Re: Greatest Live Band (after the GD) |
I was kind of reluctant to respond to this post because your kind of right in that they or Clapton did not play to the crowd. I saw them 3x, Fillmore East,Hunter College and the horribly sounding show in the round at the Spectrum for their farewell tour. Clapton had this habit of just turnining his back on the audience for whatever reason and it had nothing to do w/ getting feedback,so yes as far as working the crowd like Jagger or Daltrey can or others I have to agree.

Re: Greatest Live Band (after the GD) |
clapton admits to being an arrogant jerk in those days. he was selfish, and extremely overcritical of himself. he always strived for perfection, and didn't see the talent in himself that others saw. he was always too jealous of guys like hendrix and page, and he was very irritable.
in later years when he's been sober i've seen him work the crowd a bit, but the playing doesn't compare to his cream days obviously.
