Does Eric Clapton miss the days of Derek and the Dominos? He kicked off his U.S. tour Saturday in Tampa, Fla., with a set that leaned more heavily on "Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs" than any other album in his storied career.   
Some of it might owe to his band  - Doyle Bramhall II on guitar, Chris Stainton on keyboards and Pino Palladino on bass - as well as the spirit of the opening act, Robert Randolph and the Family Band.
At the Ford Amphitheater on May 3, Clapton played:
Tell The Truth /  Key To The Highway / Hoochie Coochie Man / Little Wing /  Double Trouble /  Don't Knock My Love / Outside Woman Blues / Nobody Knows You / Rockin' Chair / Motherless Child /  Traveling Riverside Blues / Running On Faith / Motherless Children /  Little Queen of Spades / Before You Accuse Me / Wonderful Tonight / Layla /  Cocaine /  Crossroads (with Robert Randolph)

On Monday, Steve Winwood and Eric Clapton performed the first of three nights at Madison Square Garden, opening with a classic from their short-lived supergroup Blind Faith. BF and Traffic dominated the set list and included a mystery tune called "Low Down."
Rolling Stone has a review of their performance of:

Had To Cry Today / Low Down / Forever Man /  Them Changes / Sleeping In The Ground / Presence Of The Lord / Glad>Well Alright /  Double Trouble / Pearly Queen / Tell The Truth /  No Face / After Midnight / Split Decision /  Ramblin On My Mind (EC solo acoustic) / Georgia On My Mind (SW solo) / Little Wing / Voodoo Chile / Can't Find My Way Home / Dear Mr Fantasy / Crossroads

With no word on what plans Ginger Baker has at the end of February,  Steve Winwood and Eric Clapton will perform Feb. 25, 26 and 28 at Madison Square Garden, their first official concerts together in nearly 39 years.  Tickets are being sold first to American Express cardholders, beginning Nov. 12.
The two musicians worked together in Blind Faith - a "supergroup" featuring two members each of Traffic and Cream - and appeared together at the Chicago Crossroads Guitar Festival in July.
In the decades since Blind Faith's lone release, "Had to Cry Today" has never received its proper due as one of Winwood's finest hours. Meanwhile, the 15 minute "Do What You Like" has moved from horrid space filler to significant jam.
Blind Faith went on one tour. It started July 12, 1969 at Madison Square Garden and ended Aug. 24 in Hawaii.
Winwood and Clapton have not yet discussed the set list for the shows - that will be worked out in upcoming rehearsals.
Winwood's last album was initially recorded for the String Cheese Incident's SCI Fi label and then picked up by Sony Music. His next disc will be released by Sony's Columbia Records  in early 2008.  Clapton recently published his autobiography and a companion CD, "Complete Clapton," was released by Warner Music's Reprise.
Their performance at the Crossroads Guitar Festival in Chicago is part of  a 2-disc DVD available Nov. 20 from Rhino Entertainment.
