I muri i tona rerenga, i tūtohutia e ngā tākuta o Hazelden kia kaua a Clapton e whai wāhi ki ngā mahi e pā ana ki tana haurangi, ki te ahotea rānei. I ētahi marama i muri i tana rerenga, ka tīmata a Clapton ki te mahi i tana pukaemi e whai ake nei, ahakoa te whakahau a ngā tākuta. I te mahi tahi me Tom Dowd, i whakaputaina e ia tana pukaemi "te tino kaha" tae noa ki tēnei rā, Money and Cigarettes. I whiriwhiria e Clapton te ingoa o te pukaemi "because that's all I saw myself having left" i muri i tana whakaoranga tuatahi mai i te haurangi. I te tau 1984 i mahi ia i runga i te pukaemi takitahi a te mema o mua o Pink Floyd a Roger Waters, The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking, me te whakauru atu ki te tautoko. Mai i taua wa, he hononga tata tonu a Waters me Clapton. I te tau 2005 i mahi tahi ai raua mo te Tsunami Relief Fund. I te tau 2006 i mahi raua i te awhina o te Castle, i runga i nga whakahau a tākuta.
