I'm going to see Eric Clapton and Roger Daltrey in Memphis on March 5. I've never seen Clapton in concert. My wife has seen his twice and said he's amazing. I'm just pumped. Is it March yet?

"Clapton’s concerts with Beck actually take place between the opening dates of his own solo tour, so maybe, fingers crossed, Beck will join Clapton’s touring band full time. Throw in Daltrey’s involvement and that’s the makings of a pretty kick-ass supergroup. We’re just saying…"

Oh yeah. We'll spend the weekend on Beale. I've driven by Graceland countless times, but I've never actually done the tour. It's only about a 2 hour drive from my house, but I live in Tupelo. he was born here. Actually, I've never been to his birthplace either. I may actually do both in a weekend this summer.

Clapton's been doing that for ages. That's why the Cream reunion was so sweet. Just bass, guitar & drums. Eric had to kick it up a couple notches.
Really?? I don't recall him starting it until right before the original Crossroads festival. I guess I had been more familiar with the names (Doyle Bramhall II, Derek Trucks...etc) lately.

Clapton's had a second guitarist in his bands since the md to late 70s. Wish I could have seen the Clapton/ George Harrison band, but they only did Japan- I think in the early 90s.

Have fun! I may have to hit up the Atlanta show.

Clapton's collaboration with Dwayne Allman, Derek and the Dominoes, is one of my favorite bands of all time. Nothing but straight jammin... for hours

Saw Clapton and Mark Knofler in Denver several years ago. They came out for an encore and did Dire Straights "Money For Nothing" WOW!!! Best show I have ever seen.

Let us know how it is. I hope I can get around to see him before he is done playing. He doesn't come to Indiana a lot if ever though :(

Clapton's awesome live. I'll go every time I get a chance, too bad he isn't coming to Utah.

Wonderful concert! I was in awe the whole time. Roger Daltrey opened up and sounded great. Much better than the Super Bowl halftime show. Clapton was awesome. It's hard to express in words just what it's like seeing/hearing him live. He makes it see so effortless. Anyway, if he's coming to your area and you have a chance to see him, do it.

If he comes to Indiana,Chicago, or Ohio I will definitely be seeing him.
How much were tickets?
