I think I saw them sometime between 89 and 91 at the Providence Civic Center. Forgot who opened but they were great and played for well over 2 hours just rolling from one song to the other for the 2 sets. Ian had a great stage presence combined with masterful flute, guitar and vocals. I can't imagine anyone playing flute in that era not having a calling to try some of the stuff they did musically. And the vocals / songwriting was just great and remains that way to the day. You look at a 1977 dodge and you say OMFG how could that have existed, but you listed to their songwriting and lyrics and it is as modern as the rising sun in the morning.
Used to love EC back in the day. Have an 89 blackie paid with 2 years of lawn cutting money as a yute to "prove it". Went to Christiania to take a pic of the Clapton is God graffiti, and wore out his early career records and tapes on the record and walkman as a young'in. He's a very good guitarist but there is just something in the emotion of his blues style that for me is missing since the early 70's. He had that feel for the blues before the cocaine and frantic late 70's and 80's but I find his music to lack in tone and feel albeit being technically on the spot. Saw him 3 times and had that same vibe coming away live.

Saw Tull in the early 70s at the Springfield Civic Center. Wonderful show. Such a unique sound.
Unfortunately, Livingston Taylor was the opening act. Not exactly a good fit. Some people actually booed him when he came back for an encore.
I was alternately pleased and disappointed in the show. Opening act was Jimmy Vaughan,who played for maybe 45 minutes. I'm just not a fan of that music. Clapton played what I would consider a somewhat lazy 90 minutes or so. Nothing he played was an extraordinary example of his talents. He chose to do acoustic slow temp versions of classic rocker gems Layla and After Midnight. Overall,he ignored most of his own catalog of hits for decent covers of Blues. Glad I went,had fun,but came away less than awe inspired. And oddly,he never addressed or acknowledged the audience.

Remember the trivia question "Who played for the Bruins, Celtics and Red Sox"? The legendary John Kiley of course who played organ for the locals at the old Garden and Fenway. Jesse Ed Davis would be the answer to "Who played with this All Star lineup?"

He played with Dylan, Clapton and Lennon: the unsung genius of guitarist Jesse Ed Davis
He was the go-to session guitarist for some of the biggest music stars of all time yet his incredible highs and tragic lows have often been overlooked

Don't watch much football anymore, all they do is pass. Back in my era they gave the ball to Jim Nance or Jim Taylor and did this.
Surprised there are a few here that aren't getting aboard the A.J. train. Might not have much of an impact after all's said and done especially if he leads with another roundhouse left starting off a scrap against a heavyweight
like he did against the Flyers the other night. But for now I'm pulling for the longshot, we all hafta' have a dream.
"Come with me and leave your yesterday behind and take a giant step outside your mind"
