    I was at this show. It was absolutely amazing. I was standing right in front of him in the front row. The hat thing was hilarious. It was the era of Arsenio Hall, and the whole "Woo Woo Woo" with the arm thing was popular everywhere. Everyone up front started doing that. Clapton and the rest of the band thought it was hysterical, and they were all laughing and doing it back. That's when everyone just started throwing their hats up on stage. There were tons of hats on the stage so everyone in the band picked one up, and put them on. People went nuts, and they closed the show that way. I'll absolutely NEVER forget that night. I was 18... AMAZING.

    The soldano amp and lace sensors is the clapton sound I grew up with.

    The Hartford Whalers were in the NHL playoffs in the same bldg. Fans threw some Whalers hats on stage and EC and some of the band members wore the hats for most of the show. Now that's appreciating your audience. I know cause I was there.

    I was at this show. The people on the floor of the Hartford Civic Center stood for two and a half hours. It was that kind of show. The hats were tossed on stage about halfway through. UConn had been in the NCAA tournament and the Hartford Whalers were in the NHL playoffs. They picked up the hats and wore them for the rest of the show.

    Saw Mr. Clapton many years ago at the old Three Rivers Stadium. He was out front doing some riffs, the spot light on him, jamming away, and he took his hands away from the guitar, put his arms in the air, and the riffs kept going. The spotlight moved to the right and on Yvonne Ellliman, and she was wailing on without missing a lick. Lots of people can jam like their the best. Why rate them, just enjoy it!!

    @bobbydazzler8684 3 роки тому +2

    As a huge EC fan, I find this rather boring. The intro was ZZ Top-lite and I've never enjoyed the mid-tempo version of Crossroads. It's in the set as a crowd pleaser, but it lacks any real urgency or passion. Clapton obviously flavours the solos with some very tasty playing, but I'd rather hear it in something he's feeling. Compare this dull affair with anything he plays during the live shows supporting From the Cradle - he's on fire!
