Note
| 09 Dec Wonderful show tonight was!! We could hear a lot of DOMINOS songs. Little Wing and Why doed love and Any Day. I am satisfied very much. Thank you EC and band members. 09 Dec Today is the final show in Japan. I want to enjoy it to impress the last concert on my heart. 08 Dec Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, Surprise again!!!!!!!!! It was Why does love got to be so sad? Also EC played Little Wing. We are very very happy to hear a lot of Dominos songs. I'm exciting still now...... Doyle used JIMI HENDRIX PSYCHEDELIC FLYING V on Little queen. It was very good idea. 06 Dec Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, Tonight's surprise was special. It was LITTLE WING!!!!!!!! It has been 31 years since he played it at Budokan. Tonight EC switched Driftin'→Rambling on my mind 、Any Day→Further On Up The Road. Tonight EC changed 3 songs !!!!! Thank you very very much!!! 05 Dec Tonight, Driftin' was played instead of Rambling on my mind again. Other songs was same as the last show. Budokan had some black cloth because they needed to conceal the vacant seats. EC was very good and alway had a smile. Today I guess Chris and Steve drums were very good. 02 Dec. Today's set list was same as yesterday. Saitama Arena was full. Every members had good performance and they always had good smile. It seems that all members playing make EC inspire. Voice was good. We do not need worry that he has caught a cold. 30th Nov. Todays's surprise was Key to the highway. It was played by electric version. It was very good. Making to Dominos is very good and I'm so glad. EC did two by the rehearsal before the show at Budokan. They were 2 Dominos numbers. Today EC never played these songs. When will EC play???? 29th Nov. Todays's surprise was solo part. Rambling On My Mind was played instead of When you've got a good friend. This sole version was very good. But I think today was not so good. EC's voice was not so good . I'm anxious about his cold................... I don't like PA system. Sound is not so good. 26 Nov I didn't attend the show. So I don't know detail. Venue was not full............... When you've got a good friend was played instead of Driftin'. 5 Long years was not played. So total songs were 16. 24 Nov I guess today was one of the best performance. All tunes were performed very delicate and politely. Every members had very good solo parts. Wonderful show!!! 23 Nov EC changed set list every two days. It was Any Day!!!! EC performed this tune for the first time in Tokyo. Outside woman blues became better. But today was not perfect. 21Nov Today was the same set list as last night. EC had very good play especially Blues songs(Five long years and Old Love and Little Queen) were excellent!! 20Nov Today was the first show in Tokyo. EC had very good play. EC changed the set list again. Pretending was dropped but Five long years was played. 18Nov Today was excellent !! Also set list was changed again. 17Nov Today there was no suprise. Tell the truth was the first song. I expected it, but nothing happened............ It seems to have been what was planned that he played CS-356. http://www.gibson.com/allaccessNewsItems.aspx?aliaspath=/AllAccess/Three%20for%20Three%20on%20Clapton%20Tou 15Nov Tonight set list was changed. Any Day and Driftin' were played again but Further On Up The Road was dropped. Tonight was 17 songs. But today's suprise was ES 335. Eric used red CS356（Sorry I must correct it from ES335 to CS356. But I don't know exactly) just only half of Aftermidnight. Eric used only a few minutes..................... 14.Nov Tonight set list was changed. Any Day and Driftin' were played. I think tonight was the best of this three days. 12.Nov The show was same setlist. EC never used Les paul again. But sound was very good! 11. Nov I'm bust coming in Osaka. I'm looking forward to see the first night of Eric in Japan. Eric start his own blog site in Japan. Please check it out. http://blog.honeyee.com/eric/

To EC
| Thank you very much and welcome back to Japan. It is my opinion. 1)I think that the head suits Pretending. 2)The fan of Japan looks forward to hearing Let it rain and Why does love got to be so sad. 3)5Long yaers is very good. Your blues numbers are very good in this tour. 5)We are looking forward to the surprise at a rare tune. 6)We will have a after show party on 9th Dec. Please attend this party. Hahaha 7)Dolye took my photograph. Please send to me. (24th Nov) 8)Do you catch a cold??? (29th Nov) 9)I think you should play slide on Layla piano part!!(30th Nov) 10)You did two by the rehearsal. I propose you perform as a opening. (30th Nov) 11)There are a lot of fan that they can't attend every shows. So please play other suprice songs if you have extra songs. 12)At last you played Little wing. Thank you very much. Do you know that it has been 31 years since you played it at Budokan?(06 Dec.) 13)Thank you again EC!! I love "Why does love got to be so sad?"(08 Dec) 14)I guess you think that this tour is tribute to Dominos. Please play all your Dominos songs on your hand tonight.(09 Dec) 15) EC, thank you very much about long Japan tour. You played a lot of Dominos numbers. I know that some people around me shed tears. You impressed everybody. Thank you very very much. See you again in Japan. |
