Review by Denise Blackwell
I have been a huge fan and follower of EC since I was 16. I've seen him so many times its hard to guess how many times, but last night was outstanding. Eric was at ease in the Albert Hall and looked comfortable on stage. He was driven all the way by his band and by Doyle who blends so perfectly with Eric. The show was fantastic from the start but even better when Eric left his comfort zone to rock the house down by the end. At the encore of sunshine of your love, I honestly thought Peter Kay had stormed the stage in a second guest appearance stunt, sadly it only took seconds to work out that a fan? had got onto the stage and was tackled to the ground by security. Poor EC it used to be us girls jumping the stage for him now he has large demented men. Doyle and Eric stunned, recovered well and finished the encores fantastically!!! GREAT NIGHT, WORTH EVERY PENNY. Wish I was going to the closing night!!
