Review by Nadja Teichert
The 4th night of the Tokyo stint was another outstanding show. EC, SW and band seem to go from strength to strength. Highlights were: After Midnight and (launching straight into) Presence of the Lord (GREAT wah-wah); Glad with an excellent solo by EC; Well Alright with great piano work from SW; Pearly Queen; Crossroads; Deriftin’ with really, really fantastic guitar work by EC; Gimmie Some Lovin’ (esp as Steve Gadd + Willie Weeks starts before everybody else is ready) and Voodoo Chile. EC called out "JJ Cale" before the band launched into "After Midnight".
