Eric Clapton - 1985-04-21 - Baltimore, MD (FM)

1980s - #4:  For Eric Clapton, 1985 was a year in which he returned to world wide 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. Behind The Sun produced the hits Forever Man and She's Waiting. The former featured a devastating guitar solo reminiscent of Clapton’s days with the Dominoes and Cream, while the latter 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. Clapton launched a world wide tour in support of Behind The Sun, which started and ended in Europe, with stops in the US, Canada and Japan in between.  This FM Broadcast captures him on the US leg of the tour, in Baltimore on April 23, 1985, 39 years ago today.
