Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Steve Gadd, the drummer, literally wrote the beat for '50 Ways to Leave Your Lover'—he's been on every major tour since the '70s.
The 2014 tour marked Clapton's first extensive Middle Eastern run, deliberately programming dates in Dubai and Abu Dhabi during a period when few Western rock legends risked regional touring.
