Interesting facts and trivia about Old Love - Live at Royal Albert Hall, London, England, UK, 1990 - 1991. By Songfacts®.

Clapton wrote this song with the blues musician Robert Cray, who plays guitar on the track. It wasn't released as a single, but is one of his most popular songs to play live.

In 1989, after nine years of marriage to Pattie Boyd, Clapton divorced the model and photographer. This song documents the end of their relationship. Boyd told the Guardian newspaper December 13, 2008 that she was hurt that he should write a song about such a sensitive subject. She said: "The end of a relationship is a sad enough thing, but to then have Eric writing about it as well. It makes me more sad, I think, because I can't answer back."

Pattie Boyd has been the inspiration for several well-known songs. Her first husband, George Harrison, wrote "Something" about her, Eric Clapton's then unrequited love for the beautiful model was documented in "Layla" and after they'd moved in together, Clapton penned "Wonderful Tonight" for Boyd.
