I've seen Eric only once, as part of the Experience Hendrix tour lineup.
Great player, but I never really connected with him.
HOWEVER, he's in town with his own band, doing a club gig next week, and I think I'll check it out.
Heck of a bargain at $25.
 
I'm pretty much the same as you. I'd definitely go see him. I appreciate his prowess on guitar but I'm not the biggest fan of his vocal stylings.
 
Definitely worth going. I saw him in a little club back in the 80s right after Ah Via Musicom came out, and it was mind-blowing. I remember it was loud as hell. He had a 100W Dumble, a 100W Marshall stack and two Blackface Twin Reverb amps. Way overkill for the little club he was playing. I hear he's toned it down these days due to tinnitus.

I like his instrumentals much more than his singing.
