- Eric Clapton performing with Phil Collins at Live Aid in front of 100,000 people in the John F. Kennedy Stadium, Philadelphia USA on the 13th July, 1985. The event was organised by Sir Bob Geldof and Midge Ure to raise funds for the Ethiopian famine disaster. Broadcast across the world via one of the largest satellite link-ups of all time, the concerts were seen by around 40% of the global population.

If only Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker were with him for this performance! Imagine if Cream had reunited at Live Aid!
That would have been great.
the holy trinity of the 60's would be backk
Yeah, it sounds like half the song is missing without them. Plus this was when Clapton was going really mellow with his tone. It just lacks the punch his work with Cream and his 70s work had.
Don't miss the redhead !
That didn't happen until they played together for the 1st time after 23 years when inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in '93. But -- I was fortunate to see them together at Royal Albert Hall in 2005 on their tour that year. Magical. First time I'd seen them live since 1968! Saw Clapton numerous times, but it took 37 years to see 2 Cream concerts.
Phil Collins is that good on the drums that he literally watches the other drummer to play in time with him just to make it sound absolutely perfect
Rodzilla king gizzard and the lizard wizard
@Rodzilla I concur!
According to Geldof when they recorded 'Feed the World' there was no plan to have live drums, Phil turned up with a kit and nailed the drum track in one take.
Phil Collins is great BUT Ginger Baker the absolute best playing CREAM songs.
@@nachojara9346 You're making stuff up
This song is so empty without ginger baker. Truly the greatest
Awful with these drummers. Some weak cowbell sound from one and one of the worst drummers I've ever seen in Phil "CONCORD" Collins. Remember when The Cars were on earlier and they kept showing that wankers plane???? so aggravating. CZcams it.
+Johnny Macalvee I remember at the time being really turned off by the whole what I call the "Phil show" during Live Aid. But to his credit he did apologize for it in his autobiography.
yeah now that you say that , even i do feel the same
Very true. Two drummers and not even close to Baker. He was a beast!
Man! UR So true.
And this was probably the first time he’d played this song in concert in about 17 years...
sTRAIT jACKET This was in the middle of that tour. I think he debuted it here, then started playing it after.
There's some earlier shows on the tour in late June, early July.
Paul Shaffer taught him how to play it again on Letterman.
wow!
Listening to this performance makes one appreciate Ginger Baker's drumming genius even more than before.
The backup singers are killing it! 👍
who are the backup singers?
Eric has the best girls
@@gigishapiro no clue
Shaun Murphy and Marcy Levy
@@elizabethshingola2787 true
Phil Collins performed with Sting, Eric Clapton and Led Zeppelin on the same day. And in 2 different continents!
Don't ever mention the Led Zeppelin incident 🤫
What Led Zeppelin incident? Jimmy Page fighting a microphone? Robert Plant voice crack? Never heard of it.
I respect Phil's talent. He is an amazing drummer....just a remem....no offense whatever to Phil.....Ginger Baker well 'Cream' 3 guys just outright hard rock icons...as good as it gets.....at the time, you know these three guys in London among the musicians were known as the 'cream of the crop' hence, they called themselves - "Cream" -
He fucked up the zeppelin reunion
@@andrecostes6115 Allez les gars.Arrêtez.Les batteurs ce sont Tony Allen et Stewart Copeland.czcams.com/video/dgPAyY36U0g/video.html
That killer solo is amazing , Eric clapton rocks
Eric absolutely killed it. Loved the backup vocals, too.
Il était énervé, ce jour-là...
@Jonathan Detroyat Pour quoi?
@@comanchio1976 il voulait faire une autre chanson ("cocaïne", je crois), mais l'organisation a refusé...
See 2005 version with Ginger Backer and Jack Bruce,
I was there at age 17. It was incredibly hot that day and things were starting to cool off around sunset when Clapton came on. Phil Collins had just arrived via the Concorde. Looking back, 35 years later (how?), it was the best concert of my life.
I was there also! It was the best concert in world history! And nothing could ever top it!
@@richparker9968 - Funny. Many said the same thing about the original Woodstock just 16 years earlier.
Me too, I got there the night before and tried to sleep in the car, didn't really work, gates opened up early and I grabbed my then girlfriends arm and I told her, do not stop, do not look back, you hang onto me and we'll make it close to that stage so we ended up still a good 40 feet away just a little right of center and didn't move for 14 hours, I didn't, she did to go to the bathroom, not even one drink, no water or soda, a brutal long day, under rehearsed and rushed but it was glorious...I could never ever do that again.
