits on youtube. Check them our. He´s a rabbit hole you won´t get out of for many years to come. I promise you that.

[@JKevinCarrier]

Clapton is probably best known for his up-tempo rockers like "Layla", "Lay Down Sally", and "Cocaine". But he's done some slow ballads too, like "Tears in Heaven" and "Wonderful Tonight". Before he went solo, Clapton was in a band called Cream, which is also worth checking out: "White Room", "Sunshine of Your Love", "Badge", etc.

[@tjtampa214]

@JKevinCarrier Thx for writing all that out so I didn't have to. Ha. Britt - what he said. 😊 EC (and many singers) often have their usual style but then sprinkle in a number of songs with other styles - for good measure among their music catalogue. I must say I have not heard this live version, I always listened to the radio version or something from the studio album. This live version sounded more reggae than what I am used to. But I always heard Eric Clapton's version for many years before I ever learned that it was a Bob Marley song. And then I found out tons of people have covered it. LOL but mostly the ones I've heard of other artists they do it just like Bob Marley did but I've only heard EC do it differently but maybe there are others as well. I know the song you were talking about that you must have reviewed previously which was Tears in Heaven about his son who fell out a multi-story building window. That was definitely way more slow and melancholy, different. Yes but the man is a maestro on the guitar. 💜 Thx for this review! 🌷

[@matthewdooley7855]

The Layla/Wonderful Tonight combo probably gets him into the PDC eventually.

[@jimshorts6751]

"Before he went solo..." Clapton was in John Mayhalls Blues Breakers, The Yardbirds, Cream, sat in with the Beatles, Blind Faith, and Derek and the Dominoes.

[@theoryaminute]

"I did not know this man could play the guitar..." are words that no one has ever said about Eric Clapton before.

[@NOLAgenX]

IKR! Britt doesn't realize he was considered one of the very top guitarists, and he's still part of that all-time list.

[@scotthall3644]

He is considered one of the best

[@bryanstoudenmire]

😂

[@SherryAnnOfTheWest]

Hilarious!!!! He IS guitar. Most everybody else is just tryin' to catch up.

[@wanderer0617]

True dat 😂

[@RedSkorpioTV]

Eric Clapton is one of the best guitarrist of all time! In any list he is at least in the top 5.

[@tetaomichel]

2

[@AB-C1]

THATS the Great PHIL COLLINS on the DRUMS!! 😉👌 And Clapton Started Playing Blues in 60s, BUT COULD play ANYTHING and then career-wise went into Rock in 80s, Country, Bit of Bob Marley/Jamaican stylie for good luck and then started Playing acoustic sets in the early 90s started with Unplugged really(maybe 92?) but he has also sat in with and played Jazz and big band stuff on the quiet innrecent years, also played eith Pavarotti before he died. But he pretty much Plays EVERY style!! (But in his own style!) He's probably THE COOLEST Guitarist that ever lived, REAL Ladies man(shopping list of models, supermodels and female musicans that would take an hour to list!) Mad to think hes the same age as my Dad whi uswd to go watch him live on a friday or Saturday night in London with the other greats in the 60s and early70s! lol 😂😉😎👌🎸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

[@timpwhit]

Clapton started out in hard/psychedelic rock groups like Cream and The Hollies, where he first earned the nickname "Slowhand" for his incredible guitar playing. He has been compared favorably over the years to greats like Jimi Hendrix and Terry Kath of Chicsgo for his guitar skills. I loved him in Cream growing up especially.

[@leannmiller7153]

Eric was in eight bands, I’ve never heard or read of him ever being in The Hollies.

[@tonyherrera2570]

Eric was never a member of the Hollies. You probably meant the Yardbirds…

[@timpwhit]

@@tonyherrera2570 Sorry, I was winging it and didn't stop to doublecheck, just went off an obviously faulty memory lol. Thanks for the correction.

[@timpwhit]

@tonyherrera2570 In thinking about it, I realized I didn't get the same of the band wrong--it was the wrong artist lol. I was thinking of Graham Nash, not Eric Clapton for some reason. don't ask me why. I'm quite familiar with Cream, but The Hollies are a band I heard a million times growing up, but I never memorized who the band members were.

[@stephenhuber1219]

[@happymethehappyone8300]

Another MUST HEAR Classic from a true legendary music icon,, Eric Clapton "Motherless Child" 🎶❤️

[@sherribrock2726]

He is just known as one of the best guitarist ever!

