[Slowhand] EC & the Usual Band Offer

[ToeKneeF]

While listening to the recorded shows from this tour, I am impressed by 
the renewed intensity in Eric's playing. I'm sure Doyle has contributed 
to it, but I just have to think EC is in a different place as a person 
and that is manifesting itself through his playing. In the past, when EC 
was able to loosen up, away from the formal "TOUR" construct, he would 
demonstrate a greater enthusiasm in his playing. That is why I so 
greatly enjoy listening to the shows he's done, to celebrate the New 
Year, at the Woking Leisure Center. Jane Newell has most generously 
shared these shows with me and now, I would like to share them with my 
fellow Slowhanders.

I believe this is the New Year's Eve show from Dec. 31, 2001 - January 
1, 2002. It sounds like a line recording but, the sound is a little 
overdriven. The musical performances, however, are superb. That is not 
to say that they are technically flawless, I believe only 1 day of 
rehearsal is alloted for the show. What you get are some very fine 
musicians playing the music they love and having FUN doing it. They're 
not doing it for the money, they're doing it for themselves! The set 
list is:
