Wonderful version of my long-time favourite. Aggressive and with an astonishing solo

How Many Times 28 June 85

Eric Clapton : I Shot the Sheriff - Holmdel, NJ 28th June 1985

Fantastic version of 'Sheriff' where the extended solo just goes on and on.

Eric Clapton - 'I Shot The Sheriff' Brussels 1977

When I originally decided to upload a track from this show, the choice was between 'Old Love' & 'Sheriff'. Now here's the 'Sheriff' and still a stonking version, irrespective of the flub near the end.

Greatest Hits And Best Friends - CD 1

I Shot The Sheriff - RAH 21st May 2011

Brussels '78.11.19 Cowboy In The National MVR

I'll Make Love To You Anytime - EC Brussels 1978

Felt like this was worthy of a re-listen. Eric on fire on the European leg of his 'Nothing But The Blues'. Great playing with a lot of passion. I always make the analogy that this sounds like a runaway train, thundering on the rails with no stopping. One of my favourite-ever versions

Eric Clapton - 1995-04-15 - Ghent, Flanders Expo

Every Day I Have the Blues - Gent, Belgium 1995

Old Love (Dublin 31st Jan 1991)

Without doubt one of the finest versions of this Otis Rush classic that Eric has ever played. For some reason he always plays well in Northern Europe and especially Gent. Luckily this show was recorded and aided by the technical wizardry of our friend Niels, you have here a musical masterpiece
