For all you Clapton fans....

I am a huge Eric Clapton fan and have followed everything he has done. I have seen him on three occasions, one of them when he was not at his best. How many of you know about his "blues" virtuosity. A recording called Eric Clapton Blues Polydor 314 547 178-2 I have it on a 2 disc cd set, and it showcases some of his greatest performances, both studio and live. There are also some tracks, such as Ain't That Loving You, a studio track, which can easily show you what your system is really made of. I guarantee a must have for all !

A huge fan here. I like him most when he is being pushed by Steve Ferone (on drums).

I am also a fan. I have seen him three times. Once in the 70's, again in the mid 80's and last year with Steve Winwood.
MrDecibel, yes I have the "Blues" CD. I enjoy it when he performs with old band mates and friends: Cream, BB King, Billy Preston, Steve Winwood, JJ Cale and Chris Stainton. It appears he remembers those musicians who help him along the way.

I'm his fan too, but technically can't consider him blues virtuoso sorry... I can tell he's very pleasant and have lots of spirit, but can't tell he's super-technical. I learned to play blues of his tabs and do not consider him difficult to repeat if you're good hard-working student:-).

I like his rock Cream times better than nowdays though...
