What are your plans for the weekend?

[Chris L]

Plan for Saturday is to sit around recovering from the Eric Clapton concert we attended last night.

It was a long show, starting at 7:30 p.m. There were two opening acts, Jimmy Vaughn (Stevie Ray Vaughn's brother) and Gary Clark, Jr. (who must be big, because our Lyft driver afterward geeked out over him), with a half hour of empty stage after each, then Clapton for 90 minutes. He brought on Vaughn and Clark to sing the encore with him as 11 o'clock approached.

The first part of Clapton's set was very blues oriented, then he went into a greatest hits portion: "I Shot the Sheriff," "Layla (acoustic)," "Lay Down, Sally," Tears in Heaven," "Wonderful Tonight" and "Crossroads." The show let out right after 11 and we caught a Lyft back to Amy's office, where we'd left the car. (Concert parking was $25 and tightly packed, so we decided to avoid it.)

(I've added a Concert Thread under Other Artforms/Miscellaneous if you're interested in hearing more details.)
