Eric Clapton

 

in general the records the concerts the links
.::  The concerts I visited, 7 to this date, have been the highlights (and one of them especially - but more of that later). I list them here and tell a bit what still is in my memories.

Something I am still mad about today is that I missed especially the FROM THE CRADLE concert. I already wanted to get tickets when someone held me back and I supposed I'll get them for my birthday. Well, the birthday came but no tickets in sight. I think there had been none available anymore. It's a pity, especially here he had all his guitar-babies on board. For almost every song another guitar. So what. Because of some bootleg recordings and Martin Scorsese film I have got an impression of it.

All the concerts took place in the FESTHALLE in Frankfurt am Main.

It is the closest located hall of such size and always has been and still is a fixed anchorage ground in EC tours through Germany.

Many say the acoustic is not good - well I think to this date all concerts (not only EC) that I have attended were good. It's always loud and against that one can use earplugs. As I am an active musician I care very much about not to expose myself to unnecessary loud noises.
