00:00:06,299 --> 00:00:09,240 um I don't know this is Patty Boyd a 4 00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,120 model pictured here in 1964 a married to 5 00:00:12,120 --> 00:00:14,580 George Harrison this is Eric Clapton he 6 00:00:14,580 --> 00:00:16,740 was George Harrison's best friend how 7 00:00:16,740 --> 00:00:19,580 did I get to meet him no no no no 8 00:00:19,580 --> 00:00:22,080 how did you just we showed the same wife 9 00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:24,300 Patty inspired some of the most powerful 10 00:00:24,300 --> 00:00:27,000 love songs ever written including Layla 11 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,099 an album written by Eric Clapton 12 00:00:29,099 --> 00:00:31,740 professing his love for Patty of course 13 00:00:31,740 --> 00:00:34,140 his best friend's wife but what happened 14 00:00:34,140 --> 00:00:36,059 that led George and Eric to write this 15 00:00:36,059 --> 00:00:38,700 amazing music for her and did it work 16 00:00:38,700 --> 00:00:41,820 for Eric well kind of 17 00:00:41,820 --> 00:00:43,680 it's a crazy story about a crazy 18 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:45,960 lifestyle that didn't end well for 19 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,320 anyone 20 00:00:49,750 --> 00:00:52,829 [Music] 21 00:00:54,539 --> 00:00:57,960 The Story begins in 1964 when Patty Boyd 22 00:00:57,960 --> 00:00:59,640 was hired to appear in the Beatles film 23 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,100 A Hard Day's Night George took an 24 00:01:02,100 --> 00:01:03,899 instant liking to her but at the time 25 00:01:03,899 --> 00:01:05,880 she was already seeing someone else Eric 26 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:07,860 Swain but after telling her friends 27 00:01:07,860 --> 00:01:09,780 about her meeting with George she 28 00:01:09,780 --> 00:01:10,979 returned to tell him that she'd broken 29 00:01:10,979 --> 00:01:12,659 up with Eric and they could go for 30 00:01:12,659 --> 00:01:14,820 dinner they got married two years later 31 00:01:14,820 --> 00:01:17,760 in 1966 and after the Beatles stopped 32 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:19,560 touring in the same year they managed to 33 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:20,939 find a lifestyle that actually suited 34 00:01:20,939 --> 00:01:22,799 them quite well they both had an 35 00:01:22,799 --> 00:01:24,600 interest in spirituality and 36 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,060 vegetarianism and for a while it looked 37 00:01:27,060 --> 00:01:28,320 as though it would be a happy marriage 38 00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:30,960 that would last a long time despite the 39 00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:32,759 intense lifestyle that came with being a 40 00:01:32,759 --> 00:01:34,979 beetle George's first meeting with Eric 41 00:01:34,979 --> 00:01:38,159 Clapton was also in 1964 when The 42 00:01:38,159 --> 00:01:40,560 Yardbirds are expand at the time was 43 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,479 invited to support the Beatles at a gig 44 00:01:42,479 --> 00:01:43,799 in London 45 00:01:43,799 --> 00:01:45,780 all four of the Beatles were there but 46 00:01:45,780 --> 00:01:47,220 it was George and Eric that headed off 47 00:01:47,220 --> 00:01:49,200 straight away mostly because of their 48 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,000 Mutual admiration and love of the guitar 49 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,520 but at this time the Beatles were stars 50 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,799 unlike Eric and so it would take a while 51 00:01:55,799 --> 00:01:58,380 until they really became close Eric saw 52 00:01:58,380 --> 00:02:01,619 himself less as a pop star and more as a 53 00:02:01,619 --> 00:02:03,960 serious Blues musician whenever pop 54 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,119 success came his way he tended to shy 55 00:02:06,119 --> 00:02:08,099 away from it maybe even look down on it 56 00:02:08,099 --> 00:02:10,380 instead he was drawn more towards 57 00:02:10,380 --> 00:02:13,200 serious guitar playing and blues music I 58 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:14,940 was by that by the time they came around 59 00:02:14,940 --> 00:02:17,940 I was already deeply ensconced in in 60 00:02:17,940 --> 00:02:21,000 hardcore blues and I'm becoming a purist 61 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,980 very fast George being part of the 62 00:02:22,980 --> 00:02:25,319 Beatles was incredibly famous but he had 63 00:02:25,319 --> 00:02:26,940 this Longing To Be A respected guitar 64 00:02:26,940 --> 00:02:29,340 player something more like Eric 65 00:02:29,340 --> 00:02:31,500 their friendship continued to grow and 66 00:02:31,500 --> 00:02:33,360 at one point George invited Eric over to 67 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,340 Abbey Road Studios to play on one of the 68 00:02:35,340 --> 00:02:37,440 Beatles songs While My Guitar Gently 69 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,959 Weeps this was quite surprising because 70 00:02:39,959 --> 00:02:41,400 not many people played on Beatles 71 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,860 records especially guitar because George 72 00:02:43,860 --> 00:02:46,440 was the Beatles guitarist but it seemed 73 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:47,640 as though George was starting to 74 00:02:47,640 --> 00:02:49,140 distance himself away from the Beatles 75 00:02:49,140 --> 00:02:51,540 and more towards the guitar world that 76 00:02:51,540 --> 00:02:53,940 Eric was associated with he was also 77 00:02:53,940 --> 00:02:55,680 proving his chops as a songwriter 78 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,959 writing songs such as Here Comes the Sun 79 00:02:57,959 --> 00:03:00,120 and something which was written for his 80 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,700 wife Patty Frank Sinatra called this the 81 00:03:02,700 --> 00:03:05,340 greatest love song ever written it's one 82 00:03:05,340 --> 00:03:07,200 of the best love songs I believe to be 83 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,360 written in 50 or 100 years and it never 84 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,640 says I love you in the song but it 85 00:03:11,640 --> 00:03:13,440 really is one of the finest 86 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,800 the 1960s was a busy period for Eric but 87 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,840 not in the same way as it was for George 88 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,459 the 60s for George was of course 89 00:03:20,459 --> 00:03:22,260 dominated by The Beatles which more or 90 00:03:22,260 --> 00:03:24,120 less kept him on a steady path 91 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:25,800 but for Eric things are very different 92 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,140 Eric joined the Yard Birds a rhythm and 93 00:03:28,140 --> 00:03:30,840 blues band in 1963 and he stayed with 94 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,420 them for two years until 1965. he 95 00:03:33,420 --> 00:03:34,920 briefly played with John male on the 96 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,140 Blues Breakers before forming cream in 97 00:03:37,140 --> 00:03:40,680 1966 with Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce 98 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,599 it was with cream that he found the most 99 00:03:42,599 --> 00:03:44,879 mainstream success they stayed together 100 00:03:44,879 --> 00:03:48,420 until 1968 and then in 1969 he formed 101 00:03:48,420 --> 00:03:50,280 Blind Faith where they recorded just one 102 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:51,239 album 103 00:03:51,239 --> 00:03:53,220 by the end of the Decades both George 104 00:03:53,220 --> 00:03:54,959 and Eric found themselves in unique 105 00:03:54,959 --> 00:03:56,700 positions looking for something else out 106 00:03:56,700 --> 00:03:59,220 of life George wanted to further explore 107 00:03:59,220 --> 00:04:01,680 his interest in spirituality and this 108 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,420 led him to become more distant and 109 00:04:03,420 --> 00:04:06,360 isolated from his wife Patty in fact his 110 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:07,620 interest was so strong that after 111 00:04:07,620 --> 00:04:09,780 returning from a trip to India he wanted 112 00:04:09,780 --> 00:04:11,760 to be like the god Krishna always 113 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,280 surrounded by young women Eric however 114 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,560 was looking to settle down somewhere in 115 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,600 contrast to his ever-changing and hectic 116 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,180 lifestyle of the 60s and so he found 117 00:04:21,180 --> 00:04:23,880 this place in Surrey hertzwood Edge 118 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:25,800 it was a peaceful and solitary place 119 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,620 where he'd live for