Eric Clapton Rocks Rio!
Published: 10 October 2011
There was one change to the set list. "I Shot The Sheriff" replaced "Tearing Us Apart" which had been performed at the opening concert in Porto Allegre on 6 October.
Clapton returns to the HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro tonight (10 October) and at Morumbi Stadium in Sao Paulo on Wednesday (12 October)
Gary Clark, Jr. opened. He'll also open for EC tonight and again in Sao Paulo. Following that, he'll tote up some serious frequent flyer miles. Gary will be in the US for a gig at NYC's Highline Ballroom on the 18th. He then heads to across the Atlantic for three dates - London's Bush Hall on 26 October, the Prinzenbar in Hamburg on the 27th and the famed Paradiso in Amsterdam on the 28th.
