The intro to this is the most beautiful improvisation I've ever heard. His choice of notes and dynamics are genius, especially considering he's making that up on the spot.

Very good that suit, i think still. I learned to play guitar. After 30+ years i've played many of Claptons songs myself. But when i was kid, i used to look up this guy, this is my hero. Still is.

I’m a huge fan of EC and this particular concert is one of my all time favourites. The band were tight and well suited to the songs. Not always the case with some of the “fussiness “ that crept in with later personnel. Also Tim Renwick gave EC a run for his money - EC admitted as much - so you have a highly talented guy being pushed to be “one better”. No criticism just a fans reflection and opinion. Thanks for the music Eric

For me the original Blackie Stratocaster has the most beautiful electric guitar tone all throughout his career. It is very much like Peter Green's Les Paul, Ed King's "Sweet Home Alabama" strat & Dickey Bett's goldtop Les Paul. It sounds best relatively clean with just enough distortion to make it sustain notes.

This is the Clapton that I know and love. Not the man in his dotage who lets others play his shit. He's too generous nowadays. I know he's got nothing left to prove, but when I go to see Clapton I want to see "God", and nothing less. He set the bar himself and I'm holding him to it. For both our souls. Let it Rain I think may be his finest hour. I wish you could have heard it in the early 70's, it made a statement.

Eric Clapton commented on the difficulty of Layla, "'Layla' is a difficult one, because it's a difficult song to perform live. You have to have a good complement of musicians to get all of the ingredients going, but when you've got that. ... It's difficult to do as a quartet, for instance, because there are some parts you have to play and sing completely opposing lines, which is almost impossible to do....."
