Never really been a huge fan of Clapton over the years. I own the Derek and the Dominoes album and his Unplugged and that is it I believe.
Pretty comprehensive look at his life growing up, all the bands he was a part of, and a lot of focus on his substance abuse. They have some
pretty amazing audio and video snippets from different parts of his career including a recorded conversation between him and Jimi Hendrix
when they were both intoxicated. I went into it thinking that I would probably turn it off halfway through if I wasn't interested but I was
actually pulled in by his story. He has had a lot of heart break and bad things happen to him, he was also not a very nice guy during his
time when he was on drugs and alcohol. Thought it was quite well done and worth a watch at all if you like his music or blues in general.

I thought it was fine. I killed time with it.

Throw out the Unplugged record and you're good to go.

I have been listening to it this morning. The whole album is solid in my opinion.

OK. Fair enough. Maybe I'll give it a whirl on the turntable.

The entire record is intense. It's Clapton's masterpiece. The guitar duel on the outro of "Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad?" is worth the price of the album by itself.

What's the difference between Conor Clapton and a bag of black tar heroin?









Eric never let a bag of black tar heroin fall off a 50th floor balcony.

Did they go into the part where he was a White Nationalist in the UK in the 70s?

Clapton with George Harrison (and many more) from '87. George's voice does not sound great but hadn't seen this footage before...

Add this to your collection. It's a live blues album from the mid 70's. The emotion conveyed is intense.
