Eric Clapton - 1985-06-21 - Toronto, Canada (SBD) 

Long time followers of So Many Roads know that we have featured several shows from Clapton’s 1985 tour, and with good reason. For Eric Clapton, 1985 was a year in which he returned to worldwide prominence. Working with Phi Collins, he released the album, Behind The Sun, in March 1985, which was a huge improvement of his previous effort, 1983’s Money and Cigarettes. It was also his first album after spending time in rehab for his addiction to alcohol. Fueled by the single Forever Man, which received extensive play both on radio and on MTV, Behind The Sun climbed into the top 40 on the Billboard charts. The album also yielded the single, She's Waiting, which was included as part of EC’s set at Live Aid in July 1985. That Live Aid appearance, which also included White Room and Layla, showed the world a healthy and rejuvenated Slowhand, who could still play with the best of them. This soundboard captures EC on June 21, 1985, 33 years ago today, in Toronto. Download this one to hear EC on the tour where he returned to the top of the rock world.
