Gotta say I'm a little disappointed with that setlist. 18 of the 22 songs are on the live MSG CD. Why aren't they doing Sea Of Joy? Probably the best song on the Blind Faith album. And who needs an acoustic Layla? If you're gonna play it, then PLAY it! Imagine how much fun Eric could have had with a song like Low Spark Of High-Heeled Boys. They should be doing that one and an ELECTRIC Layla back-to-back. Sort of a "What Might Have Been" section of the set, devoted to music that presumably would have ended up on the second Blind Faith album, if there had been a second Blind Faith album. Also, if Traffic songs are fair game, why is there not even a single Cream song? Even a perfunctory Sunshine Of Your Love would have added balance and context.

In Washington D.C., Tell The Truth and Split Decision were dropped, Crossroads was added, and the setlist was substantially rearranged. Little Wing and Voodoo Chile were both included, but were not performed back-to-back. At least it appears they're trying to keep things interesting.

I can certainly live with that choice....Hope they don't drop Pearly Queen, my favorite Traffic song.

Gotta give props to EC and Winwood for taking chances and yet putting on outstanding performances at this stage of their careers.
I can think of another band that wish would take notice..........
