Eric Clapton in concert at Antwerpen Sportpaleis
June 1st, 2006 by Pascal Alberty
Yesterday (May 31st), the respectable guitarist Eric Clapton produced a great show in Antwerpen. Blues, Rock, Pop, new songs, old songs (Layla, Cocaine, …), some accoustic version (taken from the faboulous MTV Unplugged album) composed this evening.
I found him a little bit “closed” (always playing solos with closed eyes as usual) with a minimalist public contact (sometimes a “Meurrci bowcu … Thanks you”) … and only a extra song.
But with many musicians (1 trumpet, 2 saxo, 1 bass, 2 guitars + him, 2 keyboards, 2 chorists and 1 drummer), song and show quality was there. This blond hairing guitaris was really amazing during its guitar’s solo (may be more impressive then Eric sometimes).
A good concert which I give 7.5/10.
