You know, I've been using CoolEdit for eons to record stuff. Actually I have an old copy of Cooledit Pro that I've used as my role as an editor of an online sci-fi audio drama. I much prefer it over Audacity. Anyway, when I went to go and "capture" this stream, I was on my laptop, which lacks a proper sound card to capture anything at all. Unless you use a USB sound card hooked to the headphone output... which is what I did. And then had to use the filters in CoolEdit to remove the resulting hum I got. The result was pretty nice sounding though.

Anyway, I agree with Bill, I think Clapton would do it better in recent years than he did it then. Nevertheless I thought it was a decent cover of a very nice GL song.
