Concert-goers had this to say to Where’s Eric!:

All the Dominos songs were a treat, especially those new on display… The highlight of the evening for me (pushed hard by "Queen Of Spades") was "Oughta Change. – Peter Cross

The set on this tour is outstanding and the ideally suited to the 3-pronged guitar assault. The evening rattles along at a pretty relentless pace with only the sit-down set for a breather. The Dominoes and early EC numbers give the wonderful Derek Trucks an excellent framework to astonish the assembled punterage with his jaw-dropping slide. – Andy Balcam

Brilliant set list with a good mix I was looking forward to Motherless Children and was not disappointed. It was worth the ticket price alone to see & hear, nice also to see Eric dipping into his back catalogue which as the programme reminded us is extensive. – Roger Hack
