Eric Clapton - 1976-08-03 - Plymouth, UK (SBD)

In the summer of 1969, Eric Clapton was on tour as part of Blind Faith, the "super group" he had formed earlier that year with Ginger Baker and Steve Winwood.  Clapton was already growing tired of the group, especially the recurrence of the infighting with Ginger Baker, which previously had plagued the final days of Cream. Perhaps that explains why he and the rest of Blind Faith were on different pages when it came to Woodstock.  EC wanted to play the festival but was over ruled by the rest of the band.  Instead they played a show in Santa Barbara, CA, about as far away from Woodstock as you could get!

This soundboard recording captures Clapton 7 years after Woodstock, on his home turf in the UK, on August 3, 1976, 43 years ago today.
