Was still a little kid so didn't know who Eric Clapton was then but I remember the Michelob commercial. My favorite version of this song once my oldes brother introduced me to Eric Clapton and Bob Segar, and Hall and Oates and Phil Collins and Genesis. Great days!
Still remember seeing this the first time.. Michelob commercial, late 80's, whatever it was. I thought this was the coolest thing I ever seen. The 80's were a great time to grow up...
I've been reading his autobiography, It's fantastic.I found out about this rendition of After midnight from his autobiography and my life is richer for it. I'm so happy I found it.
Some ppl hear this song & think only about the Michelob commercial that was attached to it back in '87. When I hear this song, I think about how much of a Cool, Smooth, Badass jam it is.
Christopher Walker Yes sir, I just wanted to make sure homage was paid to the original creator of this song. But this rendition by Eric Clapton is mighty fine though.
José Trepat (Disc jockey) Para mi, la mejor versión de Clapton, un tema que se bailaba todas las noches en "SILVY'S" Discotheque de Castelldefels, "UROGALLO" de Viella y "ERA TIURNA" de Les (Valle de Arán) 1974-1980.
This version got so much flack in the late 80's when it came out because it was attached to a Budweiser commercial -- no one seemed to actually pay attention to how great a performance it was. Clapton had admittedly made some dreary synthesizer-heavy pop in the mid 80's, and this was a triumphant return to form. Even better than the 70's version, in my opinion.
Jolly4jc The reason it received some "flack" was partly due to that it was indeed part of a Michelob commercial. But EC had just entered rehab for drug and alcohol addiction. The beer ad got maybe a few plays and then was pulled. I hadn't seen or heard this version till today...glad to have found it!
For some reason I always feel like drinking a beer whenever I hear this song. Just kidding. I play a lot of music at work and even the young people come up to see who is playing.

One of the most bad-ass tracks you're ever going to hear.
It's getting truer every day
At the midnight we're going to live all hang out I'm waiting for you I can't wait no more
Couldn’t agree more!! This slowed down version is by far the better rendition of the song.
I believe that somewhere in the world, there are people who feel the same emotions that I feel when I listen to masterpieces like this song.
You have to know that you`re never alone
I guess you go from clip to clip and post the same thing.
Amen!
My favorite version of this song. Love the guitar riffs and Clapton's rough voice. It's a classic track
I like this version better as well. It actually sounds like a song you would want to hear at 11:55.
That is way better than the fast version.
@@legendaryTMNICO if you like this one, have a look at JJ Cale doing it live with EC as his 'sideman'...

👍💕
After all these years..... Still the best version of this song.
Noooooo.....love his backup singers on the earlier version.

I totally agree
I agree
Yep. Saw him four times. And this is the best.
I was 18 in ‘87 when Michelob unleashed this commercial. What a time...
I am wishing so hard for a time machine to take us back to the '80s. What a fantastic time.
I was close
Yes, it was really cool and original. Great commercial.
I was 21. Good times. Miss the 1980's big time !

