Originally written and recorded by the late great J. J. Cale. Clapton does a good cover.

[@misterpink808]

Same with Cocaine..seems to like covering Cale.

[@HyzersGR]

Jerry Garcia band has an absolutely smoking cover of After Midnight as well. Some of the nastiest improvised jamming guitar work of all time kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIiWc6V-ZtCrq8U

[@tvo2563]

JJ Cale's original is so much better.

[@SilentBob731]

@@martinm1231 Vastly superior to Clapton, though I still prefer this version by J.J., it's so smooth... 😉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4maiJWClMSnY6M

[@ericsmith6615]

Wife here..., Loooove J J Cale's version..!!

[@ptrlxc]

Written by the great JJ Cale. At the time this originally came out by Eric Clapton, JJ Cale was about to give up on the recording industry. Eric was always in awe of JJ Cale, became a teenage girl fan-like around JJ Cale. I saw JJ Cale shortly after and man he was smooooooth.

[@jeffreyfenko1797]

When Clapton heard that Van Halen quote, he had the same reaction as Lex. He just didn't hear it. Fun fact: This version of After Midnight was his second stab at it. He did a faster rock version on his first solo album. This one was recorded for a beer commercial. Michelob, I think. And when it first aired, he was in rehab. Oh, the irony.

[@davidhattman7649]

Yes it was Michelob

[@NoCanDu]

Thanks for that. Thought I was losing my mind. I don’t recall this version at all! 😂

[@richmorlang1854]

My dad played his stuff so much when I was a kid growing up in the 80's. Eric is a legend

[@guitarman8462]

The orig was by JJ Cale. Then in the 70's Clapton did a remake but a faster version. And later in the the yrs he remade it again , only this time it was " After Midnight " blues style . The one you're listening to now is the blues version he remade .

[@ammonitelight]

The original J.J. Cale version is by far the best. It's just so understated and cool.

[@lantose]

No question! Eric’s first version was the best cover of this song and is more suited to JJ’s version! I about wore out the Naturally album in college in 74 forward and his other albums! Eric had so much respect for JJ and was such a good friend to him. Thankfully they got to record their album together before JJ passed. RIP

[@surlechapeau]

Brad & Lex, you’ll love his "Forever Man", "I Can't Stand It" and "Pretending” !!!!

[@mrcurtis73]

Also, the song “No Alibis” is a good one to check out from Clapton.

[@csw3287]

The Man, The Myth... The Legend... Mr. ERIC CLAPTON

[@Katehowe3010]

Don't forget the racist!

[@Katehowe3010]

@martin M Nothing can change what the guy said in "78. Some half arsed theory isn't go to change that!

[@Katehowe3010]

@The Wolf I've never made a racist remark in my life. Mr Clapton has. Just worth pointing out to those that have no idea of this. If you want to defend a guy who asked black people to leave a concert of his, then shame on you!

[@custardflan]

JJ Cale also wrote Cocaine and They Call Me the Breeze among many other great songs. One of the founders of the Tulsa Sound, along with Leon Russell. He and Clapton recorded an album together at the end of Cale's life, The Road to Escondido. Clapton hadn't heard of Cale at the point of this recording but they became fast friends. Great video of them performing at Crossroads -- kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZK3ZoJtZ5J2pLs

[@tylerhackner9731]

One of my absolute favorites from him

[@MrLedotson]

In an interview I saw Eddie specifically states that it is Clapton time in Cream that was his influence.

[@thomassamburgh5904]

Wow. Lex's comment on Clapton being in category with Hendrix and Vaughn was quite accurate. Brad's take was good too . Way to go

[@F-14_Jockey]

Vaughn and Clapton would be embarrassed by someone saying they are in the same category as Hendrix, and Clapton has admitted as much during interviews as has Vaughn.

[@jeffreyflint6286]

Love Eric Clapton. If you two haven't yet, check out Cream. Sunshine of your love or In the white room. Happy New Year guys. Keep rockin'. 🤟🤟

[@Dirtbag_Deluxe]

His earlier version of this song from the 70's is really good too!!

[@mikecaetano]

The guitar solo on the 1970 version of "After Midnight" likely bears some influence on early Van Halen solos. Its simple and it cuts through before it cuts loose. Also listen to "Badge" by Cream. It has many of the hallmarks of a Van Halen song albeit at a varied pace. And "White Room" and "Tales of Brave Ulysees" are like stellar tutorials on the wah-wah pedal.

[@mikecaetano]

@Bradandlex01 Thanks! I logged into your discord, 'cause I don't do those others. I'm old school. Have you got an email address I can respond to?

[@jonnno243]

Having just heard this, I felt urged to go and play Eric singing "She's Waiting" from his album, Behind The Sun.

[@vrvaughn]

Clapton goes back to the early 60’s with The Yardbirds… He is the only artist inducted into the Rock and RollHall Of Fame 3 times… with The Yardbirds, Cream and as a solo artist… He deserves a fourth with Derek and The Dominos…

[@arrowheadftball]

Tulsa's one and only JJ Cale. Eric held JJ in high regard. JJ was born in OKC but grew up in T- town.

[@COBBETT1215]

Might be worth checking out the man who wrote this song, JJ Cale. I recommend his "They Call Me The Breeze". There's great film on KZbin Of Eric Clapton and JJ Cale playing this song and "After Midnight" live. Clapton and JJ Cale were great friends.

