"Perhaps the quintessential Eric Clapton scrapbook of remembrances with cool photos to mark each venue. I loved the addition of play or set lists and guest appearances. Awesome book for fans of Eric." — Ausable River Arts
For over five decades, Eric Clapton has ranked among rock's premiere guitarists — and since the early 1980s, famed music photographer Gene Shaw has been capturing great moments from Slowhand's electrifying career. More than 150 of Shaw's rare color and black-and-white photographs offer a front-row fan's perspective on many legendary musical events. Highlights include Clapton's performance at the 1983 ARMS benefit; the 1992 show with Elton John at Shea Stadium; the 2005 Cream reunions at the Royal Albert Hall and Madison Square Garden; several appearances at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremonies; and the current Crossroads Guitar Festivals.
The majority of the photographs have never been published before and capture rare and intimate moments.
