Review by Richard Walker
Went to the second Cardiff show and travelled from Leicester to see it. Was well worth the six hour round trip as Eric was as good as ever. The set list had not changed from previous nights. However, the songs seemed refreshed especially Driftin which was an excellent version in my view. Always enjoy the sit down session and to me this highlighted Eric’s excellent guitar playing. Often simple but very effective.
Customary ending of Cocaine and a rousing Crossroads for an encore rounded off the night. Wouldn’t say no to a live cd coming out with songs from recent tours.

Firstly a mention for Andy Fairweather-Low and the Low Riders. Fantastic opening act with some real crowd pleasers and a lot of entertaining banter! Eric kicked off the show with a magnificent rendition of Key To The Highway, setting the standard high for the rest of the night with no less than three guitar solos. Old Love was full of soul with Eric’s voice in top form. A little mix up with the lyrics in I Shot The Sheriff didn’t phase him one bit as he rolled his eyes and continued with a fantastic solo. What really stole the show for me though was the acoustic set. Starting off with Driftin’ and Nobody Knows You When You’re Down And Out and finishing with Layla. Obviously a special mention for the slow beat acoustic version of Still Got The Blues, which was an excellent tribute to the late Gary Moore. The second electric set was kicked off with Badge and Wonderful Tonight and closed with Cocaine. Before You Accuse Me was a particular highlight. Tim Carmen and Chris Stainton on absolute top form with extended solos throughout the show. Eventually the end of the show loomed and we were left waiting for an encore which came in the guise of Crossroads, an excellent end to the night.
