Eric Clapton Takes London By Storm: Night 3 At The R.A.H.

20 May 06

Friday night, 19 May 2006 was Night 3 of Eric Clapton’s London residency. The setlist was almost the same as some of the previous nights, songs that are now really worked into a solid groove. The audience was treated to blistering versions of "I Shot The Sheriff", "After Midnight" and an awesome 13 minute version of "Little Queen Of Spades". As with previous dates on the tour, The Robert Cray Band opened.

Some quotes from concertgoers:

The expectations of any show at the RAH have the same grandness as the venue itself. Eric’s show last night was no exception. The band did not disappoint. – Darryl Tallantyre

No word is strong enough to describe the show. Two hours of pure emotion. – Olivier Schmid
