Eric Clapton
A rare chance to see this legendary guitarist perform live
Why see Eric Clapton?
One Of The Greatest Guitarists Ever
The legendary guitarist and former Cream member us going on his short tour this fall with special guest, fellow blues-rock guitarist Jimmie Vaughan! As both a solo-performer and as part of his bands Cream, Blind Faith and Derek and the Dominos, Clapton has helped define the blues-rock genre with hits like 'Layla', 'Tears in Heaven' and 'Sunshine of Your Love'.
The back-story to one of the world's most successful singer-songwriters and musicians isn't really one of a long struggle to stake his claim in the music world - Clapton's immense talent for the guitar was noticeable from very early on. He joined his first band in 1961 when he'd only just left school. Skip ahead just three years and Clapton's new band, the Yardbirds, were playing the Royal Albert Hall in London. A catalogue of hits unmatched in the world of rock, seeing Clapton live is a must for any music fan.

Eric
There is no body like Eric. Have seen all his concerts in Detroit since early 70’s and his playing was just as impeccable today at 76 than when he was a younger guitarist. Always an incredible two hours to just sit and listen to the most beautiful guitar player ever. ... Read more

Amazing and mesmerizing!
I think I've seen EC at least four (maybe five) times in the last 35 years. He never disappoints; you are definitely in for a treat if you've never seen him perform. My only regret was that the concert ended after only one encore (thirty years ago, the crowd could get him to play several encores...I was waiting for some old Cream songs). Still, a fantastic night that was worth the money! ... Read more

Eric Clapton does not disappoint!
This was my fourth time seeing Eric in my life, and as always, EC did not disappoint and concert was great. Being so close, 10th row, felt very personalized. He's in his 70's now, but sure didn't show it in his playing. Really good set list.

High Time We Went (encore) - with Jimmie Vaughan
Only wish he played longer, but hey, did I mention he's in his 70's. One of highlights was encore, where Jimmie Vaughan, who was the opening act, rejoined the band and played Joe Cocker's "High Time We Went". ... Read more