@@hardboiledharry4061 sounds very similar. Did you ever find yourself in a video?
@@bradforddillman7671 Maybe...did you watch a lot of porn in the 80's?
Dude has been his own tribute act for 50 years.
Not bad going!
Eric Clapton on guitar, Phil Collins on drums, doesn't get much better than that...
should've had phil collins singing
Eric Clapton on guitar, Ginger Baker on drums 💯
@@jaimedrum 1:07 1:14, 2:18-2:27 and at east half a dozen more times, it is clearly Phil Collins
Stewart Copland on drums,it's better.
@@TheRealRedRooster baker is in another league entirely
Eric was born to play the guitar, great player.
greatest cream song hands down
this masterpiece deserve more views
Supertramp 93 are you serious? Not even close to being the greatest cream song. There are so many better songs on wheels of fire.
For me White Room, Sunshine of your Love, Crossroads and Spoonful are the best Cream songs.
FTStratLP wheels of fire is definitely there best record
I like Sweet Wine
Umm Tales of Brave Ulysses
What do coffee and Eric Clapton have in common?
They are both just a little better with cream
And a guitar that has humbuckers
Clapton is just great by himself
Yes... But Clapton as coffee, despite the absence of cream, is still awesome
So true.
lol
This performance put 6 Clapton albums into the US charts making him a lot of money.
It’s not the money dude, it’s the performance
Money well earned for some great work🎸🔥👍
With the world watching he delivers again . Not many could have .
RIP Mr Jamie Oldaker 07-16-2020 You were an awesome drummer sir and the pride of Tulsa!
That was the good old 80's never see these days again.
It took two drummers to replace the great Ginger Baker.....and they still came up short......R.I.P. Ginger.
Yes.....and let me say, it wasn't easy for Clapton when both drummers...or one of them crashed a bit too hard where Eric's solo comes in at that traditional tempo to White Room....because Eric's solo eases in quickly, correctly...you can see the look on his face.....with such a large and loud cymbal crash - right there...look for it.......Eric pulled it off anyway and really sound is often the case at live venues......I just think Clapton isn't thrilled to death with playing with two trapset drummers anymore. I feel that Clapton's blues carries a great "appreciation," if you will...to this particular song "White Room"...Our icons are living forever.
Lol your drunk
Love that harmony from the back up singers
Steve b That’s Marcy Levy, aka Marcella Detroit (also of Shakespeare’s Sister) and Yvonne Elliman (who played Mary Magdalen in Jesus Christ Superstar on both stage and screen, and had a disco hit “If I Can’t Have You”) Both are very talented in their own right - Eric was incredibly lucky to have them both with him for the Behind the Sun album & tour.
@@gerstelb Its not Yvonne Elliman,its Shaun Murphy with Marcy
IT WAS A HOT DAY
WITH MY BEST FRIEND LYNN MACKEY❤
REST IN PEACE SISTER I'LL SEE YOU IN HEAVEN 🙏☦️
Catching both the UK and US on an enormous screen....it was one hell of an experience and still a great memory. 😊😁🙃😄
Always a class act. The pinnacle of performance. Musical perfection.
Phil and Jamie played brilliant here they knew each other well and there was no competition....just a lot of mutual respect ...both great players ...and of course the rest of the band ....especially that Eric bloke ...
How the hell did this become 35 years ago?? Feels like last year to me. Reliving the good times...before we go into the bad time..
Love that Eric's epic solo !
Eric’s live aid performance reestablished him as a super star
Clapton with that look at the 5:05 mark, "Yes, I'm a Bad Man on this Guitar"........lol
No comment can undermine the highlight of this song that is the guitar solo, absolutely phenomenal
It’s unbelievably clean and I’m not sure if he used a manual wah or one that’s an affect on an amp but the wah was perfect wasn’t over bearing and could understand each note
@@AdamReale Clapton is a magician
Not wrong there bro!
you can see him using the pedal @@AdamReale
@@connornicholson3944Eric certainly knows how to use it to perfection
Kind of appropriate that Clapton's solo begins at 4:20
thanks for pointing that out
Why?
@@apb. something something 420 something something
Great performance here. I can imagine Jimi playing with Eric here and singing it too!!!
Do tell. Somebody else has already asked.
