That main chord progression is a lead guitar player's wet dream to play over.

[@williejack3695]

happy birthday Doug, another classic song

[@ronchiles399]

Happy Birthday Doug! You bring joy and knowledge to me.

[@adamclark6756]

Well i am so old that my first cd wasn't a cd at all, it was vinyl. It was Queen 2, my first musical love. The piece of music that i keep going back to time and again is Stevie Ray Vaughan playing Little Wing, for me it is 9 minutes of pure joy. Happy Birthday and it was a good choice to be indulgent with.

[@memeisellfandye]

Yeah, I think the first record I bought was K-Tel's "Let's Disco", a music/dance instructional disc packaged with an instruction book from K-Mart. I'm not sure it's aged so well. Well, now I feel old. Happy Birthday, Doug. 😀

[@haileene703]

So much this. I'm also from the vinyl and tapes era. My very first owned and bought with my pocket money music media ever was "One night in Bangkok" by Murray Head. I have so many songs I like to comeback to, that it's really really hard to name only one, specially as they are from so many different styles of music, so it all depends of the mood. But each mood has it's song for me for sure.

[@topilinkala1594]

Mine was Day at the Races. Bought it with my pocket money and could listen it only if father wasn't home.

[@TheXopony]

That was some great stuff Doug ,, keep doing what you do,,

[@trufflehund]

How lucky I am. As a six year old I had West Side Story and Love is Blue playing all day at home. Dad played Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, Mum played Chopin. Then my sister took over and gave Abbey Road and To Our Children's Children's Children (Moody Blues). Wow. Paradigm shift. My younger brother brought home Don't Shoot Me I'm only the Piano Player (Elton John) and Supertramp (Crime of the Century). My music teacher gave me Beethoven's 7th and Mussorgsky (Pictures at an Exhibition); also Emerson Lake and Palmer. Explained classical music. My mate Graham then gave me Uriah Heep, Led Zeppelin IV, Sex Pistols and The Cars (The Cars). Another mate gave me The Cure. My boss gave me Deep Purple and I recognised classical music inside Heavy Metal. I found Joe Jackson, Genesis, ELO, Dire Straits (Dire Straits), Steely Dan (Aja), the Crusaders (2nd Crusade) and Songs in The Key of Life by myself. My girlfriend at the time (1982) gave me Michael Franks (Live with Crossfire) and I gave my wife Salty Heaven (Luka Bloom) and White Ladder (David Gray). Revelation in 2015 when I discovered Kiwi Band Fat Freddys Drop (Blackbird Album). Maybe the Crusaders got me ready for FFD. The horns, guitars, keyboards, wonderful percussion and synths with superb vocals. I need some Hunters and Collectors and Midnight Oil for energy and Paul Kelly (Australia's Gordon Lightfoot) to soothe me . I hope that explains just why I enjoy Doug and Rick Beato and their analysis so much. Through them I see the colours, the nuances and the structure in a way I can understand. Well done Doug.

[@anisioalves4952]

Thanks for this reaction, Doug. I really really love this version.

[@u2GDAV]

happy birthday from Brazil!! always a great joy see you breaking down the harmony and melody behind great songs, already watching to all of your videos!! greaat job!! such a special ear and feeling to music! also a incredible talent and dedication to music theory.

[@EmperorsChildren]

Thanks for sharing one of my favorite songs! One of the things I discovered in this pandemic was the ability to feel this human connection through music and react videos, it's so strange, but it helps. I must confess I'm always torn between this version and the Hyde Park 96 one! Love them both so much. Cheers from Brazil!

[@edelcorrallira]

Happy Bday!! And what a great song you chose. Hope you have many great springs ahead!!

[@melissayost4888]

Good Lord. One of my Top 3 Solo Clapton songs. To hear him play it live is a religious experience. Actually I think I saw him on this tour.

[@JohnnyBargeldBoom]

Doug & Eric Clapton ==> I'm in!!!! Happy Birthday Dougie Boy!

[@JT40_]

Happy birthday Doug! Pretty sure your channel will also be turning 44(thousand) soon!

