THE guy has been playing for 60 years and he is doing his best work now . BLUE DUST !

[@RadulovicDragan]

A true man he is. I grew up with his music. He is a legend, no doubt. But, most of all, he is a decent human being. It's so rare these days. Keep well Eric. In my Serbia people would say, "He was born for good reason."

[@andrewarthurmatthews9990]

You seem to be forgetting his racist outburst! How offensive was that ? Ok he was probably coked to the max or full of booze but those sentiments were inside him and the stimulants freed them . Frightening indeed !

[@cormacjosh]

@@andrewarthurmatthews9990 I seem to remember he acknowledged this outburst and has apologized for it more than once. Get over it already. People make mistakes in life, and nobody is 100% perfect all the time. It is much to his credit that he has acknowledged and apologized for his own mistake. Ironically, this is what a true man actually does.

@@johnsheehy4192 Get educated. Ironically calling somebody else a parrot. October 7th OK with you then? Thought so.

[@johnsheehy4192]

​@@tonyperring You need to get educated on basic logic. Supporting a collection of people with a common cause does not mean that you like or support everything else done for that cause, on one specific day. You can not judge the legitimacy of a grievance by the worst example of actions of any of the people sharing that grievance; that is only an excuse to close your mind, when you do that. I've been studying this conflict for decades. Oct 7 isn't OK at all; it never should have happened, but I know enough to know that something like it was inevitable if it became possible, given the way IL has been treating the natives of Palestine, the real descendants of the ancients of IL/PL, like garbage, "in word" since 1917 when the European Zists in Palestine declared the native population of mostly non-Jews to be an "Arab problem" (the native Jews didn't see them as a problem), and "in deed" since 1947/48 when they started violently massacring and expelling non-Jews, while corrupt world powers looked the other way. It is a fact that IL actually supported the creation of H4m4s to "divide and conquer" the Palestinians and put a Islamist-themed representation for Gaza, and was financially backing H4m4s right up to weeks before October 7, through Qatar as the middle man. Anyone who assumes that anyone who is against IL or for the PL cause is a fan of Hamas, and like terrorism against Jews as an end in itself, is either lying, ignorant, or parroting liars..

[@grahamjones6431]

Just back home from tonight's gig at the RAH, ears still buzzin and just processing what I've seen and listened to. Have to say it was one of the most enthralling nights of music I've ever had. Eric's ability to marshall his band is exceptional and his arrangements are worthy of the originals. His playing, of course, was measured and clinical in its execution. How he bends those notes really gets me! Rest assured everyone, Clapton is still God.

[@TimEssers]

Always loved and still love Clapton. Saw the Cream farewell tour in LA when I was 14. Great concert here! As comical side note - as a white person, I feel a little embarrassed that we as a group can sit so stone-faced and frozen - that hardly anyone in the audience can do more than barely tap their feet in response, to such great music. We are wired so tight... yeah yeah okay, a bit of polite applause at the end of each song.... sitting there like a bunch of intellectual robots absorbing the show...can't show much feeling.. there are like two people clapping in time we can see sometimes? we are weird.

[@LukeMaynard]

This extreme side view is doubly nostalgic for me as I got to see him from exactly this side last year. Not this close, and certainly not in a venue as perfect as the Albert Hall. But I have to say thank you, thank you for capturing this in glorious 4K. This looks damn good on my laptop, and I can't wait until I get to stream it on a 4k TV and see it in all its beauty. You're doin' the Lord's work, my friend, preserving live music at this quality. I discovered Clapton when I was 10 years old, in a community hall record swap that smelled like vinyl and dust and old people's basements. This was the period when you'd pay $40 for a grainy copy-of-a-copy of a concert on VHS, which you'd watch maybe 6 times through tracking errors before it fell apart on you. And here we are today, with video so crisp and clear that when you zoom in in 4K, I can actually make out the individual pedals on Doyle's pedalboard behind Clapton's head: there is no better commercial for today's ampless modeling technology than seeing that when you're tapped to play the Royal Albert Hall alongside Eric F'ing Clapton, you can get away with the Strymon Iridium on the corner of your board as the replacement for that whole stack of Marshalls you once had to lug around. This is archival-quality., and to me it captures the concert experience better than a fully produced concert video. Thank you for sharing this.
