Adaptation[edit]
In 2010, it was used as part of an advertisement campaign for a Fender edition of the T-Mobile HTC Magic myTouch 3G telephone.[1] Clapton also appeared in the commercial, and resurrected the song for his North American tour with Roger Daltrey.[2] This re-boosted popularity of the song, and as of February 2010 the song had shifted 112,798 digital downloads in the United States.[3]
