I saw him about 3 or 4 years ago, and was mildly satisfied. It wasn't a great show, certainly considering that I went to see him shine as a solo performer/guitarist. He played with a few different guitarists, one of them who was called Derek Trucks who impressed me on the slide guitar. The band was large, the music was good, but I'd like to have seen a bit more soloing from Eric. If you really want to see him shine go get the Cream, live at Royal Albert Hall reunion DVD that they did in 2005. For a band comprised of only three 60 year olds that was mind blowing.
