I saw this amazing show live. I love the both of their music.

[@dee_dee_place]

Tracy Chapman & Eric Clapton played together to celebrate their shared birthdays, March 30, 1964, & March 30, 1945; respectively. If you think this is good, Jamel, watch Chapman, on the Letterman show, performing "Stand By Me", acoustically. And of course, there is Chapman's performance at Nelson Mandela's birthday celebration, in front of thousands of audience members. She gave a performance that was akin to her standing in a recording studio, alone, just singing & playing guitar while recording, SPECTACULAR! For the record, I think Tracy Chapman is the best storyteller musician that ever lived, followed by Bob Dylan & Woody Guthrie. (Every time I listen to Chapman's "Behind The Wall" I cry because I lived observing that crap up until the mid-1970s, in Florida. Domestic Violence, in Florida, is so prevalent that nurses have to take mandatory, bi-annual domestic violence courses to renew their licenses. On one such occasion, the moderator silently turned on a boom box, played "Behind The Wall", silently turned off the boom box, & walked off the stage. Of the close to 400 RNs in the audience, there was not one dry eye amongst us, including the male RNs because we have all been in that situation; seeing a beaten woman but the police couldn't do anything because "they can't interfere with domestic affairs between a man & his wife").

I had no idea they dueted together, this was amazing and both artists seemed to get a kick out of performing together. Bliss for us viewers ❤️

[@summergivens242]

Same here. Well said !

[@jeffking4176]

Really ❗️ I’ve seen some artists perform together, and you can tell they don’t even care to be doing it. This is the first I’ve heard of this one. And they really do both seem to be enjoying it. Cool. 📻🙂

[@chrisa4695]

I was unaware as well. I am not surprised given Eric Clapton’s love and appreciation of other guitarists and rootstock artist.

[@kenstanley2567]

I was just going to say the same thing

[@kellidavis2318]

I didn't know, either! Love Tracy Chapman and Eric Clapton! You could tell that it was Clapton playing (vs. any other guitarist) because he has such a beautiful and awesome sound. Great video!

[@bethcrumpton476]

I wish Tracy would make music more often. Also, she has the most beautiful smile.

Being a “blues guy “when I was younger I was thrilled when my graduate school band said I had to pick a song to play that was “current” - this was of course the natural one I picked.

[@steveford8999]

Tracy is HAPPY with this version of her song.

Love this performance ❤ Eric never tried to takeover, he plays for the song. This song is perfect already and right in his wheelhouse.

I got goosebumps hearing just the first line. She's a freakin legend!!

I wore out my New Beginning album back in '95'. Tracy's voice is so smooth and Clapton's guitar fills between lyrics in this version were impeccable. 👍🙏✌️

[@caseygleason576]

Tracy Chapman hit me in the feels when I first heard her. She was a rather morose figure though when she broke out with Fast Car, and for me it wasn't until her next album where she grew her hair out and started flashing that smile that I came to think of her as quite literally one of the most beautiful women alive. Oh, and the music was something else, too! Loves me some Tracy!

[@Calmontheoutside]

Duets with legends who are fearless about their talent and committed to always making the music the best it can be and everybody having a great time-including them. 😊

[@Wrangzilla]

I found, an bought, an original pressing of Tracy's 1988 Self-titled album on vinyl a few months back. Great album....

[@richardmather1906]

Clapton does not get enough credit for how collaborative he is. People diss him for his politics but year after year, cause after cause, he has shown up to play at events organized by other artists, and his own concerts as well (cross roads festival, etc.)

What a unique voice and presence. She’s sorely missed!❤ You❤ can see Eric was enamored with her. ❤

[@matthewoconnell114]

I’ve watched this video many times. But I loved watching Jamal’s reaction. First, this is an incredible song on it’s own. Then, you’re playing with Eric (freaking) Clapton! But he is so classically Clapton that he plays his fills and solos in a way that blends in to the main song and you can’t imagine how it wasn’t there in the first place. They are both masters at their craft. Tracy is not only a great songwriter but she is a very legitimate guitarist in her own right.

It's always so nice to see pure talent on stage! And a female singer fully clothed!

[@TheOnespeedbiker]

What I love about this performance is watching Tracy Chapman smiling. Apparently she is quite shy and doesn't enjoy performing in front of an audience, which is why she usually shows so little emotion when she sings. But in this duet she seems quite star struck with Clapton and seems to really be enjoying herself.

[@ThePittsburghToddy]
