Clapton is celebrating his 70th birthday all year long—including an extended (seven-night) run in May at the Royal Albert Hall, where he first performed 50 years ago with the Yardbirds. You know what they say: Clapton is God, and his playing is as divine as ever as you hear and watch him play his pop hits plus the blues classics that first made him pick up a guitar: "Layla," "Cocaine," "Crossroads," "Wonderful Tonight," "Let It Rain," "Key to the Highway," "Tears in Heaven," "I Shot the Sheriff," "Driftin’ Blues," "Pretending," "Tell the Truth" and more. The bonus DVD in the deluxe edition takes us back to Eric’s most memorable moments at the Royal Albert Hall across the years: Cream’s 1968 farewell tour, the Journeyman Tour from 1990, Cream’s 2005 reunion shows and more. That deluxe set comes in a 12" x 12" 60-page hardback photo book. Happy birthday to one of rock’s most revered guitar heroes! Eagle Rock.
