Went to Ted's Montana Grill (Ted Turner, second biggest private land owner in US, bison and environmental afficianado), had a delicious bison NY strip along with veggies etc, then had another bison strip as desert. Then saw Eric Clapton play Madison Square Garden. Good show, and guests John Mayer and Butch Trucks were both nasty during their songs. Mayer plays lead mostly with no pick and Trucks never uses one, yet they both have plenty of attack in their sound. Eric's rhythm playing was heavy and primal and in a serious groove when needed, e.g. during the opening tune "Somebody's Knocking". Fun to see a legend do his thing. He's 70 y.o., been doing it since 16 or so.
