Eric Clapton

[Mik]

Should be great if he can play. He supposedly was having trouble with his hands.

80, wow. A remarkable talent, hope it’s a good show.

[jon-nyc]

Rolling Stone has him as #2 in the top 100 guitarists of all time. Obviously those lists are pretty worthless but he’s on the shortlist of guitarists that the boy worships and he couldn’t be more psyched to see him live.

[Mik]

So cool. That’s like us dying to see Tommy Dorsey or Duke Ellington.

[jon-nyc]

Really it is.

[blondie]

You’re a good dad. Both of you are so lucky to see him. If I could go back in time I’d like to see Jeff Beck, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Prince. They were my favs. There are 2 kid prodigies I follow on IG who I think are great: Taj Farrant and Justin Lee Schultz.

About 35 years ago Clapton gave a private performance in my village. The owner of the bar was a famous luthier who had repaired one of Clapton's guitars. Clapton played for free for about 45 people.
A night to remember

[Mik]

That would be quite an evening.

[Wim]

@Mik 't Was indeed.

[jon-nyc]

Tonight.

[Mik]

Nice.

[89th]

Crossroads...probably my number one go-to if I'm driving in the summer with the windows down.

[jon-nyc]

Opening act is the Wallflowers.

I’ve heard of them but don’t know them. Their lead singer is Bob Dylan’s son.

[Mik]

I really like them. Listen to some stuff on Youtube.

[jon-nyc]

I could do that.

Or listen to them live at Madison Square Garden. lol

@jon-nyc said in Eric Clapton:

Wallflowers are pretty good. I remember their album when I was in college (25 years ago wtf), one headlight was a good song, among a few others. What's embarrassing, as a stupid kid I didn't really listen/know much about Bob Dylan other than his legacy, so when folks said this was Bob Dylan's son I didn't really care, lol.

Years ago, I was in Serbia and spray painted on the side of a wall was the saying "Clapton is god". LOL Had no idea who that was, so had to look him up. I assume they are speaking of the same guy.

Wearing my merch. It’s cold in here.

[Horace]

I hope you enjoy yourselves. It’s my understanding that you’re not supposed to wear the shirt of the concert you’re at.
