Eric Clapton: Mohegan Sun Night Two
8 Oct 06
In the second concert at Mohegan Sun on 7 October 2006, Eric Clapton and his band presented 17 songs inside of two hours. The show featured several songs from Eric’s 1989 album, "Journeyman": "Pretending", "Old Love" and "Running On Faith". Many fans in attendance were pleased with the extensive nod given to Derek & The Dominos material with "Got To Get Better In A LIttle While", "Anyday", "I Am Yours", "Nobody Knows You When You’re Down And Out" and "Layla" all being included in the night’s set. As with previous shows on the tour, "I Shot The Sheriff" and "Little Queen of Spades" had some of the finest guitar solos of the evening.
The band now heads south to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for one concert. The Robert Cray Band opens at all shows.

Brief comments from fans in attendance:
Motherless Children was played to perfection! Where else are you ever going to see a song played with three slide guitars during the whole song! And tonite Anyday was a total pleasure. Took me back to the Layla Album! – Tom
