- Derek and the Dominos (Clapton) performing "It's Too Late" and "Matchbox" (w/ Carl Perkins) live on the Johnny Cash Show. Recorded November 5, 1970 and broadcast on January 6, 1971. Complete appearance in a single post in perfect audio and video quality!
They need to bring shows like this back to television rather than amateur singing contests.
@Philip Holmes False
Philip Holmes. It’s not the musicians fault there are food rock bands out there if you look for them. The networks are choosing not to put them on, not the bands.
Philip Holmes true. Old videos like this are gold
Good luck
I couldn't agree more.
Given there is virtually no good video of Clapton performing during this period, this is gold.
It is because he is deepen into drugs at this point. Poor Clapton. His life is really had its ups and downs.
@@zackzallie8735 It could also be because this band was not together for too long, either. But you are correct that this is also Clapton's heroin period. Just look how skinny he is.
@@zackzallie8735 Clapton kind of fell off the map shortly after this. He pretty much was a home body because he was so caught up with both cocaine, drinking and the issues with his frustration with Patti Boyd.... Pete Townsend practically drug him out of his house to get him on stage for his collaboration concert.. But Eric relapsed again afterwards until he went to work on a farm for a year and did some rehabilitation... He kicked the drug habit, but picked up a new one in alcoholism... 401 ocean boulevard was released right at the tail end of that, but I don't believe he started touring until 76-77
100%
@@ClaptonFan91 it was smack, the coke ws there when he was boozing in 74 on, but the heroin was what he was shoving up his nose backstage before this show even
The thing I really like about Johnny Cash is that he knew no musical boundaries. He liked all genres and appealed to and influenced several generations of musicians.
Johnny Cash was a true musical genius. He’s one of those rare musicians that are liked & admired by everyone regardless of their musical tastes. If you think about it there are/were very very few musicians that managed to do that.
I never missed an episode of the Johnny Cash Show. He was absolutely fearless about the talent he booked for his show! (I am thinking of when he had Neil Young on to perform 'Needle and the Damage Done!) Carl Perkins comes across as the consummate professional here. TY for the excellent upload.
I worked a little market down the street from Johnny Cash's home growing up. He and his wife were in quite often and were always very patient and nice to fans. He even bought a boom box for a elderly woman I worked with so she could listen to his cd's (she only had a record player) and then sent an assistant out to show her how to use it.
@@jamesjohnson-vj6uu Mr Cash allowed The Guess Who to perform Share The Land when radio stations all over the land of the free were banning it because...wait for it..."communism".
Johnny's duets and collaboration with Bob Dylan, put country music together w/ beatnik poetry from NYC... both legends!!
It's awesome that at a time when Clapton was being praised so much, he seems to be so humbled to be in the presence of Johnny & Carl.
He sorta looked nervous .. It was really great to see. His eyes told a story when Perkins was playing a solo.. Not sure what the story was
Now a lot of musicians feel that way playing with Eric now.
The "True" Master is 50% Teacher and 50% Student. This stage contained 6 "Masters"
Carl Perkins was in a class of his own and everyone knew it including Clapton of course...
@@ST-cy6weWhatever the story was, it developed into a friendship between Carl Perkins and Eric Clapton.
Clapton being shy, and totally in awe. When Perkins started soloing, just look at Eric's expression. He's in heaven.
Love Clapton's expression after the Dick Dale surf slide by Perkins at 6:15
canadianroot I was going to say the same thing!
I saw that,,, that's why he got better!
The money's good and the fame can be handy, but satisfaction can only be had by reaching for what you really want...and in EC's case, it was to jam with his heros and help them.
Clapton knows he can't sing well.
Eric Clapton was golden as he always was, but Bobby Whitlocks voice was absolutely golden. A very unappreciated voice in my opinion.
Absolutely!!
I agree so much man
bobby & Duane really made the lp better
My son met Bobby in Texas around 2017. Bobby graciously signed a copy of the Layla lol for me.
Completely agree with you sir. This song along with my absolute favorite version of little wing Bobby's voice shines through with soul and utter desperation
Bobby Whitlock's voice is stunning...
O my God, Bobby made the most of this opportunity. D & Ds were great and Carl was blazing. Johnny Cash was a class act.
Herr Whitlock lebt und singt gern noch.
So was JC's......given he managed to make himself heard without a mike. Suspicious!
