Eric Clapton & Steve Winwood - 27 June 2009 - Las Vegas, NV MGM Grand Arena

Review by Justin Bradshaw, Las Vegas, Nevada

After deciding that Washington, D.C. would be my last show of this tour, I could not keep myself off of the road! Las Vegas, eight perforamances later, did not disappoint. Both Eric and Steve are clearly enjoying themselves and have continued to experiment with the set. Tonight we were treated to "There's a River", "Low Spark of High-heeled Boys", and "How Long". Highlights included "After Midnight", "Sleeping in the Ground", "It's Too Bad", "There's a River", "Low Spark", another fantastic "Voodoo Chile" and "Dear Mr. Fantasy". Looking forward to the next stop of the tour in Oakland. Stay tuned.
