Note: An incredible show - could be the best performance of the Far East tour
(compare with the 28th). An excellent performance of "Going Down Slow" - nice use of dynamics,
great range from loud to soft. On this night, Gadd really finds the pocket with the drums.
"Broken Hearted" - what a wonderful version of this song. Andy really contributes some nice backing
rhythm guitar on this one. An Awesome "Sunshine" - one of my all time favorites. EC ends "Old
Love" and immediately kicks into Sunshine with a molten solo. A great outro, too. I also like how
he introduces himself, too: "On Guitar and Vocals: Eric Clapton".
Before "Broken Hearted" Someone in the audience calls out and EC responds:
EC: Thank you. Fan (faintly): Happy Halloween! EC: Happy Halloween, yeah right! Thank you very much. Fan: Don't forget (unintelligible) EC: You What? Don't forget what? Fan: Happy (unintelligible) EC: Aw, you've lost me now. Well this is another one, this one is called Broken Hearted.
