Doug and I saw Eric Clapton at the Pepsi Center in Denver two nights ago. I have gone to A LOT of concerts, and love live music. However, there simply aren't words to describe the experience of seeing Eric Clapton perform live. This was the best concert I have ever been to, hands down, no question, he is amazing and that doesn't even begin to describe it.
When I am 115, I will still remember seeing "Layla" performed live, it is a memory I will retain purposefully.
Doug and I had a great time. It was just the two of us, and our seats were in the 12th row, directly in the center. I could see Clapton smile and laugh, sigh and close his eyes while he was playing.
We took the light rail from Lone Tree to the Pepsi Center, which was fun, but probably not something we would do again, just because it took so long and as it turned out we didn't see any traffic on Interstate 25, which runs parallel to the light rail route.
There's more, including a funny store about the couple we sat across from on the way back, and something about Doug telling me to let him know if we both had to jump up quickly. (Both of them were really drunk. Doug and I were both greatly relieved to overhear them call their kids for a ride home from the light rail station since neither one could have possibly driven.) But I'll save all that for another post later.
