This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Never-the-less 30 years just flipped away and we are currently living in 2015., without Marty’s  magical hoverboard, nor ain’t high up the flying cars … not to mention as Dr. Brown says …”Where we are going there are no roads” so have to come down on earth and still do it the hard way in driving or sucked in a traffic jam.

Anyway, was a great journey „Back To the Future”,  to the Corvin Cinema (Corvin mozi)  on October, 16. 2015. whereas in front of the cinema stood the magical DeLorean DMC12 vehicle, but  in 2015 it does not need the 1.21 gigawatts anymore and therefore will not take any passengers Back to the Future. The oldie Volkswagen made van was parking without any bad lad, but surely was a reminder of the race in the movie. Inside the cinema hall was quicky exhibition and by this time in history, technology had progressed as much during the 30 years since 1985 as it had during the previous 30 years from 1955 to 1985. Electronics were in virtually everything from clothing to garbage cans to make them move, talk or make those electronic noises. These and other items seen in the movie was out on display so  families, folks of all age and kids were able throughout the day visiting the venue.

Enjoy the slides.

Within these years he received 18 Grammy awards. Those who were not born yesterday pretty much well know Eric’s music world and know exactly his first group, the Cream.  In the 70s, trio’s music was a sensation expressing new emotions. The three of them: Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker. drummer, Jake Bruce (R.I.P.) – bassist surely left a milestone in the 70s music world.Wayback he also played as a solo artist, with the Yardbirds. Before the concert film started the members of the band, in brief wrapped up Eric’s decades on stage with different groups and bands.

Even though Eric Clapton previously gave concert in Budapest yet you just cannot get enough of one of the most gifted talent guitarman with his awesome emotional songs.

The two-hour concert film included some of his biggest hits on stage with ERIC CLAPTON’S BAND.  The Lineup was awesome: Chris Stainton – piano, keyboards, Paul Carrack – organ, keyboards, vocals, Nathan East – bass, Steve Gadd – drums, Michelle John – backing vocals, Sharon White – backing vocals.

Here is a peck into the night’s set list: Somebody knocking, Key to the Highway, Pretending, Hoochie Coochie Man,  You are so beautiful – Paul Carrack on vocal, Can’t find my way Home – Nathan  East  – on vocal, I shot the Sheriff,  Rock me Baby, Nobody knows you when your down and out, Tears in Heaven, Layla,  Let it Rain, Wonderful To-night,  Crossroads, Little Queen of Spades, Cocaine, High Time we Went – Encore – Paul Carrack – vocal with guest Andy Fairweather Low.

Congrats to the Corvin Cinema for presenting an unforgettable FAB evening!

SCREENING WAS ONLY ONE NIGHT! 

At The-End, the audience applauded and  shouted „Once More Please!”  … Others were saying, hope that Eric is waiting for us at the exit 🙂

THANK-YOU ERIC CLAPTON!
