Any fans here? Saw him at Royal Albert Hall last night .The solo on "i shot the sheriff" was worth the ticket price alone! I understands he's touring the States soon..... http://www.whereseric.com/
Hi tonyh, saw Eric last month playing in Frankfurt, Festhalle Germany. 15.000 people - SOLD OUT! Great concert and the old guitar slinger still knows how to play the Blues.
I've always been a fan of his. From "i feel free", "cocaine", and his MTV unplugged appearance. What an up and way down life he's had. I was most interested in his latest off-stage experience. Have you heard the story of his very recent marriage? I think that is an amazing story. T
Big EC fan, but missed the Festival in Houston recently. I shoulda gone. I guess he will swing by San Antonio on tour, sure cant miss that!
Jordan, check out the link below; he's in Tx on 4,5 & 6 June. If you can get a ticket, it'll be worth it.

King, Sonny Landreth, Brian May, Pat Metheny, Robert Randolph, Otis Rush, Carlos Santana, Hubert Sumlin, Dan Tyminski, Steve Vai, Jimmie Vaughan, Joe Walsh and ZZ Top. The extraordinary "house bands" will be none other than Booker T & The MG's, Jimmie Vaughan's band and Eric Clapton's band. Other artists will be announced as details are confirmed.
I've been a fan of his since Cream, through Derrek and the Dominoes,... I saw him lie in Austin about 5 years ago.
At the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago they currently have an exhibit called "Sweet Home Chicago", which chronicles and honors the history of Blues and Chicago's role in it. Among the displays they have EC's "Brownie" Strat from Derek & the Dominoes, which is pretty cool. I've seen him live a few times--he's a legend. What else can you say at this point?!
My favorite artist. I have seen him many times. The first time was in Oakland in 1969 during the Blind Faith tour. Tickets were $5.50.
Cool! Thanks a lot, Im heading to Dallas tomorrow and I will check out the venues while Im there, maybe reserve some tickets if I have the time to do so. Thanks again!
Clapton is great. Been around a long time and keeps doing new material or remaking old material in fresh new ways. Awesome. He can be so laid back and restrained one minute and then just make the guitar scream the next. Love his version of "Don't Think Twice It's Alright" from the 30th Anniversary Tribute to Bob Dylan at Madison Square Garden back in 1992. Taped the simulcast on radio and TV, then bought the CD. Awesome rendition, very bluesey. Also some nice material on his double CD "One More Car....One More Rider" from his 2001 tour. John
He's so smooth.... I Love Him to Death! According to Jocelyn Elders ( Former Surgeon General Under the Clinton Administration) In Her words: " I Like Eric Clapner" (One of the Funniest quotes ever!!!!!!!)
Tony he plays in my home town on July 20th and I plan on going. Can you tell me what the play list featured?
Hi stacy Let it rain Hoochie coochie man Walk out in the rain I want a liitle girl I shot the sherif Me and the devil They're red hot Milkcows calf blues If i had possession Over Judgement Day Got to better in a little while Have you ever loved a women Badge Wonderful tonight Layla Cocaine Encore Sunshine of your love with Robert Randolph I got my Mojo working " " "
Thanks Tony. This is good news. Sounds as though he's covering his various periods which is good. Last time I saw him the song list was focused on his lastest cd release. How long was he on stage?
