A little know fact of this concert is that Eric Clapton, fresh off of his US Blind Faith tour, grabbed his Gibson Les Paul custom (Black Beauty) and pulled off some powerful solos almost worthy of his Cream days. During Yer Blues, Clapton rips an incredible solo, fast and vicious, stunning many people in the crowd who did not even realize Clapton was on lead guitar. He loved being "anonymous" and it was the precursor to his metamorpheses from Guitar deity to invisible sideman, eventually swapping out his famous Gibson sound for a crappy Strat and the rest is history.
