Date: April 29, 2000

In April 2000, Eric Clapton performed 'Bell Bottom Blues' live on 'Later... with Jools Holland,' a spot that showcased his timeless talent and deep emotional connection to music. Just a couple of years prior, in 1998, he released the album 'Pilgrim,' which marked a significant phase in his career, showing a more introspective side after decades in the spotlight. The album featured a mix of rock and mellow tones, highlighting Clapton's evolution as a musician. Interestingly, 'Pilgrim' included songs penned during his personal struggles, making his performance of 'Bell Bottom Blues' not only a nostalgic trip back to his roots but also a poignant reminder of his journey through love and loss. Every note struck during that live performance echoes the rich history Clapton shares with his audience, creating a soul-stirring experience that transcends time.
