Eric Clapton 'From the Cradle' Tour Program (Courtesy of Mike 'Dr. Funk' Ponczek)

An original Eric Clapton "From the Cradle" Tour program from the personal collection of Mike "Dr. Funk" Ponczek — a longtime collaborator in Clapton’s world and a producer on several of his recordings. This is a beautifully produced official tour program from one of Clapton’s most celebrated tours, supporting his landmark 1994 all-blues album.

The program features stunning photography, handwritten-style lyric pages, and an interior press piece with Clapton’s own words about the inspiration behind From the Cradle — his first new release since the Grammy-winning Unplugged. The credits page confirms SHOWCO Concert Sound as the tour’s sound company — a world Mike knew well.

Highlights:

• Official tour program for the From the Cradle world tour
• Cover: intimate close-up portrait of Eric Clapton with handwritten title script
• Interior press spread with handwritten lyrics: "All along this path I tread, my heart betrays my weary head, with nothing but my love to save, from the cradle to the grave…"
• Clapton’s own quotes about the album’s blues roots and his motivation for making it
• Credits page listing SHOWCO Concert Sound as sound company, Vari*Lite Inc, Upstaging Inc, and Senator Coaches
• From the personal archive of Mike "Dr. Funk" Ponczek — Clapton collaborator and music industry veteran
