Eric Clapton - Live In San Diego with special guest JJ Cale. Recorded in March 15th in 2007. Very special indeed, despite their names being commonly associated with each other through songs since the 70s, this is in fact only the third time .they shared the stage.

Dunyvaig from the Silver Seal Whisky Company. A 23yo Islay Single Malt distilled in 1990 and bottled in 2013 at 55.1% abv. I have no idea which distillery, although the name suggests a Lagavulin. Sláinte 🥃.

Clapton holds JJ Cale to the highest esteem, with the latter writing songs made famous by EC, including Cocaine and After Midnight. The somewhat reclusive Cale agreed to join Clapton for part of a concert in San Diego.

“It’s well-known how John preferred to stay under the radar in most anything that had to do with the ‘big-time’ in the music biz. But I went with him to that concert, and when I see pictures of that night, I remember how much fun John had. It was so special for him to be there, and Eric is the reason. John just enjoyed him and liked it when they were playing music together. I think that warmth is captured in this gig...” - Christine Lakeland Cale.
