8 I Shot the Sheriff

One of his BEST guitar solos of all time. Superb. THE BEST BLUES-ROCK GUITAR PLAYER EVER!!! CLAPTON IS GOD!!!! 🙏💪🔥🎸🎼🎶

Who else watches this video again and again and again for the Master Class intro by the Genius himself ?

The way Steve G sets Eric up for his solo - just beautiful. That point at 5:38 where they both 'hit' their respective instruments completely in sync, and Eric is off, whilst Steve continues to keep that steady rhythm in the only the way he can. Building this up just past the 6min mark, you just know there is going to be a climactic explosion of playing from Eric as he digs in that bit harder, turns up the volume a bit more, adds some boost?, gets into his groove with some repetitive phrasing and at 7:42 you are just willing him to completely let rip, Steve adding more of his kit into it. Then at 8:10 or so - shivers down my spine as Eric goes into another world.

Love how Steve compliments Eric solo, he helps him build up the tempo for the blistering finish. Awesome performance by both ,💗

A brilliant solo! Brilliant Rhythm section! Clapton helped the world to get to know the big ones like Bob Marley and the humble ones like J.J.Cale, and that is also a great merit, absolute respect Mr. Eric !!! He used to say in an interview that there is no permanent band, but when he wants to play, he calls the best and who of them has time to play, it just happened, and we have this film.

Steve Gadd is so....perfect ! He just drum as he should, not to loud. The choristers are perfect too. Well in fact, all the band is perfect ! Heaven

one of best concert and best performance.I hope you have long life Eric Clapton cause you are one of Legendary

Nathan East's talent for keeping a subtle yet soulful background rhythm is truly heaven-sent.

I met you at the roundabout on the A40 at the Wembley Exit Sir Eric in 1992...it made my day, month, year, life...........we played air guitar.... we had fun for ten seconds......thank you .... we all love you!

Whole band is on point man. Nice stuff. Clapton makes me feel great. Much love

A genius from another planet. Thank you!👏👏👏

two masters of dynamics havin' fun. simply unreal

Yes.this is the best version.The introduction,the chorus and the guitar are so clean.. Cheers from Colombia.

Jeesus that intro is good ..... but that 4 minute solo outro is bloody awesome ..... and this dear people is why Eric is God!!

Amazing bass by Nathen East!

That solo must have given a lot a lot of guitar players new goals

Personally I think its the best version of this song from clapton. The intro is amazing. He never played it like this before. (not at crossroads, Hyde Park etc) Thanks for the upload. Greetings from Germany

Eric you really know how to make that guitar flow from within your inner soul!!!

クラプトン師匠の近年稀に見る名演！

I’ve seen Eric many times over the years. I even saw him twice in one week while he was on tour. Different sets each night which was amazing. There’s one thing with EC he may not be the fastest but who cares when Eric’s in the zone you get transported to another place. He plays with passion and it just flows out of him it’s mesmerising I watched him play after midnight twice just a few days apart and the solos were completely different but both times brilliant. That’s true skill
