We were recently talking about Eric Clapton at band practice – mainly how his live peak came with his Derek and the Dominos stuff. But he might have tossed in a few rocking performances later on in the seventies. Anyway, here’s a pretty ripping live version of a track you don’t here too often - “The Core,” with Eric Clapton and Marcy Levy dueting on vocals.
MP3: The Core – Eric Clapton
One of my all-time favorite guitarists, Eric Clapton, has just released a memoir – the aptly titled Clapton. And I’m pretty tempted to order it, if it really is as “remarkably frank,” as EW.com reviews it. One of the excerpts in this week’s issue -“Clapton says he told George Harrison he’d play the 1971 Concert for Bangladesh only if provided a steady supply of heroin. But Clapton experienced “cold turkey” on the eve of the shows when the smack turned out to be “a tenth as strong as what I was used to.”
