Eric Clapton's 50 Years Further On Up The Road Tour hit its stride in Dallas on 19 March. Telling the audience that Dallas is like a second home and that he has many friends in the city, EC tore through a 21 song set list in the 2+ hour show.  The set shuffled a bit with  Badge  (two distortion-filed solos from EC ) replaced I Shot The Sheriff and Tears In Heaven flipped with Lay Down Sally.
