Afgelopen vrijdag mijn grote gitaarheld, de inmiddels 81-jarige Eric Clapton weer live aan het werk gezien in Amsterdam. Van ronkende gitaren tot een prachtige, verstilde, akoestische set op een avond met ook een paar verrassende nummers: ‘If I Don’t Be There By Morning’ en ‘Golden Ring’, allebei van het album ‘Backless’ uit 1978. Uiteraard ontbraken ook de klassiekers niet. Kortom, een topavond!

Me and Mr. Johnson

Slowhand's tribute to Delta blues legend Robert Johnson is released on March 23, 2004. The 14 covers are a "labor of love" and a long-held goal for Clapton to pay homage to one of his main musical influences. The band is a tad legendary, too -- Billy Preston on keyboards, Steve Gadd on drums, Nathan East on bass and Doyle Bramhall II. #ericclapton #slowhand #meandmrjohnson #blues #deltablues #robertjohnson #billypreston #stevegadd #music #musicsky…

Pilgrim

Slowhand releases his 13th on March 10, 1998 ... his first collection of entirely new studio material since 1989's Journeyman. It includes "My Father's Eyes" -- a poignant song about the father Clapton never met. It became a hit and won him a Grammy. #ericclapton #slowhand #pilgrim #90smusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #90srock #rock #rockmusic #bluesrock

Slowhand

Released on November 25, 1977, it's #325 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. The album was produced by Glyn Johns and the album artwork was designed by Clapton himself -- with help from Patti Boyd and Dave Stewart. It became one of his most successful and critically acclaimed albums.
