    I was there and watched Eric Clapton singing Layla. Can't believe that I saw him in concert here in Manila.

    I was there. It was very good until some group of knuckleheads started burning newspapers up in the bleachers during the song cocaine. Eric stopped playing playing and left the stage.

    He was ticked off the following day when he saw in the papers that it featured the stampede that occurred when he started playing 'cocaine'

    I was there on that very memorable day . I got the ticket from a scalpel because tickets were all sold out so, I took a chance buying just to see one of my guitar heroes. I almost got jailed for having a long hair. For there's a bunch of drug busting guys inside the theater and I was one who they grab who's sporting a shoulder length hair. They put me in a room full of guys with long hair and the stupidest thing to think that we are all drug addicts. Luckily I thought of bribing that one guy 50 bucks which is a big deal those days. A minute before the show starts I got outta there and sprint running to my seat where fans are all screaming when the man EC came out with his blackie Fender guitar. Wow! It is just an awesome ???????? feeling in the world for me as a blues guitarist myself to hear and see him play live. I never told my wife about this for I saved money without her knowledge just for that big event. It is the very first time that I watched a live concert. Never forgot that feeling up this day especially when I hear the songs Layla and Cocaine with those strat sound guitar riff intros. Why a trip man!