[@guitarman8462]

Clapton once did say that he wanted to make an album with Bob Marley. Unfortionally Bob Marley passed away. Although Eric Clapton did make an album with Peter Tosh.

[@brheinfeldt]

I love how different Slow-Hand's version is from Bob Marley's original. More Rock than Reggae, but that's Clapton's signature on it. I also love what Ren did with it! Note to Britt: Eric Clapton a.k.a. Slow-Hand is an exceptional guitar player first with singing & songwriting close behind. Besides being a solo act, he played with Derek & The Dominoes, and Cream.

[@colinhildreth5701]

Thank you for sharing this iconic Clapton cover. May Eric RIP. In Heaven with his son.

[@JDogg1971]

Brit. Go down the rabbit hole. There is a well known phrase which reads “Clapton is God”. While he’s not, the man has so many bangers. Especially if you check out his blues music and his masterpiece unplugged album. Anyway, yeah. The man can play the guitar. And sing. Great reaction!

[@tombaldwin1700]

He does a rock/reggae version of this Marley classic! Had a hit w/ it too…scope out “Bad Love” (w/ Phil Collins on skins/Harmony vocal)…”Let It Rain”…ima be waiting patiently!

[@JDKDetroit]

Eric Clapton is one of the best guitarist ever everyone knows this he said when ask how it feels to be one of the best he said I don’t know ask Prince you can google it 100% true

[@cheyennehunt9954]

The Live Aid version of Layla is probably his best performance.

[@26aitches]

The Layla version from 1986 at the NEC, Birmingham is stunning.

[@happymethehappyone8300]

TRUST ME on this MUST HEAR classic my music lovin' sister,, Diana Ross "Love Hangover" ❤..If there's a cure for this,, I don't want it,, Don't want it. 🎶

[@guitarman8462]

There are other great version Clapton did of this song. For instance his version from : Crossroads 2 Live Boxset - Crossroads Festival - Live At Hyde Park - Live At The Old Grey Whistle Test. Those are just a few of maaany.

[@starman2337]

"Andy's the Sheriff, and Barney is the Deputy."

[@Jjack1392]

Known by Rolling stones magazine and other publications as the best rock guitarist of all time. Clapton is a legend in the rock world

[@pamagnolia]

Great cover of the song. Really enjoy Clapton’s music!! 😊

[@chrissiler6075]

Eric was just playing the song as the session broke for lunch and the drummer and bass player were digging it and by the time the producer and engineer came back from lunch, they had a chart to play

[@neildonley9626]

Also a member of the Yardbirds and John Mayall's Blues Breakers in his early years. The Yardbirs had Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page in the bans on guitar at one time or another.

[@loveloochay]

And ....... just for the record , Mr. Eric Clapton has been referred to as "the guitar God" since the 1970s. I don't mean to be a wise guy , but , you have much to learn about Rock music. Eric was not only a solo star .. but also the star of Derek & The Dominos , Cream , The Roosters , Blind Faith and The Yardbirds. He is a guitar legend .. enjoy the ride Britt. 😊

[@LoveBandit1000]

"Everyday the bucket goes to the well but one day the bottom (of the bucket) will fall out"....

[@matthewdooley7855]

He's on the MOUNT RUSHMORE of great guitarists. In the UK, "Clapton is God" was a popular graffiti tag. Classic Clapton. He and the Police did a lot to introduce Americans to the reggae sound. For a long time Eric felt like he wasn't a good enough vocalist to be a front man - though I think he's also just shy. He spent years as a shut-in while dealing with his addiction issues. "Cocaine" is another classic Clapton jam, though "Layla" is by far his best ever creation (and that's a story song with a huge story behind it). Clapton has toured so long he'll re-arrange stuff just to keep it fresh. He's had a VERRRRRRY long career, and has changed a lot - always goes back to blues music eventually.

[@tkremarkTK]

An English chap, who has a huge mansion 20 minutes away from me in Dublin, Ohio, (Columbus, Ohio)

[@williammark4563]

Oh, I forgot, he has got like a 55 year career and even played on a Beatles song.

[@wgdavis5353]

Hi Ms. Britt, I love this song, Mr. Eric took some liberties with it in this live performance.. Mr. Bob Marley does a nice version.. Mr. Eric was in a Super bowl Ad in 1988.. ♠Mr.G..

[@guitarman8462]

Check out " Clapton At The Crossroads Festival - I Shot The Sheriff - ".

