My first chance to see Eric Clapton was back in 2006 on his
world tour. This song ("Anyday",
which is one of my all-time favorites), was not played that night. But, this stellar band featuring Clapton,
Doyle Bramhall II. and Derek Trucks on guitars, Tim Carmon & Chris Stainton
on keyboards (B3 organ and piano respectively), Willie Weeks on bass, and Steve
Jordan on drums, (plus backing vocalists Michelle John and Sharon White), was
absolutely mesmerizing to watch.
Interestingly, later, when I saw the Allman Brothers for the
second time at the Minnesota State Fair in 2007, "Anyday" was a part
of the set list and very well played that night by the brothers, with bassist
Oteil Burbridge handling the lead vocal.
Proof that a great song stands up whether it's the original artist's
version, or, a good cover. Enjoy.
