I loved the show last night. What an amazing opportunity to see two of the greatest guitarists on stage together. And of course it was great seeing Bitch again. Sorry we missed you, Mojoman.

Eric seems to have settled comfortably into an "elder bluesman" sort of attitude. Jeff was superb, although, I preferred the band he had at the RR HOF show.

OK Rocks Off, time for you guys to hear the songs that I managed to video! My hand was a little shaky, more than usual because I could barely keep up with Mojoman at the bar! Always nice to see Sweet Virginia again (she looked HOT in shiny black pants, rock & roll boots and a beautiful black jacket), and Angee, so sorry I was late, but the NYC traffic is always a nightmare. Anyway the show was way cool! First BECK played for about an hour with his orchestra and his female bass player who lays down a mean rhythm. BECK's guitar is effortless, he barely breaks a sweat. Kind of gets a little boring without lyrics though, but I guess Beck's voice sucks. That's what poeple say! Next Clapton came out with his band for about an hour. CLAPTON was bluesing it up nicely and he works his way up from a soft beginning to a loud ending. I love that style! Next, they played the third set together, CLAPTON & BECK side by side, which was really cool! They both looked and sounded really good, top form. The Garden was completely sold out, and the crowd was mostly older fans, some aging gracefully and a bunch of burnt out hippie types, keeping it real in the city! A good time was had by all.

hey i was one of those burnt out zep fans!!!! LOL!!!

would have been great for pagey to have made an appearance to reprise the last time i saw those guys jam for a couple of tunes back in 83 on that same stage! though while missed he was not needed!!!

things certainly started out very cerebrally with JB's set more a recital than a rock concert, not a real suprise considering that JB left rock and roll almost forty years ago and has carved an eclectic but sometimes confounding path since those heady days. i was very skeptical when i read bout the 02 shows but it was mixed very well with the orchestra subdued and the guitar came through well. thank goodness there was no chick singing. one of the highlights was Big Block a very chunky jam from guitar shop an underappreciated gem. A day in the life which prolly was one of the few tunes that most of the crowd recognized and that he has covered for a few years now was nice but not as wild as when neil young shredded on the last time i saw him play there.

baby i'm still amazed after all these years of claptons transition from uber blues rock guitarist to MOR king. why? why? why?  the raging fire consumed by the junk but much more likely it was after he put away the booze. honestly i don't own any studio release after backless. his set was the warhorses, at least JB mixes it up. the set  80% of the people dropped all that dough for. thankfully the unplugged numbers were at the beginning. nothing could be more lame than Running on faith and Rock and roll heart which was as insipid as his commercial. it really picked up once the electric came out, some great jamming and we got one suprise with Little Queen Of Spades.

i dont know whether it was the weather but beck seem to just materialize at the end of erics set. once that happened it was like hitting the afterburner. the show at least for me and a few others went from fridays to rock concert despite all the wives and kids(please leave your nine year old at home!!!) this is what a rock guitar fan like myself lives for, what i fantasize about. words cannot describe the interplay, while not ferocious for a couple of old dudes it smoked. whilst it would have been nice to hear them do a yarbirds thang or layla it was still great and worth every dollar to see it.
