He was great at MSG recently with Steve Winwood. I also like the return to roots stuff he did a few years ago. I passed on the Cream reunion--I personally have had my fill of White Room, Sunshine, etc. IMO those tunes don't hold it for me anymore.
I think his vocal phrasing has improved tons over the years. His guitar playing has been constant in that he is true to the blues form, and I do think sobriety fits him well.

I saw Clapton back in 2007 in Dallas Tx and it was an amazing show. He played alot of stuff from rhe Dereck and the Donimos era of his career, plus an awesome mimi acoustic bit. He was playing with Doyle Bramhall II and Derek Trucks so the band was incredible. "wonderful tonight" "Layla", "tell the truth" "Little wing (Hendeix), "Running on faith" and cross roads with Robert Cray were definite highlights for me. I hope to see Clapton again in the near future.
Not sure what Clapton is playing now setlist wise, but he is amazing. Have a great time.

the band was really tight. Brillant guitar player with him and he had Paul McCartney's drummer.
that was Doyle Bramhall II on the guitar with Clapton. He has been opening and now playing with Eric since 2001
A Texas native whose dad was Stevie Ray Vaughan's songwriting partner and was also in a band in the 90s called the Arc Angels with Charlie Sexton. A funny thing about Doyle, he plays guitar left-handed but his guitars are strung as if to be played by a right handed player. In other words, the low E string is at the bottom of his guitar, and the high string at the top.
