In addition to his take on the 1970 Derek and the Dominos original, Simpson would go on to only play three more covers over the course of the 23 song concert. The guitarist and singer also played “I’d Have to Be Crazy” by Willie Nelson, “The Promise” by When In Rome, and “You Don’t Miss Your Water” by William Bell. Simpsons’ 2019 album Sound And Fury was the focus of the event, as the musician pulled 10 songs from the album over the course of the evening.
