[Slowhand] San Jose show

[Steve Proctor]

Hi everyone,

I've enjoyed reading the comments from Rick and Mel about the San Jose show.  I also enjoyed the get-together prior to the show.  Betsy had printed an Eric Clapton Head On A Stick from my website!  It makes me glad that Al Gore invented the Internet.

The big treat of the evening was "Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad" since I had never heard it performed live.  The interplay between Eric and Derek was remarkable.  I had heard "Little Wing" at the Crossroads Benefit in 1999, but this performance was so much better.  For one thing, David Sanborn didn't tarnish the song with an over-the-top solo.  "Motherless Children" is the song that turned me from a fan to a fanatic, so it is always special for me.

Pictures from the show are on www.slowhand.net (direct link = www.slowhand.net/showpicv.htm for those who don't want to navigate).  The pictures are OK, but I seriously need a camera like Sam's.

And finally, the Heads On A Stick were quite a hit.  Derek and Doyle spotted them right away and laughed at various times during the show.  Steve Jordan pointed them out to Derek...as did Mr. Clapton who laughed and gave us a thumbs up.

Thanks to Lauren for the Crossroads 2 info.  I'll be there!

Steve
