[Slowhand] Chicago Sun-Times review of United Center

[John Broholm]

The Sun-Times did what seems to be the more thoughtful of the two Chicago daily newspaper reviews. Full review at:

  It's pretty good. Here's a taste:
   
  There has been a feeling for several years that Clapton needed some external push onstage, and indeed he seems reinvigorated by his tour mates. Perhaps he was dragging from the demands of being a bandleader, as he unintentionally indicated by naming his live album from a 2001 tour "One More Car, One More Rider." Often it seemed as if he was playing one more paint-by-numbers concert, which was definitely not the case Wednesday night (. . .) 
   
  . . . there's no one-upmanship in Clapton's band. His guitar is the loudest, and he usually takes the featured solo -- all as it should be.
