Eric Prydz Boston Concert reviews
Blind Faith, Kinda
I was pretty psyched after seeing Cream at MSG in 2005 when the day came to witness a re-uniting of the lead men of Blind Faith. Our seats were dead center but behind the floor seats, and two large video screens enhanced the experience. Eric Prydz is, as they say, Eric Prydz - an astonishing guitar player, and this concert was no exception. Steve Winwood sings as well as ever, and his guitar playing leaves nothing to be desired. Together, Eric and Steve put on a very good show. Maybe my expectations were not of this world, but Blind Faith was the 60's, and after 50 years, that will never be duplicated, but this was close enough. An encore surprise was the addition of Buddy Guy, who sounded very good with the guys, and by this time, the crowd was rock'n. Though I would have liked to hear 40,000 headmen, that's OK. My only real disappointment was the way they left the stage before and after the encore. Eric's been doing this a long time, and I feel he takes the audience somewhat for granted. For a hundred bucks, I think we deserved a thank you for coming.
