Introduction

In January 1981, Eric did a short Irish tour. At the end of the tour he also played a single concert at the Rainbow in London, from which he donated the profits to a trust fund administrated by Meg Patterson.

An American tour in support of "Another Ticket" opened in Portland, Oregon on 2nd March. During the eighth concert of the projected 57-date tour, Eric collapsed and he was rushed to St.Paul's United Hospital. The remainder of the dates were cancelled.

Clapton emerged on 9th September, when he appeared at the Amnesty International Comedy Gala "The Secret Policeman's Other Ball". He played together with Jeff Beck on "Further On Up The Road", "Crossroads" and "'Cause We Ended As Lovers".

In October, Eric and his band toured Scandinavia. In Randers, Eric attempted to play saxophone on "Further On Up The Road"!

In late November, the group began the usual tour of Japan.
