Unsure, but I carry it on my shoulder to this day.

Eric Clapton more sucks for his legacy as a Guitar God which he didn't intend anyway (and also for the racism)
Cream still ****ing Rocks

Yeah, greedy. A whole eleven dollars. Wow.

And, yeah, Clapton's best work was definitely with Cream. His work with the Yardbirds was good but I'd rate Jeff Beck a little better, even if he was a flake.
As for his solo stuff, his self titled album and 461 Ocean Boulevard, but otherwise, meh.

Have to rate "Layla", "Wonderful Tonight" but "Tears in Heaven" just makes me want to puke. No offence, as a father I'm sure he was hurting but it seems almost a little like capitalising on a tragedy to me. August and Behind the Sun were half-ok albums (the only ones I have) though what possessed him to duet with Tina Turner I don't know. And Clapton could not really by any metric be called a shredder. There's a reason he's known as "Slowhand".

All she knew is that her hubby bought it in a shop sometime in the 80s and was of no use to her, so why not include it in with some other stuff of his to sell.
The greed lies more in the third-rate musician-coddling and all the self-importance that generates.

I am on her side, however she was advised to stop and basically gave the legal guys the finger, so it's hard to have that much sympathy.

They don't pull any punches in the performance, even though there were only about 200 people in the audience. Added bonus: if you look carefully, you can even see Sean Dunphy in the crowd - he's the guy standing next to Trollheart.

You can tell me by the chip, but you really have to zoom in.