@@iananderson3799 In this era they used a huge crane mounted studio mike for the main star, just out of shot.
@@jameskbaxter548 Makes sense. Thanks.
This video is a piece of Rock and Roll history and must be kept forever . Clapton is like a little boy , so nervous . Great guitar . Clapton's band were the perfect backing musicians .
Eric Clapton, Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash together on the same stage performing was priceless
I really don't see Clapton as being nervous. At this point he was already touring the world for a few years .
Agreed!!
He had been touring for a few years but it was limited to Britain , parts of western Europe and the US . Cream never went to Australia or Japan as Clapton did later on .
Bobby and Eric were truly at there best here! Still gives me goosebumps.
Ya this is the shit!
What’s great here is the star struck look on Eric’s face. He’s in the presence of greatness, he owes his career to guys like Johnny and Carl, and he can’t help but show it.
This gives me chills even after the 40th (or more) view. We will never see anything like this again, at least in our lifetimes. 3 rock and roll legends not quite past their primes on the same stage ripping it up and even making a few mistakes. It all adds to the beauty of it -- no editing, no retakes, no bs. This is the epitome of real rock and roll. Or was, cus sadly it ain't coming back. And this is probably why I cry sometimes when I rewatch it.
billbillyful, I couldn't agree more!
Except Clapton is quite young here and nowhere near past his prime, lol. You're right, though, it's a great video of three legends.
Eric was 25 at the time this was filmed so nowhere near past his prime lol Also they did film several takes in front of the live audience so what we see here is a retake but I know what you mean,it's still real musicians doing their thing
I’m sad because all the Sun records and rockabilly musicians are gone, it’s my favorite style of rock, I love the energy and the attitude and I feel like rock n roll from the 50’s is ballsier than any rock n roll that came after, I also love that kind of music for the kind of people the musicians were, most of them were humble, like Johnny Cash and Carl Perkins. It makes me sad and angry that people forget the legacy it brought (especially my generation who knows nothing about music) of how it broke white and color barriers in society I feel like in todays society we’re being separated again by both blacks and whites of the way you should be and we don’t have another Elvis or Johnny Cash who could stand up and bring us back together again with music and you see too many musicians who hate a certain group of people and it’s awful, Johnny loved his fans no matter if they were rich, poor, prisoners, Christian or not and that’s why I look up to Johnny Cash
Fantastic. At the time, in 1971, Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash were age 39, while Eric Clapton was only 26. As it turned out, Carl died at age 65, Johnny died at age 71, and Eric is, at the time of me writing this, still kicking it at 76. I hope he has many more birthdays.
Damn they (Carl and Johnny) look OLD. I was still getting carded at 39. Now at 64 they let me slide.
this was actually early november 1970 taped
I love the expression on Eric's face when Carl played a few slippery licks.
He knew he was in the presense of an Icon. Never even thinking he was up there with THE BEST. 3 of the best dudes in music!!!
Clapton is totally impressed with Carl's playing and rightly so. This is a screamin version with 3 of the greats.
Carl Perkins blows.
@@JapanAlex01 Without Carl Perkins rock n roll wouldn't be the same. He was one of the most skilled & experimental guitarist of the 50s
Carl Perkins and Chuck. Both amazing
@@JapanAlex01 nobody listens to you
Bobby said that Eric was a bit intimidated at that performance. Not surprising, these were giants.
I was 13 years old and I remember watching this on television. I thought then how cool it was, but I appreciate it even more now. My parents were big Johnny Cash fans. 1971, what a great time to be a kid.
This is absolutely internet gold right here. Clapton looks like he’s just happy to be there. Incredible video.
im back here again....i never tire of this great song and performance!
Amén
this is right up there with the dirty mac version of yer blues, something i could never tire of watching/hearing
Nice Carol 😊
This is fabulous! Johnny Cash is a gracious host, introducing the whole band, nothing but respect for the musicians. The Dominoes are in top form, Eric seemed in awe a bit of where he was, especially when Carl Perkins came out. But what a great performance by all three on Matchbox! Great musicians all! Wish we had shows like this again..
EC loved all the old country performers AND all the old Blues legends. He knew what awesome music sounded like.
WHAT THE???? I never say this before, wow! I had a seven minute and 52 second smile. Derek and the Dominoes, and then Eric, Johnny and Carl?? Classic!!! Video quality amazing, too. Thanks for making my day.
