Eric Clapton Atlanta setlist

Eric Clapton is in the midst of his Fifty Years Further On Up the Road tour celebrating his fiftieth year in the business, bringing the show to Gwinnett Arena in Atlanta, GA on Wednesday night.

This year, he has added new members to his regular crew of Chris Stainton, Willie Weeks, Michelle John and Sharon White with Doyle Bramhall II, Steve Jordan, Greg Leisz and vocalist Paul Carrack.

The set list for the show spanned almost all of Clapton's career from three Cream classics to three from his Derek and the Dominos project to numerous of his solo works. Surprisingly, he only included one song from his latest, Old Sock, while reprising three classics from 1977's Slowhand and three from the Robert Johnson salute sessions.

Clapton also let Carrack take center stage for two of his own hits, How Long from his days as lead singer of Ace and Tempted from his time with Squeeze. Paul also closed out the show with a cover of Joe Cocker's High Time We Went.
