[Slowhand] EC's Amp

[Jeff Elliott]

I too had the pleasure of a front row seat in May but to left of Eric
(facing the stage that is) but I don't recall seeing this amp.  What I
remember was seeing was of his trademark Fender Twins (similar to his
Crossroads amp if not one of them).  I missed hearing Eric's playing out of
the back line but was right in line with Andy's and I understand why Eric
likes having him in the band.

Now, I was also in line with Doyle's back line during the preceding Arc
Angel's set and my hearing still hasn't recovered!  If even acknowledged to
those of us sitting up front that he knew it was loud as he walked off the
stage at the end of his set.

Cheers,

Jeff

That Youtube clip was taken from the front row, to the left of EC. Later on
in the RAH run, for one night, I was lucky to have a front row seat, to the
right of EC, directly in line with his amp and for once I could listen to
his rhythm and lead work. Although I thought the RAH run was below average,
hearing how hard he really works on the guitar was a memorable experience.
As with most nights, the amp was placed to the right of Steve Gadd's raised
dais and it was business as usual with a tweed Fender. Actually, looking at
the clip below, I'm not even sure it's a Fender-but it sure is a
tweed....something. More than likely the amp you referred to was Andy's.
Check this vid out-you can see his hardware in all it's glory.