Same here, had a smile all the way through!
Eric pulls out a very tasty appropriate "twangy" guitar solo on Matchbox, licks ala Albert Lee, really impressive. And then Carl comes out! How can't you smile watching all this!
Of all the great music in Clapton's catalog; from the Yardbirds and Cream, Blind Faith, and all the rest, I still think he was at his absolute best with Derek & the Dominos.
buckfan1969 one of my all time favorite albums
I agree with you. There's a quality on Derek and Domino's Layla that to me is unsurpassed. It is so deep.
If you listen to every riff on each song separately, they all fit together perfectly, no matter how individually complicated. Clapton is up there with Television for guitar genius.
BUCKFAN1969 Agreed.
buckfan1969 , I agree. Derek and the Dominos Live is a great album, Duane Allman and Eric Clapton together with Jim Gordon on Layla is phenomenal.
Three giants on the stage at once.....absolutely amazing! A performance for the ages!
wow, so much quality - so much humility. No big noting bullshit. Gotta love Johnny, acknowledged every band member.
Oh my Gawwwd the absolute greatness of this clip cannot be overstated to anybody with any taste in music
If anyone set themselves up for their elder years it was EC. He revered the "Old Men" that came before him in the time of "don't trust anyone over 30". That's why I admire him, he recognized greatness before his time! I don't know him but he seems to be eager to play with other musicians he admires. Another great trait.
Hard to believe Johnny is 37 or 38 here; Carl's about the same. And EC post Yardbirds, post Cream, post Blind Faith and post Delaney & Bonnie, now w/the Dominos is all of 25! I recall seeing this on tv when I was 11 myself.
Three GIANTS of music. All equally talented in their own ways and among the most sincere artists of all time. Cash was equally at home among country, rock, blues, and gospel performers. He drew no lines between music styles, and he pulled people in with his massive charisma and personality. I've come to regard him as one of the best and most important American artists.
Jim Gordon's a very underated drummer.
His playin on Live at the Filmore with the Domino's is pure class.
i think he was considered one of the greatest during this era. Very sought after session player and Vegas performer.
@@PatriotSteve Yeah,Eric said in his autobiography that Jim Gordon and Carl Radal were the most powerful rhythm section he's ever played with
Not underrated at all. Is considered one of the best session musicians during the 60s and 70s.
Underrated? One of the best drummers in the world at this time.
@@davidmellish3295 Considering Bruce and Baker in Cream, that's some high praise indeed. I will agree that Layla and other Assorted Love Songs" is my favorite Clapton album. There's no doubt Gordon and Radle were locked in on that album and in concert from what I've heard.
Clapton is God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Carl PERKINS ,Clapton and Cash on the same stage. I am blown away. Thank you for this great video.
Holy moly, I don’t know how I rolled across this. Absolutely classic. What a great day…
Bobby Whitlock THE BEST SIDEMAN Eric ever had
Yes indeed
He had jack Bruce but Bobby's voice is epic
@@woody816 I'd say he was a sideman to Jack back at Cream tho
Easily.
@@ZeusTheo_67 Bobby Whitlock was NOT a sideman. Bobby & Eric started Derek & the Dominos. They together took Gordon & Radle to back up/collaborate on All Things Must Pass for George Harrison. The formula was so tight & talented they decided to formally start the Dominos. Together, Eric & Bobby share writing credits on all the great songs on Layla & Other Assorted Love Songs. Jim Gordon also got a writing credit for Layla for the piano coda but Rita Coolidge (Gordon"s girlfriend, until Jim punched her in the face during Mad Dogs & Englishmen tour) said that Jim Gordon stole that from her. All the best, stay healthy!
Clapton is so much more than a blues noodler; here he's hiding behind no distortion and still comes up with a melodically perfect beautiful solo that complements the song. Great player.
Jake Zywek yes yes yes and GROOVE
Well written
A bit like mick Taylor but not quite as melodic even though it is
That's a '56 Strat, straight to a Fender amp. That's the beauty
@4Q2 smith take this comment down please.
Perkins kills it! Surf slide is epic.
Gawd he makes it look effortless
Teacher and student, Perkins/Clapton, along the imposing Johnny Cash. Unmatched musical brilliance forever preserved.
