The following is from the newsgroup "alt.music.eric-clapton" and while the original poster seems to be a might more orientated towards the pop side of Eric than I am, still this little review has something to offer:


***********************

Hi all

Thought I'd thank those who replied to previous thread and put a few words up about last nights Belfast gig Saturday 24th.

Support band cane on dead on 8:00 and were excellent very high quality performance for half an hour ... didn't catch their name though.

After a wait Eric and the band came on and "got on with it" a man of few words our Eric I think through the entire evening he said five words "good evening" and "thank you" a couple of times.

The playlist was as published on the websites and obviously the same throughout Europe. The Odessey has its own CCTV system so the thing went out on the two screens either side of the stage some great close ups of the guitar riffs etc. Light show excellent without being OTT.

For me the older stuff is still the best with "I Shot the Sheriff" title 4 or 5. A few more Blues numbers and onto a set including "Badge, "Layla" and the final "Cocaine". GREAT STUFF

The band returned for two song encore including "Sunshine of ..." and another title that I recognized but can't recall the name.

Gig finished by 10:45 so there was 1hr 45mins of Clapton and half hour of the support band. Great value for the £38.00 ticket.
