Im not that impressed. It was very short. Who ends a show at 10:30 with only one encore song....Also, I went to see Clapton play the guitar, he was not even playing half the time..I would rate it a 5 out of 10 723889@blogcritics.org Thu, 5 Jun 2008 14:09:54 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/05/04/222041.php#comment-723768 Glad you folks enjoyed the show, but he's clearly focusing on his hardcore fans. I saw EC in Boston last night. Excellent musicianship to be sure, but we heard too many blues songs for my liking. My wife and I know and love the hits and some of his blues and acoustic slower tunes. I like some of them, but the playlist was skewed away from the hits, until later, perhaps. We stayed for about 10 songs, 3 or 4 of which I knew. We were among the many who left early. That's the "risk" a casual fan takes on this tour, I suppose. Bummer, as we only see one or two concerts a year. 723768@blogcritics.org Thu, 5 Jun 2008 07:17:43 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/05/04/222041.php#comment-715702 I agree that this is Clapton's finest hour. And Bramhall 2nd is already a self-made man (not a Clapton in the making), which is why, I think, Eric shares his stage with him.. 715702@blogcritics.org Tue, 6 May 2008 08:33:29 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/05/04/222041.php#comment-715624 My husband and I were there - it was magical. We have seen Clapton before, this was by far the best performance we have seen. The opening act was great and Doyle Bramhall II is another Clapton in the making. 715624@blogcritics.org Mon, 5 May 2008 19:02:56 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/05/04/222041.php#comment-715511 My wife and I were also there. It was a magical evening. Wathching Eric play.....especially on his blues songs.... is like watching Da Vinci paint a masterpiece. Each note is meaningful and from the heart. 715511@blogcritics.org Mon, 5 May 2008 09:06:06 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/05/04/222041.php#comment-715450 Nice review Gibson. Too bad he didn't dust off a few with Winwood, eh? -Glen 715450@blogcritics.org Sun, 4 May 2008 22:27:59 EDT
