On Monday 20th February 1995 I travelled to London's Royal Albert Hall to see ERIC CLAPTON perform one of his regular concerts at this venue. I call this the Eric Clapton Proms because he had played this venue at the same time of year for at least ten years. This was an excelent concert, and deffinitely one of my favourites as he is the best and most versatile guitarist I know.

At this concert he performed tracks from the then current album FROM THE CRADLE as well as other blues classics. The track listing included "Hoochie Coochie Man", "I'm Tore Down", "Sinner's Prayer", "Motherless Child", "Malted Milk", "Born Under A Bad Sign", "Someday After A While", "It Hurts Me Too", "Fourty Four", "Five Long Years", "Crossroads", "Ain't Nobody's Business", and "Got My Mojo Working".
