Eric Clapton

In December 1969, Eric Clapton was riding a wave of creativity and collaboration, having recently played a pivotal role in the band Blind Faith earlier that same year. The live recording of "I Don’t Know Why" comes from the "Delaney & Bonnie and Friends Live" album, showcasing Clapton's collaborative spirit during a period when he was exploring new musical landscapes. This particular concert, held in Copenhagen, highlights not just Clapton's electric guitar prowess but also his willingness to fuse rock with elements of R&B and soul, characteristic of the Delaney & Bonnie project. It's an interesting moment in Clapton's career, where he started to step out of his supergroup status and delve into more personal projects, paving the way for his iconic solo career that would follow in the years to come.
