Clapton, Eric - After Midnight Lyrics






After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down.
After midnight, we're gonna chug-a-lug and shout.
We're gonna stimulate some action;
We're gonna get some satisfaction.
We're gonna find out what it is all about.
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down.

After midnight, we're gonna shake your tambourine.
After midnight, it's all gonna be peaches and cream.
We're gonna cause talk and suspicion;
We're gonna give an exhibition.
We're gonna find out what it is all about.
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down.

After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down.

[Repeat Second Verse]

After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down.
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down.
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down.
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down.

    JJ Cale was one of the most underrated and under appreciated American Musicians' in Rock ...... to me he was the epitome of laid-back and cool.

  17. s.... c....

    The woman playing acoustic guitar is Christine Lakeland, aka Mrs. JJ Cale.

    s.... c....

    Thank you kindly for this info!

  18. J.... P....

    Who is the woman playing acoustic guitar?

    J.... P....

    His wife, Christine.

    J.... P....

    More specifically, Christine Lakeland, an accomplished artist on her own.

  19. L.... W....

    JJ cale was an amazing artist. He will be missed to old blues players.

  20. B.... M....

    I like how John Mayer is off stage with his hands in his pockets, like, “ I got nothing.”

    B.... M....

    yes you are wrong

    B.... M....

    BUT THIS IS GREAT.

    L.... B....

    @Dizzymclizzy H I'll go with JJ's versions of any of his songs, man is a legend. If you haven't watched JJ Cale and Leon Russell live at Paradise Studios 1979 check it out it's great.

    L.... B....

    The term Nail on the Head comes to mind ...........you got that soooooooo fn right.

  26. e.... ....

    It's the one where Eric got lost in after midnight (by his own accord)

  27. M.... E....

    Awesome

  28. r.... a....

    This shows what music is all about

  29. C.... ....

    The look on J.J.'s face the whole time is like, 'Just playin' guitar...'. :'D

    C.... ....

    How about the look on Eric’s face? Apparently he was so lost during that song

    C.... ....

    @Alexander Voigt I'm not talking about Eric, you idiot.

    C.... ....

    what kinda look do you have when you're earning your living?

    C.... ....

    @daveycard Are you really taking offense to my comment, loser? :'D

  30. D.... P....

    Anyone else in 2020?

  31. D.... D....

  32. B.... D....

  33. S.... H....

    Ultimate respect and humility from slow hand.🤘

  34. �.... �....

    JJ Cale отличный мелодист.Может позволить себе играть короткие, красивые вещи.Не как некоторые ,сыпят соль на рану 54 раза за 5 минут.Доктора шлягеры блин.А у него вроде все просто,без затей,но слушать хочется еще и еще, настроение поднимает,позитива море.У нас многие знают Клептона , Нопфлера,а его почти никто.

  35. I.... L....

    Those lucky people!

  47. D.... W....

    Attorney on Bass

  48. D.... C....

    Lovely, flowing bass lines for a G-C-D sequence. JJ seems a little nervous in his solo's and riffs. Rock steady drumming. Nice backing from Christine. The magic is there ...

    D.... C....

    Nervous? Get a grip.

    D.... C....

    Have a listen to his interviews - he reveals all...

  49. M.... K....

    🎸Great friends 🎸Awesome Guitar players🎸Great music‼️

  50. s.... G....

    What a shitty solo

    s.... G....

    Go and take your guitar ,and burn it you will never ever learn how to play ..

    s.... G....

    Your a shitty solo

    s.... G....

    What a shitty comment!

  51. L.... O....

    Base Piano and Drum players are keeping this performance tight. So good

    L.... O....

    Lethal Outdoors I’ve watched this video many times over the last several years because I love the drummer when they do they call me the breeze he just smokes it

    L.... O....

    @Rice Flatpicking dude yess I love the drummer, his past and fills are ridiculous and Jj cale is just amazing. And the bass player man those notes are funk city

  52. k.... j....

    jj cale is kinda boring..

    k.... j....

    @ATOM K have u ever met atom bomb

    k.... j....

    David Grabpwski how old are you? Cause you’re acting like a 9 year old brat. And I do believe that the one throwing the insults out is the one saying the “stupid shit”.

    k.... j....

