Eric Clapton

In September 1990, Eric Clapton was riding a wave of renewed popularity after releasing his album "August" just two years earlier. This period marked a significant chapter in Clapton’s career, showcasing his ability to blend blues and rock into something uniquely captivating. The Santiago concert, recorded on the 29th at Estadio Nacional, was part of his tour to promote his latest works. Interestingly, Clapton's musical journey had transitioned through various phases, from the raw energy of The Yardbirds and Cream to a more polished, mature sound that was evident in the late '80s. He even delved into personal themes in his lyrics, reflecting on love and loss, particularly after the tragic death of his son, which informed much of his later work. This concert represents a moment where Clapton connected with his audience, sharing not just music, but a piece of his ongoing story.
