Мне позвонил из Штатов друган Евг. Аронов и сказал, что приглашен на закрытый концерт Эрика в казино в Атлантик-Сити. Причем, концерт для 20-30 зрителей. Параллельно с этим он даст там же в А.С. полноценный концерт для обычной аудитории.

Есть такое дело. Уже писали про это, месяца 2 назад.

Уотерс и Клэптон сыграют в крикет

Эрик Клэптон (Eric Clapton) организовал благотворительный крикетный матч между командами Eric Clapton’s XI и The Bunburys, который пройдет 8-го июня в городке Крэнли графства Сюррей. Обе команды будут состоять из друзей Эрика: музыкантов и известных игроков в крикет. Среди них будут: Билл Уаймен (Bill Wyman), Майк Резерфорд (Mike Rutherford), Роджер Уотерс (который будет играть спустя всего 2 дня после концерта в Санкт-Петербурге), а также игроки крикетных команд Сюррея и Англии Марк Бутчер (Mark Butcher) и Марк Рампракаш (Mark Ramprakash), бывшие игроки сборной Англии Фил Таффнелл (Phil Tuffnell), Джек Расселл (Jack Russell) и Алан Лэмб (Alan Lamb), бывший капитан индийской команды Мохаммед Ажаруддин (Mohammed Azharuddin) и бывший капитан команды Пакистана Васим Акрам (Wasim Akram). Команда The Bunburys была создана более 20 лет назад (одним из ее основателей был Клэптон) и является самой известной в стране командой по крикету, выступая на благотворительных и развлекательных мероприятиях.
Все доходы, полученные от матча, будут направлены в благотворительные и общественные организации: Longacre Jubilee Appeal, CHASE Children’s Hospice Guildford, Crossroads Centre (основанный Клэптоном центр реабилитации в Антигуа) и The English Schools Cricket Association. Цены билетов для взрослых составляют £12,50, а для детей до 12 лет — £2,50. В стоимость билета входят чай для взрослых и закуски для детей.

Такой вопрос. Как звать басиста из его группы. Этакий шустрый, улыбчивый негр. Играет он где-нибудь?

2Uliss13:
Какого года группа-то?
С ЕС не один улыбчивый негр переиграл, но дольше всех - Натан Ист.

The show in Hollywood was even better than first night in Tampa. The band seemed much more cohesive this evening. Eric and all were on fire from the get go. Same set with a different encore with Robert Randolph - "I've Got My Mojo Working" - what a treat!

It was a totally different feel inside an enclosed arena verses open air amphitheater. The acoustics were much better and the light show was much more vibrant enclosed. The band seemed to have a more intense connection with the audience in the smaller venue. Even though I heard almost all of the songs just two nights ago, it was like a completely new and different show.

Chris Stainton's keyboards on "Layla" brought tears to my eyes which I have never experienced in all of the times I have seen "Layla" performed. Doyle Bramhall II's guitar solos and vocals were the best I have seen of him live. Eric was, as always, spectacular and moving - loved the Robert Johnson songs. I could not stop dancing!

I went to the Hollywood performance. I really can't say that I was very happy with Eric Clapton's show last night. You need to know that this tour is really a Blues show. Other than Layla and Cocaine, he really didn't play any of what I would consider the favorites of mine until the encore. Just thought concert goers should know what they are paying the big bucks to hear. Most of the people, age old rockers like me, felt the same way.....expecting him at any moment to break out with "I Shot The Sheriff" or "Bell Bottom Blues", "My Fathers Eyes", etc. I'm sure the Clapton's blues fans were delighted.

Last night in Hollywood confirmed for me that we are back in the 70s. I bought gas for 3.65 (U.S. Dollars) on the way to the show. I got to the arena and I felt transformed to the Filmore, of which I never had a chance to go to as I was born in 1971. The opening band warmed up the crowd and young Robert Randolph showed a smile on his face that said it all, his playing is tremendous.

Clapton arrived on stage and all of us began a trip back in time to the roots of rock and roll. The show encompassed the beginning of Eric's career, with blues favorites from Derek and the Dominos. The show also felt like a John Mayall show when Eric turned the front man role over to Doyle, who looks like his time spent with Derek Trucks has paid off. The crowd was a little put off by the lack of "hits" being played as confirmed by the ovation once the opening chords of "Wonderful Tonight" was heard. But, I think if you go to these shows with the understanding that you are seeing the "Michelangelo" of guitar rock and roll on stage performing his heart and soul for you, you will not be disappointed.

I saw Eric Clapton in Hollywood, Florida and it was one of the best shows that I have seen in a while. He played for about 2 hours and it was incredible. That man can play the guitar like no other. I saw him years ago and I think he just keeps getting better with age. I loved the fact that it was a blues concert. He did play some of his hits though. The only one that I did miss hearing was Lay Down Sally, but other then that it was an amazing night.

Eric Clapton and Robert Randolph
Hard Rock Live
Monday, May 5, 2008

Better Than: Watching TV pundits continue to treat Hillary Clinton’s campaign seriously.

Is Eric Clapton God or just a higher power some choose to call God?

Unfortunately, the decades-long debate over Clapton’s exact theological disposition wasn’t solved at Hard Rock Live where he performed a fine set that vacillated between the divinely inspired and, occasionally, the divine itself.

When you see Clapton, you expect big doin’s, especially if you shell out 100 to 400 bucks, the going rate. Luckily, Robert Randolph and the Family Band opened the show with their ebullient brand of gospel/funk/rock/blues/whatchamacallit music. Randolph, who learned to sing and play pedal steel guitar in the Pentecostal church, came out hard with a feedback-saturated one-chord stomp -- appropriately called “Good Time” -- that was equal parts Hendrix, Sly Stone, and the late blues master R.L. Burnside. Then Randolph switched to a Stratocaster for a cool number featuring his younger sister’s big gospel voice; oddly enough, the song mixed in the airy guitar tones and mellow feel of a Grateful Dead tune. Intent on covering a wide musical spectrum, Randolph slipped in a nice version of the gospel-blues “You Gotta Move” and a forgettable version of Hendrix’s “Voodoo Chile.” (Nobody should play “Voodoo Chile” but Hendrix. Ever.)

Then came Clapton, much to the delight of the large boomer crowd. But if folks were expecting a show chock full of Clapton originals, they didn’t get it. Instead, Clapton delivered a tasteful set comprised mostly of blues standards like “Key to the Highway”, “Hoochie Coochie Man” (augmented by a stellar pair of female backup singers), and “Motherless Child.” In the middle of the show, Clapton took a chair and went acoustic for a handful of songs, most notably on Charles Brown’s wistful classic, “Driftin’ Blues.”

E.C. returned to rock with a fantastic treatment of Hendrix’s “Little Wing.” Later, there were hammer-down versions of “Layla” (electric, thankfully) and “Cocaine.” The latter tune got most of the crowd up and moving, save for the folks who paid $400 to sit in the first ten rows and apparently thought they were at a real estate convention.

Clapton sang well, summoning the occasional measured growl. His playing and set list were well balanced, too, although I didn’t sense that he was pushing the envelope. That’s not to say he was phoning it in -- this is the second night of his summer tour, so maybe Clapton was getting revved up, working his way into the Slowhand zone.

There were some standout moments -- like when E.C. traded licks with his able supporting guitarist, or when the keyboard player, Chris Stainton, pounded out dirty boogie-woogie solos during the blues numbers. And the vibe was high when Clapton played “Got My Mojo Workin'” for the encore.

Clapton’s divinity, or lack thereof, is still an open question, but it’s fair to say his mojo is still workin’. As a matter of fact, it’s workin’ on you.
