ERIC CLAPTON OPENS US TOUR IN COLUMBUS

Eric Clapton opened his 2022 series of U.S. concert dates on September 8 at the Schottenstein Center in Columbus, Ohio.

On the day on which the U.K.'s longest reigning monarch passed away ending a 70 year era of British history, Eric opened the show by playing "God Save The Queen" alone in tribute to Queen Elizabeth II. At the start of the acousitic set, prior to "Driftin," Eric also spoke about his memories of the Queen as a young lad.

The show contained a few big suprises "Tearing Us Apart" as the opening song with the full band, a funky "After Midnight" in the acoustic set and "The Sky Is Crying" which has not been a part of the set list since the January 1984 tour. 

Eric’s band was Doyle Bramhall II, Paul Carrack, Nathan East, Sonny Emory and Chris Stainton with Sharon White on backing vocals.  All shows have Jimmie Vaughan as special guest.