many years to come 120 00:04:27,620 --> 00:04:30,180 musically this was a very important time 121 00:04:30,180 --> 00:04:32,699 for Eric he discovered the music of JJ 122 00:04:32,699 --> 00:04:34,500 Cale who become a major influence 123 00:04:34,500 --> 00:04:36,419 throughout his career and he formed the 124 00:04:36,419 --> 00:04:38,520 band Derek and the Dominos which he'd 125 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:39,960 later called the greatest Rhythm Section 126 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,780 he'd ever play with he also began seeing 127 00:04:42,780 --> 00:04:44,580 a lot more of George and his wife Patty 128 00:04:44,580 --> 00:04:46,500 as they lived only a 30-minute drive 129 00:04:46,500 --> 00:04:48,900 away so they come over they write songs 130 00:04:48,900 --> 00:04:51,120 and they'd have dinner it was clear that 131 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,520 Eric had taken a liking to Patty and 132 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,020 with George becoming more distant in 133 00:04:55,020 --> 00:04:56,759 their marriage it was difficult for 134 00:04:56,759 --> 00:04:59,650 Patty to resist this attention in 135 00:04:59,650 --> 00:05:01,400 [Music] 136 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,940 Bell Bottom Blues 137 00:05:04,940 --> 00:05:08,720 you made me cry 138 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,419 I Don't Wanna Lose throughout 1970 they 139 00:05:12,419 --> 00:05:13,740 occasionally began seeing each other 140 00:05:13,740 --> 00:05:16,139 more often secret meetings would take 141 00:05:16,139 --> 00:05:18,419 place in London or in Guildford close to 142 00:05:18,419 --> 00:05:20,040 where they lived and it was at one of 143 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:21,840 these meetings where Eric played a 144 00:05:21,840 --> 00:05:23,699 record for Patty of a song he just 145 00:05:23,699 --> 00:05:27,120 recorded the song was Layla 146 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:28,620 she described it as one of the most 147 00:05:28,620 --> 00:05:31,139 powerful songs she's ever heard it was 148 00:05:31,139 --> 00:05:32,759 about a young man that falls hopelessly 149 00:05:32,759 --> 00:05:34,440 in love with a woman but she's 150 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,900 unavailable this of course was how Eric 151 00:05:36,900 --> 00:05:39,720 felt about Patty I thought that this is 152 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:40,680 such a 153 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,139 a public Declaration of his feelings for 154 00:05:43,139 --> 00:05:45,780 me and I wasn't really ready for it in 155 00:05:45,780 --> 00:05:47,340 fact I wasn't ready at all for it 156 00:05:47,340 --> 00:05:49,380 because I still hadn't made up my mind 157 00:05:49,380 --> 00:05:51,539 whether George and I could 158 00:05:51,539 --> 00:05:54,000 get back on track but after hearing the 159 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,340 song and knowing how Eric felt it made 160 00:05:56,340 --> 00:05:58,440 it difficult to resist later that 161 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,360 evening Patty was at a party at North 162 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,880 London where Eric was also attending 163 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:04,440 George didn't want to go so he wasn't 164 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,720 there but he did turn up later and when 165 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,940 he arrived he saw Eric and Patty talking 166 00:06:08,940 --> 00:06:10,199 in the garden 167 00:06:10,199 --> 00:06:12,300 he went over and asked what's going on 168 00:06:12,300 --> 00:06:15,120 to which Eric applied I'm in love with 169 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,580 your wife I remember being out in the 170 00:06:17,580 --> 00:06:19,560 garden with Eric at one point and then 171 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,240 George appeared from nowhere and said 172 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,280 very what's he doing what's happening 173 00:06:23,280 --> 00:06:25,620 and then that's when Eric said I'm in 174 00:06:25,620 --> 00:06:27,300 love with your wife 175 00:06:27,300 --> 00:06:29,880 now it's that moment like ah awful I 176 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,220 just wanted the Earth to swallow me up 177 00:06:32,220 --> 00:06:35,100 George was Furious and asked Patty are 178 00:06:35,100 --> 00:06:36,240 you going with Eric or are you coming 179 