1964

In 1964, The Yardbirds spent most of the year touring the clubs in the London area. In the month of July they had a hotel engagement in Lugano, Switzerland, followed by several other club appearances in the London area, again. They played at the 2nd Scottish Jazz and Blues Festival and the 4th National Jazz and Blues Festival. On 18th September, the Yardbirds began a package tour with Billy J. Kramer, Cliff Bennett and the Nashville Teens. These would consist of a headline act with five or six support artists. They would perform their lastest single and perhaps one other number and then they were off. After a second package tour they ended the year as the opening act on the Beatles' Christmas concerts.

1965

The Yardbirds started the year 1965 as the opening act on the Beatles' Christmas concerts, which continued from last year and ended at 16th of January.

From January to March 1965, The Yardbirds continued their one-nighters in the London area. Eric's dissatisfaction concerning the Yardbirds' musical style grew more and more. Finally, he was asked to leave the band. Eric's last performance with the Yardbirds was on March 3, 1965 at Corn Exchange in Bristol, Gloucestershire.

In April 1965, Eric was asked by John Mayall to join his band, John Mayall's Blues Breakers. They played one-nighter circuit of colleges and R&B clubs in the areas of London, Manchester and Liverpool, up to August 1965.

At the end of August 1965, Eric left the Bluesbreakers (temporarily). During a heavy drinking session together with Ben Palmer and others, they formed a new group, The Glands. They planned touring the world. Their first stop was Athens (Greece), hence their alternative name, the Greek Loon Band. They got a job in a nightclub in Athens playing support to the local headliners, the Juniors.

After his abortive "Greek odyssey", on 6th November 1965, Eric rejoined John Mayall's Blues Breakers, where he would stay until July 1966. They continued playing one-nighter circuit of colleges, ballrooms and R&B clubs.

1966 Introduction

From January to July 1966, EC played club dates with John Mayall. Clapton's scorching club performances in London during this time quickly established a cult following for the young guitarrist. "Clapton Is God" graffiti began appearing around the city, defining a central tenet of Clapton mythology to this day.

John regularly taped the gigs with his 2-track reel-to-reel, bad sadly these tapes were detroyed in a fire in 1979 at his Laurel Canyon home, only 30 minutes of a show in the Flamingo survived and were later released as an official John Mayall album.

Late July 1966, Eric joined Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce to form Cream. All three rehearsed secretly in Baker's home and at the nearby Scott Hall in London-Willesden. Cream's unofficial debut was Friday, 29 July 1966 at the Twisted Wheel in Manchester, and their official debut Sunday, 31 July 1966 at the 6th National Jazz & Blues Festival, Windsor. From August 1966 through the end of the year, Cream played one-nighter circuit of colleges, ballrooms and R&B clubs. In addition, they did some promotion including several live radio and television sessions. During the television appearances, they mostly mimed to playback.

1968

Cream started the year 1968 by playing for a BBC session in January, and continuing gigs in England and Scandinavia.

In February, they went to America for a tour that was due to last several months. Early in April, it was announced that the tour had been extended until June; the largest tour ever by a British group. After the tour had ended, it was announced that Cream will break up after a fareweel tour of America, again.

Cream began their farewell tour in October 1968. On 2nd November, 22,000 people attended their concert at Madison Square Garden, where Cream received the first platinum record in rock history for "Wheels Of Fire".

On 26th November at the Albert Hall, Cream played their last date, a second show had been added when the first sold out in two hours. Their set contained no surprises, but a selection of favourites. The shows were a resounding success and in the post gig euphoria the band even reconsidered their decision of break up. Despite their exuberant Royal Albert Hall finale, Cream dissolution was complete.

The last apparence of the year was a studio session on 10th - 12th December at the Rolling Stones' Rock And Roll Circus, playing in an one-off supergroup, called Winston Legthigh And The Dirty Macs, alongside John Lennon, Keith Richards and Mitch Mitchell.

1969

Blind Faith made their debut gig in London's Hyde Park at a free concert in front of an estimated crowd of 100,000 fans. The concert was not particularly good, but the highlights were the unexpected version of "Under My Thumb" and Eric's amazing solo in "Sleeping in the Ground".

A short Scandinavian tour followed before a huge US tour. Blind Faith's American tour opened at the Newport Jazz festival on 11th July. The tour turned to be a disaster, at Madison Square Garden in New York there were riots, and everywhere there were disappointed audiences.

Clapton's first public appearence after returning from Blind Faith's American tour was as a member of the Plastic Ono Band, when John Lennon phoned to ask him to join the line-up for the Toronto Rock and Roll Revival. The long houl over the ocean witnessed a comical effort to rehearse with unamplified electric guitar in the first-class cabin of the jet. They played rock'n'roll oldies for half an hour before Yoko joined in.

While Blind Faith had been on the road, they were supported by American white soul act Delaney and Bonnie. Eric began spending more and more time with Delaney and his band, traveling from gig to gig on their bus and popping up the stage during their sets. Clapton sponsored a tour for Delaney and Bonnie in November and played on stage with them. They started in Germany, and went on to the UK and Scandinavia.

In Germany, they had a disastrous reception. The UK tour, which opened at the Royal Albert Hall on 1st December, was uneventful and George Harrison joined them for most of the UK dates.
