Yes. He tours somewhere pretty much annually.
Nothing flashy just excellent musicianship
With laurels like that to rest on, I'd say he's earned the right to do whatever he likes now. And I say that as someone who only really rates the stuff he did on Pro's and Con's. Always liked the story behind that where Waters told his wife he'd like Clapton on the record but said you don't just phone Clapton up and ask him, to which she replied "that's silly, just phone him!".
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself

End of the day, the fucker played "All Your Love" and changed the sound of rock guitar.
Clearly he doesn't (and never has had) the harmonic knowledge to play through the changes that those guys are capable of - but what he did was cop exactly the right feel. He does a little speech on the DVD where he pretty much admits he's out of his depth...
It seems to me that this was a massive risk for him and that he seemed to want to test himself.
Thanks for reminding me of it - I need to dig it out and watch it again.
As one that has to fly frequently for work I totally get that airports aren't a fun place to spend time but I'm guessing that at his level he's beyond having to stand in the same queue of oxygen thieves at the Sleazyjet desk as I do and I'm guessing the hotels he stays in are probably pretty plush as well ?
And of course the pivotal point is, he 's Eric Clapton, I'm guessing he's probably alright for few quid and unlike the rest if us schmucks who will probably have to work until we're 70 just to have enough cash to live the relatively short bit after retirement he surely could've jacked it all in 20 years ago if he'd have wanted ?
Like I say, there genuinely is no bitterness in this, just think it's funny how one's perspective gets a bit skewed by your surroundings..
