Eric Clapton
A rare chance to see this legendary guitarist perform live
Why see Eric Clapton?
One Of The Greatest Guitarists Ever
The legendary guitarist and former Cream member us going on his short tour this fall with special guest, fellow blues-rock guitarist Jimmie Vaughan! As both a solo-performer and as part of his bands Cream, Blind Faith and Derek and the Dominos, Clapton has helped define the blues-rock genre with hits like 'Layla', 'Tears in Heaven' and 'Sunshine of Your Love'.
The back-story to one of the world's most successful singer-songwriters and musicians isn't really one of a long struggle to stake his claim in the music world - Clapton's immense talent for the guitar was noticeable from very early on. He joined his first band in 1961 when he'd only just left school. Skip ahead just three years and Clapton's new band, the Yardbirds, were playing the Royal Albert Hall in London. A catalogue of hits unmatched in the world of rock, seeing Clapton live is a must for any music fan.

Eric Clapton at Chase Center
I was fortunate enough to see Eric Clapton at the new Chase Center. He did not let me down. Alot of music from his past and present. the place was rocking to a huge crowd. His backup band featured world class musicans. The show did not lag. I would pay to see him again but I feel that is unlikely due to his limited schedule and venue. The show did start slow with Jimmie Vaughn. I would be nice if he featured his back up musicians more instead of just himself. Those Texas blues get stagnant after a while. The new Chase Center is still working out the kinks. The ushers and usherettes are learning the ropes. I hope they work it out soon. I was amazed at the lack of restrooms. While trying to find one was very difficult. You could easily miss a song while searching for a restroom. All said, the show was great and Chase Center looks like a promising place to see a concert or a Warriors game.

Amazing player
For all that he declares is ailing him, you would never know or see it in the playing he
does. He is, and will always be, one of the greats in world of guitar. Always able to play
effortlessly and flawlessly with every note. We flew in from Colorado just to be there,
and my daughter, who would have little knowledge of him other than some name
recognition, was amazed and thrilled to be there. Everyone of the musicians are
masters of their craft, and all I can say, it was a real treat, play on Eric. ... Read more
