HIDEAWAY (1966) by John Mayall's Bluesbreakers- featuring Eric Clapton

Too bad EC stopped playing like this after Layla.

It is not that good.

I just hate Eric Clapton why he changed this guitar!!the sound is simply explosive. Amazing. I can't describe what i feel everytime ihear this tune.😊😊😊

CLAPTON was the first and foremost everyone sought to unseat- and no one came close, not Hendrix, Beck or SRV (who I love). CLAPTON IS THE HANDS DOWN BEST EVER despite Patti...

Wow, I’ve never heard a Les Paul sound so fiery and fantastic. Just amazing

I think John Mayall is the most amazing person in the world. Look who he has given us.

Clapton helped make this great Freddie King tune famous.

I miss epic sideburns.

I saw an interview with Stevie Ray Vaughan in which he cited this version of Hideaway for showing him that you could make the blues your own and didn't have to try to copy your heroes and inspirations exactly. He demonstrated a couple of key differences in the way Freddie King and Eric Clapton played the intro to show what he meant, gave me a whole new respect for what Clapton did on this album. In my opinion only Peter Green had as much credibility as a serious blues guitarist among the young English players back then.

A freddie king original...i think clapton and freddie bumped shoulderz here and there back in the 70s....damn near every other song freddie put out, was a fuckin hit. I honestly think clapton can do way more on guitar, but he just does what he does

This is the good stuff, before he went commercial.

Clapton near his peak sound - to me he would achieve that status when he played with Cream. Say what you will, but the tone, power and overall aspect of his playing was never the same when he switched to Fender guitars.

Dude literally this is my dad fav song like when ever it pops up I raises up the volume❤❤❤❤❤

Eric Clapton. Famous for his racist rant. Yawn.

He copied Freddie (or Freddy) just exactly right. A labour of love and it shows.

Everyone has to remember he did this in 1966! There was no guitar sound or guitar playing like this anywhere on record. This was a time of Herman's Hermits for god's sake!

Yo i love the pictures with Clapton and the les Paul dope asf

Amazing blues/rock guitar playing, especially for 1966. It still holds up today in my opinion as one of the best ever guitar instrumentals.

Clapton is Good.

Just a quick note: Hideaway was also an inspiration to many of us young bassists at the time. McVie kicks serious and total ass.

I always use this song to demonstrate how good a guitarists Eric is to those younger kids who doubt

Best Version untill Peter Greene did it then you had a much polished version

Clapton is superb

Marco una época

Great song for a young guitarist to learn and master.

One of the best collaborations ....ever !!

great bass playing

That Why?❤Eric Clapton is GOD

I have the original LP. It's scratched to f*ck now and gathering dust in my attic but it had such a huge effect on me. .

I have never been a huge Clapton fan as a guitar player, but this is really nice.

I may be old fashioned but I try to model my tone to this and some of his Cream stuff

Love the Music ♥️🎸♥️🎸♥️🌟♥️🌟♥️🌟♥️🌟♥️🌟♥️🌟♥️🌟♥️🌟♥️🌟♥️🌟

Jesus. 1965. The last time that Eric Clapton didn't suck. And the first time he really was "God" of the Les Paul and Marshall.

Eh.

This is not only a great song but a very well done video too, thanks.

He should have done a solo.

First time that I heard this tune I thought it was Alvin Lee from Ten Years After !!!!

Freddie King

what happened to EC, after 1966? must've been deep into heroin. :(

👍👍🌷🌹

Yep best music ever. But listen to Page & Clapton's work in these songs "Chocker","Snake drive" etc, Guitar tone and choice of notes blows you away.

Clean as a whistle.

1966, when you could buy a 59 LP for $200.!!
I wish someone would whisper in Eric's ear pick up a Les Paul again you fool!

The first time ever that a Gibson Les Paul guitar had been heard with a Marshall Amplifier, and, at Clapton's insistence (backed up by producer Mike Vernon), engineer Gus Dudgeon let Clapton crank up the Marshall to maximum volume. An immortal performance that still sounds good today.. Even future renowned axemen such as Ritchie Blackmore and Robert Fripp are known to have listened to this Bluebreakers album. As Bluesbreakers drummer Hughie Flint has said, that though the group was better live, that this album has become "A cultish benchmark for the British blues". I would add that it deserves that status.

Greatest guitar tone ever recorded.

And then came stevie🤯
