Eric Clapton

Before the live performance of "Love In Vain" on June 9, 2013, at Munich's Olympiahalle, Eric Clapton had just released his album "Old Sock" in March 2013. This album reflected a rich tapestry of influences, incorporating classic songs and showcasing Clapton's unique guitar stylings. The live performance features the soulful storytelling and bluesy undertones characteristic of Clapton's work, reminiscent of his earlier album "Me and Mr. Johnson" from 2004, where he paid tribute to blues great Robert Johnson. Interestingly, this live recording captures Clapton in a prolific phase of his career, demonstrating not only his enduring love for the blues but also his ability to connect with audiences around the world even after decades in the music industry. His band, including well-known guitarist Doyle Bramhall II, adds depth to this emotionally charged rendition.
