Eric Clapton returned to London’s Royal Albert Hall on May 20th for a four day run as part of Eric’s wider 2024 Tour that runs through mid-October.
Before he kicked off ‘“Hoochie Coochie Man,” Eric gave a shout out to guitarist John McLaughlin, who attended the show. John was one of the performers at Eric’s Crossroads Guitar Festival last September in Los Angeles and was also part of the inaugural event in 2004.
Before the acoustic set, Eric acknowledged his Auntie Sylvia’s birthday, telling the audience she turned 91 years old that day. He then sang ‘Happy Birthday’ to her as the audience joined in.
Band members are Nathan East (bass / vocals), Doyle Bramhall II (guitar / vocals), Sonny Emory (drums), Chris Stainton (keyboards), Tim Carmon (Hammond / keyboards), Sharon White (backing vocals) and Katie Kissoon (backing vocals).
