Eric Clapton

In September 1998, Eric Clapton was riding high on the success of his album 'Pilgrim,' which had been released just the previous year. This project marked a significant pivot in Clapton's career, showcasing a blend of rock, pop, and blues with introspective lyrics reflecting on personal experiences. During this live performance in Edmonton, he delivered 'Going Down Slow,' a classic blues track that showcases his incredible guitar skills and emotional depth. It's also interesting to note that Clapton had called this era of his life a time of reflection, addressing themes of love and loss through his music. The Edmonton show is a testament to Clapton's enduring connection to blues roots while continuing to evolve as an artist, transforming live performances into heartfelt journeys for his audience.
