In 1968, Eric Clapton
was at a crossroads. A virtuoso lead guitarist and the crown prince of
heavy rock, with Cream he had quickly risen to the very pinnacle of
popular music's hierarchy. Yet his exposure to the work of American
mavericks The Band led him to lose faith in his own group, and to embark
on a bold musical journey across the following decade.
This film, from the makers of Eric Clapton - The 1960s Review, follows
Clapton's journey through the seventies, from his immersion in musical
collectives such as Delaney & Bonnie & Friends and Derek and the
Dominos, through his re-emergence in 1974 as a phenomenally successful
solo artist and onwards across a series of critically acclaimed albums
and tours in the latter half of the decade which cemented EC's
reputation as not just an extraordinary musician but as a composer of
majestic material and a performer of quite startling intensity.
Featuring
new and archive interviews, rare performance footage, contributions
from the likes of Bonnie Bramlett, Bobby Whitlock, The Albert Brothers ,
George Terry, Willie Perkins, Bill Halverson, Clapton biographer Marc
Roberty and more, plus a host of other features.
