The two shows at the Rainbow may have proved a false dawn for Clapton, but they were recorded for a live album, released as Eric Clapton’s Rainbow Concert in 1973.

Eric Clapton: All that time, though, I was running a cassette machine and playing. I had that to hold on to. At the end of that period, I found I had boxes full of playing, as if there was something struggling to survive. Eric Clapton: Alice and I, stoned out of our heads, turned up late [at the Rainbow], to find Pete and [Clapton’s manager Robert] Stigwood tearing their hair out. The reason for our lateness was that Alice had to let out the waist of the trousers of my white suit, because I had taken to eating so much chocolate of late that I couldn’t get them on. Pete Townshend: Eric lost two people that he based his whole life on – Jimi Hendrix and Duane Allman– in fairly close succession. So there were a lot of reasons why he wasn’t working. Ronnie Wood: His [Townshend’s] answer was to put together a concert, and then to convince Steve Winwood and me that it was time to drag Eric out of his reclusion in Surrey and up to London for rehearsals. Which is exactly what we did. We literally dragged Eric out of his house and moved him into mine.Pete Townshend: He obviously had some cash-flow problem, because he was selling guitars… to raise ready cash to buy dope.

All I Need Is a Miracle” is not a Phil Collins song. But had he not become a solo star in the Eighties, giving his Genesis bandmate Mike Rutherford the time and incentive to launch the side project Mike and the Mechanics, the song would not exist. It was the second single off their 1985 self-titled debut and it became a big hit all over the world. Alice Ormsby-Gore: I was desperately running around that city trying to score some heroin for Eric. And I remember thinking how stupid it was for me, even then. I did that for him, and for myself, for three years. It was probably childish to be over-protective, but I thought it helped him not to have to face the full horror, himself, of scoring his own heroin supply. Steve Turner (journalist): Eric told Robert Stigwood he wanted to make an album. Which turned out to be 461 Ocean Boulevard. Eric Clapton: Alice’s father had discovered Meg Patterson and her form of acupuncture treatment. And then, for some reason, I just said: “Okay, I’ll give it a try.” And next thing you know, a very big emotional thing happened to me and I started to really want to live again. When you take a lot of heroin for a long time, you cut down on your ability to feel, your sensitivities shut down, you don’t feel emotions.From there, Clapton rattled off some more familiar tunes, including renditions of the Wailers “I Shot the Sheriff” and Cream’s “White Room.” Eric Clapton: Finally, one of the cameramen came up with this medicine that he took for his ulcers, which turned out to be a heroin substitute, methadone. It got me straight enough so that I could go on stage and play. Roger Taylor, Queen's drummer, fronts the group for a short set of Queen songs. I wasn't especially impressed, not being a Queen fan to begin with, but those who are may find this portion of the concert fun. I realize Taylor sang lead occasionally for Queen, but not on the songs he performs here. It's kind of weird when another member of a band fills in for the deceased frontman. I guess it works as a tribute, but the vocals aren't as good as Freddie Mercury's.

Ronnie Wood (Rolling Stones guitarist and friend of Clapton): He withdrew with Alice Ormsby-Gore, and the two of them stayed stoned on heroin for two years. They became hermits.

We were four separate guys at the beginning of the afternoon, and by the end of the evening we were a band": Paul Rodgers on life with Free, Bad Company, The Firm and Queen Eric Clapton: I came straight off heroin into drinking. It was essential. Woke up most days with a hangover. A version of the classic R&B group The Drifters turns up to perform a pair of songs. "Stand By Me" is, of course, a perennial classic Ben E. King hit that wasn't a Drifters release to begin with – let alone having anything to do with this new version of the group. "Under the Boardwalk," which was sung by the late Johnny Moore during his tenure with the group, is also performed. Somewhat amusingly, these new Drifters come out during "I Can't Dance" and dance like Genesis did in the music video. But otherwise, I really don't know why these pretenders were booked for the show. I would've rather seen more from Clapton or pretty much any of the other performers.Dr Meg Patterson: All drugs were banned from the start of the treatment. We had the co-operation of Lord Harlech and Eric’s manager, Robert Stigwood, who said he wouldn’t give them any money to buy it. Clapton spent his time holed up in his Surrey mansion, Hurtwood Edge, with Ormsby-Gore. In August 1971, a concerned George Harrison convinced him to take part in the Concert For Bangladesh in New York, which he and Ravi Shankar had organised. Brüning, Anneke.
