I played this song hundreds of times on my guitar after my wife divorced me. Over and over and over again. It was very therapeutic. The POWER OF MUSIC! Thank you Eric Clapton!!!
I was a teenager when this song came out. I must have have played the album until it wore out. Now I’m 64. And Clapton still sounds AWESOME. Thank you EC!
Everyone points to Layla as the showstopper off the album, but this is the track that still reduces me to tears. This performance especially. An emotionally-devestating song.
Bell bottom blues, you made me cry I don't want to lose this feeling And if I could choose a place to die It would be in your arms Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you? Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back? I'd gladly do it because I don't want to fade away Give me one more day, please I don't want to fade away In your heart I want to stay It's all wrong, but it's all right The way that you treat me baby Once I was strong but I lost the fight You won't find a better loser Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you? Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back? I'd gladly do it because I don't want to fade away Give me one more day, please I don't want to fade away In your heart I want to stay Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you? Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back? I'd gladly do it 'cause I don't want to fade away Give me one more day, please I don't want to fade away In your heart I want to stay Bell bottom blues, don't say goodbye I'm sure we're gonna meet again And if we do, don't you be surprised If you find me with another lover Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you? Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back? I'd gladly do it 'cause I don't want to fade away Give me one more day, please I don't want to fade away In your heart I want to stay I don't want to fade away Give me one more day please I don't want to fade away In your heart I want to stay I don't want to fade away Give me one more day please I don't want to fade away In your heart I want to stay
Good evening Eric🧡🧡🧡 Every time I hear "Bell Bottom Blues", it makes me sad and painful. But I love this moment and I love this song. Eric's voice and delicate guitar tone... it really draws me in. I want to spend the night / the whole day listening to your songs.
Wow Nathan is the one playing so melodic & smooth. Damn he plays a better solo on the bass than Clapton does on the guitar - He overshadows Eric. Alas, but Eric's vocals gives me goosebumps & brings the tears everytime. A Living legend - God Bless you EC
Eric still sounds the same now as he did in the 70s! This is one of the greatest love songs ever, and you can truly hear Eric's heart poured into the song! He can write one heck of a song!
Sad to admit this but this is my 2nd favorite Clapton song. River of Tears is my number 1 all time favorite from the many gteat songs he's done. But I do love this song very much! Thst bluesy sound he has is such an emotional feeling.
1970 when I bought derek and the dominos, this was one of my favorite songs, and across the ups and downs of a lifetime it has remained so ! the ability of E.C. to cover his own songs in so many different ways , just shows his depth as a true Guitar Master ,and surely the body of his music will never fade away ...Thanks E.C.
This song is all about passion. Passion for love and life. ERIC. does a tremendous job of this . I get such an uplift hearing this. Especially knowing some of the pain he has been through
I last saw him live when he had Derek Trucks in the lineup a few years back. they played a lot of Domino's stuff and it was great. But this lineup here, any band with Steve Gadd and Preston is just amazing. We'll miss him when he hangs it up.
I've been listening to this song for the past 54 years. I saw EC perform it all electric, similar to the LP. This acoustic version, with this stellar band is far and away the best version of Bell Bottom Blues.
boy I am so glad I got to see him at largo md in the 80s willy nelson opened, at 60 all my great songs are so old, give me one more for the road, thanks for a life time of great songs
Yes , this was from one more car one more rider show, I was lucky enought to see his show in Houston,Tx in 2006. Exellent show supurb band. Billy Preston you are very missed RIP!!!!!!
All time Fav. This brings out so much emotion I just can't explain. Who hasn't been in the place he is singing about. Keep it up E.C. You move me to no end.
I'd gladly do it....I don't want to fade--in ur heart I want to stay... I have seen EC twice-both times in Raleigh, NC Dean Dome and NCState, no one is better than Eric Clapton....no one alive! I
Whatever am I going to do when Eric gives up playing completely or even dies? He has already said his health is now no great shakes. I grew with his music (I even had the privilege of seeing Derek and the Dominos live at college) but I get the feeling it is all coming to an end.
It's a unfortunate fact but the musicians we grew up with are getting older, just like we are. The last 12 - 18 months has proven this. Many never made it this far.
dinbrew, thanks for the line-up card. What sweet, beautiful music. It puts the garbage of the last 25 years in pop music to shame. Boy these guys are good, what a well-oiled machine of sweet music. Yet another classic inspired by that goddess Pattie Boyd Harrison.
Ah, what a beautiful song, lyrics written by one of the best guitarists on the planet, and still going strong. The acoustic guitars in this performance are incredible. Love EC and love Mark Knopfler for writing this classic tune with him. Thank You.
if it's un-plugged rockers it had almost better be an Eric Clapton show and his Vocals have developed so much depth of soul and pure anguish the emotion only comes from one who knows the Blues from real-life situations. some have been hurt deeply but only they can express that depth God Bless you, man. We love Eric Patrick Clapton
“Bell bottom blues, you make me cry, I don't want to lose these feeling. If I could choose a place to die, It would be in your arms.” I can think of no other words to express your love for some one. I believed that the first time I heard it in 1970, and even more so now.
I heard this song for the first time yesterday... and it just blew my mind! It is such an amazing song, really! It stirs up so much emotions and I absolutely love it!

