Slipping off his guitar, Clapton said paternally, "Be cool. I'll play you something to calm you down. God bless you, let's everybody stand back." Amazingly, they did, and he played Presence of the Lord. It was a rare reversal of the atmosphere rock stars labor to generate. The usual formula is to arouse the crowd early in a concert and then feed on the flow of energy...
