There is a review here:

A little scathing in parts, to add my sentiments of Saturdays gig, the Keyboard sounded horrible and in fact the whole sound was wrong, it was like pins in the ears without any bottom end, maybe this contributed to the the lack of engagement from the audience. Also the choice of songs was quite quirky.
I have to agree with the review, the whole concert ended with more of a whimper than a bang, I expected them to come back for "Sunshine of your love" or "White Room", as Clapton gets older and his personal life busier, I've been afraid for several years that the next tour might be his farewell tour, I hope this one isnt, because by no means bad, it wasnt the best I've seen of him and I don't want it to end like this.
