Fans' concert reviews write a review
Disgusted doesn't even cover how I feel, I have been a Clapton fan all my life.
My husband and I decided we would take our teenage children to see him they are (13 15 and 17) as you can imagine 5 tickets are not cheap, we chose Clapton so that their first ever concert would be one to remember.
Well I'm sure they will NEVER forget!
I can only guess that the technical issues became unbearable. Eric stormed off as though he was in a recording studio and things were not going well, ....did he forget that there were approx. 7000 paying customers cheering and clapping; until he just walked away. He may just have walked off stage but the ramifications are probably just becoming apparent. Can he ever play Glasgow again or should he hang up his guitar, and I've been a fan for 25 years.
As this is the 2nd time I have saw Clapton live, I expected to be in for a treat. well his guitar skills never failed they never do. Its a shame hes so moody because he spoiled an other wise great night with his strop. From where we were sitting the sound was good. I took my 3 kids to see him and 9,000 + other fans payed £60 plus for their tickets ... I'm sure he will enjoy all of our hard earned cash ... no signs of even a partial refund for a partial concert.
I thought EC looked totally disinterested right from the start. It took him over half an hour to say hello to the audience and that was the only interaction he had with them all night. On the plus side his guitar playing was immaculate as ever and I particularly enjoyed his acoustic set, with a definite hint of emotion coming through during 'Tears in heaven', understandably so. However any good points were lost when left the stage in a strop over a feedback issue. A really poor ending to an overall fairly disappointing concert.
