Eric Clapton Live in Berlin Performing It Ain't Easy (To Love Somebody)
In 2013, when Eric Clapton rocked the stage at O2 World in Berlin, he was riding high on the success of his album "Old Sock," which had dropped earlier that same year. This album featured a mix of original tracks and covers, showcasing Clapton's diverse influences and his penchant for blues and rock. It's fascinating to note that "Old Sock" marked a return to a more laid-back sound, echoing his earlier works while still feeling fresh. Live performances during this era often included Clapton's interpretations of timeless classics, and his rendition of Paul Carrack's "It Ain't Easy" at this concert is a testament to his ability to breathe new life into beloved songs. Just think about the energy in that venue, as Clapton, a master of emotion and guitar, connected with the audience through music—a moment that blends nostalgia with the thrill of live performance.
