I went to see Eric Clapton last night at the HP Pavilion.  I am not a real big fan of Eric Clapton but got a call from my favorite ticket broker and he gave me a price I couldn't refuse to go so there I was in the front row.  Sorry for the poor resolution but I shot this with my poor blackberry. 

 The concert was pretty good, however he did not do the one song I was really waiting to hear which was "Layla".  That was disappointing.  He did play it, but the slow version.  He played some from his new album as well.  I'd have to rate this concert at 6.   One of my friends who went with me and a real Clapton fan as he plays guitar, rated it an 11, so there you are. 

 Living in the Bay Area really allows you so much with the weather, concerts, plays, theatre,location etc... It is truly in my mind one the premiere places to live. 

 Just last week Prince was at the Coliseum almost unannounced.  He gave 3 days notice and filled the place right away.  Unbelievable.
