Same as the Clapton/Winwood shows back in 2010. Sad, cause thats a fantastic song and it always get the shaft. Great Clapton riff, incredible Winwood vocals, and driving Baker drumming.Quote

Definitely one of the best shows I have ever seen.
Besides the amazing Cream set, almost the full Blind Faith album (I think only Sea of Joy missing)

Best Clapton show I have seen. Top 5 concert ever.

An evening of Cream & Blind Faith re-revisited by Eric & Co. It kind of felt like a combination of the 2005 Cream Reunion and the subsequent years’ Clapton/Winwood tours 2008-2011. Moreover, some songs that weren’t performed on those occasions thrown in — that is, Strange Brew, I Feel Free, Blue Condition and Do What You Like. Also, Tales Of Brave Ulysses had only been revived at the Cream Reunion MSG, but not RAH. A fantastic night indeed.
That being said, I have something to add —Quote

The above comment by daspyknows sounds somewhat far fetched to me. I have seen Eric live almost over the five decades since mid-70’s — more than a hundred shows in total to this day. Out of these shows I attended, I can easily count at least twenty shows that are better than this one, probably more.
Eric played well last night — but it is an undeniable fact that his best days as a performing guitarist are behind, sad to say. Time waits for no one — even God.

I didn't get to see anything in the 70's and a few in the 80's. Most of my Clapton show have been from the past 15 years and aside from the London Cream reunion (I didn't attend) there was not a show out of the 50 or so that I have seen that matched this.

I would second that, it was indeed rather amazing. And I was lucky enough to see one of the four CREAM reunion shows in 2005 at the RAH ...
Lovely slide guitar contribution from our very own SIR Ronnie Wood !!

Stray thoughts watching the videos thus far:
Eric sounds great on Sunshine of Your Love and Badge. Its a really spirited version of Badge, with a false ending even. And Ronnie doing the boogie woogie. Really great.
Nuts how many are gone as you listen. Eric is the only remaining Cream member (again, insane to think of how strung out he was at so many different times in his career and has someone lived to eulogize them all), George Harrison is gone when I'm listening to Badge and getting a tear to my eye. Rick Wright is dead when I watch Roger Waters. Ugh, its hard to lose my rock and roll legends. Thats why, even if it sucked which thankfully it didn't, its so historic to have all these guys on one stage.
