Eric Clapton

In January 2015, Eric Clapton performed a live recording titled "Cocaine" at The Royal Albert Hall, part of his concert series celebrating his 70th birthday. Prior to this event, Clapton released the compilation album "The Breeze: An Appreciation of JJ Cale" in 2014, which showcased his admiration for the late musician JJ Cale. This live performance was notable not just for celebrating his milestone birthday but also for its nostalgic connection to Clapton's earlier work, as "Cocaine," written by Cale, has been one of Clapton's signature songs since its original release on the "Slowhand" album in 1977. The concert was a testament to Clapton's enduring legacy and influence in the music world, as he showcased a career-spanning setlist that highlighted both his rock roots and blues influences. The Royal Albert Hall performance is often remembered for its emotional depth and Clapton's evident connection to the music and his audience.
