Eric Clapton concert 9/2/2007
Totally awesome in every way. I've seen EC a number of times and each is getting better.
He played superbly and I thought a very well balanced sharing of leads with Doyle and Derek that no one should whinge about. I've admired Doyle for a number of years starting when he toured here with Long John Baldry, God rest his soul. He was great then and is better still. Derek was brilliant doing his slides solos especially. He was so relaxed up there on stage you knew he had the stuff.
With the songs flying through the night it is hard to spot a favorite although I was moved to hear Wonderful Tonight, and followed by the full version of Layla. Chris Stainton didn't disappoint in the least soloing in Layla.
The ol' prostates were giving a few the loss of some memorable notes from the Masters, let alone distraction to the rest of us.
Whilst I think of it not much has been mentioned of Mia Dyson doing one of the best support acts to come out of Australia. Real pleasure to hear a new talent. Reminiscent of Bonnie Rait who I adore. Will certainly be checking her discography in the next few days.
Of course anybody that put in his two bobs worth has some input to the setlist and I'll only that I would've liked at least one song from Back Home.
As for lows, I thought he could've come out with Cocaine to get the crowd bopping, although as I previously mentioned their Incontinence probably would've given them grief to stand up and cheer. Plus the Encore should've cranked the amps up and give the 2 songs some grit to go out on.
To conclude I would say tonight was his best, and sincerely hope he comes back real soon, maybe to just jam with Doyle playing some raw ol' blues. Oh of course in my backyard purely for me and my mates.
