Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins & Eric Clapton - Matchbox

[@petemartin295]

This is the only time I have ever seen Clapton starstruck. When he looks at Johnny, he just looks in awe of him.

[@keeponrollin7922]

Its gotta be cash boomin authoritive voice

You can tell Eric is very happy to be on the same stage with these two legends.

[@pabloperez4063]

And they are very fatherhood towards him.....(did I invent ThE Word??+:)

[@Yagdrol]

Eric clearly showing his respect to Johnny and Carl. Wholesome to see.

[@guitarman6742]

I met Carl Perkins once. He watched a gig I was doing. When we spoke all he wanted to talk bout was my playing! What a humble man... rockin' Hillbilly Cat!

[@mackenzielowe1872]

wow that is truly amazing. I have to say I might be a little jealous!

[@retsdon]

I love the way Clapton is respectful and plays a tight little break in the genre and doesn't turn it into an ego trip. A musician's musician.

[@PaulCARPENTER-w7r]

TALK ABOUT SERIOUSLY FOLKS. GE KICK OUT THIS JAM !! PURE RAW, BABY !!

[@TheDavelogan]

Clapton is in awe of these two. That's a cool thing to see. These days there are so few people that are as influential as him that aren't people he's known for decades. Perkins was a brilliant guitarist, underrated as hell.

[@dharmana1]

Clapton's just a kid here and he can already jam with these legends... no problem! That's how good he is

[@lars4738]

Seriously check out his earlier stuff if you haven't!

[@joshg2350]

Shit, he had already played in John Mayalls’s Bluesbreakers and Cream by this point and played with Duane Allman. He was a vet by this point.

[@allymayful]

A total classic! Clapton's so young and shy here - l didn't recognise him.

[@jerryperkins6089]

+allymayful WHAT do u think of Carl Perkins???

[@allymayful]

Jerry Perkins I'm guessing you are a relative, so l better say something nice. To be honest, as an Aussie teen from the '60's, l hadn't heard of Carl. But since l have used YT, l have learnt heaps about him, and what an enormous influence he was for many of the '60's artists, including the Beatles. Plus our own beautiful Tommy Emmanuel, speaks freely of his respect for Carl, and won an award named after Carl. So in a nutshell how could l not respect this pioneer musician, who also comes across as a very gracious man.

Not relative at all. a big fan;;; better than bein a relative.

Excelente video. Un niño Erick Clapton con los grandes maestros en especial mi favorito Carl Perkins......

[@CashPresley32]

He was a big landmark to me especially, because I am autistic and he was music therapy for me. When I was 6 months old I had headphones placed on my head with his music playing through them, and basically it was the only thing that would soothe me. Also if it weren't for him and his music, I probably would have been slower in learning things like talking and reading. He was great. We miss you Johnny. RIP.

Americans and some stealth Canadians were the idols of a lot of the British guys and of one particular Irish one, Van Morrison.

A Very young Clapton! Great video! I differ with Johnny on one point. Awkward audience silence re his comment re music in England. IMOHO and , country music’s foundation is built of the tunes sung by Scottish and Irish immigrants to the Southern and Western US, especially 1740’s - 1890’s. We’re very fortunate that AP Carter, husband of Sara, Maybelle Carter’s cousin, roamed all over the South collecting these tunes in the early 20th Century. These tunes and the Carters singing of them were a catalyst for country music. Maybelle is considered the “Mother of Country Music.”

Well yeah, Johnny Cash crossed all musical boundaries successfully. He was not a single genre, but rather created his own subgenre that fell between folk, rock n roll, and country music. He sang all types of music and made you believe that he was actually in that genre, and also what he sang and his band played.
