Which first show did Keith butcher the opening lick of Start Me Up? Is there anyway to know?
To my knowledge it's 2015 (which was officially corrected for HYDE PARK/SWEET SUMMER SUN).
It's astounding that he continues to do that.
Second show in New Jersey. I forget the other one.
It's great that they're playing different songs, in that slot, basically, every show on the 2024 tour.
The only slight is that they're not playing enough new songs. But at least they haven't dropped any - they played four the second New Jersey show!

The following list is a revised/updated version of my post on the Seattle show live thread a couple of weeks ago. I am reposting this to show what an almost 80-year old can do.
Eric Clapton is 79 years old now.
He delivers a fair number of rarely played songs and deep cuts on the ongoing UK/European tour to the delight of the hardcore, taking them by pleasant surprise.
*Presence Of The Lord (played with Blind Faith and Derek & The Dominos in 1969-1970, on the 1973 Rainbow Concerts and the ‘come back’ tour in 1974. Never played again until 2007 for two occasions with Steve Winwood. And then on Clapton/Winwood tour 2008-2011. Finally, at the Ginger Baker Tribute 2020)
*Back Home (played only for the first half of the Back Home Tour 2006)
*You Were There (played only once at the Earls Court, London, October 15, 1998)
*Holy Mother (after being featured onstage during the August album period in 1986-1988, played very occasionally afterwards)
*Golden Ring (played only 3 times in the 1978 European tour in all of recorded history and never performed live in 46 years until London Royal Albert Hall, May 21, this year)
*That’s Alright (AKA Who’s Loving You Tonight, a blues number largely made famous by Jimmy Rogers, played by EC only sporadically from 1975 to the present)
Never say never…

It's been a warhorse since 1995. It just had a little break

Seriously, WH has not been played that often as could be claimed to be a ‘warhorse’ on any previous tours except 1975 when it was a regular feature on the setlist.
On this tour, though, it has been continuously played since Seattle (i.e. four consecutive times).

Played 159 times.
It's harder for a ballad in that slot to get warhorse-status, I'll give you that. However, WH is as close as it gets.

Wild Horses is one of the band's Top 20 streamed songs and it's on Hot Rocks which is charting on the Billboard 200 since the tour start.

2013.
Was this the first time he butchered the JJF-intro?
I don't know, but as with SMU and others I'm sure it has happened time and again during the years.

The IORR’s first ever “next warhorse vote”
Which song do you want to be a regular live staple, AKA “warhorse”, for the rest of the current N.A. tour as well as the subsequent Hackney Diamonds World Tour?
Wild Horses
Bitch
Out Of Time
Whole Wide World
I’d go for WWW. What about you?