One of the funkiest blue eyed blues recordings I've ever heard
Best version of this song by far..in my opinion...LOVE IT!!
The remake from the '80's is the best. His best work.
I've been reading his autobiography, It's fantastic.I found out about this rendition of After midnight from his autobiography and my life is richer for it. I'm so happy I found it.
Best version ever..
Clapton iat his best with that sweet sound he makes with his Stratocaster...
Absolutely - best version! 🤟🎸👍
My gosh his guitar tone is awsome
He is a great guitarist
Love this version! He’s the man !
Best version hands down
Been listening to Clapton since 1975 Saw him in 1980 still listening in 2021
What a ride - thanks Eric
He's a Guitar God
I could hear this on repeat for days!
We all need to thank JJ Cale for writing this and countless other songs that went on to become mega hits....
Absolutely. This kicks ass.
exactly. And I like the JJ Cale versions better, what an artist
My favorite version.
best version ever!!!
best version by far...
Totally true.
LOVE THIS VERSION SO MUCH ! SUPERIOR TO THE OLD VERSION FROM 1970!
He improved with age..
very seldom do you hear a remake and it's better but when he re did this song to me it's so smooth and slick.
The best version of this song, love it ^^
I loved this version. It was my favourite commercial of the late 80's
Oh yeah hands down this is the best version no doubt about it I blast this version until the speaker's blow up LOL
This version kicks ASS!!! I like this one more than the fast paced one from 1970.
Me too
I do this slightly faster but I agree
I want to buy it on iTunes but can’t find this version. What album is it on? I can’t find it.
Crossroads 1988 box set.
Clapton just kicks ass anyway
This version was created for a Michelob commercial (mid-1980s), which were awesome and brilliant.
Love all the versions - but THIS is my favorite
2021 & Still A Bad Ass Song!
2023 and still is
This is my favorite Clapton clip. It’s like hard rock.
Ohh what a groove especially for some moody nights
Clapton : by definition Rock n roll class !
I remember watching this song on mcm channel during 90s. One of Clapton's best tunes!
I've always love this rendition.
Love this version....
"Slowhand" a national treasure...
This version man, king of cool
What a fookin tune!
The Year - THIS Version - played by Clapton, came up - is a very long time ago . . since then - I was a FAN ! ! ! :)))
Absolutely love this version...my all time favorite artist... Eric Clapton has a way with guitar 🌼💕
The same song, sung by JJ Cale and Eric Clapton, with different slants and nuances. Genius at its best.
Every time that I listen this song, I repeat it 2 or 3 times again!!!
Love this version best
THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST OF ERIC ( I ALSO PLAY GUITAR AN WRITE SONGS
Some ppl hear this song & think only about the Michelob commercial that was attached to it back in '87. When I hear this song, I think about how much of a Cool, Smooth, Badass jam it is.
Best dam version
KoolCat ! ~~Yea Eric did a hella job making it his own!, but this is JJ Cale’s song and blues
KoolCat ! RAINMAN! When they’re stuck in the hotel because Raymond won’t go outside in the rain! Lol
The sooo under rated Nathan East....
Absolutely
Love the blues...so I sure love Clapton!!!!!
Newmark on drums East on bass...this is EC doing his thing in 88.
This kicks so much ass! So much better than the 1970 version. One of Clapton's best songs ever (in my opinion).
+Christopher Walker too bad it's not a clapton song lol
It was originally by JJ Cale wasn't it?
Christopher Walker
Yes sir, I just wanted to make sure homage was paid to the original creator of this song. But this rendition by Eric Clapton is mighty fine though.
+Christopher Walker Yes this version is much better than the original.
This is classic, slow jamming, COOL rock 'n' roll.
Christopher Walker This is JJ Cale song. Nice try, Clapton though. lol
“Slow Hand” at his finest!!
Clapton is the master! master of R&B rock!☝☝👍💙💙
Oh its so good clapton Nathan East just jammin
We all know Eric is awesome with the guitar.
Who plays drums? The drums and guitar are perfect in this masterpiece.
Best version by far Eric is super talented 🎉 he could sing about anything and make it sound great 🎉
Still goes directly to my head and shoots to the toes. Crazy sexy - incredible.
Best version of this tune
Still have not fallen out of love with the fast version but this is so darn good. The Michelob ad didn't do it justice
eccellente❤
He'd done a Album dedicated to His Late Friend JJ Cale Last Year! And Did a Video "They Call Me the Breeze" with Cale's voice at its beginning!

Was it a Michelob commercial? Sorry, my mistake!

The beer ad got maybe a few plays and then was pulled. I hadn't seen or heard this version till today...glad to have found it!
exactly. it just feels wrong to play a song and use it to sell something that nearly killed you. i'm still against corporate sponsorship in music.
no offense but his stuff from the 70s really rocked and we enjoyed this man's music
one of the best left hands ever
Very cool!!
Yes better than the fast version, shows the true talent .
HELL yes
I'm an Eric Clapton Fan! Jonny Weiss "Love" 🎶
❤❤❤❤🎼🎶🎸🎶🎼🥁 qu'elle merveille, un régal des oreilles.❤❤❤❤🌹❤🌹❤🌹❤🌹❤🌹❤🌹❤🌹❤🌹

I remember hearing this song in a Michelob commercial in the 80s.
For some reason I always feel like drinking a beer whenever I hear this song.
Just kidding. I play a lot of music at work and even the young people come up to see who is playing.
