The James Taylor version was so good that I thought it couldn't get any better until now. Funny thing is that I always liked Eric Clapton but wasn't the biggest fan. This song though,...WOW. This is so much more soulful. The absolute best version! The Lead guitar licks are in the best taste. Great stuff!

Hope someone has a clearer, higher definition version of this exception performance in stereo uploaded! It's an astounding version of a JT classic, different, rawer, slow rock rendition the way only Eric Clapton can..... just love it..... as much as I love JT's. His guitar play here is ..... OMG...... sinuous, alluring, tempting, sexy..... and just downright soulful, as was his singing.... I'm in love and can't stop listening. This song for me from Clapton will always be etched as a bitter-sweet moment at present, in my life.

I saw Eric in the Albert Hall in early Feb 2001. The Impressions performed support and backing vocal duties, Andy Fairweather-Low, drummer Steve Gadd, bassist Nathan East and keyboardist Billy Preston - from the Beatles Get Back sessions. Truly amazing venue to see them all. I remember being particularly surprised by Eric's vocal command, no doubt informed by the quality of the renowned backing group on display here. They closed with a version of Over the Rainbow. Magic!

Do me wrong, do me right, do me right baby. Tell me lies but hold, hold me tight. Save your goodbyes till the morning light, But don't let me be lonely tonight. Say goodbye, woman say hello, say hello. It's sure enough good to see you, but it's time to go, And don't say yes, but please don't say no. I don't want to be lonely tonight. Go away then, damn you, go on and do as you please, do as youplease, But you ain't going to see me getting down on my knees, Cause I'm undecided and your heart's been divided. You've been turning my world upside down. Do me wrong, do me right, do me right baby. Go on and tell me lies but hold, hold me tight. And save your goodbyes till the morning light, But don't let me be lonely tonight. Save your goodbyes till the morning light, But don't let me be lonely tonight. 'Cause I don't want to be lonely tonight. I don't want to be lonely. Don't do it, don't do it, don't do it, don't do it.

True, of course Eric Clapton is great, c'mon, I know...but no one does these songs like the one and only JT..c'mon, the original ones are soooooooooooo great, that it is a tribute that Eric would pay respects to JT, as JT truly admires Eric. I did not get goose bumps on this one, but always do with James, though Wonderful Tonight gives me the bumps-that is how I rate a love song......

This was always the only JT tune I EVER liked...and not until I'd heard Rosemary Clooney do it on the "Atlantic Jazz" boxed set did I like it...but this performance is a revelation. And not because of his guitar-playing: Hey Clapton is Clapton, you expect the tone to sing, you expect the blues licks to be as good as five notes can be...it's his singing. I always thought he was a good singer... now I'll have to admit, at least once, he was GREAT. Michaels Bolton and MacDonald, slash wrists NOW.
