Photo Credits: © EasyNow - UPDATED 29 MAY 2008: VIDEO "ROCKIN' CHAIR" ADDED Review from the photographer: The concert was alright, but still not as good as Tampa was in my opinion. The opening was interesting, because Eric played slide on Motherless Children and then continued playing slide throughout the intro to Key to the Highway. Doyle is playing very well, but Eric is leaning on him to play more of the parts that Eric had been doing, himself, in the past. Sometimes Eric was inspired, but more often than not he seemed to be in cruise control mode. Some good playing by Eric on the interesting songs, but nothing really spectacular except, surprisingly, on Drifting.

UPDATED 28 MAY 2008: Date adjusted! Eric Clapton - The Borgata Hotel, Atlantic City NJ - Saturday 24 May 2008 (private concert)

UPDATED 23 MAY 2008 After a short break the tour resumed on Thursday, May 22 with a concert at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, New Jersey. Opening for Eric was Robert Randolph & The Family Band, who also opened for the 2004 World Tour. Report from a fan: Truth be told, the performance was not as good as Tampa. Set list was the same as Hollywood, except for the order. Outside Woman Blues was played after Little Wing and before Double Trouble. After Double Trouble, they did Don't Knock My Love. Highlights were Hoochie Coochie Man, Double Trouble (of course), Little Queen of Spades, and (surprisingly) Cocaine. The band seemed less energetic and less well rehearsed than they were in Tampa. Overall, the performance was less fluid, and even though Eric played well at times, there was less of the great "jam band" feeling I described in Tampa. In particular, the sit down set dragged and seemed dull. (Rocking Chair is like listening to Over the Rainbow.) Irrespective, it is still great to hear this set of songs (Tell the Truth, Little Wing, etc.) even on an off night.

Updated 24 May Setlist corrected: order of songs adjusted Setlist: 01. Tell The Truth 02. Key To The Highway 03. Hoochie Coochie Man 04. Little Wing 05. Outside Woman Blues 06. Double Trouble 07. Don't Knock My Love 08. Drifin' 09. Rockin' Chair 10. Motherless Child 11. Travelling Riverside Blues 12. Running On Faith 13. Motherless Children 14. Little Queen of Spades 15. Before You Accuse Me 16. Wonderful Tonight 17. Layla Encore: 18. Cocaine 19. I've Got My Mojo Working (with Robert Randolph) Photo's: mavrixonline
