Have you seen Eric Clapton at his best?

The last time I saw Clapton was in Hartford around 1988 or '89. Mark Knopfler, no slouch, was seconding him on guitar and I couldn't believe how much Clapton ran circles aqround him. The (personal) upshot is after an encore Clapton threw his guitar pick into the audience where it landed on the floor a few seats away. (I was in the 2nd row.) I got to the pick first and as I was trying to pick it up from the beer-soaked floor, some girl tried to peel my fingers off the pick by pulling them straight back. Before I could respond, she managed to dislocate three fingers on my left hand. The irony is that my fingers don't line up properly anymore and I can't chord a guitar neck right. BTW, the pick said "Have a Nice Day" on it.

I saw Clapton with Cream at Massey Hall in Toronto in 1967, with Blind Faith at Varsity Stadium In Toronto in 1969, and solo a couple of times in the early to mid 70's.
Hard to pick.. they were all great shows.
He is certasinly not the guitarist now, that he was then.
I am not quite as good myself at 57, as I was 40 years ago.

Actually, he was at his best when he was at his worst! Think he can still pull of that guitar solo from Crossroads. It was the Coca Cola, if you know what I mean.
