If they completely withdraw from performing activities in this way, it would be quite anticlimactic isn’t it? I’d rather believe they will do a couple of large scale gigs on their home turf (a la Hyde Park) in next one-two years before they go, even if they don’t resume a full tour. Time will tell.

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

I love it. Reminds me of the happy memories I saw the Stones live for the first time at the Three Rivers Stadium, Pittsburg, Sept 6, 1989. Generic? Maybe. Sterile? Mediocre? Crap? Unlistenable? No. Good song in its own right. One of the few modern Stones songs I’d love to hear live one more time, along with Can’t Be Seen, Love Is Strong, Anybody Seen My Baby?, Rough Justice etc.

Quotedaspyknows I didn't get to see anything in the 70's and a few in the 80's. Most of my Clapton show have been from the past 15 years and aside from the London Cream reunion (I didn't attend) there was not a show out of the 50 or so that I have seen that matched this. Ah, that makes sense. Of the more recent years, the 2013 tour is among those I rate better than last

An evening of Cream & Blind Faith re-revisited by Eric & Co. It kind of felt like a combination of the 2005 Cream Reunion and the subsequent years’ Clapton/Winwood tours 2008-2011. Moreover, some songs that weren’t performed on those occasions thrown in — that is, Strange Brew, I Feel Free, Blue Condition and Do What You Like.

Keith already showed a sign of dropping Happy in 2018 No Filter UK/European Tour. Of the 14 shows, it was performed only 3 times — London 2, Coventry and Edinburgh. At Murrayfield Stadium, he made a major cock up during the middle section, an almost train wreck that was narrowly avoided. That was the last time he played Happy on stage to this day. He got the omen then perhaps?

GHS is neither a turd or a beaut IMHO. Tad overrated in some quarters thanks to the aftermath of the golden four. The album being produced by Jimmy Miller doesn’t necessarily guarantee it is as good as the preceding titles, simple as that. My two cents.
