What I Would Have Liked To Have Seen
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.

Andrew,
I too was at Sheryl Crow’s concert. Great show (and KT Tunstall rocked too!). The friend I went with also caught Eric Clapton’s show last night. She thought Sheryl Crow’s concert was better, but that the cold weather made it pretty hard to enjoy the Clapton show last night. We were also hoping that he would show up at her concert. Too bad.
Anyhow, my preferred video is the more recent one with them singing Tulsa Time (which interestingly enough, the picture you have on today’s blog was taken from).

Hi Andrew,
I didn’t see Eric Clapton this time, but have seen him several times and have yet to be disappointed by one of his shows. I’m glad to hear he hasn’t lost his touch!!
