Some quotes from concertgoers:

The highlights? Possibly every solo EC played tonight. The first half of the show through from Pretending to Let It Rain was played with so much energy. The sit down set showcased Clapton’s ever improving voice and the second half of the set continued on from where the first half left off. – Paul Herbert

I’ve seen Eric 10 times now and he is getting better everytime i see him. He is a fanrasic talent and always a pleasure to go to see. – John Higgins

This was the first time I’d seen Clapton in concert and, as I expected, the musicianship was technically superb and I enjoyed every minute of it. – Craig Jackson
