Eric a few days ago in Argentina, it's a return to form, not seen him playing this intense for years, incredible at 79 years of age.

Don't watch him often enough to know how much this playing is typical from him (I mean, I'd think it should be if he's charging money for people to see him), but I went in with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised to be blown away by his fire there. Crushed it, which at his age when he could be doing nothing is really cool to see. Sounds great, looks great, would love to see him blow me away at the Robbie Robertson tribute in a few weeks in LA.

Even he seemed a little surprised by his soloing in this video!

Agreed, he said in a recent interview he was suffering from a chest infection he couldn't shake on the last tour, so explains why he appeared so tired towards the second half of the shows.
He's got an ambitious tour ahead of him, hope he stays well bless him.
I'm seeing Dylan on the first of November, I have to pinch myself to make sure this isn't a dream all my heroes are still touring, let's enjoy them while we can.
Hope you enjoy the Robbie Robinson tribute, should be fantastic.

VIBRA, São Paulo, September 28

Lonely Stranger and Believe In Life back in the setlist, with Brazilian Jazz guitarist Daniel Santiago sitting in. Santiago joined the next number Tears in Heaven as well as Before You Accuse Me for the encore.

Wish I had been there.

Allianz Parque, São Paulo, September 29

Venue changed from a 7k theatre on the first night to a 40k football stadium on the second night.
Same setlist as last night.

Although Daniel Santiago sit in on Lonely Stranger, Believe In Life and Tears in Heaven like last night, he didn’t join Before You Accuse Me for the encore tonight (according to setlist.fm).

Acrisure Arena, Palm Desert, CA, October 10

Same 15-song setlist as San Diego.
Hopefully he hasn’t stepped into the “Eric going through the motions” zone.

Any predictions of what you think he might play at the Robbie Robertson tribute next week? I don't assume anything in his current set...

Likewise I can't see him busting this out with the amount of fire he does here, but I'd love to be wrong!

My safe bet would be The Shape I’m In and/or It Makes No Difference, both of which EC opened last year’s brief US fall tour with in tribute to Robertson. And maybe finishing the event with I Shall Be Released with all the performers turning up on stage.

Further On Up The Road on The Last Waltz was one of the most memorable performances and scenes from the night. It was a product of chance, immortalized by that unforgettable happening of Eric’s guitar strap falling off — a moment never to be repeated.

Further on up the Road for certain. I saw him play it with Robbie at the Crossroads Guitar Fest in Chicago in 2006, and of course it was played at the Last Waltz

He's been going through the motions for 30 years.

That said, speaking of 30 I might go tonight if the tickets hit that price point.

15 songs almost feels like ‘bad value for money’ I do, however, see that he performs for around 99 minutes. It’s just that, with such a huge career, you’d - naturally - expect a little more. Of course, he’s nearing 80; and he’s still evidently a fabulous guitarist.