[@terrylandess6072]

I used to play this track from one of my Dad's Chet Atkins' albums in the 60's. It was the only track he played electric guitar on and I was obsessed with the electric bass riff which connected any part back to the main theme.

[@armadillotoe]

Eric Clapton's "Old Love" the amazing live version. You are welcome.

[@TimothyLafreniere]

I love this version of this song! So glad this is the one you reacted to

[@keensoundguy6637]

This is his beer commercial version (cf. the lyrics of Neil Young's "This Note's For You"). He did a studio version with a different arrangement almost 20 years prior, which you probably should have played instead. In any case, it's a cover of a J.J. Cale song.

[@VidiotSavante]

Eric's earlier, faster version from his 1970 self-titled album is also worth a listen!! 🎸🎧😎 Both versions are pretty good!! And I do remember this from the Michelob beer commercials! 🍺😎

[@doobiedave9686]

I play in a bar band and we always start our third set with this song because that's usually around midnight, but we add a little more tempo to it. 🎸🎶✌️

[@Dirtbag_Deluxe]

Yeah!! Finally getting into some 80's Clapton!! Woot woot lol a few other good ones from him from the 80's are "she's waiting (for another love)" "pretending" "it's in the way that you use it" "bad love"

[@happymethehappyone8300]

MUST HEAR Classics,, Eric Clapton "Motherless Child" & "See What Love Can Do"...TRUST ME!!

[@robinschulze934]

This sounds different then the one I know so you should try and hear the other version!!

[@19chucki74]

Lex sussed it out quick! EVH has mentioned Eric Clapton as one of his strongest influences in his guitar playing style. Though EVH had a powerful classical background, he could play bluesy soul if he wanted to. He could go up and down the range of genres. Eric Clapton is a gem of a guitarist.

[@guitarman8462]

EVH said that he started to lose interest or was upset once Clapton had left Cream

[@funkster007]

Lex is so astute. I never really got the Clapton influence on Eddie either. At least style-wise. But I can see how Eddie might have appreciated Clapton's pure insinctive and natural approach to soloing. Eddie was no different.

[@jenniferfoster1692]

Yes, I saw Eddie say he was into Clapton through to Cream, then he became less interesting to him. We know Eddie was a classically trained pianist, so I think Lex's comment is right on...there's a lot of classical sounds from Eddie while Eric was obviously all about the blues. I don't think Eddie emulated anyone's style per se, but was inspired by their innovations and certain sounds.

[@rafterman5072]

Clapton’s Cream and Bluesbreakers stuff definitely has some similarities to Eddie.

[@johncrowe1427]

There is a live concert- Stevie Winwood and Eric Clapton at Madison Square Garden that is absolutely incredible with all their classics live. In particular listen to Clapton's blues on Double Trouble and Ramblin, and Stevie's Georgie and No Face, No Name, No Number

[@bobriemersma]

I like Clapton's "Change The World" as used in the movie "Phenomenon" (1996), itself a very good movie.

[@zenpuppy6025]

I bought the soundtrack to that movie. There’s so many good songs on it.

[@danielbardier1372]

“Clapton is cold”, Lex is hilarious

[@FixNewsPlease]

Thank you JJ Cale for writing such a cool tune. IMO his version is better too. Not as commercial.

[@lena-mariaglouis-charles7036]

"PRETENDING" by E.C. is another (of many...) must listen!

[@Alewifes_Husband]

Yeah, both covers are good -- Vic Provost described the first one well. JJ Cale's original is a perfect example of JJ Cale -- laid-back, smooth, little bursts of guitar fills and understated vocals. One can imagine the weed in the air for that (and many) Cale recordings 🙂

[@vicprovost2561]

This is Clapton's 2nd cover of this song, his first was at a faster tempo and a lighter sound, this is slower and bluesier. I have to admit liking this version better. For more awesome Clapton, try his Same Old Blues from the concert for Montserrat, he gives it his all and you should see him ripping the blues. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎶

[@OddBall1958]

The "Just One Night" Album, in my opinion, has the best live version of this song. However this is still a good version.

[@firstname4337]

this version is garbage

[@vicprovost2561]

@@firstname4337 Some opinions are just garbage.

[@jasonremy1627]

This is the 80s slow jam version of the song. It's good, but I like his original 70s Motown-inspired original. It's a totally different vibe. Worth checking out too!

[@TJ-pc5mq]

This was used in a beer commercial. This is actually a cover of his cover of JJ Scale's original.

[@turnerdan53]

You have to listen to Clapton when he was with Cream to get the influences.

[@jeffreyflint6286]

Right on!

[@jenniferfoster1692]

Yes, Eddie said he was only interested in Clapton through to Cream, then he lost interest.

[@THEDEEPDIVE]

[@mikemaricle9941]

When I was in 6th grade (1972) we had free hour at the end of the day Fridays, we could play records. I brought this in, but was not allowed to play is, because it was "Nasty".

Eric Clapton, Jimi hendrix, Jimmy Page, Jeff beck and Peter Green were the biggest rock guitar influences for all of us around Eddie Van Halen's age. They were the generation before us in age. They were the ones that made every young guitar player wanna-be want to play. All youhad to do is listen to led Zeppelin or Cream or any of those guys and you were ready to play.
