Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood at the Crossroads Guitar Festival 2007, with Derek Trucks and Doyle Bramhall.
I saw Clapton once on his “Slow Hand” tour, but he did not play this one.
Blind Faith were an English supergroup featuring Steve Winwood, Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker, and Ric Grech. They were eagerly anticipated by the music press following on the success of each of the member's former bands, including Clapton and Baker's former group Cream and Winwood's former group Traffic, but they split after a few months, producing only one album and a three-month long summer tour.

Steve Winwood: The most under-rated musician in the history of rock ‘n’ roll.
In 1970, the the youth group at our church was allowed to choose the music for a Sunday service, so they chose that tune. Afterwards, some parishioner complained that he didn’t like that song by “those Negroes.”
Years back, Clapton said he sold his soul to Satan
Bwahahahahahahahahahaha
I never heard that. Clapton wrote this song, he said, as a testament to his faith.
Bwahahahahahahahahahaha
That was a grand set - thanks for posting it!
I got to see EC again in the Fall of 2021. No masks required. He was great! And so was Jimmy Vaughn as the warm up.
Anybody notice that was Derek Trucks playing slide guitar there?