ERIC CLAPTON in its time was spoken of as the world's best guitarist.
So he played Layla in double time and white room at half the speed 🤨
I hate that thing, this version of the White Room is kinda empty and less magnificent than a one done with Cream
I believe its the drummer that sets the tempo.
Nick V and he decided it you nonce
i dont see the problem they are still both amazing live performances even tho not as close to the studio version as it couldve been
@@giovannigobbi4832 fun fact, Phil Collins played Layla at a faster tempo because he had to take a wee and well the band had to adjust.
Don’t remember this from the TV broadcast - think I must have gone out to the loo while this was on !!!
Phil Collins on drums ? Blimey !!
Mr phill collins drumms,
..and Donald Duck Dunn on bass
@@andreabini5128 the best time
Brooks Reed No one said that. We all know that Ginger is an absolute beast.
Brooks Reed debatable
andrea bini Phil Collins, Eric Clapton, and Donald Duck Dunn playing white room. My life is complete
I think Phil Collins did great job on the Drums 🥁
Jamie Oldaker is also playing drums.
You think bad.
so do I. 👍
I watched this as a 13 year old when it was first broadcast and thought Eric Clapton was second only to Queen that day. It made me a Clapton fan for life.
I was there....and it was awesome...….
Io lo vidi in diretta TV dall' Italia alle 2 del mattino presto great
I love this song since I was a young man
so do Ì! A great song!
The one song that didn't need more cowbell, and yet... Thank-you backing singer lady. I can't unhear it now. EVER....
According to his biographer, Clapton was nearly paralyzed by stage fright, almost got electrocuted by the microphone, and nearly passed out from the heat. He keeps it together pretty good, though. It's certainly a better set than the total debacle of Led Zeppelin on the same stage.
Reading the autobiography right now. I hope I get to read this.
@@prathameshbhambure Just finished it. Clapton indeed writes about Live Aid in depth. My recollection may be a bit faulty, but as I recall it he doesn't cover stage fright but does cover the rest of the above.
It’s a great book, just read it. He was an obsessive compulsive man. How he survived I don’t know. I loved it but I found the last few chapters boring, because he’d found happiness in the family life! The 60s 70s and 80s is where the meat is.
Correct! It was during his relapse period, having marriage troubles with Patti and physically and emotionally exhausted once again. He did great though! (as if there was a doubt)
I heard Collins didn't know the songs.
Also, he may have been trying to outdo the other drummer during the Zep set.
Per Jimmy Page.
I grew up with Cream playing in my house - this is the first time I have heard this version and it is so lacklaster.
Best Live Version
❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏GREATEST guitarist OF ALL TIME! And I have heard them all but only he is supreme! 🙏❤️from india
nobody:
guitar center employee: yeah i actually played rhythm guitar for clapton in 85... i dont have any pictures, but it was sick man
His name is Tim Renwick
Best sound of the day was this song and set
39 yrs ago for me seeing this and probably listened to since I was 5.
WAS THERE! ❤ WHAT A PERFORMANCE!
I was there Great Show🎶🎼🎵🎸😎👊
Clapton is a legend . My favorite tracks are Layla and Bellbottom Blues
Eric seems so happy playing back then in 1985
Super cool 😎 👌 excellent concert 😀 show 😀
That glorious Wah...
Wow I think Clapton was wonderful as usual- and those ladies- their beautiful voices just... It was just so good.. and right no Ginger Baker-- but it's still great-- I was 10 years old when white room came out-- to me-- Clapton is cream...
"Absolutely extraordinary".
Happy 75th.. March 30, 1945.. Rock and Roll hall of Fame.. So many accolades.. You did a lot of good for rock..
Phil Collins played in London, then took the Concord here to Philly. Busy beaver. Good man.
Phil Collins was a punk.
Yep and added nothing to either concert. He was (might still be) an egomaniac, he agreed to do the 2 shows only if the cameras followed him. I used to be a Genesis and Phil Collins fan. Wasn't after I found that out.

Cream should have had a reunion at Live Aid
Probably would be better than that Led Zeppelin performance
@@pigo_io1382 they probaly werent speasking at that time
Genial por Don Eric Clapton por participar en este magnífico concierto
ec was my hero then, and now that he has boldly come out to share how his life was changed by the astra Zeneca jab, he has made me realize how special he is.
Phil Collins on Drums? Wow!