[@denislefebvre2670]

Happy Birthday Doug. It is a great version of Old Love, but I have to admit that my favorite remains the one on 24 Nights

[@therealrem]

Happy birthday Doug. It’s my 40th on Monday so maybe I’ll give Eric a listen then too. The Hyde Park live concert is my favourite of his.

[@DeckardRJ]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DOUG!!! I'm watching your channel for little time so far but I'm enjoying so much the content!! Very well done!! Great and awesome work!

[@edwardmalthouse973]

Happy birthday! Thanks for sharing one of your favorites!

[@melissayost4888]

I bought the VHS! Unplugged I mean. I’m a huge Clapton fan. He’s my favorite guitarist. My first CDs are a trifecta: Sgt. Pepper, Wish You Were & Who’s Next. Talk about Old Love. I saw him around him around this time. The Blues Tour? He played all the expected songs then came back & played over an hour of this. It was a religious experience.

[@ghd4044]

Definitely the best version of Old Love

[@caiorocha1940]

Happy Birthday Doug!

[@henrihell]

First CD I bought was Beatles for Sale when I was 8 years old. Previous to that I had listened to my dad's AC/DC CD's (Ballbreaker and Stiff Upper Lip) a lot though. A few years after buying said Beatles album I got an Iron Maiden compilation CD and promptly climbed way down the rabbit hole of metal music...

[@davideddolls4738]

Happy Birthday Doug its my birthday also today. Yes great track from eric he is amazing.

[@brianb8060]

My first CDs was EC's Unplugged; as well as Genesis, Live: The Way We Walk Volume 1&2 (The Shorts & The Longs.)

[@user-is4zs5ry3j]

you should have listened the another version that Eric performed back in the year 1990 , 24 nights at the Royal Albert Hall, that's fantastic good!

[@jimmyggs91]

Happy 44th Doug! Cool bluesy song, even being more a metalhead I have a mad respect for Eric Clapton, he's one of the best guitarists of all time. Spaking of keyboard solos, why not try a Deep Purple reaction next? "Child In Time", "Highway Star" and "Burn" come to mind. Jon Lord is a legend, plus purple influenced a lot early heavy metal in the late 60's/early 70's.

[@cm-kl2wx]

Truly a monumental concert...has there ever been better?

[@rodmrc5863]

Happy birthday Doug!

[@sethkaicer319]

Eric Clapton Unplugged is my slide guitar Blues practice album

[@eddys.3524]

Happy birthday, Doug!! I wish you a long happy and musical life! My first CD was : Brothers in arms - Dire Straits an excellent recording...

[@kderinoglu]

My first cd was also Dire Straits - Alchemy live.

[@mikemustang3791]

BIA, The first to sell a million copies on CD

[@kajlennartsson4234]

Happy birthday Doug.

[@jeffhansen1918]

Happy birthday Doug. My first cd was george winston December. I bought it in 1983 and still listen to it to this day

[@Adrc2309]

Maybe try "BB King - the thrill is gone" from crossroads with Eric Clapton, Robert Cray and Jimmi Vaughn.

[@Dan-C-71]

Yes!

[@Kimsta]

Happy birthday! I'm 44 soon too, my first cd I bought with my own money was Metallica black. Dad had the Eric Clapton Unplugged cd at home and we listened to it every week. I still love that album, I hadn't seen this version of my favourite song on the album! Thanks and have a great birthday day!

[@mattsoutherden]

Happy birthday! I love that song. I used to play it in a band many years ago. And I will be joining you at 44 in 3 weeks time.

[@melissayost4888]

I saw this tour. Best $200, yes you read that right but it was 31/2 hours & and a Religious experience.

[@romanuvin8990]

And happy birthday !!

[@nickm8494]

Happy Belated Birthday, Sir! Raising a glass of ale to you from the UK 🍺 Big Clapton fan; excellent choice - what a geat lineup! My DD recommendation would be "We Like It Here" by Snarky Puppy - the keyboard solo in it is mindblowing...

