So far out of almost every major tour since 1998 that came to South Florida,
Eric Clapton on 3-18-01 was by far the best sounding, performance, and
production I've ever witnessed.
Line up on that night was:
Eric Clapton, Andy Fairweather Low (guitar and vocals), Steve Gadd (drums), Nathan East (bass guitar), David Sancious (keyboard and vocals),
Billy Preston (Keyboards & B3). Opening act was Doyle Bramhall.
Here's one of the shots from that night, and being that I work at that arena for 8 years now I also get the direct feed and listened to the show in the control room which was a mind blower.
Also in attendance that night was the his late friend and legend Tom Dowd.
The highlight was watching Steve Gadd, I'm still mystified on how anyone can
play that long, be so in the groove non stop..That show was also rare in that
they had time to improvise breaking off and playing for bit..like a slightly organized
jam session.
Few other shows that were truly inspiring was U2, Yes, and Phil Collins.
