arikado> Apparemment c´est une reprise de J.J Cale qui l´a rendue célèbre ( enfin plus qu´il ne l´était déjà).

Sinon, Clapton est le seul artiste a être rentré trois fois dans le Rock & Roll Hall of Fame pour ses trois carrières : Yardbirds, Cream et quand il était tout seul.

( Knopfler est pas dedans)

Il était avec Mark Knopfler au Knebowth... ( je sais pas comment sa s´écrit)

Et moi je sais pas ce que c´est

tu reponds ?

Il a dû partir...

You get a shiver in the dark
It´s raining in the park but meantime
South of the river you stop and you hold everything
A band is blowing Dixie double four time
You feel alright when you hear that music ring
You step inside but you don´t see too many faces
Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down
Too much competition too many other places
But not too many horns can make that sound
Way on downsouth way on downsouth London town

You check out Guitar George he knows all the chords
Mind he´s strictly rhythm he doesn´t want to make it cry or sing
And an old guitar is all he can afford
When he gets up under the lights to play his thing

And Harry doesn´t mind if he doesn´t make the scene
He´s got a daytime job he´s doing alright
He can play honky tonk just like anything
Saving it up for Friday night
With the Sultans with the Sultans of Swing

And a crowd of young boys they´re fooling around in the corner
Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles
They don´t give a damn about any trumpet playing band
It ain´t what they call rock and roll
And the Sultans played Creole

And then the man he steps right up to the microphone
And says at last just as the time bell rings
´Thank you goodnight now it´s time to go home´
and he makes it fast with one more thing
´We are the Sultans of Swing´

A long time ago came a man on a track
Walking thirty miles with a sack on his back
And he put down his load where he thought it was the best
He made a home in the wilderness
he built a cabin and a winter store
And he ploughed up the ground by the cold lake shore
And the other travellers came riding down the track
And they never went further and they never went back
Then came the churches then came the schools
Then came the lawyers and the came the rules
The came the trains and the trucks with their loads
And the dirty old track was the telegraph road
Then came the mines - then came the ore
Then there was the hard times then there was a war
Telegraph sang a song about the world outside
Telegraph road got so deep and so wide
Like a rolling river...

And my radio says tonight it´s gonna freeze
People driving home from the factories
There´s six lanes of traffic
Three lanes moving slow...

I used to like to go to work but they shut it down
I´ve got a right to go to work but there´s no work here to be found
Yes and they say we´re gonna have to pay what´s owed
We´re gonna have to reap from some seed that´s been sowed
And the birds up on the wires and the telegraph poles
They can always fly away from this rain and this cold
You can hear them singing out their telegraph code
All the way down the telegraph road

You know I´d sooner forget but I remember those nights
When life was just a bet on a race between the lights
You had your head on my shoulder you had your hand in my hair
Now you act a little colder like you don´t seem to care...
But believe in me baby and I´ll take you away
From out of this darkness and into the day
From these rivers of headlights these rivers of rain
From the anger that lives on the streets with these names
´cos I´ve run every red light on memory lane
I´ve seen desperation explode into flames
And I don´t wanna see it again...

From all of these signs saying sorry but we´re closed
All the way down the telegraph road

pour Eric

. ............................et Mark,quand meme!

2 artistes !

Plus que ca...peut etre pas des dieux,mais plus que des hommes,ca c´est sur

Oui, j´addors Layla et Cocaine !

Les plus connues...Les plus rock aussi
Mais la majorité de son oeuvre c´est du rythm´n´blues de toute beauté...

Pour deux grands hommes selon moi

Vous connaissez le Live After Midnight ?

Un live formidable, où Clapton joue ses grand classique accompagné par Knopfler.

Regardez-moi ça : concert de charité avec Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, Phil Collins et Sting

J'aime pas Clapton, sauf sur Layla.

Layla vite fait ouais...

mais c'est surtout sa période avec Cream ou encore Derek and the dominos (Duane Allman + Clapton ) qui est a retenir

C'est toute la période 65/70 qui est à retenir, apres les années 70 il etait pas au top mais y a quelques bon albums, ensuite viennent les horribles années 80:l'alcool, phil collins (les deux pires albums de clapton: behind the sun et august...).
Et enfin la résurection en 89 jusqu'a maintenant.
