Amazing, as many times as I have heard him play this song live and just about the time I think Iv'e heard it all before, Clapton slaps's me right in the smacker and proves me wrong. Another performance for the books. The thing that separates Eric from most guitarist. is that he can not only play like the devil but he can also write great songs...IMO ....and I know there are many other famous guitarist that can write and play but not many. Being able to play great and write great songs is what separates the famous from the not so famous...(at least in my opinion )...

@@SwapnenduKar Thats exactly right However playing super fast or technical does not make you a great guitar player. All that is does is make the music sound technical rather than having soul and feeling the way Eric plays. I have played for over 50 years now and personally I think Eric is far better than the super fast players.

I was at this show. This was in Madison Square Garden in June of '99, (and again when it was held in 2013)...I just can never pass up any chance to see Clapton, especially when it's with his friends, and despite being called "Eric Clapton and Friends in Concert : A benefit for The Crossroads Centre in Antigua". Over the years it just became known as "Eric Clapton's Crossroads Tour". And instead of lasting just a few incredible hours, as Eric realized the extent of his reach into the music community, it's grown to a full day event. I've been going to see him play, anytime he's been anywhere near the NY City area since his Slowhand Tour in '78. I've never missed a Tour, and always try to get tickets for more than one show. And in the countless Shows I've been blessed to see, I've never left a single one feeling like it was anything less than incredible, or that there were other songs I'd have preferred to hear. The man is just an absolute LEGEND. One of the greatest guitarists who've ever lived. ✌️
