To my ears the intro to "Have You Ever Loved a Woman" at the Belfast
Odyssey (2004) was EC without a pick. Of course I could be wrong because
I never had an opportunity to actually see any of the recent tour's
shows.

Since I play fingerstyle only, I looked at this more closely over the 
last years. He started with fingerstyle on electric guitars more 
extensive during the FTC era, Reconsider Baby is a typical example.
The tone is different and great for Blues tunes, while an electric
Layla with fingerstyle may sound weak. With Doyle replacing Andy EC's
second guitarist has changed to a pick player. Before that he hired many

fingerstyle players like Phil Palmer or AFL, or even Mark Knopfler. 
Maybe with Doyle's pick playing EC wasn't loud enough, the main 
disadvantage of fingerstyle - the best amp is a pick, as MK once said.



Gerd,

I agree with your assessment, especially the last sentence.  I think too
that there may have even been some experimenting, to a certain extent,
onstage with EC in Japan with so many solos being finger played.  

Cheers,
E.P.