Carl Perkins ,Eric Clapton and Johnny Cash performing on the same stage is priceless
And the Perkins influence came from George Harrison who Eric looked up to like a brother. And Chet Atkins. George was promoting both even through his early Beatles input.
Jerry P absolutely incredible
More than simply a great performance, I'm always amazed about how much a short clip can speak to where EC was at this point in his style, where he'd been. his influences like Delaney, The Band, Winwood, Duane, Bobby. He's at this zenith before the big crash, and the superstardom/boredom/tragedy of the next decade. Glad he finally found happiness.
I’ve always loved Whitlock’s backup vocals with the Dominoes. Long live EC!
You can clearly see that clapton is having a hell of a time
just look at his smile. I wonder what he asked Carl at end of song?
Probably wishing Dwayne Allman was there!
@@janetcorley6212 "It was My solo, you owe me your strange guitar"
Totally stellar performance!!! Thanks for posting this incredible piece of Country Rock and
Roll history!!!😃🎸👣
That Clapton kid looks like he's going places .
B.B. King was still making that joke right up until he died. "This boy's getting pretty good!"
You think ?
Johnny cash and Eric Clapton. More then incredible. Legends having a ball playing great music. Epic. Thank you guys
Yeah, like 'The Yarbirds' and 'Cream' never happened.
Have to keep an eye on that one.
I like how shy and starstruck Eric looks when he's talking to Johnny. Looks like a happy child.
This is absolute TV gold!! A real treasure to be valued by one and all!!
Johnny"s voice is so powerful. When he's talking to Eric is like a dad talking to a son you can see you can hear it
What a treasure this is, I remember watching this when I was a teenager with my Dad and him saying that long hair boy could sure play guitar.
Too cool, a big honor for Eric to play with those guys. I wish I'd seen this back then when That band and album were at the top of my list. Yes Bobby adds a lot to this.
Carl Perkins is 100% magic. The combination of talent on that stage makes my head spin.
I didn't even recognize Eric....he looks so young. Never seen him look so young
Really nice to see Johnny welcomed Eric and the boys so well. He even had the Union Jack all over the backdrop. He must have just truly loved music and people.
Johnny Cash said that he was a country artist. but the truth is he started out as a rock and roll musician. with songs like Rock and Roll Ruby, I Will Rock for You, and Get Rhythm. and he always believed in rock and roll along with the other genres. that's why he always made room for rock and roll, blues, folk music, and country on his T.V. show. and he gave many musicians careers a huge boost having them on his show. and he stayed that way throughout his life. I'm a huge rock and roll fan. but I've had people ask me how I can like both rock and roll and country. and I have to say it's because of Johnny Cash.
Clapton was the only Brit. Bobby Whitlock, Carl Radle and Jim Gordon were from U.S.A. (Memphis, Tulsa, LA respectively).
TV show producers scheduled this. Union Jack, ha ha.
Jim Gordon’s drumming really carries this song. It seems like it’s a simple song but the way everybody performs on it brings it out to be Superb
The date on this is wrong. I was there. It was November 5, 1970. I got Clapton's autograph that night on the cover of his first solo album (still have it). That is me that whistles when Johnny says, "I really am glad to see that the people here love you like they do."
Great to here from someone who was actually there with the actual taping date. You are one lucky person. You do realize that TV shows and movies are noted by when they are broadcast / released not taped / filmed. The show was broadcast on January 6, 1971.
This was in the days before VCRs. I remember when it aired on TV. I taped the audio off the TV speaker with cassette recorder. I was glad to have it. I was very happy when the video appeared in collectors circles a good 20 years before it became available on the Johnny Cash best of DVD.
Just for the record, this was recorded about 1:15 am. Clapton was the last guest. They played 6 songs. "It's Too Late", "Got To Get Better In A Little While", 3 takes of "Matchbox" and after the taping Johnny said, "If it's alright with our producer, Eric would like to play one more for you guys" and they played "Blues Power." It was historic and one of the greatest concert experiences of my life.
stlrockn Where those songs filmed??
The TV taping happened at the Ryman Auditorium (the original Grand Ole Opry House).
The song "It´s too late" is from the great Buddy Holly
This never fails to bring me joy, and I've seen it dozens of times
5:25-7:52 is pure gold. That video clip should probably exist in the Library of Congress for safe keeping lol
Love the use of the St. George, Andrew, and Patrick crosses from the Union Jack flag in the stage background!! Brilliant!!
