I'm trying to find an old documentary about a clapton tour.
My mum recorded it for me on VHS many years ago, and I'm trying to find it again now.
I think it was an ITV or Channel 4 thing (probably ITV aired).
The documentary was a standard "about clapton" documentary, but focussed on his tour of "from the cradle", that time period, lots of live tracks being played, he played a white clapton strat mostly, had a fantastic harmonica player, did a reggae style version of crossroads etc.
If anyone has any information about this documentary, name, year etc anything that gives me a shot of tracking it down, that would be great.

I saw EC at Hyde Park that year. He was jaw dropping. Best I have ever seen him.

2:00 is the best blues playing I've ever heard.

His slide playing is so visceral - and the vocal is just great.

That rack of vintage gold!
I watched the 'I still do' film the other week and enjoyed it so would like some more.
It is almost like Clapton is taunting us.
He can still do that thing but he chooses not to. Not even at the Cream reunion shows.
I think there is something very stubborn in his personality.
He's using Brownie, but his tone is so fat and the interplay with that rhythm section is off the hook.
I have to agree though, 99.9% of the time he sounds so much better with a Gibson.
