Eric Clapton @ Yas

[Asterix]

Anyone else going?

[6th Gear]

Yes! Gold Circle tickets. Cannot bloody wait. Saw him last in 96 - Hyde Park.

On a sad note, gutted to hear Gary Moore has passed away. A legend of a guitarist.

[Asterix]

Cool for the Gold Circle tickets - same as ours. Did the Yas Hotel deal which was silly cheap!

Not so cool about Gary Moore.

Missing this one but being dragged (thanks to the son & wife!) to 30 seconds to Mars. They are getting their own back for them missing GnR (which I went to).

Waiting to find out what's going on this weekend work wise.
If nothing, then I'll be trying to get a ticket.

I can't make it on Friday but I quite fancy going to see some of the on-track stuff on Saturday. I don't suppose anyone from Dubai would be able to offer me a lift?

We went for the hotel deal so off this afternoon and back on Saturday.

[6th Gear]

What time is Clapton on stage?

[6th Gear]

Happy to catch up for a pint or two pre show. 0501545871

Gates open 730pm. Does anyone know what time EC hits the stage??

Thanks

[Asterix]

I did try and call Del when I got there but not answer.

fk me - Clapton was simply superb. So effortlessly brilliant.

[K50 DEL]

Lol, I noticed the missed call about 30 seconds before Clapton came on stage!!

He was incredible wasn't he, a great set and proof that he's not lost it.... the guitar playing on the encore was incredible.

I'm still not quite sure how it took us until 1.45am to get back to JBR though!!

[Asterix]

Having been to gigs there before I know what a monumental PITA it is to get away from there. So glad we had a room at the Yas hotel. 15 minute walk back and got tted with a bunch of mates that did the same thing.

[6th Gear]

Clapton was superb as always. Any pistonheads guitarists out there?

Thanks for your call Derek. Shame we didn't get to hook up. we arrived later than expected. We should all catch up for beers soon.