Damn, Bobby Whitlock's voice makes this song.
grinnin' from ear to ear - this does my heart well - rock & roll as it began
What a great performance....class, style and humble....and Johnny's voice, hot damn!!!
I remember bobby as a kid back in high school at Millington TN.
What of Bobby do you remember? Anything you can speak to? Thanks :)))
I've seen this several times & am delighted how warmly Nashville received Derek & The Dominoes especially Clapton.
Wow, this was great! Some nice Clapton blues afterwards, seeing Clapton look humbled by Johnny Cash and then Carl Perkins comes out and tears the house down..Amazing!
While none of it is my favorite artists or songs, it’s guys showing love, deference and respect to each other and radiating joy, and that’s a pretty damn compelling combination.
Wow, that was a bit special !
Just seeing this for the first time now.
Incredible footage.
Thank you so much for sharing😀🙂😊😎👌🏻👍🏻
Remembering the late great Carl Radle who past on this day at Rocks young age of 37....Music is the KEY to life.
Next to Cream, Claptons best band for my money. At the tail end of the psychedelic era Southern Soul was so radical but so perfect. And so many great bands followed.
Better than Cream. Derek and the Dominos was the best band period.
@@johncaswell2605 No way. Cream for the win.
Well said!
Perkin's first solo was a knockout. He was a very good player.
Oh boy love this Trip 😍💙 thanks for sharing
Sweet baby. He grew up right before our eyes one of the best guitar players on the planet. Thanks, Eric Clapton .
Thank God in heaven I stumbled on this video! It is priceless! As a long time Cash/Clapton fan, I've never seen these 2 perform so happily! This is the essence of working with other musicians who react the same to the music & feel it. That's a blessing for us all! 😊
Bobby Whitlock crushing it... as usual! One of the greats!
He has a youtube channel which is awesome with his wife. Booby Whitlock & Coco Carmel. If you haven't see it check it out.
This aired one day before my fourth birthday. I can actually remember seeing it on tv. And st 4 yrs old thinking, this is something i should pay attention to. When i saw it on here it lit my memory like lightning storm. Powerful music has powerful effects.
The great Carl Perkins ❤. Always love watching him perform, a showman through and through. We miss you Carl and Johnny.
This video deserves more views, this was good TV in 71, wonder why networks abandoned this show format. The shite on tv today is dismal.
This is what pure joy looks and sounds like!
I was lucky enough to see these guys at
Rider College in Lawrenceville, NJ. a few weeks before this was recorded. Five bucks to get in,front row center...one of the greatest shows of my life
Man that's got to be an awesome memory!
Mine was ‘86 ZZ Top center stage next to Billy Gibbons guitar amp. All I could hear was a drum beat & an amp. What a time to be alive!
First concert I ever attended
was Johnny Cash (and family)
in Merrillville Indiana !
*They Were AWESOME ! ! !*
That drummer Jim Gordon is the best. I mean a 12/8 blues beat is a compound/complex time feel which naturally lends itself to polyrhythms etc, etc, but really his fill ins and grooves which NEVER impinge on the rest of the band or the almighty groove itself, just make me laugh my arse off because I can NEVER predict how Jim Gordon's going to compose his next drum fill on this beautiful country blues...
I don't understand a word you said about beat/time etc., but I listen to the Derek and the Dominos ln Concert (Live at the Fillmore) as much for Gordon's drumming as Clapton's playing, and EC is my favorite musician.
Yeah, too bad he went nuts and killed his mother.
@@boataxe4605 Hell, if I had known I would have paid him to kill mine. Oh well...what can you do?
This is so awesome!!!!
Cash was such a real gentleman.
And a wife beater, but ok.

OMG! This show is simply too cool! Thanks for uploading!
Even Eric never called Bobby Whitlock a sideman. He called him his friend and they started the Dominoes together. They share equally on credits of songs during that period of time.
Eric looked so humbled when he introduced Carl ! Just Great ! There's only one Eric Clapton. This was 11 days after I seen Derek and the Domomos at The Fillmore East in NYC October 24, 1970 . Best concert ever !!!
Peter Iacontino damn wish i was there! I listen to the key to the highway live version of that and it makes my knees shake
Yes Venus, it was Great ! So good I got tickets for Derek for another show 5 weeks later in Port Chester, NY, & I didn't have a car.
