Oh I missed this I must find it. We saw him at the Albert Hall some years ago when he did his own music and some contemporary things in collaboration with Michael Nieman absolutely fantastic.

Missed Eric, oh no, one of my teenage crushes. I saw Cream for 2/6 just before they hit the big time. Great. Though remember some very long drum solos from Ginger Baker.

I saw him in the 80s ...

If I had to choose a favorite .. Can't Find My Way Home ..

MissAdventure. It was on BBC4 and is on the BBC iPlayer.

Yes I realised after I posted that I'd got that wrong!
I do remember the shock of Conor's death - incredibly sad.
I associate many 'romantic' times with Clapton's' songs!

You must be a superfan or in his inner circle . Lucky you!

It is ‘Wonderful Tonight’ ‘Would you know my name’ and Conor . No apologies for being pedantic over any of this .

I have seen him live more than 100 times , I have been to his house in Chelsea and I was at the recording of a ‘Unplugged’ at Bray Studios and consequently the world premier of Tears in Heaven (and the acoustic version of
Layla )

Will you know my name ? I can't bear to hear this, without imagining that horrible morning...poor Connor

Those guitar rifs provoke a physical response.
How can anyone resist Beautiful Tonight?

Saw him in Hyde Park once. he was absolutely fantastic. Will have to watch this program on catch up. Thanks for the heads up.

Now on. Am I the only one watching this and feeling very nostalgic?
Has anyone else ever made such a sexy impression with a guitar?
