If only Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker were with him for this performance! Imagine if Cream had reunited at Live Aid!

Who’s are still enjoying this song, I am the one, today is 20/5/25 at the Sydney home with a cup of coffee and blueberries cheesecake 😊

Phil Collins is that good on the drums that he literally watches the other drummer to play in time with him just to make it sound absolutely perfect

That was the good old 80's never see these days again.

I was there at age 17. It was incredibly hot that day and things were starting to cool off around sunset when Clapton came on. Phil Collins had just arrived via the Concorde. Looking back, 35 years later (how?), it was the best concert of my life.

This song is so empty without ginger baker. Truly the greatest

[TheRealRedRooster]

Eric Clapton on guitar, Phil Collins on drums, doesn't get much better than that...

[bendover-ih]

pretty sure this was the first gig he ever did completely sober - and he was incredibly nervous. he also got an electrical shock from the mic when he started singing :D

[gerstelb]

And this was probably the first time he’d played this song in concert in about 17 years...

This American 🇺🇸 thanks the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 for Eric Clapton! ❤

Listening to this performance makes one appreciate Ginger Baker's drumming genius even more than before.

[cgavin]

Dude has been his own tribute act for 50 years.
Not bad going!

[aadityarajbhandari]

Phil Collins performed with Sting, Eric Clapton and Led Zeppelin on the same day. And in 2 different continents!

[supertramp]

[cobra_shetty]

That killer solo is amazing, Eric clapton rocks

[alexbowman]

This performance put 6 Clapton albums into the US charts making him a lot of money.

[mrjw]

Eric was born to play the guitar, great player.

[CiscoDuck]

RIP Mr Jamie Oldaker 07-16-2020 You were an awesome drummer sir and the pride of Tulsa!

[headbanger]

No comment can undermine the highlight of this song that is the guitar solo, absolutely phenomenal

[andygrabia]

No one wants to mention that Donald "Duck" Dunn is playing bass, and Tim Renwick is on guitar? That's an impressive backing group.
