Eric Clapton, backed by Jools Holland and his Orchestra, was the headliner at the Tsunami Relief Concert on 22 January 2004.

Jools Holland performed two numbers before being joined by Eric for six songs to close the show. Eric and Jools did their best to get the crowd moving and warmed up with an all-blues set that featured some surprises.The songs performed were:

Reconsider Baby
Little Queen of Spades
Willie & The Hand Jive (from Eric's classic 1974 album "461 Ocean Boulevard")
Every Day I Have The Blues
Love Her With A Feeling
Shake Rattle & Roll (All Star Encore)

"Willie & The Hand Jive", despite no guitar solo from Eric, was a treat and featured an outstanding saxophone solo. "Every Day I Have The Blues" - which featured two great solos from Eric - was played at lightning pace. Without skipping a beat, the band went directly into "Love Her With A Feeling". After a brief break, Eric, Jools Holland and his musicians returned to the stage accompanied by Embrace and GLC for the encore.
