Rock 'n Roll will never die...

Went to see Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood at the Meadowlands last night. Both of these guys were making music in the '60s. Hell, I saw Winwood and Traffic at the Filmore East back in the day. The thing is that these guys are still playing great music. From high decibel rock and roll to acoustic blues and back again, this concert rocked. They didn't jump around the stage or posture and strut. They simply played great music, and they played it for two and one-half hours straight. Sure, when Winwood did a solo turn, Clapton left the stage, and Winwood did the same when Clapton played solo. But each of them only did one song alone. By the end of the show, the audience was up and dancing. Hell, I was bouncing in my seat from the second song.

It was a great concert. I'm really glad I went. And, when the live CD of this tour comes out, I highly recommend adding it to your library; I know I will.
