A person who went to see the Albany Concert also confirms that it was
Robert Randolph & The Family Band.

?I went to see EC the other night in Albany NY. What a great show!! He was 
looking old and tired but the music was anything but that. The band he has 
with him is smokin.  So if you can you should go see him on the current 
tour. The opening act cooks too- Robert Randolph, this guy plays a pedal 
steel and man he sounds great. I thought the high light was Badge and 
Sunshine of your love, but Layla was excelent also.  Anyone else seen him on 
this tour? - What did you think? ?
