Eric Clapton concert
I had a great time tonight. Someone needed to get rid of tickets to an Eric Clapton concert and I was only too happy to oblige. It also gave me a chance to check out the Key Arena at the Seattle Center. The opening band was one I hadn’t heard before: Robert Randolph and the Family Band.
Randolph & Co. were loud, exuberant and knew how to put together a good beat. Robert even managed a song on stage with Clapton himself after the concert. It’s always good to hear an opening band that doesn’t suck. Makes the tedium of the set changes between the performances easier to bear.
As for Clapton himself… what can I say? He was spectacular. The acoustics in the arena were good and did justice to his strings. He did a mixture of old and new songs, but didn’t leave out Cocaine and Layla.
