Eric Clapton

Went, with Shirley, to see Eric Clapton at The Royal Albert Hall, London - 21 May. What a performance! a 1.75 hour set littered with incredible music and solos. This was the best concert I've seen EC play for several years - a real privilege to be there.

Eric was exceptional and can still play that guitar, his band and keyboards were amazing. My only complaint although Eric has such an expansive library of music was that he did not play “Layla”. Hearing the crowd, that seemed to be consistent with their view as well.

“Slowdown” was in great form. The setlist was fantastic. His current band, many of whim have played with him for years, played flawlessly. The audience was great. This is about the 10th time I’ve seen Clapton in concert and he still plays some of the best blues riffs . Can’t wait for next tour!

A dream that came true! Watching Eric Clapton in Curitiba was exciting. The "slowhand" presented a set list of 16 tracks, with an acoustic block and encore, singing "Before You Accuse Me", cover of Bo Diddley, with the participation of Gary Clark Jr. The sound quality presented at Ligga Arena was not the best, but from what I saw in the comments of other places the opening show of Gary Clark Jr. also presented a dull and dull sound. Clark’s talent is an undeniable thing but the quality of the sound could have been better worked.

Un concert plus blues que rock avec une partie acoustique. Clapton parle peu, mais place à la musique. Des musiciens exceptionnels, une réalisation au top avec ces 5 écrans permettant de voir tous les musiciens. Pas de Layla mais une Cocaïne où on a pu enfin se lever et danser un peu ! Trop trop court … mais on a vu la légende de la guitare peut être pour la dernière fois en France.

After 14 years of absence and at 79, we attended last night at the Paris Accor Arena in Bercy an exceptional show by Eric Clapton - "Slowhand" at its best accompanied for the last 30 years by the same outstanding musicians like the brilliant left-handed guitarist Doyle Bramhall ! Classics revisited with all the virtuosity of the undisputed Master of the Blues ! Breathtaking guitar solos ! A pure moment of happiness !

I thoroughly enjoyed the night. Eric is amazing as expected and sings as well as he always has despite his advancing years. It was my first visit to the Royal Albert hall, what a venue, the sound in there is fantastic as is the architecture.

I was obviously impressed by his outstanding guitar playing but I left early as he was playing too much Bluesey material for me and I personally wanted to hear him play his popular hits and I found Andy Fairweather Low far more engaging with his audience than Eric ever was throughout the Gig and that made Andy far more enjoyable to watch & listen to - Andy is hugely talented

Eric Clapton spielt und singt nach wie vor fantastisch ! Ein großartiger Künstler und eine Legende. Die Konzerte in der Royal Albert Hall sind mit ihm immer etwas besonderes - seine Spieltechnik ist sowohl auf der E-Gitarre und auf der Akustikgitarre herausragend. Seine Band ist ebenfalls erstklassig. Viele Mitglieder, wie Chris Stainton, Nathan East, Doyle Bramhall oder Katie Kissoon begleiten ihn schon seit vielen Jahren. Es war ein super Konzert und ich würde jederzeit wieder gerne ein Konzert von Eric Clapton besuchen !!!

Really great show, AFL excellent support & the main event did not dissapoint, the whole band were excellent. It was in the 60s Eric said was his last concert in the area and I have to say that having a local show was a great saving [usually have to to travel to the RAH to see his shows which is a significant cost]. I would happily go to another city/event to see all of this again as I got the feeling it may be Eric's last tour. Eric, thank you for your music and coming to Newcastle.

Fantastic concert...It was a great show, despite the fact that my seat was so far from the scene so I could barely see him... They played 2/3 normally and about 1/3 of the songs in acoustic which provided a nice touch and variety to the show. I was just disappointed to listen to 'Layla' in acoustic...I really, above anything else, wanted to hear the live version of Layla with the electric instruments...But that was still really good!

Icon!!! Eric Clapton, was amazing and so was Jimmie Vaughan! This was a concert of a life time! This was the best show. I’m so glad I went to the concert instead of the CU buffs game hard pick for some but I knew I choose right the legend of Rock and Roll! he was amazing kudos to him and may he live on and keep on Rocking .!

Great show! Really appreciated having the opportunity after years of waiting and finally able to buy tickets. Would have been great if Eric would address the crowd who spent time and money to see and hear him. Would loved to have heard more beautiful music such as Sea of Joy. Beautiful music!

Saw Eric last night in Pittsburgh. He was astounding. He took no shortcuts, played and sang the whole show. And is as commanding on stage as ever. He was probably the most remarkable guitar player I’ve ever seen. Only downside was a lot of fans drinking too much and talking during performance. Let me repeat that, they were talking loudly while Eric was playing. Ugh. Having said that, if you get the chance go see him then so it now. I got emotional watching him just because he has written the soundtrack to my life. And he’s still as good as ever. And if you do go, please be respectful and if you can’t, than don’t go so others can enjoy the show.

This is the second time I've been fortunate enough to see EC in concert. The other time was nearly 20 years ago. I can say without a doubt that Eric Clapton has come full circle with the best example of this was allowing his Guest to put his talents on display for much of the show. Back in the early days Clapton was less accommodating and said himself that he played when he wanted to and at some events was a no show! Saturday night he did it all!! Masterful Guitar solo's that were so packed with emotion and the sounds of his playing had me so mesmerized I felt like I had (I'm Dx & alch.free) dropped some 4 way el cid from back in the day. I felt such a positive wave of joy sitting with my arm around my wife. She is so beautiful and was glowing ✨️ like the magic of New York City on New Years Eve. The only way I can see that would have made it even better was to have Tickets to the next evenings show, the second of a 2 date appearance for Eric Clapton and Friends at Madison Square Garden. PROPS TO THE STAFF AT MSG: I have been laid up with a injury to my foot and leg after hip surgery? Someone must have seen me struggling with the what seemed like miles to our seats. Then a nice gentlemen who approached me asked if I needed help. Before I could answer another of MSG staff was there with a wheelchair. He carted me all the way to the other side of the arena and I walked the 10 feet or so to my seat. I gave him a big tip of course but I wish I knew his name to give him a shout out! Thank you for your help MSG staff

He looks great & the band was amazing. No surprise. He still plays like no one but his voice is not as strong as it once was in the day. Enjoyed the show but I also think the garden should have made it louder. Or the band’s acoustic soundboard?

Great concert! At 77 years old, Clapton proves why he's still one of the greatest. There were no pyrotechnics, laser light shows, or costume changes but the music was phenomenal! From sultry heartfelt blues and hard-hitting classic rock, Clapton's voice was as captivating as ever. The addition of Jimmie Vaughn, Nathan East, Doyle Bramhall II, and the various other talented and notable band members, this show permeated my soul and will live with me forever!

I have seen Eric Clapton twice, in 1994, and 2005, I am a huge fan. But last nights show was spectacular. The band was extremely tight with Clapton, the excellent base playing of Nathan East, Doyle Bramhall II, Paul Carrack and the other keyboard player that i don't know, and that very impressive drummer Sonny Emory! What impressed me is how Eric acknowledged all the band members during and after the show.

A true Rock Icon. A Class Act who paid tribute to QE2, God save the Queen. His rendition of The Sky is Crying, was an homage to SRV, and an emotional come full circle at Encore which had Jimmie V back on stage to help finish out a great night of music.

The band was amazing, after all it is Eric Clapton and his outstanding band members! However the sound quality of Toyota Center was terribly bad. The surrounding speakers went out and only the front PAs were working. The sound was so low that it was mixing with its echoes from the stadium’s roof.
