I guess I don't have to go to the show now. I'll just throw my tickets away

On the occasion of the 'From The Cradle' tour, PBS broadcast a special detailing the rehearsal preparations for the concert along with interviews with Clapton about what motivated the project. By the time it was all over I had pretty much seen the concert but it didn't detract from being there in person following the broadcasts. These snippets shouldn't detract much from the spontaneity of a live performance. It's obviously being videotaped as well for some kind of posterity. Interesting composition to the band. New and old faces, that. Stainton, the old standby, still on the keys.

It just takes a little something away from the suspense of the show for me. I'm sure I'm still going to enjoy it as much as any Clapton show I've been to

None of these videos are doing justice to the sound you're going to hear in the hall. They're all pretty bad quality.

The set list is published on 'Where's Eric' which suggests that he is not particularly concerned about your 'little something.' Not to mention the fact that his website will likely cover every step of the tour. So enjoy and don't sweat the small stuff. :idea: :wink:

Here's a wonderful rendition of My Father's Eyes, the electric lines being played by Doyle and Greg as Eric decided to rearrange the song in a semi-acoustic fashion combining elements from the original Unplugged and Pilgrim versions...

Saw EC performing Cocaine on a sunburst 335:



He already did the song using a korina Explorer during the ARMS concerts in 1983!

ZZDoc...as I understand it, EC never did get to meet his father who was a piano and sax player. FWIW.
