Have you seen Eric Clapton at his best?

Up until last night I had seen Eric four times and honestly felt I hadn't caught him at his finest. His recent tour gives all of us the opportunity. His set is largely from "Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs" 'cause he has the greatest living slide guitarist playing with him - Derek Trucks. Their interplay on the Layla album songs is truly magical. Catch the concert when it comes your way. Amazing!

as far as versatility...the last, great john cippolina once said 'any guitarist who needs to play more than 3 chords, hasn't found the right 3.....this from a 'guitar god'

I would agree with Cicciolina too.

There is no debate that we all have our personal favorite guitarists and my thread was to alert you towards a great concert if you have the opportunity. I loved Eric with the Bluesbreakers, Cream, Derek and the Dominoes and the "From The Cradle" sessions. My personal favorite is Jeff Beck, but is irrevalent to the thread. I just thought if you love lead guitar talent, you would get a kick out of Eric and Derek's interplay, especially if you are as big a "Layla" album fan as I am. Hopefully I'll see him do "Keep On Growing" live before either of us goes, but he will need to have two other awesome guitarists sharing what he did with solo overdubs.
