Did Eric Clapton play at Woodstock?

Answer 1

clapton auditioned...he among others went to play with The Rolling Stones in auditions, but instead of him, Ronnie wood of the faces got the slot.

Answer 2

he was in the yardbirds, then john mayall and the bluesbreakers, then cream then blind faith then derek and the dominoes before going solo. i cant believe someone asked if Eric clapton ever had a band

His first band was the roosters

Answer 3

The band Traffic was composed primarily by Steve Winwood, Jim Capaldi, Chris Wood and Dave Mason. The only connection to Eric Clapton that I can find is the fact that after Traffic broke up Eric Clapton was in the band Blind Faith with Steve Winwood (who was in Traffic) along with Ginger Baker and Ric Grech. Blind Faith recorded one album and was active only in the year 1969. So I believe the answer is no Eric was never featured in a song by Traffic. However Clapton has played with so many artists if you can find a song that says that it features him I'd like to know.

Answer 4

According to Paul McCartney in his Atlanta concert Saturday night, Clapton was there...he didnt say that he actually played on stage though..just that Jimmy Hendrix asked him to tune his guitar during his performance

Answer 5

He has never played FOR Dire Straits but was a guest artist at several live DS concerts.
