Haven’t seen Slowhand in concert before? You’ve got another chance. Eric Clapton will perform at Time Warner Cable Arena on April 2, 2013.
Nothing against the 67-year-old guitarist, but at this point it’s purely nostalgia – the chance to say “I saw Clapton in concert once,” as you listen to him meander his way through solos and rifle off a number of hits including “Layla” and “Crossroads.”
Clapton’s band for the upcoming tour will include Doyle Bramhall II (guitar), Steve Jordan (drums), Chris Stainton (piano and keyboards) and Willie Weeks (bass). The Wallflowers will be opening.
