You're not supposed to watch it for hours and hours!

If you add up all the others just like him from the past, the minutes
you've
listened add up quickly to hours.

Then, there's this guy:

Check his schedule. Go see him. Amazing.

Pass the barf bag! My guitarist thinks Robben Ford is a god. He dresses like
him, and owns a Baker guitar, which can't cut it on stage. All this to
emulate a guy who was goofy enough to think he could cover a song like
"Peace Love & Understanding", and ended up castrating it instead. Same with
his version of Homework, which can't hold a candle to the J. Geils version.

I'm starting to get it now. You don't like any guitarist who's
innovative. I love to see a good guitarist take someone else's song and
make it their own, as opposed to playing at the Ramada Inn covering pop
songs.

Damn - this is amazing...

Yeah right.

When a person is famous & wealthy & respected by many,
certain people will hate that person and say ugly things
about them.

This is too funny.

Yes Doug, I am now saying this because he is famous and wealthy.
ROTF!!

Believe it or not I actually like Clapton and have since his early
years........why else would I have gone to his concert in the late
'70's/early '80's at the Richfield Coliseum?




You have shown many times that you're the latter sort of person.

DSK


Wow, we not enter into personal attacks because you do not believe my
story. Why am I not surprised? Oh yes, because you have shown many
times that you are that sort of person.

Jim, how many times have you shown here that YOU are "that sort of
person"? Going off on another of your monthly period bipolar rants?

Damn - this is amazing...

I can believe it. He's not a natural born prick, but sometimes , some
things can torque a guy off, and stuff can end the wrong way.

Absolutely! Just look at you when you go off on your monthly period
bipolar rants.

Damn - this is amazing...

Good move Kevin, now you will have Doug Kanter nipping at your heels too.

When do I go on "Bi-polar" rants.

I'm not much into transisters, though. I work with a lot of DC current
what a bunch of Diodes so , I guess that would count me out...LOL!

If you were a transistor, it would mean that one charge was higher

I do not believe that for a second. That would be very

Richfield Coliseum in Richfield, Ohio. Late 1970's to early 1980's.
;-)


That does it for me. Now I *have* to find the live CD they recorded at
that concert. I don't have anything else in my collection that ends
with the band walking off the stage all p'd off, or features the sound
of one hand clapping in a half empty hall. This will be a real
collector's item someday.

Quote from his discography:

Eric Clapton - Cleveland [2CD] 6/2/79 Richfield Coliseum, Cleveland,
Ohio 2CDR SBD 46,45min This show, recorded at Richfield Coliseum on 2
June 1979, is the only known soundboard recording to surface from this
tour. It has rare tracks like "If I Don't Be There By Morning" and
"Watch Out For Lucy".

End quote.

Somehow they managed to get a full 45-minute set down. (At least, as
there may have been some stuff deleted from the recording). I wonder
how long they would have played if they hadn't walked off in a huff?

Thanks for the tip, JimH. This will be one for the music library. :-)

Damn - this is amazing...

Don't know. But they did walk off before a full concert. Check the
attendance at that show Chuck and you will find it was far less than 1/2
capacity (the Coliseum was the Cleveland Cavaliers basketball arena).

Once my curiosity is aroused, I can be as relentless as a terrier with
a chew toy. Bad personal trait, I know.

Turns out there was more than one recording made that night. The first
CD I already referenced and this one:

http://www.geetarz.org/reviews/clapt...r-required.htm

"No Longer Required" is a double album, but there are only 6-8 songs
per disc.
So, was the show longer than you remember and these numbers included
long solos and a lot of jamming, or did Clapton flee the scene after
just a 12-song set? The reviewer's notes of the concert said that the
most unusual thing to occur was Eric Clapton dedicating a song to
bandmate Albert Lee in honor of Lee's impending marriage, but if they
edited out the part where Clapton said, "To hell with Cleveland! If you
can't completely fill the house like my normally rabid fans everywhere
else we're just outa here......", and if the reviewer was writing from
the recording and not present at the show then the reviewer missed all
the fireworks.

Aha, I just figured out a way to tell whether the Cleveland show was
any briefer than others at the time.... I'll be back. :-)

Damn - this is amazing...

Looks like he also played a 12-song set in Saginaw on June 5th.