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:37,560 home with me 180 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,600 Patty left the party and went home with 181 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,940 George but this made George even more 182 00:06:41,940 --> 00:06:44,580 distant the next time she met Eric he 183 00:06:44,580 --> 00:06:46,919 offered a similar ultimatum but despite 184 00:06:46,919 --> 00:06:48,900 her feelings about the music she again 185 00:06:48,900 --> 00:06:50,940 declined and Eric went into a long 186 00:06:50,940 --> 00:06:53,160 period of isolation they didn't see each 187 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,250 other again for three years 188 00:06:55,250 --> 00:06:57,070 [Music] 189 00:06:57,070 --> 00:06:58,240 [Applause] 190 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:10,259 [Music] 191 00:07:10,259 --> 00:07:12,900 after failing to win her over Eric went 192 00:07:12,900 --> 00:07:15,419 into a self-imposed Exile Derek and the 193 00:07:15,419 --> 00:07:17,340 dominoes broke up he retired from 194 00:07:17,340 --> 00:07:19,259 touring and just went into isolation 195 00:07:19,259 --> 00:07:21,900 inside his hurtwood home he didn't leave 196 00:07:21,900 --> 00:07:23,400 the house he didn't pick up the phone 197 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,400 instead he just descended into Oblivion 198 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,039 and other than a few compilations and 199 00:07:29,039 --> 00:07:31,319 live albums he didn't release any new 200 00:07:31,319 --> 00:07:34,759 music until 1974's 461 Ocean Boulevard 201 00:07:34,759 --> 00:07:37,080 there were a small number of live 202 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,419 appearances such as at George Harrison's 203 00:07:39,419 --> 00:07:42,419 concert for Bangladesh in 1971 but he 204 00:07:42,419 --> 00:07:44,759 actually passed out on stage then there 205 00:07:44,759 --> 00:07:46,259 was the rainbow concert which was 206 00:07:46,259 --> 00:07:49,380 organized by his friends in 1973 in an 207 00:07:49,380 --> 00:07:51,720 attempt to get him clean and finally by 208 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,780 1974 he was able to get clean at least 209 00:07:54,780 --> 00:07:56,759 off the stronger stuff but it was at 210 00:07:56,759 --> 00:07:58,919 this time that his drinking became a lot 211 00:07:58,919 --> 00:08:01,620 heavier for George and Patty the 70s 212 00:08:01,620 --> 00:08:03,599 weren't much better either musically 213 00:08:03,599 --> 00:08:05,819 things were going well for George in 214 00:08:05,819 --> 00:08:07,979 1970 he released his first solo album 215 00:08:07,979 --> 00:08:09,900 All Things Must Pass 216 00:08:09,900 --> 00:08:11,639 the following year he organized the 217 00:08:11,639 --> 00:08:13,259 concert for Bangladesh which as we know 218 00:08:13,259 --> 00:08:16,199 Eric just about took part in and in 1973 219 00:08:16,199 --> 00:08:18,360 he had another number one album living 220 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,639 in the material world but for their 221 00:08:20,639 --> 00:08:22,560 marriage it wasn't so good they'd 222 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,419 already began to grow apart and George 223 00:08:24,419 --> 00:08:26,280 was getting even further involved in 224 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,199 meditation and was having numerous 225 00:08:28,199 --> 00:08:30,419 Affairs including with Ringo Starr's 226 00:08:30,419 --> 00:08:32,820 wife Maureen Eric and Patty had already 227 00:08:32,820 --> 00:08:35,459 started speaking again and once again he 228 00:08:35,459 --> 00:08:38,099 professed his love for her but this time 229 00:08:38,099 --> 00:08:39,599 things were different the marriage was 230 00:08:39,599 --> 00:08:41,700 going from bad to worse and she clearly 231 00:08:41,700 --> 00:08:43,979 wasn't happy married to George 232 00:08:43,979 --> 00:08:46,620 Eric went out on tour in the U.S and 233 00:08:46,620 --> 00:08:50,320 this time she decided to go with him 234 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:51,860 [Applause] 235 00:08:51,860 --> 00:08:58,100 [Music] 236 00:08:58,100 --> 00:09:01,040 [Applause] 237 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,019 but this wasn't an easy time not by any 238 00:09:04,019 --> 00:09:07,140 means she felt lost and confused and 239 00:09:07,140 --> 00:09:08,820 instead of feeling free and independent 240 00:09:08,820 --> 00:09:10,500 she just became more attached to Eric 241 00:09:10,500 --> 00:09:13,380 and his touring lifestyle this of course 242 00:09:13,380 --> 00:09:15,600 meant