Eric Clapton

In February 1988, Eric Clapton was riding the wave of his successful career, fresh off the release of his critically acclaimed album 'August,' which came out just months prior, in 1986. That album not only featured hits like 'It's in the Way That You Use It' but also showcased Clapton's knack for blending rock with more melodic pop influences. By the time of this live recording at the Tokyo Dome, Clapton had already solidified his status as a legendary guitarist and songwriter. Interestingly, this performance captures him during a period of immense personal and musical growth, where he was starting to rediscover his roots and reconnect with his bluesy origins after a foray into more mainstream sounds. The audience's energy and Clapton's captivating guitar work make this a memorable snapshot of his journey in the late '80s.
