His musical journey spans some five decades including stints with such seminal bands as The Yardbirds, Cream, Blind Faith, and Derek and the Dominos, culminating with a hugely successful solo career.

Ahhh, Robert Randolph is a great band too, wish I could go :P He's playing in NY in a while, but I'm here, and broke, hehe.
Wow at "Eric Clapton and special guest Robert Randolph & The Family Band"...Robert Randolph is incredible. Can't imagine how cool it'd be to see him and the great Eric Clapton playing together.
The first time I saw Clapton Robert Randoplh opened for him, and it was amazing. And then for the finale, he came back on and they jammed Sunshine of Your Love, Randolph almost played Clapton off the stage :P
Anyone here go to the Madison Square Garden show?
I wish I could have went...I've heard it was incredible, a true highlight of this tour.
I downloaded the first of the Clapton/Winwood shows. Have only listened to two songs so far--"Double Trouble" and "Voodoo Chile". Both sounded great. Clapton playing "Voodoo Chile" was surprising. Steve played organ on the original from Electric Ladyland, so that probably had a lot to do with it. They played a few Hendrix numbers, actually.
Clapton has recently announced dates for a handful of cities. One is in Tampa which I'll definitely be attending.
