Eric Clapton

In October 1987, Eric Clapton graced the stage in London, teaming up with the legendary Buddy Guy for a soulful rendition of "Worried Life Blues". This performance came right after the release of Clapton's album "August" in 1986, which showcased a blend of rock and blues that resonated widely with fans. The '87 live recording highlights Clapton's raw emotive guitar playing, reflecting his growth as an artist during this period. Interestingly, the '80s were a transformative time for Clapton, marking his return to form after a series of challenges, both personal and professional. With Guy beside him, the performance not only celebrates musical collaboration but also underlines Clapton's deep roots in the blues—a genre that shaped both his identity and that of countless artists he inspired.
