E. C. Was Here!
well eric clapton rolled into phx and we got tickets months ago. glad we did, the rafters were filled at u.s. airways center. pretty sure a sell out. it was great!
went from rock and roll to blues acoustic w/butch trucks son(allman bros) on slide guitar. had entire backup band with him including chick singers. robert cray opened with his band and then came out later to play across from clapton.
show ended with crossroads and layla. mesmerizing guitar work like no other i've seen. first time i saw him he was so junked and drunked they dragged him off stage at tempe diablo stadium w/ the allman/doobie bros. so wasted he never even played a note. that was one long setup change jammed into an afternoon broiling in the sun! gave new meaning to "outdoor concert".
but he cleared his name w/me by doing a flawless show last night and it was worth every penny. highly recommend seeing him. it was your standard contract show........2hours 15 minutes with (2) encores. seems to be the way u.s. airways and city of phx wants to clear out downtown early.
