Review #1

Wow! What a show. The best version of Pretending I have ever heard, great opener. Blistering guitar solos throughout the show with some great slide work by DT, Pretending, Running On Faith, Milkcow Blues, Little Queen Of Spades & Motherless Children standing out for me. The power of Milkcow Blues was immense. What makes this series of concerts stand out from others is the presence of three outstanding guitarists, DB, DT & EC, who couple ferocity with terrific playing ability to the performances. I just hope an official recording is released!!

А лучше бы они отсняли поздний концерт, а не начало тура в Монтрё.
Потом Эрик убрал "драйв" c гитары и стало звучать лучше! :)

Eric Clapton and his band closed out a seven night residency at London's Royal Albert Hall on 26 May. Concertgoers was treated to blistering versions of "I Shot The Sheriff" and "Little Queen Of Spades". Robert Cray joined EC on stage an outstanding version of "Old Love" and came back for the encore. As fans walked out of the venue, Eric's road crew were hard at work breaking down the stage so the gear could be shipped to Paris.

Review #1

Here we are again, the second show in two weeks (1st night in Glasgow and the last night RAH) 3500 UK Pounds for two nights entertainment and it was worth every penny. I already new the set list so when the first chords of old love where played it was just fantastic. If i had to pick out any song or solo i think the blues numbers done it for me, but the whole thing was amazing ( acoustics in the RAH are probadly the best i,ve heard). Eric seems to be getting better with age.The audience ran to the stage towards the end of the show so my friend and i where happy to oblige (some of you might of noticed us we where the ones standing on the chairs dancing) it was just a super night , Eric made that because he was at the top of his game.

Review #2

I went to the Eric's concert on the 25th and 26th of May. I came to London for the Thursday's concert from Poland especially to see Eric in action. After the first show I've decided to stay one more day there, and join Eric on the 26th!! It was the best concert I've ever seen!Right now I'm back in Poland and I'm trying to book the tickets for the Berlin or Prague show:) The solos of Doyle Bramhall II, and Derek Trucks were superb, but when Eric started his - everyone was impressed!

Review #3

This was my second time seeing Eric at the RAH this year as I was lucky enough to get a cheap ticket from eBay so I could relive the wonderful memories from my last visit to the RAH on the 16th May. The set list was great with some changes from the earlier dates. The set list included a breathtaking version of 'Old Love' and a great performance of 'Let It Rain'. These were the highlights for me along with 'I Shot The Sheriff', 'Layla', 'Wonderful Tonight' and 'Motherless Children'. The band played brilliantly and Derek was fantastic again. Robert Cray seemed to be having fun and he fit in perfectly with the band for the Encore. I left the RAH with a lot of great memories from the first night and last night. Once again, thank you Eric and Co for another wonderful experience and good luck with the rest of the tour.

Review #4

What an awesome night of skill, fun, emotion and fullness of musical spirit and love. A great joy to see all members of the band enjoying themselves and EC putting guitar solos to very well deserved younger talent. Went to Birmingham also and that was in the same category. All songs great but good to see a large spectrum of the great man's repertoire being performed. Robert Cray excellent... not that often you get to see such good blues musicians at one time on the same stage. Thanks to EC access of giving me the chance to get some tickets. Last night cost me nearly 500.00 UK Pounds with travel, tickets and baby sitting etc. but well worth the expense. Still got my t-shirt from 1987 somewhat tight to the torso, must have shrunk in the laundry. Once again the God is awesome.

Review #5

After an excellent set by Robert Cray out came the 'magic carpet' and on came 'The Master'. I have followed this man for 40 years and he never disappoints but this line –up is excellent and the set list is to die for. Robert Cray on stage for 'Old Love' playing as he did on the Journeyman album and Derek Trucks covering for the Duane Allman role on Layla. Doyle taking more of a back seat but playing superbly with delicate in-fills and Wow at one point two Gibsons being played on stage! I was privileged to have a front row centre 'dream' seat thanks to my brother and sister in-law and was struck by how at times Eric appeared as almost humble to be playing – so understated and so generous to the younger players on the stage. They used to say in the 1960's that "Eric could make time stand still" well last night he made 2 hours plus disappear in what seemed like an instant!