[@jillhobbs5334]

I've loved Clapton since The Yardbirds in my early teens, still play the unplugged CD in my car! Happy (belated) birthday.

[@blohot]

Clapton's A team at work! You should also check out Dimmu Borgir with the full orchestra and the choir.

[@vafahamidivafadar-nb7yc]

made my day. Thanks

[@jakovs7199]

Yep awesome one.

[@rickardlinde4936]

Congrats! Grattis!

[@jaycenthomas3746]

Happy Birthday 🍻

[@m1stertim]

FYI - bluetooth is REALLY latent. you may notice that the song and your playing along have to be re-synced in post if you use bluetooth headphones. also happy birthday!

[@GM_Supi_Metaleiro]

[@Dan-C-71]

My first CD was a cassette. Van Halen - 1984

[@scottdavey3804]

Happy birthday to you Doug

[@raiwist]

happy birthday!

[@69Tiburoncito]

Happy birthday

[@image30p]

Clapton had a few videos on MTV in the 80s. Bad Love, Forever Man. I had a Cream album that I listened to in college. I always appreciated his vibrato.

[@logger589]

One of my favorites from Clapton and seeing this damn nice reaction video was such a pleasure

[@nerdtheorists]

Happy Birthday, Sir! A marvellous song choice too!

[@vitman4414]

Sorry I'm Late Doug. Happy Birthday! Yeah, Eric Clapton knows his way around playing music. Very Talented musician.

[@guitarman430]

thanks for bringing back great memories of this performance!

[@omartaraboulsi918]

Happy birthday sir I am enjoying your videos particularly your reaction to iron maiden songs . May I suggest Ronnie James Dio particularly last in line track , sacred heart, Egypt, holy diver and last but not least black sabbath's heaven and hello with Dio on vocals

[@ernesterz]

Happy birthday 🎉 (Anyway I'll keep suggesting this because I know that it's worthy :) THROUGH THE FIRE AND FLAMES BY DRAGONFORCE 😄)

[@naturepro5643]

Thanks

[@zukacs]

Happy birthday. My first cd was a gift from mother, cirqus de soleil music

[@xaros738]

Happy birthday Doug! I din't have a CD player for many years, i listen mostly tape collection made by me. The first record i bought was a collection of Verdi arias for my Mom :) If not the first, one of the first for sure was the two "use your illusion" CDs. One of my favorites later was S&M from Mettalica. Did you know that Michael Kamen with his band back to the 60s, New York Rock & Roll Ensemble, made an Album with one of the greatest Greek composers of all time by many, Manos Xatzidakis? If you haven't listen it yet search for it, i think you will like it. The name of the album is "Reflections".

[@markorollo.]

Little story, and every time I tell this on a video I get told I'm talking balls and it didn't happen so I can't wait for the replies. One night in the early 60's before any of these now very famous artists were famous and still plying their trade, doing the pubs and town halls, travelling around in an old van/truck, my mum's cousin went to a pub in a different town from where she lived and some bands and singers were performing, she got talking to one after they did their bit and he said he had a gig in Manchester the next night, so, as mum's cousin lived near Manchester she offered him a lift in her little mini car, and said he could stay at her place overnight, sleep on the sofa, an offer he accepted, the singer was Eric Clapton...

[@myownchannel247]

Love it too but have you heard the live version from 24 Nights? Chuck Leavell's piano solo from the Unplugged album is unforgettable

[@69Tiburoncito]

A very nice and educative Video :-). Eric Clapton is a very good guitar player. In the 70’s he was in the band Cream and Jimi Hendrix was in England That time and the Cream bandmembets said to Jimi Hendrix that he could play and perform with them on a live concert. So Hendrix was playing af a cream concert and did some superb licks and Tricks and riffs on his guitar and Clapton ran away from the podium backstage and went on to smoke a cigarette. The Cream bandmembers asked Clapton what was wrong and Clapton replied to his bandmembers “You didn’t tell me he (Jimi) was that good”. Yeah before Hendrix came to England the English music journalists and Fans thought Clapton was the best guitar player in the World and gave him nicknames like “god” and “slow hand”. So he wasn’t happy there was a guy who was better than him (later he loved Hendrix). Jan Akkerman from Holland was named the best guitar player of the World in the 70’s by the Enlgish Melody Maker Magazine. Akkerman is really good. He played in bands as Focus (with their famous Hocus Pocus song with the jodeling vocals) and Brainbox

