An audience member threw a beer bottle at the stage before the show started & it hit Yvonne Elliman in the hand. Clapton was pissed and almost folded the show. She performed the show with a bandaged hand.
Eric speaks to the audience about the incident at about 3:50 into the intro: "I want the guy that threw the beer bottle to know that he hurt one of my people. So don't throw things, please don't throw things at us."
The second song, "Don't Have To Hurt Nobody" was an impromptu jam inspired by the incident.
During "Willie and the Handjive/Get Ready", Yvonne sings "throwing your f-cking bottles" at about 6:20.

Notice: This recording should not be confused with the series labelled "The Dan Lampinski Tapes Volume XX". This recording represents part of Dan's earliest efforts to capture the live concert experience for posterity, hence the series name "Dan Lampinski - The Early Years Volume XX". Given the very consistent high quality of Dan's later work, it would have been easy to blow off these recordings and consign them to the dustbin of history, but there are quite a few captures in the series that are well worth circulating, if not for their rarity, but for the obsessive collector types (we know who we are) that want every single second of any recordings of their favourite musicians. So please, just accept these recordings for what they are, another part of the tapestry we weave when we collect and share such things.
Since Dan never traded copies of his recordings, they are all essentially uncirculated. Some copies were made for friends, but these releases are the first time most of these recordings have ever seen the light of day, and are direct from his master cassettes. No EQ'ing has been done to any of the transfers. Feel free to EQ, matrix, patch, etc and re-post if you like, just give Dan credit for the original recording.
Dan was very meticulous about taking good care of his tapes and is very pleased that these recordings will now circulate among the trading community. Please honour his kindness and generosity by sharing these recordings freely.

Pissed means drunk. You should have said "pissed off" which means angry.
