From his "Behind The Sun Tour" from 1985, Clapton opens up this performance with an epic freestyle over the claps of the crowd, syndicating his knack for running with whatever is handed to him in the heat of the performance. Capping off his spontaneous solo is a rendition of J.J. Cale’s 1976 blues rock song “Cocaine,” where Clapton manages a cover that is the closest thing to perfect in terms of live music performance. Clapton shreds solos over the precise instrumentation of his backing band, providing an immense live music experience.

A true musical genius ! And his idea for Beat it to have Eddie Van Halen on it.
You can't overstate his genius. Many people bring up Michael Jackson, but Q produced so much more. My personal favorite is Frank Sinatra's rendition of Fly Me to the Moon, which as you may know was heavily associated with the Apollo space program
Picture of Q presenting platinum copies of Frank's album to legendary NASA astronauts John Glenn and Apollo 11 Commander Neil Armstrong
But you had to play it cool, had to do it your way Had to be a fool, had to throw it all away
