Comments by DGB : 

Sitting in section 118 2nd block lower level left hand side of stage. I have a fond recollection of this show. Although this show was not comparable to the recent shows that I saw this year (2011) in Vancouver & Seattle, it was vastly superior to Eric's previous visits to Vancouver which, as previously mentioned, were in my opinion 'autopilot' & probably some of the most boring shows I have seen from Eric. This is also likely, why I had lost interest in his music since the mid 90s. 
I do remember that the show started out strong with great versions of 'Tell The Truth' & 'Little Wing' which in my opinion were the highlights of the show. 
The show lost energy & the playing dropped as the show progressed. Overall a good show with some great highlights. Robert Cray's performance was as usual high energy & well worth listening to as well. The sound was very good from where I was sitting . 
Overall a very good recording.

Comments by Boguspomp :

This is the second of many Clapton shows, recorded by DGB, that will be posted here. This show has the number DGB-EC 02. All the other shows will follow, not necessarily in order of their recording dates. It is a privilige to work on these shows and I am grateful, that DGB entrusted me again with his recordings. Our last collaboration created 6 shows, KAR001 - KAR006, including Neil Young, Buddy Guy, Santana...That series will continue too.
For the moment, let's focus on Eric Clapton.
Enjoy the ride.