Pure Magic!! "Do you wanna see me crawl across the floor to you, I'd gladly do it" - doesn't get more visceral than this

Hi
Old man....where are the papers old man...
This here is a supergroup! Doesn’t get any better.
Everyone points to Layla as the showstopper off the album, but this is the track that still reduces me to tears. This performance especially. An emotionally-devestating song.
Those jeans👖 he got for Pattie when he came to America!💙. Love it.
How can you have 77 thumbs down ? If you don’t like the song or Clapton, why did you watch the video?
The whole world should listen to this.
Even now I'm not tiring listening his song. March 26 2021
Written for Patti Boyd Harrison. His best friend's wife. She became his wife, too. Sometimes wishes become a nightmare.
His best friend George...
was the song for georgies wife not layla ?
@@juergenubl8238 Same lady.
Do less
Yep!
you play enough.. and you earn the right to find a chair and get comfy in front of your fans
wonderful Billy Preston on organ
agreed!!!
I’m here because it’s one of Patties favorites as she’s tweeted on Twitter today . I love ❤️ Pattie xxx Happy Birthday 🎉 EC xx

I'd gladly do it 'cause
I don't want to fade away
Give me one more day, please

This version is BETTER than the original
He just pours his heart out in this song, one of my all time favorites
Good evening Eric🧡🧡🧡
Every time I hear "Bell Bottom Blues", it makes me sad and painful. But I love this moment and I love this song.
Eric's voice and delicate guitar tone... it really draws me in.
I want to spend the night / the whole day listening to your songs.
The whole thing's amazing, but Billy was just a bloody legend on Hammond!
My favorite song by Eric Clapton
the best version of bell bottom blues
not only is he one of the best guitarists in the world, but he can write love songs that just hit the spot. amazing!
Wow Nathan is the one playing so melodic & smooth. Damn he plays a better solo on the bass than Clapton does on the guitar -
He overshadows Eric. Alas, but Eric's vocals gives me goosebumps & brings the tears everytime. A Living legend - God Bless you EC
blows me away every time; one of best tunes ever written
well said
Eric still sounds the same now as he did in the 70s! This is one of the greatest love songs ever, and you can truly hear Eric's heart poured into the song! He can write one heck of a song!
This song broke my heart. Only unrequited love can be romantic....such powerful lyrics
Helped me heal through a very dark time love song.....
One of my all time favorites,from e.c.'s
Derek & the Domino's album.
Beautiful, so beautiful...
Thank you, gratefully.
Peace & Harmony, all!
Damn I Love this man and all his talent......
@Nathalie +
Favorite Clapton by the GOAT! And WHAT A BAND!!! I’ve watched this video countless times over the years! NEVER gets old!
Slow Hand, there'll never be another!
Who knew that pain could sound so beautiful...?
d ko pa rin ipagpapalit ang tugtugan noong dekada setenta
Sad to admit this but this is my 2nd favorite Clapton song. River of Tears is my number 1 all time favorite from the many gteat songs he's done. But I do love this song very much! Thst bluesy sound he has is such an emotional feeling.
Lord, have MERCY!! I still get chills from this one! "It's all wrong , but it's all right"
1970 when I bought derek and the dominos, this was one of my favorite songs, and across the ups and downs of a lifetime it has remained so ! the ability of E.C. to cover his own songs in so many different ways , just shows his depth as a true Guitar Master ,and surely the body of his music will never fade away ...Thanks E.C.
Nathan always SMOKES! He's such a happy guy... see him on Lay Down Sally with Eric. He's havin' SUCH a good time! He's a great singer too...
Keith Bickerstaffe
What's that bass he's playing? Lovely tone!
" ..you won't find a better looser!" ...caught my heart!
Do you wanna see me crawl across the floor? That line kills me every time!
This song is all about passion. Passion for love and life. ERIC. does a tremendous job of this . I get such an uplift hearing this. Especially knowing some of the pain he has been through

