Eric Clapton

The live recording of "Wonderful Tonight" captured in San Diego is from Eric Clapton’s album "Live in San Diego," which was released in 2007. This album showcases a storied period in Clapton's career marked by both reflective artistry and a deep connection to his musical roots. Just prior to this release, Clapton had issued "Back Home" in 2005, an album that featured a more introspective sound, emphasizing his growth as a songwriter and musician. During the performance in San Diego, Clapton was joined by fellow musician JJ Cale, who had a significant influence on Clapton's sound and songwriting style, particularly evident in Clapton’s rendition of Cale's work. Celebrated for his virtuoso guitar skills, Clapton’s live performances during this time highlighted not only his technical prowess but also his enduring love for the blues, which he infused into tracks like "Wonderful Tonight."
