Eric Clapton - Motherless Children

This is a live performance by Eric Clapton. He is joined on stage by Derek Trucks and Doyle Bramhall II. Bramhall and Clapton are playing slide on this tune while Trucks handles the rhythm part which is unusual as Trucks is known for his virtuous slide playing. The performance is from a concert in France from 2006. It's not professionally shot, but the audio is surprisingly good. Also this track is pretty rare for Clapton to do live.
The song is from Clapton's "461 Ocean Boulevard" (1974) album which was a highly successful album from Clapton, also containing Clapton's version of "I Shot the Sheriff" his only #1 hit on the Billboard hot 100.
The lyrics to the song are traditional and ergo have no writer. The arrangement is credited to Clapton and Carl Radle.
The song is basically about mothers and the big impact and love they have on everyone around them. It's also about the void left should a mother die. So I thought it would at the very least be somewhat relevant on mother's day.
It's a great performance and the audio is surprisingly tolerable.

Steve Winwood & Eric Clapton - Can't Find My Way Home

This is a performance from the 2007 Crossroads Guitar Festival, it features Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood together performing the song from their previous band Blind Faith. Blind Faith was a British supergroup consisting of Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker, Steve Winwood and Rich Grech. The band's self-titled album was released in 1969.
The song has been performed on occasion by Clapton. He also played a version of the song where Nathan East did the vocals. Clapton only did backing vocals on the original, and Winwood is singing the song in this version.
The performance is from the 2007 Crossroads Guitar Festival, and in the background Derek Trucks and Doyle Bramhall II are playing rhythm parts on the song.
It's a good performance, and excellently sung by Winwood, a good performance of a good song.