One of the traits I admire most about Eric is that he was in awe of everyone he performed with. He never saw himself as superior to anyone.
*Peter Iacontino*
Did West, Bruce and Lang also perform at that concert?
azul, No West, Bruce & Lang was not on the bill. Ballin Jack & Humble Pie were on the bill.This was 1970, W.B. & L. didn't form until 1972.
after all these years this is still pure GOLD!
The great Jim Gordon. Such a powerful and bombastic drum volume and tone, that he has to mute with "tea towels" over the heads of the snare and floor tom to get the dynamics down. Fascinating:)))
Yeah, his is such a sad story. Great drummer with dynamics and flawless timing. They say schizophrenia but I think it was life on the road. Drugs and alcohol took their toll on him. He and Carl Radle were a powerhouse rhythm section, right there with David Garibaldi/Rocco Prestia.
Thank you soooo much for the memory. Love it, tapping my feet right now.
What a moment! And the talking voice of JC was so powerful and amazing!
I always said, Eric Clapton may be British, but he's a Southern rocker at heart!
More of a blues man really which of course is where rock came from.
Jas blench, THE SOUTHERN STATES ARE HEAVILY PEOPLED BY PEOPLES OF GREAT BRITAIN.
Eirann LeNormand peopled...?
Yes you are right, the southern states also tend to be populated by these sorts of fellas. ^
Peopled is a real word.
you're absolutely right.He's from Frimley ,Surrey deep in the South of our little ol' country.
Johnny turns and acknowledges the band before talking to Eric, that's class.
That was marvelous !
Carl Radle was such a great player! He jammed with all the greats from Leon Russell,J.J.Cale,
Buddy Guy, The Band,Duane Allman and George Harrison just to name a few. Radle was a big
help in Clapton's return to recording and kicking drugs. But he couldn't help himself passing at
only 37 years old from alcohol and narcotics. RIP Mr.Radle
How can you not love this live performance? Fantastic
Always loved watching the master of the Stratocaster at work !
Wow. That was a serious piece of work
Incredible
You can watch Eric & just tell what a humble man he was & still is. He is a classy man. I have nothing but good things to say about him. Even while he was 'Clapton Is God' he never even considered himself as The Best. He embraced all guitarists & loved their talent. Never even thinking about himself. What an amazing treasure for all music lovers. My Mother passed away a few years ago & she went to heaven knowing in her heart that EC was God....... ✌️❤️🤘
Man the drummer is playing so good
The drummer for Derek & The Dominos was later diagnosed as schizophrenic after he murdered his mother. Such a shame he didnt get the help he needed b4 it was Too Late.............
@cyndygough4107 Jim Gordon one of the best of his time.
Wow. This is amazing find on the Johnny Cash show no less.
If you keep a close watch on Clapton when is is playing with Carl Perkins, he is like a kid in a candy store. Amazed that he is with these legends.
I've never seen this before and gotta say it's good to feel the hairs standing up!
There was never a better a better singing Duo than Bobby Whitlock and Eric Clapton!!!
For Rock/Blues....they're great but best? IDK....ever seen Clapton and Pavarotti...changing the subject?
That's why Eric is a Legend
God Clapton's tone is so good
Thank you for posting that. That's the best Derek and the Dominoes footage I've ever seen.
I remember watching this show when it aired back in the early 1970s. Derek & the Dominos were huge, not only for their great album but for their outstanding live performances. This segment of The Johnny Cash Show should always be preserved because it not only contains Cash & Clapton but also one of the early Rock n' Roll pioneers Carl Perkins. I enjoyed this performace as much today as I did 50 years ago. Thanks✌.
The smile on EC’s face when CP was playing says it all. This is pure gold.
Excellent 😀
Eric and band are in fine fettle singing and playing. And the joy that Carl Perkins immediately brings to the assemblage, is palpable. He is a cat, man! Met Carl's manager once and he told me what an unassuming, humble guy Carl was. I can believe it. Young Eric was humble and properly respectful, too.
Genius Jim Gordon on the drum throne. An unbelievable legend in music, an unbelievable tragedy in life. Jim's finally at peace now and drumming-on in the heavens.
Wow, very interesting (and weird) mix of legendary musicians! Nice to see Eric mix in with the rockabilly guys...
