Hi friends,
I've read on a Brazilian newspaper (bad, available for us in Brazil just as import) that the show has been released on DVD;
I haven't watched it on live broadcast neither on VHS, please, does anyone know if the DVD feature all EC performance ?
Cheers,
Andre

A nice piece on Buddy Guy appeared in the Chicago Sun-Times last Sunday
(including a couple of brief EC mentions). As you might recall, Buddy is
up for a Grammy for "Sweet Tea" in the contemporary blues album
category. I'll be rooting for him Wednesday night!
Here is the link (which should be good for a few more days).

Also, here is a link to a photo of the future new home of Buddy Guy's
Legends. The new 700 seat club, which will be double the size of his
current place, should be open by early 2003. Hmmm. Looks pretty corporate
from the exterior. http://www.buddyguy.com/building.html
Enjoy!
Sandy

LOL :~}
First of all, many thanks to Sean for this lovely set. It's definitely the
best sound to come out of the tour and an excellent show to boot (heh heh
heh).
Second, it's my turn to spread the wealth (as it were).
The first 5 people who send me their full names and addresses to me offlist
will get their copies of the show.
Send it to me at:
breidiii@optonline.net
with
Budokan Offer - I DON'T WANT NO CHEESY IMITATION!!!
in the subject line.
In return you will get the show PLUS
~ it will be on gold CDRs copied on a music industry-grade duplicator
~ it comes with deluxe, full-colour inserts suitable for clear, see-through
jewelbox cases
~ it comes with deluxe, full-colour CD labels
~ it comes with a full track and time listing
I will only reply to the first 5 respondents. I'm truly sorry and do not
want to seem rude but I do not have the time to answer a lot of e-mails for
the purpose of telling someone that they didn't make the cut. I have an
awful lot going on in my life right now, including some sick chameleons, so
I just can't do it. If you don't get a reply, it means you were not in the
first 5 and you should go after another offer.
As to the inevitable questions about the artwork; when you get it, if it
looks like the stage at Madison Square Garden in June last year, just tell
yourself it's not.
The same requirement of passing on the music to 5 other Slowhanders applies,
please.
Cheers!
Bryan

Hi everybody here
Nah nah...
The times they are a-changin'...
Pilgrim tour vs Reptile tour...
Here's from NME.com (Feb 25 with my very little edition)
'YESTERDAY' ONCE MORE!
SIR PAUL McCARTNEY made a surprise guest appearance at a tribute concert in
memory of his late former bandmate GEORGE HARRISON in LIVERPOOL February 24,
2002.
The gig, a 2,300 sell-out in the city's Empire Theatre, was held to raise
funds for cancer charities. McCartney took to the stage at the end of the
show saying: "I thought I should just come on and say how much George would
have loved this." He sang an a cappella version of 'Yesterday' to loud
cheers and hollers.
Earlier, veterans including Gerry And The Pacemakers, Steve Harley, Pete
Wylie and Ralph McTell had performed.
***The show came on the eve of what would have been Harrison's 59th
birthday. ***
"The audience was brilliant, the acts were brilliant," McCartney said later.
"It's been a very emotional evening and a good bit of craic."
The show closed with a finale of Harrison classic 'My Sweet Lord'.

Dear Slowhanders,
Two days ago Scott Wallenberg posted here great Hubert Sumlin bio.
BTW, SD V2001 # 52:
'There is a nice article in the April [2001! - N.Th.] issue of the magazine
"Blues Revue" discussing the new Hubert Sumlin CD "About Them Shoes" that
E.C. plays on. Although the material from this session was recorded about a
year a go it is now scheduled for a late-Spring [2001! - N.Th.] release.
E.C. plays guitar and sings on 2 tracks.'
(End of citation)
As far as I know from SonicNet.com (Eric Clapton, Keith Richards Joining
Hubert Sumlin In Studio, Apr 11, 2000) Eric took part in "I'm Ready" and
"Long Distance Call". The album also includes contributions from Charlie
Watts and Bill Wyman, Ringo Starr and Steve Winwood.
CDNow, Amazon - no info...
Anybody knows where's the album?
Thank you,

Pollstar just posted the concert at Buckingham Palace June 3. EC as well as
Aretha Franklin, Paul McCartney, Phil Collins and others are listed. Will
this be televised? It would be great to see a duet with Aretha.

I owe someone a trade for the Tulsa show, but I can't remember who it is. Or
at least I think I do. I don't trade very often so I'm usually more
organized about it. But I'm also getting old. If you sent me that show,
please let me know if I reciprocated. I don't have it checked off in my
files.
