Since 10 June, Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood have been doubling up on the star-power as their tour crossed the United States, revisiting some of the music that brought them together 40 years ago in Blind Faith. The tour has garnered rave reviews from fans and critics, and the final concert at the Hollywood Bowl on 30 June was no different. Eric was in particularly fine form on the blues-based numbers, filling them with electrifying runs and wringing emotion from his stratocaster. It was also a long show, clocking in at about 2 hours 20 minutes. One concert-goer wrote in a brief email, "Tremendous show, Eric was on peak form, display machine-gun like powers on all the blues numbers and virtually everything in his path. Winwood equally a force on keys, vocal and guitar."

When completed, the documentary will represent the most comprehensive overview of Eric's 45+ year career ever assembled. The producers have previously asked fans around the world to search their personal archives for rare photographs, video and film of Eric Clapton prior to 1980 both on and off stage. The scope of the search has been expanded to include Eric Clapton-related ephemera prior to 1974. Film and photographs - even snapshots - and memorabilia from the British Jazz / R&B / Blues Club Scene 1958 - 1964 is also being sought. An invitation to fans to participate in this exciting project was also included in Eric Clapton's 2009 Tour Programmes. For more information and to read the Where's Eric!

Steve once again performed "Low Spark of High Heeled Boys" and "There's A River" as "his" numbers. One fan emailed Where's Eric! shortly after the show with the set list. Their brief comment, "Clapton / Winwood and band ... amazing. Biggest highlights among many for me were Steve's Low Spark, Voodoo Chile and Cocaine.

One fan emailed Where's Eric! from their iPhone, "Clapton and Winwood were great in Vegas. But no one is saying enough about the band. The back-up vocalists are superb, what a set of pipes those beautiful ladies have. Abe Laboriel Jr? BEST drummer EC has had on the road with him in decades. Add legendary sidemen like Chris Stainton and Willie Weeks and you have a recipe for perfection!" Another quick email after the show said, "EC and Stevie Winwood are in their prime - age is a number. Best songs were Low Spark, Tough Luck - killer solo by EC, Voodoo Chile and Dear Mr. Fantasy. Can't believe I heard the entire first side of Blind Faith LIVE! Coolness."
