  1. Great video as ever. The Old Grey Whistle Test performance is both one of his greatest covers of this, but also slightly dispiriting in that he can be on stage full of enough heroin to kill a horse and still play something so difficult to emulate in its fluency.

  2. Not sure if you've seen this version of Tell the Truth, uploaded by George Terrys wife Kitty, who was the back up singer on the tour.
    He's obviously quite drunk and clinging on while playing the solo. this makes it very interesting to watch how on the edge he is, even falling off the odd time. But i love watching it. Very intense. Kitty has some great recordings from those tours on her channel by the way, some incredible concerts,

  3. Magnificent, Mike! πŸ‘ I saw the tv broadcast back in the day and have been a massive Clapton fan ever since πŸ™‚ Drunk as a skunk – Eric, not me (!) his playing blew me away and set me off on a life-long appreciation of his work. This number is a great example of β€˜easy does it’ … or should that be β€˜E.C. does it’? Thank you so much for your superb analysis πŸ™‚
