I'm guessing with his limited touring schedule at this point, these might be the only two U.S. shows.

However, give me either an Atlanta or Nashville show please.

March 2017: Eric Clapton Returns To North America For 4 Shows In NYC & Los Angeles

Celebrating A 50 Year Career, Music Icon Eric Clapton Announces 2017 North American Shows Presented By Chase
Two Nights at Madison Square Garden in New York City: March 19 & 20
Two Nights at The Forum in Los Angeles: March 25 & 26
Gary Clark, Jr. and Jimmie Vaughan as Special Guests

Celebrating his 70th birthday last year, Clapton wrote a heartfelt note in the program that began “I swear this is it, no more…..I know I've been threatening retirement for the last fifty years, but I didn't think I'd ever really want to stop. I love what I do and always have done, but over the last few decades I've found what I was always really looking for, a loving family who love me just the way I am, which means I can relax and rest when I need to, and more and more I treasure the beauty of that....” The letter went on to say, “Hopefully, I might be able to remember and breathe some life into this old stuff…. in truth believe me, with these great guys to play with, I'll be having the time of my life!”

Having said that, Eric Clapton announced today - 28 November 2016 - his only North American shows for 2017, a series of concert dates at two famed venues: New York’s Madison Square Garden and Los Angeles’ Forum. The shows will be a celebration of 50 years in music and just as many decades performing at these two legendary venues. Legendary guitar players Gary Clark, Jr. and Jimmie Vaughan will be special guests at the shows.

This celebration of Eric Clapton’s iconic career is the latest initiative in a series of exclusive partnerships between Chase and Clapton that originated when Chase became the presenting sponsor in support of the 2013 Crossroads Guitar Festival. More recently, Chase offered its customers an exclusive free iTunes download of Clapton’s newest album, “I Still Do”.

The Band:
For the two shows in each city, Eric will be accompanied by his band members Walt Richmond, Steve Gadd, Nathan East, Chris Stainton, Sharon White and Michelle John.

Eric Clapton's 2017 North American Concerts:
Sunday, March 19 New York Madison Square Garden
Monday, March 20 New York Madison Square Garden
Saturday, March 25 Los Angeles The Forum
Sunday, March 26 Los Angeles The Forum

The poster is a little confusing, is Chase Bank opening for Clapton, his backing band or is Clapton opening for Chase?
