Why do you always post something horrible and then delete it, be a man, if you have something to say leave it there so i can reply to it when i have the time in a civil manner.
Im tired of this thread being trolled, can we please be allowed to discuss Eric Claptons music without covid and politics ruining the convention .
Like the Stones, Clapton is back and he's on fire again, put your jealousy aside and respect the best guitarist ever excluding Hendrix.
Wasn't horrible you moron.
Was a link to an article that I subsequently (look it up) deleted as it was already posted.
Son.

Eric Clapton Isn't Just Spouting Vaccine Nonsense—He's Bankrolling It
Eric Clapton went from setting the standard for rock guitar to making ‘full-tilt’ racist rants to becoming an outspoken vaccine skeptic. Did he change? Or was he always like this?

I don't think Eric would agree with this, given his history with JJ and his songs
Eric's a gentleman, I'm not.
Seriously though Eric's a modest man, he's not going to turn round and claim his own version is better.
This is everything but boring.

Great video I have never seen before.. From 2008 Eric is very energized and Steve Winwood is cooking on B-3 organ. Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood - After Midnight (Live from Madison Square Garden 2008)
Yeah that one blew me away too, inspired solo, he and Winwood compliment each other so well, that smile from Eric at the end said it all.

[N.B. Repost from upthread]
In the meantime —
In Japan, the public screening of Lady In The Balcony: Lockdown Sessions started on October 8. It is a limited run at selected cinemas, 2 to 7 days’ period depending on the houses. As I reported upthread [on p. 27], the on-cinema version has more than 15-mins extra, rehearsals, behind-the-scene shots, interviews etc. that is not included in the forthcoming DVD/BD releases. I haven’t heard that this is, or will be, shown at cinemas anywhere else in the world but Japan, expanded version or not.
I have seen some comments from fans on Twitter and other social media, and all of them give it a maximum praise without one exception. I translate and quote some examples below;
“The performance and the visual, both absolutely incredible!”
“It was much better than I had imagined. I can’t get enough of this. I want to watch it at the cinema one more time.”
“I didn’t expect much but it was surprisingly good. The contents [of the on-cinema version] contain the conversations of the members, Eric’s comments etc, which will not be included in the DVD/BD. Don’t miss it!”
“Frankly, I was so appalled and disgusted by Eric’s statements nowadays surrounding the coronavirus and the vaccination that I have decided against going to his concert if a Japan tour materializes next year onwards...after watching this flick, I am thinking twice, and I might be going. Eric loves playing so much with his buddies.”
From the comments, I get the impression that this is far better than Unplugged (which I am not a big fan of).
The performance and the shooting were done in Cowdray House, a 13th century stately home in the West Sussex countryside.

AS far as I am concerned, the best stuff Eric has done in recent years has been his string of concerts with Steve Winwood. I have always been a huge fan of both. I saw Traffic way back when and Cream too. I was at a Jimi Henrix concert at Filmore East and he was really flying on some serious "stuff". For a goof he played the guitar into to "Sunshine of Your love" a few times. I know that Clapton and Hendrix were in awe of each other.
Too bad Eric and Winwood only toured together for about three years, starting in 2008. It was the best Clapton has been in this century. To my taste of course! I loved the way they revisited their old material. And did it better than the originals from Traffic, Blind Faith, Cream etc / And Eric's solo career. Dear Mr Fantasy indeed!

Can't get it on youtube at the moment but Winwood and Clapton playing Little Wing is beyond words, such a soulful solo.
I go back to Hendrix playing it and it's empty in comparison.
Yeah just love those shows with Winwood bringing the very best out of Clapton.

Thanks for this. Everything I have heard from the Lockdown Sessions sounds sublime. Didn't know it was being shown at cinemas.

It's all good! Eric is doing great these days and so are the Rolling Stones. And don't forget Van Morrison. You can boycott him too. If Eric is so racist, then how come Nathan East is playing bass in his band? Plus has been a long time associate of EC?

It is a known fact that a racist never makes a black man work for him.
If you support Enoch Powell well into the 90s, and he probably still does, you’re pretty racist. This on top of his Birmingham rant.

We have had this conversation on this thread many times, Claptons heroes are black, he has black musicians and friends that have worked with him for decades, clearly he is not a racist.
Enock wasn't a racist either, please research people before you draw ignorant uneducated conclusions, Powell was warning British people about the problems that will occur as a consequence of mass immigration.
You only have to look at inner cities in England today to see he was right.
Happy trolling BowieStone.

A racist never says they are racist. A racist will never call anyone else a racist but will work hard to justify racist behavior. A person's actions and words show it whether or a not a person is racist. If someone is telling us Enoch Powell or David Duke is not a racist their words answer that question.
Having black friends/bandmates/employees does not mean a person is not a racist either. Anyone who believes that can't see racism if it hit them in the face and is just ignorant and needs to research the topic.

Nah, ignorance is someone that notes someone's stance that one doesn't like, then goes and researches that person's comments from 50 years ago and keeps bringing it up over & over as if said yesterday. And furthermore, that one assumes that person can never feel differently for the rest of their existence Except ...if said guilty party would adhere to that one's so-called standards for today's issues, then that one would never have cared about the 50-year-ago issues in the first place.
Not sure i follow all that myself, lol, but it seems pretty ignorant if you ask me!

Hanging out with Governor Abbott in Austin (Texas' Enoch Powell) must count for something.

Not guilt by association but similar views on various controversial issues. You either don't get that or they are your views as well.
Coming from a burnt out bulb I am really bright. What proof do you have that the Beach Boys were complicit with the Manson family or are you just making up more nonsense?

You are convicting via guilt by association, just read your posts (if you can read).
Beach Boys / Manson ... try reading a book or even a google search (again, if you can read).

Over to After Midnight, I never did care that much for Clapton's versions, compared to JJ Cale, unlike other Cale-covers he has done.
But, when hearing the Baloise 2013 version of After Midnight....that's the best arrangement yet

Clapton IMO is not the greatest guitarist this side of Hendrix. In the 1960s there was Jeff Beckand Othefs, in the 1970s , Mick Taylor, in the 1980s, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Joe Satriani,Van Halen, and so on
