Eric Clapton and John Mayer played at Hard Rock Calling at Hyde Park on the 28th and 29th of June, 2008. And it was not until two days before the concert that I got wind of this happening. Really daft of me given that I was there for almost two months (bangs head really hard). Obviously, tickets for this would've been sold months in advance, so I didn't try to get hold of tickets either (I deserve a hard kick in the backside for that).
So yes, I thought I'd be delusional about it and pretend that I didn't miss much. (well, my heart sinks everytime I think about it; John Mayer, Eric Clapton, they work magic on their guitars). And this Sunday when browsing channels on T.V, what do I see, Hard Rock Calling at Hyde Park and I just managed to catch the finale, the encore. JM, EC, Randolph and Sheryl Crow jammed to Crossroads, the famous Cream song.
And I know I am listening to something good when I get the goosebumps.
So having missed what I could call my dream rock concert, I now screen through the free London papers, twist my neck to catch the advertisements on the big red buses, eavesdrop on conversations if I hear the word festival or rock and hope that John Mayer comes to London again and yeah Eric Clapton of course. (Angshu, you'll probably want to kill me for putting EC second, but JM is just the best.)
Well, since this is what gave me goosebumps I tried looking for a decent video of this on youtube.
Enjoy!
