Eric Clapton has been around a long time. Forty years ago, he was considered the best guitarist in rock and roll. But Eric had a problem. He was in love with George Harrison's wife. George was Eric's best friend. This caused a lot of emotional problems for Clapton. Eric was also using hard drugs. From 1966 through 1970, he did release some great albums, first working with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, then Cream, the Blind Faith, and then his solo career, calling his band Derek and Dominos.

This concert was from 1970, when Derek and Dominos played the Fillmore East in New York City. No one knew that Clapton would go into seclusion shortly after this concert. He came back in 1974 playing much more laid back music, almost morphing into country rock with some blues solos to remind us that he still had it going on. No one knew that this performance was the absolute greatest moment of Clapton's career, and that the downhill slide that awaited him was right around the corner. This performance was as good as it was ever going to get. The intro alone makes it into the top 10 (for the top 10 so far, click on www.psychsound.com and scroll down the list).
