Reception

LGN music critics liked the world tour and especially recognised Eric Clapton's guitar tone throughout the whole Journeyman World Tour, stating: "this period saw a resurrection of Clapton going back to basics. The tones he captured during this era are really amazing. [...] Eric was mainly using a Soldano SLO-100 amp head giving him a very saturated blues tone".[11] Fellow guitar slinger Joe Bonamassa recalled a great Journeyman show, he saw as a teenager and also liked the way Eric Clapton made things sound at the time, calling Eric Clapton's Journeyman tone "one of the best tones Clapton has ever had".[12]
