Check out “My Valentine” at Paul McCartney’s website if you haven’t done so yet. EC is brilliant on acoustic guitar!!

Anyone knowing the story behind the Stratocaster Eric plays on Layla, please please please share… Thank you!

After watching the Cocaine video, I can only say Eric should wear that shirt more often!!

To rectify is the way of the wise…. they say.

Okay, so Layla – even in the middle section of the show – not only was played on the Stratocaster but also kept the Wynton Marsalis arrangement…..

It feels so great to have Eric soloing on this one *again*!!!

Thanks for posting the video…… We sure have a long way to go but it’s amazing what technology can do for us these days!

Thanks for the great bunch of links…..

Nothing new on the setlist that we have not been treated to lately…..
… if only Layla would have been given the electric treatment……

I hope the performance made up for the lack of new songs!

Comment on Wynton Marsalis And Eric Clapton Play The Blues – Live From Jazz at Lincoln Center due on cd/DVD by slowhander

I can’t dislike this new arrangement of Layla… and as a bonus we get three minutes (!!!) of a speech onstage from Clapton!!!! … which makes this clip of historical importance for two reasons
Can’t wait to receive the CD/DVD set….

Unable to attend the gigs in 2005….

That is my never ending lament….. Will buy this, of course….. but not even blu-ray technology will help me get over my sadness….

Comment on Warners Set To Release Eric Clapton Blues Box Set In November by slowhander

I wonder whether Warners will be able to do a better job than MVR did over these years? They just set a pretty high standard with “Red”, “Blue”, “KOB”!!!
