Subject:Re: Clapton DVD w/Preston & Sancious

It is a pretty cool show. I'm not the biggest Clapton
fan either (you either loved the Beatles or the
Stones, and I'm a Jimi fan!), but my dad is, so I took
him. That show was amazing, and his rendition of
"Over The Rainbow" was actually tear-inducing. The
sadness in his voice at his Chicago show just spoke of
all the pain he'd went through in his life.

But anyway, I've seen a package for $28 that has the
DVD and a 2 cd set as well. Might be worth the
purchase if you haven't already purchased the Dvd.

Peace....
