I love Clapton, he's up there as a player and person with ( although obviously completely different ) Keith, inspired by so much of what he's written and performed over the years, but due to Eric's age i can't enjoy these lackluster solo's, I'd just rather remember the way he was when he was on fire. I know he was being sympathetic to Roonie on stage and sharing the guitar work and holding back, but that's just not the Eric i love, he would have had to show off and blow the other guy away lol.
Age creeps up on everyone and Clapton always shone on these occasions, anyway it was for Ginger and I'm happy you guys were happy with that performance, personally i won't be seeing Clapton again live, it's just not worth the time and money to see him a shadow of his former self.

When I go to see artists like Clapton, Rolling Stones etc. I go there just for fun to see them there on a stage, I don't go to see the best Clapton, because I would be really out of time. What I mean is that we have to be realistic in things, people grow old and cannot be at most until the last of his days. But I'm not complaining it's always great fun for me.

Thanks! I added these to my larger post with everything.
I also found Presence of the Lord:

I think the only thing missing now is Pressed Rat and Warthog and the first half of Do What You Like.

Pressed Rat ? Awful song, be it originally, or at the Cream reunion in 2005.

Did you see this? Not sure if this is a big deal with perhaps Eric performing but it is for his wife's charity. More shows to follow...

Returned from Music For The Marsden. Great event that ran over three hours. Eric played three songs backed by the house band (including Robbie McIntosh on guitar and Ian Paice on drums) put together by Gary Brooker — that is, Key To The Highway, Stormy Monday and Crossroads. Then Van Morrison took the stage and sang three of his songs with Clapton playing the guitar. Altogether, their set lasted about 30 mins+. That part alone was worth the price of admission. I’m so glad I went.

Eric Clapton's Wife has a charity called, Turn Up For Recovery. They are holding a secret gig in New York tomorrow night. Three artists. They don't say who. Could be simply local acts. I have two tickets. I will let you know how it goes. They are planning another secret gig in London.

I enjoyed it as well.
Seeing Van sing Three Chords and the Truth with Clapton playing guitar and Paice on drums was a wild combination that I never thought could be possible.
Also, Bonnie Tyler was wearing a Rolling Stones t-shirt.

Yes - I took a photo to post on that thread of people wearing Stones tees, except it turns out I don’t know how to do it
It was a great night, with lots of highlights. It was like the greatest-hits-of-my-youth show! And Rick Wakeman’s version of Eleanor Rigby Prokofiev style was simply astonishing.
