I didn't realise at first either, but when I did some checking I found that
When You Got A Good Friend is a Robert Johnson cover, and to the best of
my knowledge marks the 14th Johnson song EC has performed in his career.
Considering Johnson only recorded 29 different tunes in his short lifetime,
Eric has now covered almost 50% of them! Great to see him reviving another
Johnson song "Kindhearted Woman Blues" again too, which he played a few
times in 1978. Apparently only "WYGAGF" and "Nobody Knows You" (only
performed in Hiroshima) are acoustic, the remainder of the set is electric.
Cheers,
Jon
