Eric Clapton - Watching fingers move and Lightning strike

Eric Clapton is considered to be a legend.....well not being a guitar enthusiast I quickly understood why he is rated as one of the best (some say 4th best ever) We watched him and the big screen invariably focused on his strumming fingers; the soulful strings and sounds that emanated were amazing. The concert was a complete musical treat and you kept feeling that this guy is on just simply on top of his game !

As we watched in the open (Verizon Theatre) Eric moved from his acoustic guitar back to electric mode and the tempo was intensified. This seemed to somehow mysteriously effect 'nature' and the bolts of Lightning that struck all around us increased to a uncomfortable level. Unknown to us this was the beginning of a really really bad storm - lightning, tornado's and torrential rain meant we had 2 metre visibility driving home (that was fun !)
