Clapton playing the hardcore blues that he grew up listening to.... that's magnificent! We can clearly see it here that he wasn't doing it for the public or his band or hell... not even for himself but for his blues heroes. The commitment, admiration and love is massive! Thank you, Eric!

Up to this point in '94, he had lived some hard "kicked in the gut" moments, with his Patti Boyd rejection in 1970 leading into his drug phase, and the passing of his son in '91. Surely his personal lifetime of blues was being channeled through in these gigs he played like this one.

This is what Blues is all about. Singing your heart out, making your guitar screaming and crying your pain to make people feeling it. No fuss, no extravagance, just the man pouring his soul out through his instrument. This video is one of the best testimony of one of the best Clapton's era ever, where he basically went back to his roots to make it his own. Fortunately for us, Martin Scorsese was there to capture these masterpiece moments so that everyone always remembers what a phenomal artist Clapton is. Nowadays you can criticize Clapton's stances on some sensitive topics, but you won't take away his musical legacy that will remain forever as long as there will be ears to listen.

I've never seen another type of music (i.e. the blues) that calls up such passion in its players - particular EC. The blues never fail him because he has such reverence for his idols and influences going way back. They are who he is channeling in this performance along with his own blues for which he's had plenty. If you want to hear a musician who "gets" the feel for this idiom, you are watching one of the greatest to strap on a six string. I get chills listening to him and want to immediately sit down at my instrument which isn't guitar, but keyboards. Now that's what inspiration does! Wow. Love you Eric - human frailties and all.

Honestly, this is the best I've heard blues being played. I suppose SRV would be a close second, but there's a bunch of musicians that try to play this genre (famous or not so) that sound pale in comparison, like most of what you might hear in a Famous Daves. Eric's lived through enough crap up to that point (and his son's passing was still fairly fresh here only about 3 years prior), that he could channel all those different emotions in this tour. Probably even therapeutic to an extent.

Eric estuvo durante esa memorable gira a un nivel superlativo en cuanto a inspiración bluesística. Su White Strat incendió el Fillmore. Es un Clapton feroz, abrasivo, salvaje, desatado, descarnado, incisivo, impío, implacable y con una intensidad tanto guitarrística como vocalmente como pocas veces le he visto. Un pirómano con una Fender en sus divinos dedos. Fue mi primer concierto que vi de Slowhand el 5 de Mayo de 1995 en el mítico Palau Sant Jordi de Barcelona. Absolutamente astral, supraterrenal, galáctico. CLAPTON IS GOD!!!! NO DOUBT ABOUT IT!!! 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

To all the dopey, cluless Clapton detractors who talk the same bullcrap that Clapton was at his best in the 60s and never duplicated that era: YOUR LOST AND CLULESS. This was the master at his peak. You can only reach this point by going through the 60s,70s and 80s and growing as a player and in life. The 60s Clapton could have never pulled this level of playing and vocals off, but the 90s Clapton could do the 60s Clapton without breaking a sweat. This concert is the gold standard of blues playing and vocals ever laid down.
