Clapton collaborations continue in 2010

I think that Eric Clapton has perfected a brilliant touring strategy that yields maximum bang without  the exhaustion of endless gigs - split the bill!

After a successful touring run with former Blind Faith partner, Steve Winwood, earlier this year, Clapton is building on another old familiar, namely a few dates with fellow guitar great Jeff Beck, followed shortly thereafter by an 11-city solo tour. The Clapton-Beck gigs will take place at Madison Square Garden in NYC, and in Toronto and Montreal.

The solo outing begins February 25th in Pittsburgh at Mellon Arena. Of course, “solo” is somewhat of a misnomer. Joining Clapton on this roadtrip is special guest Roger Daltrey. The Who’s frontman just finished up his own solo tour, but doesn’t seem ready to take a break just yet either. The pairing is a perfect bill for a night of classic rock with two musical geniuses.

Stops will include Kansas City, Memphis, Atlanta and New Orleans. Stay tuned for more news to come!
