    Great moment of Clapton and his trio

    "Bad Love" helped Eric Clapton to get out of some obscurity in the 1980's (not exactly a lost decade but close to it, and fans know it). The same team that helped him with his "August" album in 1986, supported him in the 1990 tour and they all appear in this video (bass player Nathan East, keyboard player Greg Philiinghanes, and Phil Collins on the drums and backing vocals). A great band for Clapton, and I prefer them rather than the huge ensembles he formed since then).

    A heartfelt kiss of goodbye to bad relationships that didn't add up to anything is carried with Clapton's voice in a strong manner, with Collins following along in the background. It's emotions at his best, when knowing its time to move on with life. The black-and-white cinematography makes the group a little obscure for a great portion of it all, but it forms a great visual to them - except for Clapton's unusual prominent moustache.

    Memorable because of its great song. 9/10.
