Soundcheck/rehearsels
Critic George Varga from the San Diego Union Tribune
reviewed: "Thursday's show was the sole date to feature a cameo by
Cale, who has long been one of Clapton's idols. Sitting side-by-side
with Derek Trucks and Doyle Bramhall, Clapton and Cale amiably sang and
played together on such Cale-penned gems as 'After Midnight' [and] 'Cocaine'. Clearly delighted, Clapton beamed and grinned throughout Cale's five-song guest spot."[11]
Rhythm guitarist Doyle Bramhall II told the online magazine The Wall Street Journal
that "[we] were in the middle of a tour when Eric brought J. J. on for
the show in San Diego, so it felt like we were a well-oiled band ready
to support; Eric and J. J. could just let go and not think about
anything other than the magic they were creating." When Bramhall II was
asked about the performance, he described it as a "slide-guitar
orchestra" and added: "It was a very high energy song and I remember
feeling like we were holding on to it like a ride."
