For this tour Eric’s band were: Albert Lee on guitar and vocals; Chris Stainton on keyboards; Donald “Duck” Dunn on bass; and Jamie Oldaker on drums. I can’t recall who the support was for this tour, or if indeed there was a support act (although the ticket lists a support). Duck Dunn is the legendary bass play who played with Booker T and Steve Cropper on all those MG classics. This tour was to promote the album: “Cigarettes and Money”. 
Setlist: Tulsa Time; I Shot The Sheriff; I’ve Got A Rock N Roll Heart; Worried Life Blues; Ain’t Goin’ Down; Let It Rain; Double Trouble; Pink Bedroom; Key To The Highway; After Midnight; The Shape You’re In; Wonderful Tonight; Blues Power; Ramblin’ on my Mind; Have You Ever Loved A Woman; Cocaine; Layla; Further On Up The Road. It would be some 7 years until I saw Clapton again, at the Knewbworth Silver Clef show.
Laura and I are going to see Stone Roses tonight on the last night of their three night run at Heaton Park, Manchester and we’re really looking forward to it. Will report back some time tomorrow.

There wasn’t a support band for this show.I distinctly remember because we’d stopped at the Jubilee (or was it the Man in the Moon by then?) for a pre-show pint, when we got there at 7:30 Clapton was on stage! We had front row tickets – somewhere I’ve got the pictures I shot. Duck Dunn played with a pipe in his mouth all night. I was mightily impressed by Albert Lee that night, too.
