Eric Clapton

In July 1985, Eric Clapton performed "She's Waiting" at Live Aid, a monumental concert aimed at raising funds for the Ethiopian famine. At this point in his career, Clapton had recently released the album "Behind the Sun" in 1985, which featured a more polished, commercially accessible sound, marking a significant moment in his artistic evolution. The performance at Live Aid not only showcased his guitar prowess but also underscored his commitment to humanitarian causes, aligning with the philanthropic spirit of the event. Interestingly, Clapton shared the stage with Phil Collins, who was also performing at the event, highlighting a moment of collaboration among music icons. This live performance reflects Clapton's enduring relevance in the music scene during the mid-1980s and his ability to captivate large audiences with both his music and his advocacy.
