He did it during his Crossroads Festival in 2004.
And this was a show to raise funds for his Crossroads Centre treatment facility. tA  Tribal Disorder

From a 1998 interview...
Q: Your drug addiction and alcoholism are legendary. "I always have to push myself to the edge.", you once said. CLAPTON: Today I'm frightened by the price I'd have to pay. For ten years I haven't been using drugs anymore, stopped smoking and drinking. Q: But you're still playing your hit "Cocaine". CLAPTON: Actually, that's an anti-drug-song. The fans only listen to the refrain: "She don't lie, she don't lie, cocaine" But it says: "If you wanna get down, down on the ground, cocaine." It's sad how young people destroy themselves with drugs. I hate listening to my old records which I did stoned or drunk. http://www.12bar.de/ftp/t...h_0298.txt tA Tribal Disorder
