Eric Clapton – Cocaine
An evening pause: Performed live 2015. The directing however is very mediocre. During the very spectacular piano solo he or she seemed more interested cutting in a lot of random shots rather than showing what was really amazing, the piano player’s performance.
Still, a great performance. Hat tip Cotour.
Sheryl Crow, Eric Clapton, Vince Gill, Albert Lee – Living on Tulsa Time
An evening pause: Performed live 2007.
Hat tip Judd Clark, who notes that at one point he counted “five lead guitarists on stage, besides Sheryl.”
Fender – recreating the classic “Brownie” Stratocaster used by Eric Clapton
An evening pause: Apparently Clapton used what is called a “Brownie” Stratocaster when he recorded the song Layla. In this video Fender rebuilds an old one to make it like new, for Clapton.
Hat tip Cotour.
Today’s blacklisted American: Eric Clapton, for daring to express his own opinions
Mao’s cultural revolution in 1966,
what today’s leftists want for America and the world.
They’re coming for you next: Long time rock-n-roll star Eric Clapton has revealed that he has become ostracized from his liberal, leftist, music culture because he dared to publicly express opposition to last year’s lockdowns as well as publicly expressed reservations about the COVID-19 vaccines.
Legendary guitarist Eric Clapton said his musician friends stopped communicating with him after he recently spoke out about his “disastrous” COVID-19 side effects. “I’ve tried to reach out to fellow musicians,” Clapton said during a video Q&A mostly about his COVID-19 vaccine experience and his reaction to the powers-that-be afterward. “I just don’t hear from them anymore. My phone doesn’t ring very often. I don’t get that many texts and emails any more. It’s quite noticeable.”
Clapton’s aforementioned statements come at the very end of the below video, just before the 24-minute mark — but the whole interview is pretty eye-opening:
According to Vulture.com, Clapton also said, “I was ostracized. And I could feel that everywhere.”
I agree, the whole interview is worth listening to, and so I have embedded it at the bottom of this essay.

Eric Clapton – Layla
Eric Clapton – Tears In Heaven
An evening pause: Hat tip Danae, who suggested a different performance that I posted back in 2015. I also posted a third version in 2011. No matter. There is something very heartfelt about the song and every Clapton performance that makes it worth watching again and again. The song was written following the death of Clapton’s four-year-old son, Conor, after falling from a window of the 53rd-floor New York apartment on March 20, 1991.
Eric Clapton – They’re Red Hot
Eric Clapton – Tears in Heaven
An evening pause: I posted a 1999 Clapton performance of this song in 2011, but this 2013 version is worth watching as well.
Hat tip Danae.
JJ Cale & Eric Clapton – After Midnight & Call me the Breeze

Hat tip to Keith Douglas.

Eric Clapton – Tears in Heaven
An evening pause: “Written by Eric Clapton and Will Jennings about the pain Clapton felt following the death of his four-year-old son, Conor, who fell from a window of the 53rd-floor New York apartment of his mother’s friend, on March 20, 1991.”
