Eric Clapton, the sequel?  Eric Clapton, Part Deux?   Sorry.

I posted about seeing Clapton in Nashville last fall and what a great trip it was.   And it was just that.  A great trip and perhaps one of the best concerts we have had the opportunity to participate in.  A fun several days in Nashville  and the concert.  What a fun city.

We just found out not long ago the Clapton is going to have a very short tour in the US.  Only a 6 city tour and one of those, Chicago.  He announced the tour in May and we, at the time, were satisfied having seen him.  (Another bucket list check mark.)   I don't know why I checked with Ticketmaster a couple weeks ago and tickets were still available.  So the decision process started again.   How long should we go for?  Where do we board Clapton? (The dog).  Etc.

We were all set to (or I was) click on "Purchase Tickets" when my wife further complicated the decision process.  She informed me that Jackson Browne is playing in Red Rocks Amphitheatre at about the same time.  Instead of driving approximately 500 miles east to Chicago to see Clapton we could drive a little more than 500 miles west to see Jackson Browne at Red Rocks, Colorado.   I think that my wife, ever so slightly, favored going west.  I, by I think about the same very slight edge, leaned towards east.

The final logic we came up with is, even though they are close in age, Mr. Clapton is a few years older.  It's more likely, maybe, we will have another opportunity to see "Running on Empty" performed.  

So in a few weeks I'll report back, again.  Of course, the trip will include a trip to Chicago Music Exchange.  Mrs. matonanjin surprisingly, cheerfully already approved that.  Negotiations included equal time at a favorite home décor store.  😉  Opening day of the Chicago Bears vs San Francisco is the Sunday before the concert.  Maybe Soldier Field will be included?

I will be reporting back!
