Some quotes from concert-goers:
EC was on fire tonight and he was having a blast on stage. It was clear that he is having so much fun this tour. Tonight was an "on night" for both Clapton and Derek Trucks. -- Andrew Percy
I would have like to see longer more sophisticated solos by EC, but I felt he really tried to sing and make an impression. Doyle Bramhall and Derek Trucks are phenominal! -- Justin Stygles