[@69Tiburoncito]

@@Newcastle423 Yes I have. Just Google the article of The Guardian of the 40th anniversary of the death of Jimi Hendrix (think That I am not allowed to paste the link on KZbin). From the article “ “ here was also curiosity from the emergent powerhouse of British blues: Cream and Eric Clapton. There was a particular night when Cream allowed Jimi to join them for a jam at the Regent Street Polytechnic in central London. Meeting Clapton had been among the enticements Chandler had used to lure Hendrix to Britain: “Hendrix blew into a version of [Howlin’ Wolf’s] ‘Killing Floor’,” recalls Garland, “and plays it at breakneck tempo, just like that - it stopped you in your tracks.” Altham recalls Chandler going backstage after Clapton left in the middle of the song “which he had yet to master himself”; Clapton was furiously puffing on a cigarette and telling Chas: “You never told me he was that fucking good.“

[@69Tiburoncito]

@@Newcastle423 Yeah Jimi played in the late 60’s with Cream and not the 70’s. But it’s still true that Clapton walked away and said that famous line. Sure you haven’t read the article. The only part you are right on is that it wasn’t in the 70’s but late 60’s. I didn’t knew the exact year but I knew the story and the story is true and confirmed by a lot of musicians...

[@69Tiburoncito]

@@Newcastle423 It was late and I didn’t wrote a date. Thought it was in the early 70’s but it was the late 60’s but the story still is true and Stands... I am not the biggest Cream fan although I have an cd of them.

[@muzafferergun6082]

My first CD vas Metallica 91, in 1991 :)

[@ironpipex160]

This version and unplugged are great, but my favorite versión is old love 1991 (24 nights)

[@Adrc2309]

I know this recording since 2014 when I was 18 yo and I still love it.

[@nathaneley6486]

Check out the version with Robert Cray from the old show “Night Music”. Cray’s work on it and tone is incredible. A dive into all the old night music videos is worthwhile too, great musical guests and the house band is made up of some of the best session musicians of the day.

[@catmanduu66]

Happy Birthday Doug! I don't remember my first album or 8-track, I'm ten years older than you, but I do remember the first cassette tape I and that was Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast. Hallowed Be Thy Name is off that album and one of my all time favorite Maiden songs. I blasted that thing everywhere.

[@gabrielnascimento161]

Great song! Thanks, I didn't knew it!

[@erchl54]

congratulations!! many more!

[@garanceadrosehn9691]

"The very first CD I bought" -- was about 15 years after the first vinyl album i bought... 🙂 First vinyl album I bought: "John Denver's Greatest Hits" First CD I bought: "About Face" solo album by David Gilmour.

[@laertesl4324]

Happy birthday Doug, great song!

[@zzuave2666]

Belated birthday wishes Doug. The first vinyl album I bought was Budgie, Bandolier. My first cd, I think, was ZZTop,Fandango.

[@danielgower5531]

Happy birthday Doug, from another April baby.

[@ruiplas]

Been listened this version with a question for years, I might heard that intro melody in some other songs, but Idk which one...

[@wady0]

I have the whole concert since long time.. In this concert eric clapton covered “little wing” of jimie hendrix and a funny thing happened between eric and the saxophone player in the first solo, you should make video of it 😅

[@j_muller]

Happy Birthday. I like Circus a lot, though it is sad. So many great songs.

[@Jestinphish420]

Beautiful accompaniment playing!

[@MichelleMills1972]

My 1st cd was Paul McCartney All the Best

[@kderinoglu]

Cant wait to see you reacting to Telegraph Road by Dire Straits from Alchemy Live. Please....Love you Doug, happy birthday from 🇹🇷.

[@jackclements2163]

Happy birthday, Doug. By the way, coincidentally, I was the 44th person to give you a like.

