57classic Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I've never heard a song by Clapton that I did not like. Not even Wonderful Tonight or Lay Down Sally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstMeasure Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Not even Wonderful Tonight or Lay Down Sally? Over played, sure. Less than Great, no way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstMeasure Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Ouch! Did i hear a major clam at 1:41 seconds...? I think you did. Love how he get's off that note like he stepped on a hot coal from a campfire. Very comforting to know that no one is safe from clams and gremlins, not even even Eric Clamton....I Mean Clapton.

Because I like Lay Down Sally and find Wonderful Tonight to be the most romantic song ever written? Devotion would be saying, "There's nothing wrong with "August" or "Behind the Sun".

That's the thing with a guy like Clapton, he explores so much territory there's no way to like it all. I can appreciate it all, but some of the Greg Phillinganes stuff leaned a little too heavily on the keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't that I thought he lacked talent but I just didn't enjoy his style. On the other hand, I'm sure Ray cooper must have some compromising pics of EC, jk. He is useless and makes a spectacle of himself on stage. He exemplifies the statement, "If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bull$hit".

bigneil Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Well, I have never heard that before , but I did enjoy it very much. My favourite tracks by Eric are generally from the Cream years. and on the subject of "wonderful tonight" I would just like to say, with all due respect to Eric (if you are reading this) and to all those who would call him a god. In my humble opinion, wonderful tonight, and your cover of swing low sweet chariots were just a load of old PANTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, I actually kind of enjoy Ray Coopers B.S. But it is just stage antics. I mean, how much soul can you put into a triangle hit? It took me a while to warm up to Andy Fairweather Low, he's my least favorite Clapton sideman, I'm partial to Phil Palmer and (of course) Robert Cray. Which brings me to my favorite thing about Clapton, he has no desire to shine as an individual when he pickss out a band, he tries to surround himself with equals for the benefit of the entire show. Since the beginning he's always raised his personal bar. That, more than his playing, has been a major influence on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 EC was never comfortable, as "The Man," (band leader, front man, etc.), he would have, from all accounts, been perfectly happy, doing the "sideman," gig. But, he stepped up, as needed, even if reluctantly, at first. And...He's proven to be a good organizer,.as well ("Concert for George," as one example), along with being an inspiring player. One of my favorite's, for sure! Always has been... CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
