You can find this in the Forum, but for anyone who doesn't venture into that section of the website, here you go - something I cut out of a review from the Oslo Eric Clapton show.... After Midnight" bridged into "Little Queen Of Spades" and tonight this one got the royal treatment.Easily the best tune of this night it stretched out for a loong ride on the magical carpet..trading solos, adding some tribal bazz..it really rode the heavens.The most magical , and the most disappointing moment of the evening came when Derek did his slide solo right at the end..this time he pushed the envelope, and Steve Jordan, the drummer sensed what as going on..so he shifted into an african beat like drumming ..supporting Derek all the way while the notes flowed seamlessly..it had a special indian raga flavor ..it built and built and it lasted a long while..this time the "Songline" was being built in the city of Oslo..After ending his solo Derek got another standing ovation, but my mistake was probably when I looked Eric rite then..he was mighty pissed, and the look he shot Derek could fry a norwegian granite boulder..the maestro was not amused. The rest of the show was so and so..nothing special, but solid work all over.
