[Slowhand] No More Trucks - Thank You!!

[Bbanderic at aol.com]

I find it amazing the amount of flack Derek is taking.  I  think  he's 
excellent, perfect for the Dominoes rich setlist.  The problem this  tour isn't 
Derek, he played what Eric wanted him to play.  To me, the  problem has been the 
over abundance of guitarists in the band.  Can someone  honestly tell me why EC 
needed three guitarists up to this point?  Throw in  Robert Cray on one or 
two songs and you have four.
 
I don't know if Eric doesn't have the chops he used to, or just  doesn't have 
the desire.  I saw the show in Toronto and have to say  for the first time, 
after seeing Eric play live for the past 20 years, I  walked out a bit 
disappointed in Eric's playing.  His solos were  too short and predictable, not once 
did he get into "the zone".  His  playing is nowhere near where it was in 2004. 
 Now that Derek is out, maybe  it'll force EC to get off his ass and play the 
way he's capable of.
