Eric Clapton

In September 1998, Eric Clapton was in a particularly vibrant phase of his career, having released the album 'Pilgrim' just a year earlier. This album saw Clapton experimenting with new sounds and electronic elements, capturing a more introspective side of his artistry. The live performance of 'Tearing Us Apart' from the Edmonton Coliseum on September 11, 1998, showcases his unmatched guitar skills and emotional depth during a time when he was undergoing significant personal changes. Interestingly, 'Pilgrim' was his first album to use Pro Tools technology, allowing for a polished blend of blues, rock, and pop influences. This performance reflects not just Clapton's technical prowess but also his ability to connect deeply with his audience, exemplifying why he remains a respected figure in the music world.
