Roger Waters & Eric Clapton - Thanks For The Ride I & II

After recording “Money And Cigarettes” in 1983, Eric Clapton would not have a stable band for long periods. In late 1983, Eric joined the “ARMS Supergroup”. (ARMS is an acronym for Action Research Into Multiple Sclerosis.) The band played several dates in England and the US to raise money for Multiple Sclerosis research. Also in the band were Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Joe Cocker and Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts of the Rolling Stones. Eric then joined Roger Water’s band (ex-Pink Floyd) for the recording of Waters’ album “The Pros And Cons Of Hitchhiking” (August 1983) and the subsequent 1984 tour. Eric did this against the advice of his manager and signed on as “just the guitar player”.



Live in Isstadion, Stockholm, recorded on 17-06-1984 in the 1984 european tour.
