What I Would Have Liked To Have Seen
Wednesday, May 28th, 2008
So far this week I’ve enjoyed two nights out - Monday, I was at the Sheryl Crow show, which was very good (going backstage was a treat). Tuesday, I sat in a chillier Amphitheatre to watch Eric Clapton perform a solid but not spectacular set (”Cocaine” was the highlight, followed closely great versions of “Little Wing” and “Tell The Truth”).
There was some talk that either EC or Crow would drop by at each other’s gigs, but alas it wasn’t to be. A little dissapointing to be sure, since they’ve performed together in the recent past. Maybe Clapton’s wife doesn’t like him hanging around Sheryl, since the story goes she wrote “My Favourite Mistake” about Slowhand. On that note, use Sheryl as today’s bonus word and then check out an onstage collaboration between the two from a few years ago.
