Eric Clapton

On September 14, 1999, Eric Clapton performed 'White Room' live in Central Park, showcasing his mastery of the guitar and emotional storytelling. This performance came shortly after the release of his album 'Pilgrim,' which hit the shelves in 1998. 'Pilgrim' was a pivotal work, marking a shift in Clapton's music with its blend of rock and a more introspective approach. Interestingly, Clapton had collaborated with Sheryl Crow before on the song 'The Woman I Love,' and their chemistry on stage was palpable during this soulful rendition. It's worth noting that 'White Room' originally came from Cream’s classic repertoire, proving how Clapton's timeless music continues to resonate across generations. This live recording encapsulates not just his legendary status but also a special moment where two iconic artists connected on stage in front of a New York City backdrop.
