Me and the son are heading into TO tonight to see Clapton and the Robert Randolph band at Ontario Place tonight. The reviews have been good so far, so looking forward to a hot night of guitar.
Sheryl Crow played there last night, so hoping we might get a guest appearance as happens sometimes. Don't know her tour schedule today though. Regardless, a bluesy set list and great seats should make for a good night. The son, a pretty good player, hasn't seen EC, so he's quite pumped about the prospect. Hopefully the legend brings his A game.
Will report later.

She's off until the 28th and that night she is in Maryland. It would be cool if she showed.

I saw him on the 5th at the Hard Rock Live-Hollywood, second stop on this current tour.
Great show (as always), lousy venue (as always)!

Very jealous. I've never seen Eric. Certainly on the list of those I'd love to see. Enjoy and lets have a report.

Ditto here. I was listening to his From the Cradle CD on my way into work today and Crossroads Disc 1 on the way home. Of course no trip to Toronto for me this week.

Looking forward to your report of the concert.

i saw him on his "from the cradle" tour....it was great....he payed homage to all the old blues greats...giving a mini history lesson on each artist with large pictures of each behind him when he played their songs....

That had to be great, I love that CD. I've been playing it at the office. I keep it real low so no one can hear it and all I can hear is the guitar work. Occasionally someone will come over and they can make out some noise and I just tell them someone at another desk must have a radio or CD on:D I do the same with SRV.

EC brought it but adding Doyle Bramhall II to the mix made the night.
