Interesting note in Clapton's autobiography about this. "...a dream come true".

Here's the thing I note about this tune

I can tell you when BB is playing.

Anybody competent could be playing Clapton's parts.

Those riffs do not stand out.

Perhaps this is because Clapton gave BB the spotlight, but I don't think so.

BB's guitar playing is a unique voice in music.

Clapton's?

Not so much.

They're both great, of course, but BB is, I think, unique.