[@robblaber6655]

Quite a rabbithole here, but I would suggest "Forever Man" from MTV days in the mid 80s

[@neilgayleard3842]

English rock God and guitar hero.

[@RobertDavisAdman]

I love your reactions. Eric Clapton is one of the best guitarists of all time, easily one of the top three. He played with the Yard Birds along with Jimmy page and Jeff Beck. All three of them are the greatest guitarist of all time at least they’re on the list. Personally, I put BB King at the top of the list with Jimmy Page a close second. Eric Clapton probably third but there’s Duane Allman. Lol.😊 and of course Jimmy Hendrix….and Eddie Van Halen and Stevie Ray Vaughan…

[@John-yx4dc]

This is a bouncier funkier version than the album version. This was because Montreau is a jazz festival so this seems aimed at the audience.

[@tom7471]

Certainly considered a top five guitarist of all time by most everyone! Thanks for the reaction!

[@brittreacts]

No doubt!

[@kurtschmidt9760]

Yes you have reacted before. You reacted to tears in heaven which was a very heavy song. Great reaction

[@crunchyhippo8957]

It's a great song. Studio version is much better, though.

[@WolvenHeart1]

What would have been wild is a Clapton/Hendrix dueling guitars

[@mdm54]

he is rated one of the best guitar players

[@scooter196439]

Check out his song "Old Love"

[@mdm54]

yes he was rock bu then went to blues

[@dbugs58]

I think the difference is this is a live version, live almost always sounds different I know a lot of people prefer live over recorded I personally think recorded is better than live.

[@garyarnett1220]

Very good cover of a Marley song.

[@valogden]

There is an interesting story about the song Layla. If you react to it, I'm sure you will be told a few times. It has to do with the Beatles George Harrison's wife.

[@mikewood6071]

Clapton was terrified over covering this song, he was overly self critical and thought Bob Marley was going to hate it…until Bob Marley said he liked it

[@farfromperfek]

Clapton has played in several different genres, however his main style is blues.

[@bradbowen]

You should check out Eric Clapton and Sheryl Crow singing Jimmie Hendrix's, "Little Wing" here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6eUeZerg9itoLc They are playing w/ an amazing group of musicians, each one among the best in the world on their instrument : Nathan East - Bass, Steve Gadd - Drums, David Sanborne - Sax, etc..

[@KeyzCollects]

You should do Riding With the King by BB King & Eric Clapton

[@Lightmane]

So now you're going to listen to Ren's version, yes? Not the one you listened to... but the other one, where Ren is wearing red suspenders. That one : )

[@kevinpugh3291]

Try his early stuff with "Cream" . . .

[@johndixon9867]

React to Layla if you want to hear him play guitar. He is God

[@someoldguyinhawaii4960]

The tempo is a little different - less Reggae as it was originally

[@nathan3252]

I ate the sherrif but I didn't eat the deputy. Oh no. I ate the sheriff and I swear I should have added salt. mmm mmm mmm

[@lynnieiapichino1121]

☮️💙💙💙🔥🔥🔥😎

[@paulharris8364]

You really need to listen to Bob Marley’s version.

[@maxsparks5183]

No, Eric didn’t shoot the sheriff. Bob did. 😏

[@jimcarberry8262]

You can't nail Eric Clapton down to any specific type of music. The man is a guitar genius! One of the worlds greatest!

[@andrejluneznik9254]

Eric Clapton is one of the greatest guitarists of all time. Go check out more of his music. I´ve seen your reaction to Cocaine about 10 months ago. You´ll find plenty of extraordinary live performances. Try some more recent ones. He is known to be comofortable in very different genres. From slow pop ballads, to hard rock, blues, country,.. Jesus, the list is endless. Musicians like that don´t exist anymore. it´s crazy what a cataloge of songs this guy has. He had an amazing career. From the wild 60´s where he played with Hendrix and the Beatles, to this day when he´s almost 80 and relases covers of Willie Nelson as a tribute for his 90th birthday. He is a legend of rock and a legend of blues (working with Buddy Guy, BB King, etc) You will have fun exploring his songs, trust me. Try reactions to live perfomances after the year 2000.. You can find lots of his most memorable songs on his Crossroads guitar festivals (he does one every 3 years). They feature him with some of the best musicians of all time.

[@JamesCole-ep4df]

Clapton is considered a top-five guitarist all time and there’s many incarnations of Eric and his bands but most of his stuff is rooted in the blues. Many great albums still touring and has played with many different musicians. If you remember Derek and the dominoes in the song Layla that’s Eric teamed up with Duane Allman after playing with him on the Layla album stated he had finally found his musical brother He’s played on Beatles and George Harrison’s albums and I could go on and on with all the bands. He is definitely on the mount. Rushmore of guitar players. So much great music.