[@JasonSmith-lp6wg]

Oh my God! 44? My deepest condolences! (No, really, Happy Birthday, Doug. It's been a real joy learning more about music - in general - through your reaction videos. My very best to you!) Oddly enough, I don't remember my first CD; but, I remember my first cassette: Van Halen's 1984.

[@Alex-uy7fn]

Happy birthday my man!! I enjoy your videos a lot!!! Can I recommend a band from Spain called Mago de Oz ! They are considered to be the Iron Maiden of Spain. The most popular song is called “fiesta pagana 2000 version” but I think you’ll appreciate the song called “ La Cantata del Diablo” they are a Celtic metal band that use violin, flutes, bagpipes, etc... hope you see this comment!!!!

[@alanphil]

Happy Birthday Doug! Any discussion about keyboard pitch bending needs some George Duke! Check out this video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2iWi3uPoLBmgdU

[@AlexBarregon]

Happy birthday Doug. It was 58 at the beginning of the month.

[@ifkekanrunning4768]

Thanks for sharing some of your musical background. I cannot remember my first CD, but I do remember the first LP, ”With the Beatles”, on my tenth birthday. So, do you have any Beatles favorite? Happy birthday!

[@kforcer]

Happy birthday! Thanks for all the great content! For whatever it's worth, I still recommend 'Stargazer' by Rainbow. I just know you'd find it interesting.

[@dylankrech6865]

Hey Doug! Can you PLEASE do a Video to Fairy Tale from Shaman and the Brazilian 🇧🇷 Singer André Mattos who sadly past away in 2019. He was the Frontman from the Band Angra and as Bruce Dickinson left Iron Maiden he was one of the Singer to replace Bruce but they pick Blaze instead Mattos. We Brazilian would be very proud if you do a Video to the song Fairy Tale, thank you.

[@themusicfan2179]

What a beautiful version I just knew the Unplugged version...my first cassette was Ride the Lightning by Metallica in 87-88

[@rk41gator]

Check out Phil Collins 'Rain Down on Me' with Eric Clapton (no epic guitar solo, however). They are old friends.

[@edgarespinosa9656]

Happy birthday Doug! I hope you had a great day. If you're going to do some more blues, I'd love a Stevie Ray Vaughan reaction, Tightrope is my favorite song of his.

[@TravisTLCdrumming]

Steve Gadd absolutely kills it

[@antoniocarlin5026]

Feliz Cumpleaños from México....!! (the classic 1977 rules!)

[@antoniocarlin5026]

I buy for the first time the Unplugged of Clapton in VHS and cassette!! jejeje...high school times

[@Oceanborn07_05]

Hi Doug, thanks for letting me comment here today, I hope you are ready for my daily Blood Brothers or The Nomad by Iron Maiden request :)

[@loranfriedrich]

Happy birthday Doug. I think you may enjoy Ozzy Osbourne's Revelation / Mother Earth with Randy Rhoads on guitar.

[@jamesodonnell2869]

Happy birthday! The 1st record I got was Quiet Riot Mental Health. Don’t think CD was an option and even if it was we didn’t have a player back then.

[@jugalo_deathcock7317]

Was just thinking of something completely off the wall for a reaction, Chapel Of Ghouls by Morbid Angel. Of course, I'm a borderline sadistic death metal fan. But also, I think you may appreciate some of lead guitarist Trey Azagoth's musical choices.

[@69Tiburoncito]

Eric Clapton’s MTV’s Unplugged Album is a very good Album (I have the cd :-)). I also like the Layla song from the Album, Yeah the Original is from Derek and the Domino’s also with Eric Clapton). This is a nice Video of a Vero nice/Good song:-).

[@sarswmr1]

The key bends never did it for me the way that the guitar did. I think it has something to do with the sensitivity of the vibrato.

[@michaelferguson1396]

Happy birthday! Would live to see you do “Mirror of Souls” by Theocracy

[@leonid7785]

May i recommend Adagio-Niflheim? Im %100 sure that you will love it. There is so much going on in that song. Happy birthday btw :)
