Topic: Eric Clapton on BBC's Top Gear

Anyone catch this last night? 

The team were road testing the new Vauxhall something-or-other and to check out the car's door speakers got Eric to plug his guitar into the Aux socket and play a few bars of Layla and Sunshine of your Love.  Eric seemed impressed big_smile  big_smile

Re: Eric Clapton on BBC's Top Gear

I taped it and I'll watch it when I get home. The boys at Top Gear have a good ear for good music. Jeremy seems to especially like prog as I've heard Genesis (pre-pop), ELP, Tull, Eno and Van der Graf Generator.

LOVE that show!!
