we have to thank eric clapton , for bringing us the music of the GREAT & Legandary Robert Johnson , i got the "complete recordings" and everytime i listen to "sweet home chicago" or "red hot " its running cold down my back , and my hairs are standing up , Johnsons Delta Blues style is so GENIUS ! THANK YOU ERIC "!!
This version is on the DVD that comes with "Me and Mr. Johnson". It is really fantastic how Clapton handles everything. A loud mention to Chris Stainton on the piano, he is really great and a quiet guy who's been around for many yearsand is just like the good wines!!
You have to buy the CD & DVD box set "Sessions for Robert J" from which this video is taken. Amazingly, I believe there is no audio recording available of this song performed by Mr Clapton. This is my favourite Robert Jonhson cover by Clapton. IT IS GOOD!!!
@torivas this is from the sessions for robert j cd + dvd. the dvd bonus is great with live sessions like this plus clapton talking about robert johnson.
@LINKMASTERX It's on itunes from the album 'Me and Mr. Johnson'. You can buy it as a single track off there for $1.29. He also plays it on the Crossroads 2004 album if you can find that.
@torivas The song is recorded on the SET DVD / CD "Sessions for Robert Johnson", only on the DVD. The recording here is part of it. PS: My best DVD ever !!
@torivas this is from a DVD called 'Sessions for Robert J' It's all video of clapton and his band in the studio playing RJ music, along with Clapton in some old hotels recording, and some good interviews. VERY GOOD. I reccommend it.
@Harlehz i think its just a gibson but i don't know which one... i'm sure it's not a gretsch, gretsch belongs to Fender so they won't create a guitar with gibson... strange but cool guitar
.... Piano solo kills me every time... LOVE IT!
The RHCP version leaves Robert Johnson rolling in his grave.......Clapton did it justice!
I just discovered this treasure - shiver me timbers!!
Clapton did such a great job on this.... Really enjoyed it. This song is fun ! Don't try to compare this with the original just ENJOY IT !

Tune! X
Bellissima cover....bravo Eric
Totally agree man, loved their version but godamn if this ain't one of Clapton's finest covers
Awesome! Boys are jammin.
WooHoo! Love it!
that's definitly best .
Way WAY better than the version released on the album
I am the biggest peppers fan you will ever meet. but this blows their version right out the water
simplemente digno de robert johnson ,homenajeado por el gran eric clapton
just learned this on stand up bass, i played along you guys are great!!!
You have to buy the CD & DVD box set "Sessions for Robert J" from which this video is taken. Amazingly, I believe there is no audio recording available of this song performed by Mr Clapton. This is my favourite Robert Jonhson cover by Clapton. IT IS GOOD!!!
It's a mid 50s Byrdland, one of the really early ones with Alinco Vs, pre PAF humbuckers....very very rare!
Clapton is still God...
awesome
On the DVD it comes a few minutes before this, as they warm up for this one! Cheers
@reanemusic It's a Gibson Gretsch. Not quite sure what model but it looks like a Chet Atkin's hollow body one.
Thanx
white room
Billy’s playing on this is better than the version Eric put on the album. Amazing.
2 August 2023
this version is fuckin' terrific
Now I'm fiending for candy... red, hot cinnamon-flavoured Hot Tamales, that is!
@torivas This album is Me and Mr. Johson...
Eric playing the songs of one and only Robert Johson
YES
I can hear the words in this one.
chili peppers thought they had this until Clapton stepped up.
R.h.c.p. Rulez!!!.
I eat some tamales in some sundays.
Tamal with bread and coffee hmmm!!! yummy yummy!!!!
❤🔝❤
@torivas this is from the sessions for robert j cd + dvd. the dvd bonus is great with live sessions like this plus clapton talking about robert johnson.
@bkmege you are correct it is a Gibson Byrdland
@LINKMASTERX It's on itunes from the album 'Me and Mr. Johnson'. You can buy it as a single track off there for $1.29. He also plays it on the Crossroads 2004 album if you can find that.

STEVE GADDS THE DRUMMER, HE'S FUCKING AWESOME!!!!
@torivas this is from a DVD called 'Sessions for Robert J'
It's all video of clapton and his band in the studio playing RJ music, along with Clapton in some old hotels recording, and some good interviews. VERY GOOD. I reccommend it.
That guitar player is Doyle Bramhall II from Austin, TX, -- Lefty upsidedown
Clapton, great guitar player, vocalist and all around great musician....I hate talneted people.
Billy!!!
genial!!!!!!
Steve Gadd--he's a gas!
great song!
@torivas PS2: On this DVD you can see Billy Preston, a few months before he's gonnaway from us....
Johnson ---> Clapton ----> Red Hot Chili Peppers - Three miracles in one song...
I'm eating a tamale right now
@9drew1 No, it isn't, but it's quiet similar to it. The slide guitar is acoustic on CD and the organ is replaced by a harp.
@torivas ME & MR. JOHNSON....ITS BEEN OUT A FEW YEARS
@bkmege i think it's a Gibson L-5 from the 70s or something . I could be wrong though.
@lawchihei Yes, his name is Doyle Bramhall II.
@iamthesenate08 Some people will never like covers. I personally think Clapton did a brilliant job with this song.
@mxb95
The guitar is a Gibson Byrdland.
@torivas "sessions for robert J"
missing alot if you do not see the whole DVD
@Harlehz i think its just a gibson but i don't know which one... i'm sure it's not a gretsch, gretsch belongs to Fender so they won't create a guitar with gibson...
strange but cool guitar
@DarioCoates yeah that`s him
i like the pepper version
man, I love youtube
@korzofrank Thank you.
1:45 DOYLE!!
@lasallehs yes it is:)
me and mr johnson
Its funny to hear this after the red hot chili peppers version :)
see you in Poland - 07.06.2013
@torivas EC album there red hot "me and mr johnson
Yes, that's Billy Preston on the organ, per the liner notes.
nice sóng..wonder about the feeling
And Billy is the one who plays the piano!
@wootoodoo It looks like a Gibson L-5 rather than an ES-175.
@torivas its a track off "me and mr. johnson"
I was waiting for him to yell "ERIC" and start soloing....
@torivas its "Sessions for Robert Johnson" ;)
Yup it's a Byrdland from the 50s, you can tell by the Alnico Vs
@1Woutervdb1 yes ;)
this is so bad ass I wanna quit.
looks like a birdland. mabe the one he played in the bangledesh concert...
@torivas Session for Robert J. Jhonson I recon! Not sure though!
