A propos des WHO & de CLAPTON, ça fait longtemps que j’attends une confirmation pour ceci : J’avais lu dans un mag, je ne sais plus lequel, que Clapton aurait accompagné les Who en 1972 pour un concert dans le sud de la France, mais en backstage seulement, vu son état… il y aurait même eu des coupures de courant dû à l’impressionnante puissance sonore déballée par le groupe.
En regardant le guide des concerts des Who de cette époque sur le net, la date correspondrait au 10 sept 1972 au Palais Des Sports de Lyon. Mais aucune info pour ce concert.
Par contre, le jour avant ils étaient à Paris, et voilà ce que j’ai pu lire de ce concert :
Sat, 09 September 1972:
Paris, Open Air
Setlist : I Can't Explain; Summertime Blues; My Wife; Baba O'Riley; Behind Blue Eyes; Bargain; Won't Get Fooled Again; Magic Bus; Relay; Pinball Wizard; See Me Feel Me; My Generation; Naked Eye; Long Live Rock

Just after Golden Earrings and Country Joe Mc Donald, the WHO appears finally on the large scene of the feast. Pete townshend enter with a big orange juice glass in his hand follow-up by Keith Moon, Roger Daltrey and John Entwistle.
I am just right in front of the scene, slightly on the side of Pete!! The weather is not that good but it doesn’t rain ( at least not yet!!!)
One plunges in the past with "I Can't Explain" which resounds agreeably to my ears. The Les Paul guitar of Pete circles in any direction. Energetic "Summertime Blues" follows. Then, Entwistle approaches the microphone to sing "My Wife". Immense crowd really starts to be excited. WHO machine is definitively launched, and the titles goes at a tremendous speed: "Baba O'Riley, Behind Blue Eyes, Bargain, Won't Get Fooled Again, Magic Bus, The Relay, Pinball Wizard, See Me Feel Me, My Generation, Naked Eye, Long Live Rock'n'roll" ... but all of a sudden, the feast of Humanity is in the dark. No electricity. And it is in an indescribable environment which everyone rises behind me to listen to Pete Townshend who announce in a speaking pipe that the WHO will return on stage as soon as the electricity came back. But after ten minutes the festival was always without lights. Then rain started to fall. The festival was definitively finished, but on that special evening, I saw the WHO in a dazzling form and few more songs would have filled me.
For the "small history" I’ve read in a french magazine (Maxipop) that during all the concert, a bearded Eric Clapton was on the right side of the stage, invited by Pete.
All the concert has been filmed. I remember that two cameramans were on the left and right side of the stage. All the concerts was organised by Radio TéléLuxembourg (RTL).
