Have you seen Eric Clapton at his best?

Up until last night I had seen Eric four times and honestly felt I hadn't caught him at his finest. His recent tour gives all of us the opportunity. His set is largely from "Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs" 'cause he has the greatest living slide guitarist playing with him - Derek Trucks. Their interplay on the Layla album songs is truly magical. Catch the concert when it comes your way. Amazing!

Saw Cream at Fillmore West in 1968. A memorable concert. Ginger was at his absolute speed-freaking peak (don't know if it was the 'atmosphere' or what, but even his extended rendition of 'Toad' was perfect).

Having the chance to play with Derek T. is as good as having Duane back on the stage with him. Are they planning on recording/releasing music from this tour?

Cream, 1968, Farewell tour, Miami Baseball Stadium. Clapton and his band, 1976, Hollywood Sportatorium.
Still, sorry I missed the recent reunion with Ginger and Jack. The CD from these last shows sounds great!

" 'cause he has the greatest living slide guitarist playing with him - Derek Trucks."

Not if Ry Cooder and Sonny Landreth are still alive...

I don't think he's been close to his best since he kicked heroin. "slowhand" is not a literal description.
