24 Oct 06

Eric Clapton and his band have been on the road in the United States and Canada since 16 September 2006. This leg of the 2006 / 2007 Tour stopped in 18 cities before arriving in Miami on 23 October for the final night before a two and a half week break.

The set list from Miami’s American Airlines Arena included chestnuts from Eric’s back catalog, such as "Anyday", "Cocaine", "Layla", and "Running On Faith". A short acoustic set included, "Key To The Highway", "Nobody Knows You When You’re Down And Out" and "San Francisco Bay Blues." Blistering guitar work from Eric, Doyle and Derek thrilled concert-goers on numbers like "Motherless Children," "Little Queen of Spades" and "Cocaine."

Clapton’s World Tour picks up again in Osaka, Japan on 11 November 2006 with dates in that country thru 6 December. In January / February 2007, the tour moves on to Singapore, Bang Kok, Hong Kong, New Zealand and Australia. More dates are expected in the U.S. later in 2007. Eric’s 23 September 2006 concert in Michigan, which was postponed due to illness, has already been rescheduled for 5 April 2007.