Deep Dish that’s what he played for genesis and possibly one of the best of his generation with the exception on John bonham
Collins sounded funny with Zep.
Them Drums always my favorite of this song ..
Happy 78th Birthday Eric Clapton! 🎸🔥🎶🎵🎼
I like how Phil did that fill at the end
Eric Clapton feat. Phil Collins. What more could you ask for?
Phil Collins on drums, good Lord!
My aunt and mother were lucky enough to see this live aid, not too jealous because the UK version was fucking insane
Clapton performing up on stage solo with just an acoustic guitar, a bar stool and a microphone, from an audience prospective, is great. Me personally, im of the opinion Clapton is better on his own. Hands down.
pretty sure this was the first gig he ever did completely sober - and he was incredibly nervous. he also got an electrical shock from the mic when he started singing :D
This was nice to see again. Thank you for posting. man, i remember the live broadcast of this. We were invited to a BBQ at a neighbors new home aways away. We'd go in and out of the house to the backyard while this was on. I happened to cruise by just when this tune started and everyone else was outside. I'd been a fan of EC since Cream but was hit and miss after EC Was Here in '75. This live set i loved though. I thought it was great.
Its hard to argue that Live Aid 85 isn't the Greatest Concert that ever will ever exist.
Clapton is a GOD
one of the stand out sets, that day...because its just Clapton being Clapton...and singing/playing all the old shit that we love. I saw him there at JFK, when I was all of 11 yrs old..6 yrs before LIVE AID. And in those days, there was no such thing as security combing thru the crowds to bust people in the crowd for using dope and weed. I saw all of that stuff, sitting on my Uncle's shoulders. Bonnie Raitt opened for him..and to this day, its one of the best concerts Ive ever been to.
Good job Eric Clapton. The back-up singers were great too.
More than back ups!
No matter what version, if you want to listen to White Room, you need Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker. Without them, Eric will not show all his talents.
Clapton was on fire in this version.
That is very true!
4:19 was EVERYTHING
Thank you so much for helping Africa! Listening in 2022✨❤️✨❤️✨
Hello Laura
How are you doing
Thanks for your love, support and for been an amazing fan!❤️
It's nice meeting you here
2 drummers to play one song. Wow.
That solo...
Live Aid should be in the history books.
Absolutely INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!
The best live version of this song 🎉❤😊
My then-on-again-off-again- girlfriend and I provided live commentary to one another throughout.
I recall we agreed that Clapton looked and sounded marvelous --:
There are 10 people onstage doing a half-speed walk through of a great song that 3 guys once did as a tour de force! It seems like Eric has forgotten that he was one of those guys.
Not a popular sentiment, but my thoughts exactly
Agreed. One of the all time greatest rock songs and Eric didn't seem to into it. The solo was pretty good but his singing was not.
It was live aid. The wholle crew were on it.
@@mathsfornineyearolds Well, he never sang it before and it was a last minute addition to the set.
You totally missed the point of that act
THAT WAS AMAZING!
This performance of White Room brings back warm memories of being in the town square during 4th of july. It posesses similar energy.
Vintage Clapton...shades of Cream
Puro genio musical en el escenario.
It's beautiful
There we go Eric Clapton
If you read his book these CZcams clips are more interesting.
Just tell us save us from reading a whole book...
What's the name of the book your referring to, I've seen multiple Eric Clapton books
@@lindegrimm4707 He's only written one autobiography.
The fact he was a functioning heroin addict and could deliver at this level is a testament to his mastery ...... what do we have now ? Tekashi 69 and mumble rappers addicted to cough syrup ..... fucking shoot me where I sit
Nik Boyle i thought he kicked heroin in like 79 or so and this in 1985
seeing Duck Dunn here i thought - it would have been great if the Blues Brothers did Live Aid :-)
blessed are the ones who knew what i was thinking about what is going on with the universe
Cudowny i wyjątkowy Eric ❤
Man just ain’t the same without Bruce or Baker
Marcella Detroit on backing vocal
You mean marcy levi?
Great performance
Jaw dropping 😃! Outstanding.
There's a great comment on Layla that says "Clapton looks like an office worker that just came out from work, threw away his tie and took his guitar to rock"
For us this music is an inspiration, Clapton amomg many others are our references. For those wishing some new rock you can download our first EP for free. Gives us feedback. This is just the beginning..
Love your music! Found this comment and gave it a shot! Get far please!
