      Yeah, it sounds like half the song is missing without them. Plus this was when Clapton was going really mellow with his tone. It just lacks the punch his work with Cream and his 70s work had.

      That didn't happen until they played together for the 1st time after 23 years when inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in '93. But -- I was fortunate to see them together at Royal Albert Hall in 2005 on their tour that year. Magical. First time I'd seen them live since 1968! Saw Clapton numerous times, but it took 37 years to see 2 Cream concerts.

      Yes.....and let me say, it wasn't easy for Clapton when both drummers...or one of them crashed a bit too hard where Eric's solo comes in at that traditional tempo to White Room....because Eric's solo eases in quickly, correctly...you can see the look on his face.....with such a large and loud cymbal crash - right there...look for it.......Eric pulled it off anyway and really sound is often the case at live venues......I just think Clapton isn't thrilled to death with playing with two trapset drummers anymore. I feel that Clapton's blues carries a great "appreciation," if you will...to this particular song "White Room"...Our icons are living forever.

    Clapton performing up on stage solo with just an acoustic guitar, a bar stool and a microphone, from an audience prospective, is great. Me personally, im of the opinion Clapton is better on his own. Hands down.

    one of the stand out sets, that day...because its just Clapton being Clapton...and singing/playing all the old shit that we love. I saw him there at JFK, when I was all of 11 yrs old..6 yrs before LIVE AID. And in those days, there was no such thing as security combing thru the crowds to bust people in the crowd for using dope and weed. I saw all of that stuff, sitting on my Uncle's shoulders. Bonnie Raitt opened for him..and to this day, its one of the best concerts Ive ever been to.

    I read this in an article that both Eric and Donald Duck Dunn confessed to each other that they were about to faint because the crowd was colossal. The tunnel that joined the dressing room and stage was filled with endless security. The amps provided were different than what EC's roadie asked for and the heat was killing. And of course, the mic shock during the first line here.... What a great performance it was regardless!
