EC gave a substantial number of interviews worldwide during the Journeyman period/tour.....this is simply a very polite yet warm interview; really nice from both gentleman.

The guy interviewing Eric reminds me of the Saturday Night Live Sketch when "Chris Farley" interviewed Paul McCartney.

[@5150show]

[@PhilosopherThom]

This is a really pleasant interview!

[@riffdigger2133]

I took a screenshot of Eric holding the Beano album at 2:42. It’s a cool interview with the age difference and the generation difference. Eric is complex and to see the intensity in his eyes and expression during this period of his life is a story of survival. Tears in Heaven and Connor’s loss would be fast approaching.

Eric just cringed (and so did I) when this guy said "George Harris"

[@meneerjansen4095]

How nervous would you be?

[@benjic80]

Lighten up. George Harris wrote some good tunes.

Eric Patrick Clapton (Ripley, Surrey, Inglaterra, 30 de marzo de 1945), más conocido como Eric Clapton, es un guitarrista, cantante y compositor de rock y blues británico, conocido por su magistral habilidad con la guitarra eléctrica, en concreto con su Stratocaster.[2]​ Apodado Slowhand (‘mano lenta’),[1]​ desde su época en The Yardbirds, y God (‘Dios’) en su época con Cream, es miembro del Salón de la Fama del Rock and Roll por partida triple: como miembro de The Yardbirds y de Cream y por su carrera como solista. En opinión de muchos críticos, ha sido uno de los artistas de la cultura de masas más respetados e influyentes de todos los tiempos.[3]​ Aparece en el puesto número 2 de la lista "Los 100 guitarristas más grandes de todos los tiempos" de la revista Rolling Stone[4]​ y en el puesto número 55 de su especial "Inmortales: Los 100 artistas más grandes de todos los tiempos".[5]​ Además, en 2005 la revista Guitar World incluyó cinco de sus canciones entre los mejores solos de guitarra de todos los tiempos.

First time I hear him acknowledge Jimmy Page

[@robmorrison1043]

Why should he, Page couldn't carry his guitar strap.
Not in the same Stratosphere as Clapton.

@@robmorrison1043don’t be daft

[@micheleatlilacsrust5785]

@2:29 Clapton looks pissed. Hilarious, But I give him credit......the guy interviewing him (did he say George HARRIS @ 0:46 AND "crawled on stage" @ 1:51???) was too green to interview a musician of Clapton's caliber. But let's just take a minute to admire his look??? Gorgeous.

[@BarrySwords]

If this is countdown then where's Richard and Carol?

That young man needs to work on his interviewing technique; he's very unsteady.

[@ArthurRJ-Racing]

It was in 1989 but he'll be thankful for your advice.

[@justafanintexas7913]

And what has he done since? Just curious......

[@jasonkeith9317]

justafanintexas he's interviewing eric clapton I'm sure he's nervous!

[@pabloperez4063]

he doesnt look like nervous

[@dennisbennett302]

Not the best of Eric Clapton interviews terrible to say the least

[@SpaceCattttt]

Clapton is God!!
"Nah, I'm Jesus."

[@Sdutt_author]

He would have hated the Beano stunt, anything to remind him of the past
