This is undoubtedly the best live version of Sultans, it's always good live, but this is just the pinnacle. I love the line about Guitar George not wanting to make the guitar cry and scream which is exactly what Mark is doing. Drummer, Keyboard and Sax all brilliant and Clapton just quietly strumming away as if he was sitting at home by the fire. A true work of art/genius and yes the adverts interrupting it are criminal. Lucky enough to see Mark live I think in 2018 or 2019, can't remember now, but he was fantastic.
