FWIW -
I grew up in the era of "Clapton is God"...maybe only ever with a small ’g’ but, regardless, one heck of a fine guitar player and vocalist who has improved with age like a fine wine. Loved him in Cream; fell out over his initial post-Cream solo recordings. Fell back in love when I watched the 2005 Cream Reunion at The Royal Albert Hall. Anyone who thinks this "power trio" never figured out ensemble playing hasn’t really listened to this concert. I'm sorry to hear of his age-related health issues. Getting old ain't for the weak.
