The second show of Eric Clapton’s two night 70th birthday celebration was rescheduled from Saturday due to a New York Rangers hockey playoff game. There had to have been a few unhappy campers in the building who thought they were going to get a big Saturday night out for their efforts only to find out that Monday morning and, for many, work would follow the Sunday festivities. 

Anyone hoping for a revamped setlist, or additional special guests, would find themselves disappointed as the concert took the same form as Friday, without “Cocaine”, and ended ten minutes before 11 PM which is the apparent betwitching hour before union overtime kicks in. A great show, to be sure, but I know that despite the solid effort I was not the only one hoping Eric Clapton would change it up a bit for ticketholders inconvenienced by the postponement or those of us crazy enough to shell out the big bucks for a second helping.

After Midnight?

Not tonight

Rock on