lots of drinking The Beatles 243 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,720 hadn't toured since 1966 and Patty 244 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,339 hadn't joined them before that anyway so 245 00:09:20,339 --> 00:09:22,080 this was her first experience on tour 246 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,600 and she didn't know what to expect 247 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,000 this being Eric Clapton in the mid 70s 248 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,279 it was certainly intense 249 00:09:29,279 --> 00:09:31,500 Eric will be partying all day and all 250 00:09:31,500 --> 00:09:33,420 through the night and sometimes you play 251 00:09:33,420 --> 00:09:35,880 a show just lying on his back 252 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,279 and for Patty well she assumed this was 253 00:09:38,279 --> 00:09:39,839 the touring lifestyle and she wanted to 254 00:09:39,839 --> 00:09:42,060 be part of it but Eric was at one of his 255 00:09:42,060 --> 00:09:44,519 lowest points and sadly Patty had gone 256 00:09:44,519 --> 00:09:46,940 down with him 257 00:09:46,940 --> 00:09:49,999 [Applause] 258 00:09:51,060 --> 00:09:54,180 [Music] 259 00:09:55,370 --> 00:09:55,380 [Applause] 260 00:09:55,380 --> 00:09:57,959 [Music] 261 00:09:57,959 --> 00:10:00,240 when they returned home things didn't 262 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,700 get much easier either it seems bizarre 263 00:10:02,700 --> 00:10:05,399 that Erica wanted Patty for so long at 264 00:10:05,399 --> 00:10:06,660 this point they'd known each other for 265 00:10:06,660 --> 00:10:08,880 eight or nine years and instead of 266 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:10,140 cherishing this time when they were 267 00:10:10,140 --> 00:10:12,120 finally together things were going from 268 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,940 bad to worse Eric was drinking more than 269 00:10:14,940 --> 00:10:16,860 ever and he go off on tour and he 270 00:10:16,860 --> 00:10:19,080 wouldn't let Patty come with him and so 271 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,420 yet again feeling lost and confused she 272 00:10:21,420 --> 00:10:23,220 went to spend some time in America with 273 00:10:23,220 --> 00:10:25,500 her friends and family at this point she 274 00:10:25,500 --> 00:10:27,120 didn't expect to see Eric ever again 275 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,279 until one night there was a phone call 276 00:10:29,279 --> 00:10:30,899 and it was from Eric 277 00:10:30,899 --> 00:10:32,640 and he asked her to marry him 278 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,160 reluctantly she said yes and they got 279 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:36,839 married the following Friday 280 00:10:36,839 --> 00:10:38,820 but what's even more incredible is the 281 00:10:38,820 --> 00:10:40,560 story of how this came about 282 00:10:40,560 --> 00:10:42,360 it later turns out that Erica placed the 283 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,640 bet with a friend Roger Forrester that 284 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:45,839 he couldn't get his name in The 285 00:10:45,839 --> 00:10:48,300 Following day's newspaper and so Roger 286 00:10:48,300 --> 00:10:50,040 called up the Daily Mail and told them 287 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:51,360 that Eric Clapton would be marrying 288 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,459 Patty Boyd the following day it was 289 00:10:53,459 --> 00:10:55,500 printed in the paper and everyone knew 290 00:10:55,500 --> 00:10:58,200 about the marriage apart from Patty they 291 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,180 got married almost immediately and 292 00:11:00,180 --> 00:11:01,680 instead of going on a honeymoon she 293 00:11:01,680 --> 00:11:03,420 joined Eric on tour for a few nights 294 00:11:03,420 --> 00:11:05,760 that was until Eric told her that he 295 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,620 wanted her to go home less than a week 296 00:11:07,620 --> 00:11:09,720 into their spontaneous marriage and 297 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:11,040 things were going back to how they were 298 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,440 and what's more Eric's drinking was 299 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,779 again getting worse despite all this 300 00:11:15,779 --> 00:11:17,519 there was a strong connection between 301 00:11:17,519 --> 00:11:19,140 the two of them and despite the 302 00:11:19,140 --> 00:11:20,880 