Tonight Eric and the band played the first of the four German concerts in Leipzig, Germany. It was extremely hot in the hall, and at first it looked like the concert would be the same as in Iceland. The first song of the concert, "Tell The Truth" didn't sound too exciting. But from then on the concert was fantastic, highlights of the concert were "Hoochie Coochie Man", "Here But I'm Gone" (one of the best versions I have heard so far, 2 fantastic solo's by Eric - 10 mininutes long version ) and "Little Queen Of Spades" (great solo by Chris Stainton).

The band:

Doyle Bramhall II (guitar/vocals)
Chris Stainton (keyboards)
