The song Sign Language was written by Bob Dylan and appeared on the Erics album No reason to cry.(1976).
Eric Clapton is God
Im really love this song! 😀
That’s why they called him Slowhand. This is a real one.
a dylan, sr. song that clapton & dylan have done together.
The original version was off the No Reason to Cry album and has some great whammy bar and harmonics work by Robbie Robertson. I’m guessing the 12 string slide work was done by the late Richard Manuel also of The Band. Jesse Edwin Davis is also on the album.
DB3 was just a kid he’s in his early 40’s -this was the mid 70’s…….
back a long time ago I used to love going to an old buddy of mines house and we did alot of things that we shouldnt have drug wise I would always break into this song ..I love the way George Terry …I read that Clapton said he got to where he was playing what I should have been playing …sounding just like me ..he was good ..but you can easily tell the difference …great song though ..although I cant tell you why doesnt make a lot of sense ..sounded like Dylan was on drugs too …LOL..
I had a live version of this song copied onto a cassette tape from I believe the King Biscuit Flour Hour radio concert. That version was better than this one. But thanks for posting this.
Yyeah Andy Fairweather-Low came on much later, after Claptons rinsing of all his drugs and bad habits, but great to hear a Dylan song perfomed so well……
the other guitar player is indeed george terry
he pulled clapton through the better part of the seventies, guitar wise that is
Could it be George Terry?
Yes, EC was in a ‘bad place’ at the time! To what extent Radle was on a slide himself is difficult to work out – in D&D and the solo band, the other members were ‘indulging’.
A very sad epitaph to what had been a very close friendship.
Aye but in his book Clapton said he regrets firing Carl Radle.
I would say Andy Fairweather-Low but I don’t think he and Eric started playing together for at least another ten years.
And Doyle Bramhall III probably wasn’t even born yet… plus, he’s a lefty.
Who’s the other guitar player?
Thanks for the lyrics!!!
Piece of real heart:))
You speak to me in sign language,
As I’m eating a sandwich in a small cafe
At a quarter to three.
But I can’t respond to your sign language.
You’re taking advantage, bringing me down.
Can’t you make any sound?
‘Twas there by the bakery, surrounded by fakery.
This is my story, still I’m still there.
Does she know I still care?
Link Wray was playing on a jukebox, I was paying
For the words I was saying, so misunderstood.
He didn’t do me no good.
Have this album in mint cond. vinyl. Love it.
Yes. GT and the remaining members of this particular group got together a few years back to celebrate the life of Carl Radle (bass). EC sent a message through – whether this was genuine or a tactful absence, because EC dumped Radle and the rhythm section in 1979.
What happened to George Terry? I mean, did he continue in music? guess I could wiki that. . .
5 minutes with Eric Clapton = priceless. Make that 30 seconds.
wow…
gooooooooood version!!
I hear all these people saying how they have not heard these songs for years…I grew up on them and my teenage sons are now digging them. I guess I am furtunate for oiwning 142 gigs of the 60’s 70’s music…rock on!
Thank you!
I’ve looking for this video on this youtube for a long time!
