Eric Clapton will perform in the Indoor Stadium in Singapore

I'm not sure yet... Me and my band might be in Singapore this January, in time for that concert. I'll let you know if we'll be able to make it there.

No disrespect to Steve Jordan, who is an exceptionally great drummer; but how I wish it would be the legendary Steve Gadd on the drummer's seat for Clapton, if ever I'll be able to watch. Seeing and hearing the great Gadd, in person, playing drums live, would be a dream come true for me.

WOW! I got to hear Derek Trucks playing with Eric Clapton live! Thanks for 430nmtune for calling me from HK and patching in the house feed.

Ganda timing nung tawag mo. Solo ni DT! Lagkit ng tone kahit over the phone. At ang mga linya, nakakakilabot!

430nmtune · « **Reply #14 on:** January 18, 2007, 02:23:40 AM »

hehehe. kararating ko lang. ang layu kasi ng venue. wala kaming nakita na naka 'juan de la cruz' shirt. malamig kasi kya baka nag jacket.
allan roy: hanggang kailan kayo dito?
galing talaga ni derek trucks. kahit anong pa-simple ang gawin nya lutang pa rin ang galing. happy ako na dami nya tinira na ' derek and the dominoes' era. sa crossroads na pa-pa air harp ako hehehe.
i will attempt to sleep now. today is a work day.

Hi we are leaving this morning. Actually nasa airport na ako, We had coffee sa may Tokyo food. I saw some members of the Blue Rats....si Andy and Joey. Ang galing talaga ni Derek Trucks..... ang tindi ng palitan ng guitar licks,,,,,,,, ni clapton at derek. powerful solos were traded by Eric and Derek Trucks, who really made that SG scream with his slidework plusthe powerful bass lines of Willie Weeks. Ay oo nga pala nandoon din si Doyle. Guitar Orgy talaga. Grabe galing ni derek trucks,,ang linis.... Sa sit down set Eric played a Martin acoustic guitar alone in Driftin' Blues. After that , the band came back in Outside Woman Blues. Derek Trucks played a Dobro guitar in acoustic set. For me the highlight a of the show are the powerful sounds that were coming from Eric's Strat especially on lIttle Queen Of Spades.

I think and believe that Eric had the good old Derek & the Dominoes stint in his mind when he added the fantastic amd talented Derek Trucks to complete his band's lineup for his world tour. a couple of my companions hoped that the more mainstream Clapton will show up at the HK show , but bad luck for them.For a blues fan, like me however, that gig was just fantastic

Sayang di tayo nag kita. We hanged out for a while hoping to see some people wearing Juan de la Cruz shirts. I even ask a couple of Pinoys just incase they were with you. We wanted to at least have a few beers with you guys. So after a couple of beers and a lively debate about Derek's and Eric's greatness, we went to catch the express train back to our connections home. We were probably seated a few rows away from you but at the side. Anyway the whole concert was an experience quiet uniquely HK style. Naka upo at dalawang tao lang ang sumasayaw. Until of course the encore....cocaine and layla..........the tune is still running 'round my brain.hehehe.

@deltaslim:
di nabu-o yung patch hehehe. contakin ko na lang si Gerry tungkol sa CDs.

Acoustic set??? Drifting Blues and Outside Woman Blues??? Aaargggh! Stop it guys, it hurts to listen to your stories.

Allan - Sabi ko kay Ricky (430nmntune) na next uwi nya mag-set tayo ng blues night sa Conspi. He plays talaga and even teaches harp and guitar sa HK. Let's all get together and jam. Then you guys can give me your bootlegs of the concert.

@Deltaslim:
Correction bago lumala. hehehe. Hindi ako guitar teacher! Although I play a little my level is at most intermediate. You may have misunderstood me about what i told you....I was teaching a girl how to strum(secretly hoping to go beyond) some 'religious songs' and a couple of B. Dylan songs. hehehe. And a guitar teacher approached us and told me he was a guitar teacher. So we jammed. I did BASIC 12bar rythm and he did some good soloing. It was a bit weird to hear blues songs with a heavy chinese accent . So no guitar......hehehe. I play Harp.hehehe. No Axe. Just Knife.

Mahirap ang bootleg dito sa HK venues. But if there is one I'll try to get it. There use to be a bootleg shop here but it closed or moved to another site. Marami silang hard to find bootlegs pero for some reason very rare ang from HK venues.

@Allan:
Yes , doing something else a bit detached from music. I'm just a blues enthusiast.

deltaslim · « **Reply #22 on:** January 19, 2007, 11:43:33 AM »

But bro, if your blues/music students are singkit HK locals, you ARE a teacher!

Di naman yan gaya ng Singapore na may konting exposure na.

Hehe...
