Pappy, I could not agree with you more that WDLGTBSS is Eric at his finest. D& D Live @ Fillmore East is not only my all-time fave Clapton CD, it's my fave CD, period, and WDLGTBSS is a masterpiece in a masterpiece. The guitar playing is superb. Plus, his vocals blow me away, as one can just feel the anguish & torment in his voice since he's got it so bad for Patti Boyd, but she's married to his best friend, Geo Harrison. His pain is the real deal.
The Who's "Tommy" was referred to as a rock opera. You could call D&D @ Fillmore a rock soap opera.
