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?

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

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

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

I can't find the channel!

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 )

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

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!

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

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.

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.
