Clapton’s 2013 Tour Visits Munich’s Olympiahalle

10 Jun 13

Eric Clapton & His Band performed to a sold-out crowd at Munich’s Olympiahalle on Sunday, 9 June. It was EC’s first return to the venue since 2006; it had been a regular tour stop from 1974. Johannes F. checked in with Where’s Eric!: “I saw yesterday Eric Clapton in Munich, a big hall, fully sold out. Eric was very good, he is the best on the guitar alive and that you could really see yesterday! Unfortunately, he just played one song from his new album Old Sock. But luckily all the good old ones: Layla, Tears in Heaven, My Fathers Eyes, Cocaine and I Shot The Sheriff!. It was around 2:15 hours without a break – so great!” Andy Fairweather Low joined the band for the encore, stepping on stage midway through Sunshine Of Your Love.
