Just saw Clapton and Winwood at the Hollywood Bowl

« on: July 01, 2009, 12:11:15 AM »

It was a great show and the first time I've seen Eric Clapton live. I was there more for Clapton than Winwood. They played an amazing cover of Voodoo Chile. The show was supposed to start at 8pm. I thought there would be an opening act that would play for about an hour. It turns out these guys went right on at 8pm, so I missed the first 30 minutes. Not sure if they played any Derek & the Dominos songs. It kills me if I missed that. They also played Layla acoustic, like on the unplugged album, instead of the Dominos version. That was only thing I was disappointed with. But I've got to tell you Eric Clapton is such a fucking great guitar player. I'm so glad he's still alive and I can see him play. Amazing.

I would love to see them live with that setlist, it looks great. I can't find much info about them touring, but since I've been visiting my parents I think I've missed out on this opp! Thanks the small review and setlist, I'm suprised they've both still got it after their recent recordings. I suppose that live magic never leaves you as long as you keep playing.

It was a 14 performance tour and that was the last night. But I bet you will get the opportunity to see them play together again since they made a lot of money on this tour and they don't seem to hate each other like what went on in Cream.
