Eric Clapton Alberta -1977

I cannot hear any version of this song without saying "''ang on, 'ang on, 'ang on" after the first bar

[@Lemma01]

Heard this broadcast 'live', as a young teen. Fair to say it never left me, and I'd still like to play like this - each chord, each bend succeeding inevitably. This is close to perfection- which is a bit more than you might say about Eric. Who's deffo close to god, obviously.

[@pamelamergl517]

This is fabulous

[@marcelgirard5162]

Loving it…from Alberta, Canada!

[@Sunny-in6cj]

This is the song my husband and I listened to when we first met. 35 years later, we can hear it and look into each other's souls and feel the love. Thank you EC for being the top of the top!!!

Hes a lil drunk dear but gbless him slow hands the best xx oo

[@AntonChestnut]

​@@2uconnerLol. Bingo darlin'. This was taped right there in the very thick of that infamous and well-documented, extended period when E.C. was never NOT at least "a little bit drunk". Also, I believe, this program episode, and performance set went down during the same time as when Clapton took to fly-fishing for sport. He was known to be quite the restless soul with his free time, whenever not recording or performing. And was constantly finding new hobbies and interests, that he would dive right into and as deep as possible. I always loved coming to learn of any such things from in his personal life. Imagining and picturing it all, and just the thought of him being that way. It was never just any kind of phony, posing and showoff shit with him either. Whenever he would see someone doing and being knowledgeable with something that so far he had never himself yet known, given thought to, or seen as close up, and then as soon as he had, decided to himself that he rather liked the thought/sight/notion of it. He would just go about the rest of his day with a smile on his face and a fire in his belly, and then begin the very next day, seeking out, shopping for, and securing the absolute best of information, and most professional and high quality type items that he would need to actively participate in earnest, and way beyond any mere beginner or layman level. There was never any "just testing the waters", or halfways for E.C. whenever something new to him would catch his eye and pique his interest like that, sufficiently to motivate action because he yearned so much to be associated. Talk about having multiple irons in the fire. And all expensive little obsessions too. At any given time, he could be seen juggling all at the same time, luxury Swiss watches, yachts, vintage guitars, houses, and Ferraris!

[@vincentwhitley8197]

Haven't heard this in years but at work today a coworker named Albert kept disappearing from production line and at each break I sang this to him

[@jaimepepito2441]

[@monkeyboss2321]

Still gives me chills to this day everytime I hear it.

[@rogerthat309]

This is one of my favourite songs ever!

[@revernd100]

I know everyone should have goals. Mine is to play behind Clapton and have him turn around when I played a break and nod. That would be awesome.

[@ContantContact]

My goal would be just to play at all!!!

[@davyydsummers]

It’s been 12 years. Get to play behind Clapton yet? I agree - that would be awesome.

[@pamelamergl517]

Thay would be awesome that's for sure!!!

[@jaimepepito2441]

My wife's name is Cherrie Alberta of which to sounds odd but upon hearing this song a blues genre at that, I began to like and love her so much!! I also love the constituting bass cover so with the female second voice background!!!

My name is Alberta and I would hear people mention this song from time to time so I finally broke down to find out who made it and hear it. So surprising to know I had a song named Alberta because I went most of my life never running unto another person with the name sounds good!

[@vincentwhitley8197]

Been singing this all day.. coworkers weren't happy either.

[@wolverine84]

You're right. Different tune. Clapton's "Alberta" is a cover of The Mississippi Sheiks' variant of the song "Corrine, Corrina". --Wikipedia

[@rc1564]

That's right...but either are exceptional

[@rc1564]

That s correct...but either is expected

[@Gazer794]

Yep with some lyrics taken from Bob Dylan's version of the lyrics, 'Corrina, Corrina'. That's the 'I got a bird that whistles' part.

[@AB-mf8le]

Ron Auerbach That's an often recycled lyric from the blues standards pal , first used by Robert Johnson I believe 3 decades before Dylan. Such is the nature of Folk music traditions. Lyrics and melodies are so engrained in the culture, it's authorship is often unknown
