Watch this on Full Screen because it's in HD thanks to You Tube Editor.
I created this video with the YouTube Video Editor (http://www.youtube.com/editor) I paid 40 dollars for my ticket to Friday's show and Eric was solid,Jeff stole the show and Jimmy got the biggest applause on that day. Just like in this video. I wish i had a copy of Friday's show and if you have it please contact me. The difference between the 2 shows is that Ronnie didn't perform with Eric but he climbed down from his seat behind the stage to join the band for Layla,Little Help From My Friends and Goodnight Irene.

A.R.M.S. Concert http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARMS_concert
The idea for hosting the concert was envisaged by Ronnie Lane, ex-bassist for The Small Faces and The Faces, himself a casualty of multiple sclerosis. The concert was billed as The Ronnie Lane Appeal for ARMS and featured a star-studded line-up of British musicians, including Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Steve Winwood, John Paul Jones, Andy Fairweather-Low, Bill Wyman, Kenney Jones and Charlie Watts. The concert was particularly notable in the fact that it was the first occasion on which Clapton, Beck and Page, each a former lead guitarist for The Yardbirds, had performed together on stage.
The ARMS charity concert proved so popular with both the audience and the musicians that the decision was taken to perform a further nine concerts in the USA. The US dates included Joe Cocker, who notably sang lead vocals on "With a Little Help from My Friends", and Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page each shared lead guitar duties on the "Stairway to Heaven" instrumental. While Ronnie Lane appeared in New York, he did not appear at all of the US dates. They played in San Francisco at the Cow Palace on December 2, 1983 for three sold out shows. Also, Steve Winwood was unable to do the American shows and Paul Rodgers was now playing in Page's set. (They later formed The Firm together.)
