Eric Clapton & His Band: Tokyo Budokan, Tokyo, Japan

Review posted in Japan Tour 2006 | Last modified on 23 Nov. 2006

Today Eric Clapton and his band did play "Anyday" instead of "Before You Accuse Me". For the rest same set as previous Tokyo show.

Review by Tsuzuki Hiroyuki

The acoustic set starting, a spotlight is thrown on Eric. He sits down and begins to sing "Drifting ". This is one and only situation where a large audience's attention is concentrated on him. Other performance is like a jam session. Eric doesn't make himself conspicuous, devoting his energy to the fulfillment of the blues band. All the players are struggling to create imaginative music by means of the interplay of guitars, bass, drums and keyboards.
It's probable an enthusiast for Eric gets unsatisfied with the character of the show.
But I'm much pleased with this battling gig.
Tonight "Anyday" was played for the first time at Budokan. I hope the set list will change constantly.
