In a new Rock ‘N’ Roll Hall Of Fame interview, Bonamassa shared his feelings on taking to the stage with Clapton at their Royal Albert Hall performance in 2009. “It was insane,” he said. “I was shocked to find out that he knew who I was.”
Bonamassa went on to praise Clapton’s tone, describing the simple rig Clapton used to bring his ’60s sound to life. “He showed up with a brand-new Custom Shop Strat – it was an Eric Clapton model. Daphne Blue. And he had a brand-new ‘57 reissue tweed [Fender] Twin… And a Monster cable.
“It sounded like Eric Clapton. It sounded like the布鲁斯Breakers.”
