[Slowhand] Quick review of first EC-SW show

[Richard Batty]

Hi folks,

Just a quick report here.  The show last night was right up there with
the Cream Reunion shows IMHO.  There is huge chemistry between E and
S.  They seemed to be enjoying it immensely, have huge respect for
each other and I think were really doing what they had wanted to do
with Blind Faith.

I have written here before that I think EC excels in one-off / limited
run / benefit shows.  I think he plays better in small groups - think
Cream, D&tD, the 80s and 90s four-piece bands.

The intensity of the playing was incredible last night.  I think
playing with S and having a brand new set list invigorated EC.  The
set list was unbelievable - Voodoo Chile was out of this world and the
centerpiece of the set.  But Them Changes, Glad, No Name, wow.  So
many highlights - an incredible Double Trouble, the always amazing
solos on Forever Man, Well Alright.  And a solo Georgia on my Mind
from Steve!

The only disappointment was no Wonderful Tonight :-)