infidelity the emotional connection 303 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,100 between the two of them was strong until 304 00:11:23,100 --> 00:11:25,320 one night at dinner Eric told Patty that 305 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,000 whilst he'd been in Italy he'd met 306 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,339 someone else and this time it was more 307 00:11:29,339 --> 00:11:31,320 intimate Eric and Patty had 308 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:32,820 unsuccessfully been trying for children 309 00:11:32,820 --> 00:11:35,100 for a long time and now Eric was going 310 00:11:35,100 --> 00:11:36,839 to have a child with someone else 311 00:11:36,839 --> 00:11:38,760 well that came about quite out of the 312 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,519 blue I met this young lady I'm banging 313 00:11:41,519 --> 00:11:42,720 it happened it was like the baby was 314 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,140 looking for parents too 315 00:11:45,140 --> 00:11:48,000 give it life This truly broke Patty's 316 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,320 heart and so she finally left 317 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,610 [Music] 318 00:11:53,610 --> 00:11:56,669 [Applause] 319 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:03,019 [Music] 320 00:12:03,019 --> 00:12:06,060 the story of George Patty and Eric is 321 00:12:06,060 --> 00:12:08,040 fascinating but it's even more 322 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:09,480 incredible to look at the music from 323 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,519 this time it really allows us to 324 00:12:11,519 --> 00:12:13,500 understand how they were feeling and to 325 00:12:13,500 --> 00:12:15,240 feel the intense emotion poured into 326 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,700 this music it's no wonder that something 327 00:12:17,700 --> 00:12:19,980 George's most successful song was 328 00:12:19,980 --> 00:12:22,079 written about Patty who at the time he 329 00:12:22,079 --> 00:12:23,899 was truly in love with 330 00:12:23,899 --> 00:12:26,459 I'm deeply deeply honored that George 331 00:12:26,459 --> 00:12:28,800 wrote that seriously beautiful song 332 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,980 and I think what's happened with time it 333 00:12:31,980 --> 00:12:34,500 has become more iconic because when I 334 00:12:34,500 --> 00:12:36,120 first heard it you know it's a beautiful 335 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,700 song yeah but then the more you hear it 336 00:12:38,700 --> 00:12:42,060 the more it just gets you because it's 337 00:12:42,060 --> 00:12:44,639 so beautiful and Layla was also Eric's 338 00:12:44,639 --> 00:12:46,620 most successful song and I think some of 339 00:12:46,620 --> 00:12:48,240 the best music to come out of his entire 340 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:49,980 career and then there are other songs 341 00:12:49,980 --> 00:12:52,260 too such as bellbottom blues and 342 00:12:52,260 --> 00:12:54,480 wonderful tonight and it's amazing how 343 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,820 this music is so personal and yet so 344 00:12:56,820 --> 00:12:59,459 Universal to all of us people find it 345 00:12:59,459 --> 00:13:01,139 very difficult to understand therefore 346 00:13:01,139 --> 00:13:03,540 why you and he are still mates you know 347 00:13:03,540 --> 00:13:04,800 I mean why didn't it damage your 348 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,360 relationship 349 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,760 well it did I mean it indented our 350 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,100 relationship and it has you know there's 351 00:13:11,100 --> 00:13:12,540 been a lot of times when it's gone up 352 00:13:12,540 --> 00:13:15,420 and down music has this unique power to 353 00:13:15,420 --> 00:13:17,160 communicate our feelings and connect us 354 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,440 with others and although the story of 355 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,660 the three of them is heartbreaking it 356 00:13:21,660 --> 00:13:24,120 has left us with some amazing music 357 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,480 you know I actually see we all see one 358 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,940 another still and we're like a tight 359 00:13:29,940 --> 00:13:32,279 little family really do you still love 360 00:13:32,279 --> 00:13:35,360 Patty very much 361 00:13:36,390 --> 00:13:44,150 [Music]25325
