Location: Lake Hiawatha, New Jersey | After seeing Winwood / Clapton's set, I went on Ticketmaster to see what tickets may be available for their shows at the Garden. The good news is that there were some available. The bad news is that they were $175.00 for a bad seat. |

Location: South of most, North of few | Serge, I wasn't referring to you by any means. I personally have hired out my services playing guitar for removing paint from walls. The people in the room seem to claw it off trying to get out. (Hey, how about that, 2000 posts!) :D :p :D |

Location: Yucaipa, California | ...saw it last night.... I agree: Trucks, Winwood & Clapton made it worthwhile, especially the pure joy shown on Derek's face while playing with his heros.... the rest...yawn. Oh yes, we had Pledge Break as a bonus. |

Location: Alberta, Canada | Saw it too, and as a player who can't really play, I enjoyed the whole thing. In fact I taped it so my son can see it when he gets home in a week or so. I really liked the tone of John Mayers guitar. It's the one that stood out for me, but I enjoyed it all.
I applaude Clapton for organizing such a great event. I'm sure historians will thank him. Whether it's forethought or not on his part, many of those players are getting on in years and to have them all at one event is remarkable. |

I especially enjoyed Bill Murray's rendition of Gloria...
He can't really play either, made me feel better. |
