My mom saw Clapton in concert in 1974 and he was so stoned out of his mind that he mumbled through the lyrics, but could still play like a dream. So if you were there for a guitar clinic you got what you paid for...if you were there for entertainment...it was not that.

The nimble, high-paced guitar work doesn't really appear much on his records post-1970, & I assume that is a big part of Jeff's point. Even good riffs like Cocaine or Bad Love or the beer-commercial take on After Midnight sound nothing like, say, Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad?
