It'll be our 1st time with EC.

Kathy- I saw EC at the Philly Spectrum about 25 years ago. It almost hurts to say it was that long ago...but those are da facts...It was a blast.
I'd love to see "Sir Eric" again...
Have fun!

I saw him for the "From the Cradle" tour at Madison Square Garden 2 nights in a row. Still right up there with the best shows I've ever seen and I've seen allot.

I've seen him a couple of times. But, the best show was at the old Chicago Stadium (the Madhouse on Madison). At one point, he was playing along with Muddy Waters, Alvin Lee and Johnny Winter. Muddy had just married a 20 something and it was a sort of "congratulations on your marriage" show.
Clapton is God

Hey guys,
Yep it should be a GREAT show and I'm sooo happy that it's an outdoor venue. The older I get the more I want the fresh air with big crowds. Dang, I AM getting old.
Anyway Pete that particular show @ the Madhouse musta been awesome!
I've seen alot of shows as well Eric but I do have a short list of have to see...including EC, Bowie, Rod Stewart and Aerosmith (imagine coming from MA I've never seen the boys from Boston
), Robert Plant & Jimmy Page together would be the best! I've seen Plant solo and it was awesome. I think the only one on my short list that has a slim to none chance is Bowie.
Hey Sherban, I'm sure this show will be a blast, thanks.

I saw Rod back in 1970 when he was billed as " Rod Stewert, The Faces and 5 tons of equipment" It was at the Mar e Sol Pop Festival in Puerto Rico.
Saw Bowie at the Garden once too.

Marcia and I saw Aerosmith back when we were dating in HS. It was the "Toys in the Attic" tour. (1976) They played outdoors at the old Comisky Park in Chicago. It was a blistering hot day and the tar roof that surrounded the stadium caught fire. Didn't matter...the show went on.

Woo-Hoo Eric! That's great, so we'll have to compare our reviews afterwards.
Enjoy,
Kathy

That would be great. I'm curious as to wht he'll be playing. I would love to see a show that he does some old classics of his. As I posted earlier I saw the From the Cradle tour and that was strictly blues.

That would be tough, what with Freddie Mercury being dead, and all.

She said "But do you think they would be good without Freddie Mercury?"
