[sdudk]

Have never been a fan of Steve Gadd, and I never will be. But still great blues. Slowhand at his best.

[superfuzzymomma]

Is That a Fender Blues Jr. behind Eric?

What does he usually play through these days?

[T4NKDRIV3RUS]

Fender CS 57 Twin

[taipobryan]

I also wonder Eric uses such basic gear!

[bluesclaudio056]

@taipobryan because blues needs basic sound an feeling ^^

[compton300]

The Times said it was the usual Eric, he sang well, played well but their critic was not impressed! Why not? I think we are so used to him being good that we take him for granted. A legend.

[Aegis90]

WHere's Doyle? :D

[coolscrnname]

This may sound extremely racist, but it is NOT meant to be at all - what is up with these 'mamacita' singers? I don't know, I guess I look at them and picture them chowing on pupusas all day long. ???

[ischtivan]

What do you think? They can sing! They have been with EC for a long time. Awesome backgroundsingers. If you want bones just wack off touching your knee

[coolscrnname]

yes, of course they're awesome singers. But your response is funny cause I'm female:)

[OrchrestraNerd]

because Eric is a playa, thats why... haha

[2leftbank]

I was at the show- great, no missed notes at all!

[jantonice]

Whata song! Whata band! Whata guitar player and whata a singer!

[slowhand06]

If you paid a bit extra, you probably could have got to sit on the stage...!

[jjmc60]

Boss comment!

[WestbouneDave]

Good to see Andy back alongside EC. Thanks for posting

[walkwayss]

[LadyDarkWalker]

Nice seats :) I was pritty much at the back at Manchester the other night :( It was still awesome!!!

[jantonice]

Oh yeah! I can listen to this all day long! Chris Stainton is excellent, as is the rest of the band! And Eric is well, Eric. Not God but a damn fine guitar player and singer. Long live Rock and Roll!
