Have you seen Eric Clapton at his best?

Up until last night I had seen Eric four times and honestly felt I hadn't caught him at his finest. His recent tour gives all of us the opportunity. His set is largely from "Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs" 'cause he has the greatest living slide guitarist playing with him - Derek Trucks. Their interplay on the Layla album songs is truly magical. Catch the concert when it comes your way. Amazing!

I saw Clapton with Cream at Massey Hall in Toronto in 1967, with Blind Faith at Varsity Stadium In Toronto in 1969, and solo a couple of times in the early to mid 70's.
Hard to pick.. they were all great shows.
He is certasinly not the guitarist now, that he was then.
I am not quite as good myself at 57, as I was 40 years ago.

Actually, he was at his best when he was at his worst! Think he can still pull of that guitar solo from Crossroads. It was the Coca Cola, if you know what I mean.
