Rob, how did you come up wth 5.9.5 for Clapton? Didnīt you have him at 5'10 years ago?
joker says on 4/Nov/11
I think Clapton is taller than 5.95 because he is taller than both lennon and harrison. Possibly 5.11 in his prime. mcfan says on 12/Sep/11
They just showed footage on Showtime from 2001 in NYC with Paul McCartney and Eric Clapton standing directly in front of one another. They were exactly the same height. Greg says on 12/Sep/11
A delightful piece of YouTube'ery is here, with Clapton matched against Carl Perkins and the great Johnny Cash (a really nice performance by all three, cash shows what a wonderful guy he was and Clapton was close to his peak as a musician):

Perkins looks a tad shorter than Cash, but both Cash and Perkins seemed around 6'1, and are clearly "big" guys with large frames. Next to Clapton, Cash looks *huge*, but Clapton doesn't seem that far off height-wise; I'd say Clapton was about 5'9 - 5'10 here, and doesn't seem to be wearing huge boots (though that's hard to say with certainty). bam says on 19/Aug/11

Rob - Do you have any idea how tall Jeff Beck is? I saw him and Eric Clapton play together at Ronnie Scott's and I thought Clapton looked about an inch taller, therefore I assumed Beck was about 5'9", yet he is listed as 5'10". Robby D. says on 25/Jul/11
Perhaps Eric Clapton is 5'10" then, because I was browsing the internet to find out how tall Jeff Beck is and he is listed as 5'10" everywhere. I am sure Eric is taller than Jeff. 5\'8.56784 says on 25/Jul/11
He hold his own against 6'3 Mayer, he might be 5'10 nowadays. Ken Hery Roedsand says on 16/Jul/11
I think he has the right height for his "exelente perfomence" and lyrics, song and guitar. I think also that his height is average for most of all known artists.He is , whithout any doubt one of my favourites.... Robby D. says on 10/Jul/11
In the sixties when he was with the Yardbirds, he was way shorter than Paul Samwell-Smith, Chris Dreja and Jim McCarty and only slightly taller than Keith Relf, whom I think was about 5'8", therefore I think Rob's assessment of 5'9.5" is probably quite accurate. He was never, ever over 5'10" even at his peak. Shaun says on 30/Jun/11
First of all Rob Clapton is primarily a guitarist. Its like calling Jimi Hendrix a singer. And I doubt he is under 5'10". Only looks about 4 inches shorter than 6'3" John Mayer I recall. 5\'7.56 says on 22/Jan/11
He's 5'10 now and was 5'11 at peak. |
