Review by ANDY P. (originally posted on the dobro of fire yahoogroup) Hello all, just saw Eric at the blue cafe in long beach on sat.
My friend had told me about him for the last 1 1/2 years, and I never went. He saw him all the time at the blue cafe when he played there regularly. I guess I was kinda snobby about how much he praised him and how amazing he said the show was. I probably thought he was over exaggerating. BOY WAS I WRONG!! I cannot remember the last time I saw someone that amazing in a club or an arena. I'm totally inspired again!! The only thing I can compare it to was the video of Stevie Ray at the el mocambo, or Jimi at monterey. Eric is one bad dude and a hell of a nice guy to boot. I've been playing guitar for about 20 years and it's nice to have a new guitar hero!! It took me all of sunday to digest what I had seen and heard the night before, glad to see someone is making real music again with such passion and drive. I'm sure I don't have to tell any of you that, but I thought I'd share my experience. I'm goin' to see him in huntington and hermosa next. I'm in the Los Angeles area, and I see a few of you are local californian's as well, maybe I'll see ya'll there! great site, keep it up!! peace and hair grease, Andy P. in Los Angeles |
