We went to see Eric Clapton at the Shanghai Grand Theater. He got bad reviews because he didn't play a lot of his famous stuff and only played for about 2 hours. He didn't interact with the crowd much either. We liked it. The guitar playing was awesome. I guess you can do what you want when you are 62 yrs old and have a huge fan base.

I attended this concert which played the first month I arrived in Shanghai for 2 years of work. A mix of locals & expats. Yes, the local press criticized for not doing enough hits, which enabled them to make believe they were on top of American rock/ blues. They falsely reported Eric was booed. The crowd loved Eric & the show. Seeing Clapton in Shanghai while trying to adjust to the arrival shock of China smoothed the transition. If I closed my eyes I thought I was at Winterland in ‘72