I saw the same lineup, robert cray opened was phenomenal. Derek Trucks stole the show!!
I've been listening to this song for the past 54 years. I saw EC perform it all electric, similar to the LP. This acoustic version, with this stellar band is far and away the best version of Bell Bottom Blues.
back in the day we had talented musicians creating amazing music.
We still have - you just gotta search for them.
Boomer kkkk
@@PaulGLarsson 5 years later and I still haven't found any better.
boy I am so glad I got to see him at largo md in the 80s willy nelson opened, at 60 all my great songs are so old, give me one more for the road, thanks for a life time of great songs
Man that is pure music no auto tune. like with the new Artist of Today.. I am glad that, I was born in this Era of Music. 70's / 80' and 90's.
Truly the king of the strings Clapton is god!!
Eric the love of my life😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I have seen Clapton in concert four different decades, he is The MAN! Cheers Eric
Eric Clapton has my heart.
The best version of this classic !!!
Great line up !!
writerjmd thanks for your opinion .
My favorite EC song growing up. Glad to still see him perform this!
I've seen most of the greats from the 70's but missed Eric every time he was in town. I would pay a lot right now to see him!
I saw him once. Awesome.
El gran ERIC CLAPTON. Maravilloso!!!!
😊😊 4:55 😊😊😊😊😊😊
Yes , this was from one more car one more rider show, I was lucky enought to see his show in Houston,Tx in 2006. Exellent show supurb band. Billy Preston you are very missed RIP!!!!!!
Eric Clapton, Sir, A gentleman sang this to me 40 years ago.......still so poignant...still loving....Thankyou for this beautiful piece of music.
Very tasty organ licks from the fifth Beatle .RIP Billy!
Man, Nathan East is KILLIN! Love that tone and the playing. Just gorgeous!
I don't want to fade away...give me all I want to stay. Thank you for the upload, great song by a great musician.
Oh my! A piece of my heart belongs to Eric!
Makes my eyes water every time, love it!
Goosebumps all over my flesh. Real music, raw emotion. Awesome!
It took him 40 years to give Bobby Whitlock credit for co-writing this song. He did, however, do the right thing and compensated Bobby.
Killer cover, the best! 🔥
This song is one of my very favorites. I even have it in my head when I wake up in the morning sometimes. lol :)
Yes, it's very powerful. ❤
I'm sure that 11 years after that comment, you still listen to the man's music. He's pure love!
One of my favourite songs of all time.
Wow incredible version...
My favorite song from the album
This here is real music reflecting real emotions. come on todays music, i havent heard somthing halve as good as this made in the last ten years.
An old song but still I am not tiring to hear it over and over again.
Talk about a good night. This has to be one of his most "on" performances ever.
I don't always hit the replay button, but when i do, is on this video
Best performance I’ve ever scene. Searched for years. Thanks guy! You helped me find the best version of this song Iv ever heard!
All time Fav. This brings out so much emotion I just can't explain. Who hasn't been in the place he is singing about. Keep it up E.C. You move me to no end.
This is one of my favorites
I'd gladly do it....I don't want to fade--in ur heart I want to stay...
I have seen EC twice-both times in Raleigh, NC Dean Dome and NCState, no one is better than Eric Clapton....no one alive! I
We all know when it's that deep, another lover is just a sub!
There's actually someone on this planet that doesn't like this....SMH ..
Whatever am I going to do when Eric gives up playing completely or even dies? He has already said his health is now no great shakes. I grew with his music (I even had the privilege of seeing Derek and the Dominos live at college) but I get the feeling it is all coming to an end.
his music will never die
It's a unfortunate fact but the musicians we grew up with are getting older, just like we are. The last 12 - 18 months has proven this. Many never made it this far.
So many great musicians have died lately.
Beautiful version! Clapton is God!
MySallee no he's not Good but he has definitely been touched by Him.
Sounding better then ever.
How good the video maker with Steve Gad's shots!! You are ver y greats!!!
i never wanted to fade away.....
one of the most perfect songs to fix a relationship, i should know.....Eric your the man
dinbrew, thanks for the line-up card. What sweet, beautiful music. It puts the garbage of the last 25 years in pop music to shame. Boy these guys are good, what a well-oiled machine of sweet music. Yet another classic inspired by that goddess Pattie Boyd Harrison.
She inspired 3 of the greatest Songs ever written. Something, Layla, Bell Bottom Blues
I listen to this album more than 1000 times.
Great song..
Such a classic... One of my most favorite Clapton songs...
Nathan East the bass player, is smokin'!
Preach it
one of my favorites from Eric
Dr. Steve Gadd on the drums! He has no equal on this planet!
Ah, what a beautiful song, lyrics written by one of the best guitarists on the planet, and still going strong. The acoustic guitars in this performance are incredible. Love EC and love Mark Knopfler for writing this classic tune with him. Thank You.
Song written by EC & Bobby Whitlock
I Love you Eric! Thank you for all the good music!!!
if it's un-plugged rockers it had almost better be an Eric Clapton show and his Vocals have developed so much depth of soul and pure anguish the emotion only comes from one who knows the Blues from real-life situations. some have been hurt deeply but only they can express that depth God Bless you, man. We love Eric Patrick Clapton
Wow what a line-up on this stage ! Excellent !
Always loved his songs and I like to represent you in Brazil and Latin America ... Forever Clapton. A big hug, health and much peace!
“Bell bottom blues, you make me cry,
I don't want to lose these feeling.
If I could choose a place to die,
It would be in your arms.”
I can think of no other words to express your love for some one.
I believed that the first time I heard it in 1970, and even more so now.
Seeit, hearit, feelit, believeit
