PLAYING IT SAFE

seen him 3 times now. still has a great voice, but didn't play one song that really "rocked " the house. so many to choose from, but even layla was the acoustic version. almost exclusively ballads. paid top dollar for seats on the floor and feel let down. if he wasn't eric clapton i would have felt cheated.

CLAPTON & CO GREAT. SOUND NOT GREAT.

I took my 21 year old daughter to see Clapton. We LOVED it! ALL the musicians were excellent! Jimmie was astonishing, especially playing guitar in the back of his head. Clapton was great. I hope I have things going well when I reach 78! And the camaraderie between them was fun. BUT the sound and acoustics at the Ball Arena was TERRIBLE! Difficult to hear voices. Distortion. The Ball Arena might be great for an Avalanche game, but NOT for a concert. Really disappointed in this respect.

ERIC CLAPTON

Never again will I step foot into the Ball Arena for a concert. Terrible acoustics, terrible sound system and terrible seating arrangements. This type of sit down acoustics is for a night club, not a huge venue meant for a sporting gathering. Eric is great, but we were not there to sleep.

90 MINUTES OF UNWANTED WARM UP BANDS

I did not rush to get to MSG on time and pay $800 for four tickets to be subjected to 90 full minutes of warm up bands I totally disliked. Eric Clapton of course was great, but he played for barely more than 90 minutes himself. What a disgrace.

DISSAPPOINTIN

Was excited to see Clapton last night in Tampa (9/25/21) but was very disappointed. Going through the motions. No interaction with the audience, seemed bored. No Cream or Yardbirds songs and a boring version of Layla.. People pay good money to hear the songs they grew up loving. Eric, obviously doesn't get it. Don't waste your money

BALL ARENA 9/26/23

Jimmy Vaughn was horrible. He's playing in a name. That's it. I suspect Eric feels some sense of guilt considering Stevie died leaving one of his concerts therefore he's carrying Jimmy. Eric had no horn section and no percussion section. It was essentially a sit-down show and the acoustics were absolutely horrible. Not sure if it was the Ball Arena or his sound system or the engineering of his sound system but the sound was absolutely atrocious. His setlist was pathetic. He could have come out and rocked the house, but instead he put everyone to sleep. He just went through the motions to collect his huge paycheck and it was terribly disappointing. Especially considering I spent over $600 a ticket because I knew it would be the last time I would ever see him. 👎👎👎

SO SORRY FOR HIM

I have no idea who was doing his sound at the mix but I left after 3 songs that was painful