[@matthewdooley7855]

Great summary!

[@dagmar.6954]

"I Shot The Sheriff" was written by Jamaican reggae musician Bob Marley & he recorded it in 1973 with his band the Wailers. Eric Clapton did a great cover of this song in 1974.

[@yuppers54]

Claptons cover of this song did much better than Marley's. This version is sung way different than Clap tons 1974 version.

[@dillwack]

Good job repeating what Eric said before he covered the song…

[@triman95]

knowing now that it was written by Bob Marley, that line "Every time I planted a seed, he'd say kill it before it grow" makes a lot more sense!

[@paulstewart6203]

And the great Phil Collins on left-handed drums.

[@Gashouse69]

CLAPTON IS GOD! was a 60's slogan seen painted and drawn all over from signs to buildings to bathroom walls. Clapton performed with several iconic groups. The Yardbirds, John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers, Cream, Derek and the Dominoes, Blind Faith & of course his solo work.

[@matthewdooley7855]

OMG - has Britt discovered STEVE WINWOOD yet? "Can't Find My Way Home" is AMAZING.

[@Diane-vl2jf]

Love your reactions but please get a different filter so we can see the video

[@EconAdviser]

He's one of the very greatest and most famous rock guitarist. He led the band Cream in the 1960s. His first super hit was Sunshine of Your Love, and Layla is everyone's favorite! White Room, Lay Down Sally are also insanely good. Played with 9 different top bands. A leading spokesman for Rock music!

[@thomastimlin1724]

This song was a hit around 1975 for Clapton, originally Bob Marley's song.

[@debibailey2968]

He's singing it a bit more like the reggae cadence vs how he recorded it. This is a great rendition! He has a base in early Rock, but he loves the Blues. He's one of the GOATS of guitar work! Love Clapton!!! Try Bell Bottom Blues, Cocaine, or Layla!! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@timgravier7804]

Britt - check out the remix of After Midnight by Clapton. React to it as well.

[@quintondees4501]

Eric Clapton is one of the best guitar players ever

[@giuliogrifi7739]

Sorry, I can hear Britt's interesting reactions, but.....I can't hear the songs !......am I doing something wrong ?.

[@KM769]

Cream - I feel free (1966), Sunshine of your love (1967), White room (1968) Derek and the Dominos - Layla (1970)

[@richeswebcraft]

My favourite Clapton period was his time with the UK rhythm and blues band John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers. Well worth a listen.

[@Muffdiver-ou812]

Check out the song Wonderful tonight by Eric Clapton. I think you’ll enjoy it!

[@carefullbob8136]

I don't want a thing from U. You wanna be there in 10 yrs Ya need help.🐧🐧🐧🍀🍀🍀

[@CreepToBeast]

He’s giving this a funk vibe with blues vocals.

[@americanmutt9089]

Eric Clapton is the GOAT on guitar!!! Phil Collins is playing the drums. Checkout his song The Core.

[@matthewdooley7855]

lol- I thought that guy looked familiar! Should've known - Eric loves getting guests to join him. Come to think of it, he has some things in common with Chris Stapleton.

[@greendragonpublishing]

You need to react to his "Wonderful Tonight" and the PDC will have a new member. It's my favorite love song.

[@darinsutton7638]

Check out Wonderful Tonight ... by Eric Clapton it is a slower but super cool song .. oh yea Eric is the top 10 best guitarist ever . Nicely done Mrs Britt ..

[@stucando00]

Eric is probably the main mousse that black R&B became popular. in main stream music..he is a musical protege..and lives for music and was obsessed with R&B and early black music...the true great guitar masters like BB king..watch 12 bars..the movie about Eric...who created superstar bands....and is the only person to be inducted into the rock & roll hall of fame 3 times..and he is the best guitarist ever..who was known as GOD...that is how good he is..I think the only other guitarist in his league is mark knopfler from dire straits and they have become great friends who played often together

[@TreeBuddy2]

Please check out Eric's song "Wonderful Tonight" Official Live. Great Reaction Britt

[@brittreacts]

I’ll check it out!