    You're a loser an, go somewhere else.

    k.... j....

    Pirate dude I’m a trained musician who has studied the blues. And J.J. and eric and many others. I think I know a little mire about this stuff than you do.

    k.... j....

    @ATOM K well good for you.I'm so happy for you. self praise is no recommendation. have a lovely life.

  53. V.... R....

    FABULOUS!!!
    THANKS GUYS!

  54. K.... K....

    Бруталяшко...

    K.... K....

    No hes actually very old here, and died a couple years after this, he had a life of live preforming and entertaining people. He did a crazy good job here with both tracks!. Mind you it's his band, he worked on this song with them for 30 years. Bare in mind his voice is supposed to go flat and high. Nah nah very good performance "After midnigght"

  55. c.... g....

    JJ Cale,he wrote so many songs that others would jazz up and make hits out of.Rip Mr.Cale,you were one if the great songwriters of all time.

  56. e.... ....

    really hope that JJ cale´s descendents are economically independently......

  57. m.... ....

    J.J.'s the king. He didn't dance for nobody.

  58. P.... B....

    That’s how JJ Cale performs. He was the master of the understated. I think that it is awesome.

  59. J.... N....

    I'm sorry but this live version is completely devoid of any sort of enthusiasm the original has. There's no upbeat, he's constantly singing in a flat tone and it just butchers it. Just because it's different it doesn't mean it's good, he's singing as if he's bored.

    J.... N....

    "he's dead now so shut up..

    J.... N....

    darksideomyass calm down buddy. Freddie Mercury was a fantastic singer, and Queen made some fantastic music.

    J.... N....

    Sorry, don't agree. This is one of my favourite live performances of his.

    J.... N....

    Andrew Doolittle Who cares if he’s dead? Can you not say anything bad about Motzart?

    J.... N....

    I love it. Hard twang of the syllables on the two and four beats, then slide down off the notes at the end of a phrase, in a typical blues style. Grungy finger-style riffs driving the rhythm, alongside Clapton's tighter playing. I like it raw like this better than upbeat early rock style, but each to their own.

  60. W.... N....

    DONE RIGHT👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

  61. W.... N....

    LOVE THIS.💛👍 MY RESPECT TO MASTERS

  62. P.... T....

    With JJ Cale cool !

  63. M.... H....

    Damn, I love love love this set. I particularly like the girl on acoustic guitar who looks constantly amazed that she's there with these blues icons.

    M.... H....

    Christine Lakeland - JJ's wife and band member since 70's - I would assume she was quite used to it.
    Probably enjoyed the experience nevertheless ;)

    M.... H....

    Watch JJ Cale and Leon Russell live at Paradise Studios 1979, Christine was jamming with her husband and legends back then and she's got talent in her own right.

  64. c.... ....

    Clapton's facial expressions are priceless he's having some real wtf is going on moments.

  65. J.... o....

    my favorite part about this video is the sweetheart n the background playin the Guitar ....,,,,, She knows it's a Peaches & Cream gig.

    J.... o....

    His wife, Christine Lakeland?
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G62OabZG_Kg

    J.... o....

    Correct

  66. R.... H....

    excuse me, i just happened to come out here from oklahoma and can't stop playing the best music this country ever heard. signed j.j. / leon / carl / jim ~

  67. J.... E....

    Merci pour tout JJ ! Tu nous manques....

  68. B.... d....

    Encore merci pour tout, maître !

  69. m.... h....

    Já imaginou reunir Eric Clapton, Armandinho e Pepeu Gomes em um trio elétrico aqui no carnaval Bahia? Seria uma loucura; Teria um terremoto em Salvador.

  70. t.... ....

    Wish Clapton would take a hike

    t.... ....

    Said no one.

  71. J.... S....

    Gotta give JJ a ton of credit. First off an absolute terrific songwriter. And.... you can see he had music in his heart and soul. It wouldn't matter who was on stage with him he just plays it his way with his feel! I love it. There he is with EC on stage and he is not intimidated one bit. Great video and a good look at some of music's best when it comes to natural talent. Rock On!!

    J.... S....

    EC puts his pants on the same way, one leg at a time.. JJ should send him flowers for the $$$ Clapton made him covering his songs.

  72. j.... b....

