News has been slow coming in from North Carolina. At the show in Charlotte on 2 April, Eric Clapton seemed more laid back than expected in the first part of the show according to longtime Where's Eric! contributor, Steve Proctor. He continued, "'Got to Get Better in a Little While' was an early highlight while 'I Shot The Sheriff' was good but fell short of past performances. With the Robert Johnson set, things finally reached the stratosphere. 'Sunshine Of Your Love' was powerful and a welcomed return to the setlist."

But as Clapton recalls, the band's perception of themselves during their rise to stardom was surprisingly humble.