[@happymethehappyone8300]

The PERFECT way to start your day & His MOST uplifting song ever..Bob Marley "Three Little Birds"...R.I.P. Robert Nesta (Tuff Gong) Marley..One Love For True..Rastafari 🙏❤️

[@gvrussell9230]

Clapton is the yardstick by which guitarists are measured for 60 years. Great vocalist also.

[@aleclewis9123]

Eric Clapton, Phil Collins, Greg Phillinganes and Nathan East....one of the best line-ups. 😀 They enjoyed it so much, they actually called it 'The Heaven Band'. 😉

[@clappat8945]

Hi Dee, I suggest you to react to the version of I shot the sheriff performed in 1997 at Hyde park London.... It's amazing and fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥 also there is a duet Eric Clapton and Mr Pavarotti at Modena Italy : Holly Mother. It's mind blowing. You will not be disappointed for 1000%.... Take care and a thousand thanks from Algeria 🇩🇿

[@katehurlahe7711]

EC plays the music differently than on the recordings. He said he didn’t want the audience (or himself) bored. I still remember the “CLAPTON IS GOD” graffiti.

[@markrobinson5034]

Now you've seen him play a little a whole new world may have opened up for you, check out '24Nights',a live concert at the Royal Albert Hall, every song👌🏻, 'Pretending' being my favourite, don't forget he also did duets, Tina Turner etc. By the way the public always said about him '' CLAPTON IS GOD '' says it all really, he also did soundtracks, the film 'RUSH' and the tv series 'Edge of Darkness'. Also, would you revisit 'More than a feeling' by Boston, watch the original with Brad Delp singing, I know a few people have mentioned it. Love the channel.

[@kennethgay559]

Britt, You said "1986 that's before I was born!" Eric Clapton originally covered this 1973 Bob Marley song in 1974! So this was 12 years later! LOL!

[@marleybob3157]

You didn't know Clapton could play the guitar like this???? I suppose that is one of the reasons for this channel - to entertain and to learn. In the 1960's, it was not uncommon to see "CLAPTON IS GOD" spray painted on a wall. He is considered one of the best rock guitarists of all-time (Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Eddie Van Halen, Carlos Santana are also on the short list). I saw him in the 1990's when he did a retrospective of his career over about three hours. It was an amazing concert, that concluded with his version of the classic "Over the Rainbow" (from the Wizard of Oz").

[@mikefetterman6782]

Since 1966 when "CLAPTON IS GOD" was the popular graffiti of the time. His guitar prowess in unmatched by many. He is in the Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimmy Page, Eddie Van Halen class of being influential on guitar. These are the right words, you may just not remember all the verses.

[@OddBall1958]

If you're into Clapton you really need to check out the "Just One Night" double album set. I recommend "Cocaine" "After Midnight" and "Lay Down Sally" in that order. Thanks

[@happymethehappyone8300]

Another MUST HEAR Classic from a true legendary music icon,, Eric Clapton "Motherless Child" 🎶❤️

[@johncagnettajr344]

Check out early Clapton with CREAM. “Sunshine Of Your Love”. He shares lead vocals with bass player Jack Bruce.

[@tonyherrera2570]

If you want to see an even younger version of Clapton? You should react to “Crossroads” performed by Cream (Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker, and Eric Clapton) in 1968. Eric takes the lead vocal on the song and does a magnificent job singing and playing. It’s really worth a view…😊👍🏼👍🏼.

[@mikeross14]

This was Eric introducing Bob Marley's Reggae music to the U.S. do bob Marley's" No woman,No cry!" or do the original by Bob !

[@LordVader66]

Bob Marley made some great amazing songs. Hope they do the movie of him well. Great cover by Eric Clapton. R.I.P. Bob Marley

[@jpcantrell1]

He's doing it quite differently than the studio version. I like the studio version better

[@blindriv3r]

It was in this era that Clapton did the TV ad for Michelob beer playing JJ Cales' After Midnight, prompting this from Neil Young kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYS2p615g6eporM

[@loveloochay]

🤔🤔🤔🎼 ... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr .. 🦝 .. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr .. okay , you have been at this for over a year , and after watching this whole reaction video , I still am not sure that you know this is a cover. And , not just a cover.. a cover of a Bob Marley song ????? ...... Howwwwwwwwwwwww ??? Howwwww do you not know this ? How ? ... it seems impossible that you do not know that this a Reggae classic from Bob Marley. Here I go .. shaking my head again. Guess that is what I get for being 57 years old. 😢

[@deckofcards87]

Originally by Bob Marley and The Wailers. This is one of the few ocassions where I actually prefer the cover.
