I was always a HUGE Clapton fan until he turned into Phil Collins. That's how it seems sometimes.
He's put out some music in recent years that gives me hope, and by all accounts the Cream re-union showed that he can still play.
I have almost gotten over the Birmingham (Legion Field) show from 1973, where he drunkenly hugged the mic' stand all night rather than play his Strat'.
I know he's got the chops if he wants to show 'em, but that's his call.
Bottom line (for me) - if Derek wasn't in the band, I'd stay home and read.
