Re: Steve Jordan with Clapton 12/12/12 concert on now

So friggin' funny. Kanye is still on and that's why I'm here too. BTW, nice frock KW. I enjoyed most of the acts. I wasn't too distracted by Waters' drummer...hey, the drums were tuned pretty good, huh? I thought Zak should have received a bit more screen time (inside that fish tank). I also liked t...
