I etahi marama i muri i tana tukunga, ka tiimata a Clapton ki te mahi i tana pukaemi e whai ake nei, ahakoa nga tohutohu a nga taote. I te mahi tahi me Tom Dowd, i whakaputaina e ia te mea i whakaarohia e ia ko tana pukaemi "tino kaha" tae noa ki tenei wa, Moni me nga hikareti. I whiriwhiria e Clapton te ingoa o te pukaemi "na te mea koinei anake taku i kite ai i a au e toe ana" i muri i tana whakaoranga tuatahi mai i te haurangi. I te tau 1984 i mahi ia i te pukaemi takitahi a te mema o mua o Pink Floyd a Roger Waters, The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking, ka uru atu ki te haerenga tautoko. Mai i taua wa, he hononga tata a Waters raua ko Clapton. I te tau 2005 i mahi tahi raua mo te Tsunami Relief Fund. I te tau 2006 i mahi ratou i te Highclere Castle, hei awhina i te Countryside Alliance, e takaro ana i nga waahanga e rua o "Wish You Were Here" me "Comfortably Numb". Ko Clapton, inaianei he kaiwhakaari atawhai, i purei i te konohete Live Aid i te John F. Kennedy Stadium i Philadelphia i te 13 o Hurae 1985, e purei ana me Phil Collins, Tim Renwick, Chris Stainton, Jamie Oldaker, Marcy Levy, Shaun Murphy, me Donald 'Duck' Dunn. I a ia e whakawhiwhia ana ki tetahi waahi tata ki nga haora tino nui, i te mea he pai ki a ia. I te wa i ora ai a Clapton mai i ona riri, i haere tonu tana whakaputanga pukaemi i nga tau 1980, tae atu ki te rua i hangaia me Phil Collins, 1985's Behind the Sun, i whakaputa i nga hit "Forever Man" me "She's Waiting", me te 1986's August.  Pātai: He aha te take i mahi tahi ai a Roger Water rāua ko Eric Clapton i te tau 2005?