    R.I.P. WE MISS YOU JJ

  73. m.... h....

    OH JJ I LOVE YOU DEEPLY RIP

  74. J.... S....

    In Catalonia we say....ESGARRIFA!!!!!.......oooh yeaaah!!!!

  75. A.... H....

    5:48 is pure Knopfler

    A.... H....

    Knopfler is JJ Cale, Knopfler is not JJ Cale

    A.... H....

    Ralf S what?

    A.... H....

    Right, now you know where Knopfler got it from, the groove, the fingerstyle and the phrasing;)

    A.... H....

    johopeweisz Knopfler developed that style on his own, with a little influence for different people

    A.... H....

    @ATOM K Sure! Mark Knopfler is not a copy cat and JJ Cale not his only influence - of cours not;)

  76. L.... 1....

    I can not understand how anyone can put a negative to music, any music played by anyone.
    There is not a single justified negative.

  77. K.... A....

    Did anyone spot John Mayer...5:26

  78. p.... a....

    love Clapton's expression when JJ hits that groove in his solo)...and Bill Barr on bass?

  79. C.... C....

    RIP, JJ

  80. r.... ....

    Cale so raw & Clapton so polished. Two of the best musicians on the planet giving a mega performance.

    r.... ....

    I was gonna' say something more, but I can't think of anything, and it's not even after midnight! RIP JJ.

    r.... ....

    reaveymr my 16 year old grandson just sang this at open mic last week would love to know what you think https://youtu.be/JiQAhbcwD5w

  81. P.... B....

    Back when you could see Clapton at a CR show.

    P.... B....

    Patrick B yea ere not privileged in Aus

  82. C.... P....

    I wish always a drummer like Jim Karstein!!!

  83. L.... M....

    Great to see how respectful Clapton is to the original songwriter- he's a classy dude.

  84. I.... �....

    seems like Clapton is a bit nervous bout jjs coolness on stage - jj Cale is taking every pressure out of such large Events like crossroads - just beeing himself - wow..........and not to Forget , christines in heaven playing with two legends

    I.... �....

    Clapton never sweats... he appreciates jjs talent!

    I.... �....

    Clapton is ridiculously humble and self-conscious most of the time. He went to Woodstock to ask to join The Band and chickened out because he was nervous. That’s mad to think about.

  85. C.... B....

    just look at these 2 legends ...sweating without even breaking a sweat. lol

  86. s.... ....

    The appreciation between JJ and Eric..... Is awesome..

  87. j.... d....

    cale = real

  88. l.... ....

    5:26 a young John Mayer behind Christine Lakeland

  89. t.... ....

    Gawd I love this dude, can you imagine if everyone on this earth was like jj ? What a wonderful world it would be !

  90. P.... A....

    Nothing like playing with your hero in the zone life changing

    R.... D....

    Amen to that Reef Dogg 🎸It couldn't have been said Any Better !!

    R.... D....

    And one to add complimenting The ☝Reef Dogg's stellar comment E.C said That It Was "The Height" For Every Musician He Knew To Get To Play with John !! And does Anybody notice He Never used a guitar pick...EC also said Every Musician has "Clunkers" in their catalogue of songs But Not John 🎸🎼🎸 Absolutely Had That " Green Light" And Will Forevermore in My humble opinion 🎸John Weldon Cale 1938-2013 🎸 feel it The Breeze It Keeps Rolling Out The Door 🎸Hell Yesssss

    R.... D....

    I've been playing guitar since 85 and I never use a pick you feel the power better with out one sounds like you know what's up great music will live on

    R.... D....

    @Reef Dogg That's Telling It True Bro' 🎵🎶🎸❕‼Lives On' Hell Yessssss ❗ Reef Dogg Is got it RIGHT 🆒❗❗☝🎵

  94. H.... P....

    Looks like a young John Mayer is lookin on at 7:43

    H.... P....

    It is him.

    H.... P....

    @Carlos Anathema what a killer moment with these three guys

    H.... P....

    @Hudson Peden Mayer is the heir apparent to Bloomfield. Two Jewish guitarists that really "get" the blues.

  95. M.... O....

    Still can't be beat ....amazing !!!!!!!

  96. S.... C....

    Son and Father...Light & Love...

  97. G.... S....