Review #6

I made my second visit to the Royal Albert Hall to see Eric Clapton, the first of which was 12 years ago when Eric debuted "From The Cradle" material. In the back of my mind I was concerned that the show would not live up to the standard of '94 vintage; how wrong I was! Eric and his band were simply awesome last night and I found the whole show completely flawless. Without doubt the best musical experience I have ever had, Eric surely is akin to a fine wine, he just keeps getting better & better! The highlight for me was "Little Queen of Spades", simply incredible. His band were also of an awesome standard and huge credit should go out to Derek Trucks, surely a big star of the future!!

Review #7

Friday night's performance saw Eric and his band fire on all cylinders. Eric sang with heart and played with gusto bringing the every member of the audience to its feet for the first time this week. You could sense something special in the air from the first numbers as Eric prepared to see the Royal Albert off with something not to be forgotten. Never before has Eric looked so young - enjoying his music, bopping around the stage with the energy of a man half his age. It was a privilege to have been there and to tell others that a happy Clapton is an unrivalled and awesome sight.

Just two nights after ending a seven date residency in London, Eric performed at Bercy on 28 May. Those in attendance heard "Anyday," "After Midnight," and "Old Love" (with Robert Cray!) and many others. As with earlier dates of the European Tour, The Robert Cray Band served as support.

Review #1

The set was almost the same as RAH without "Lost and Found", "Everybody oughta"..."Anyday" was back.
Very impressive start with Pretending, great solos of DT and Doyle (and Eric as well).
We have had a great version of "Old love" with Robert Cray. The Band sounded very well, good job from backing vocals also. The highlights are: Anyday, Back home (thanks to the horns section), Old Love (as mentioned with Robert Cray!), I shot the sherif (great Drum intro), I am yours, After midnight (Steve Jordan speed train), Motherless Children (Doyle & Eric slide duet, Steve Jordan Train' again).

Eric has found a new band which is perfect, Derek Trucks is a famous slide guitar player, I'm sure !

Review #2

The Robert Cray Band were brilliant and what a band for a warm up!!!!
Then Clapton and his band came on and started with a brilliant Pretending with a very cool solo from Eric, Derek and Doyle. I had never seen Derek before and boy can he play!!!! I also thought that Doyle's guitar was strange with the strings in the opposite order then usual ( Low E at the bottom and upwards towards the HIgh E).
After Eric and the rest of the band continued with other brilliant tracks such as I shot the sheriff and Old Love.
As Eric started Wonderful tonight whole Bercy was lit with lighters!!!!
During a quick break in between Wonderful tonight and Laya just the time to change Guitars , the crowd started to request Layla, and Eric heard them and started to play the song. The audience went crazy as did I.
After Layla he finished with Cocaine.
They left the Stage and came back for the Encore and played Crossroads where everyone had a little solo, which was cool.
I really enjoyed the fact that Eric Clapton also lets his band members have their "solos" like Derek and Doyle but also the piano solos from Chris Stainton and Tim Carmon, who were both Amazing!!!
It was my first Eric Clapton concert live, because i have seen all the dvds and this is the first time i managed to get tickets. I have to say it was the best concert of the year that i have seen so far, completely blew Steve Vai, Robert Plant and Iggy Pop away, and all thought im a big Red Hot Chilli Peppers Fan, i don't think they'll be able to do better then Eric CLapton.
I hope Eric Clapton will still be around for a long time, he is my ultimate hero and he has forever marked music History!!!

Review #3

I'm just back from the Paris show tonight. It was a great night, you can see that the two guitarists push Eric to play better and better. It didn't start well (pretending solo wasn't that good), but once Derek and Doyle had their solo, it looks like Eric wanted to keep up.

Setlist was : (with some comments)

Pretending
So Tired (directly into =>)
Got To Get Better In A Little While
Old Love (with Robert Cray, almost 15 mn, the duet adds a lot to the song)

Anyday (Eric insisted it was a Duane Allman song...)
Back Home
I Am Yours
Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out
Running On Faith (please give Eric the strat back to make an electric ending solo to this one !!!)
