[Slowhand] Concert for George - Random Thoughts

[Mark Deavult]

After hearing all the discussion I finally got a chance to check out the
complete concert.  Here are a few random thoughts:

- It was quite sneaky of Eric to play along during the Indian music session
so we won't all fast forward
through it like we did during "Concert for Bangla Desh".

- Is Andy Fairweather-Low the new Minnie Pearl of rock music, or did he
simply forget to take the
price tag off the tuners of his Fender Electric XII?

- Could it be that EC is wearing the same shirt he wore on the 2001 tour,
one of his "fat" shirts?
Hard to believe this guy of all people would allow himself to be seen in
public more than once
wearing the same thing - especially something that looks like it probably
came from the bargain bin
at Target!  What has happened to Mr. Armani?

- Basically this was about as close as you can get to a reunion of EC's
early 1980s touring band.
It's a Pity ... that Albert Lee wasn't allowed to step out a little more!

- Speaking of fashion, Eric must not have auctioned off all his old
clothes - it looks as if he
loaned Billy Preston the suit that he (EC) wore at the 1987 Prince's Trust
Concert.

- Last but certainly not least, pay attention to the crowd shot after "I
Don't Know".  How does she
DO that?  It happens every time ... <grin>
