OTish - Clapton playing Message in a Bottle?

Anyone know if Clapton has recently (or ever) performed Message in a Bottle live or played guitar in a band/ensemble that has played that song?

The reason I ask is that I saw something regarding a show that he did with something called Band du Lac on June 4, 2011 wherein one of the songs played was "Sending Out an SOS." I figured this was a misprint by someone not familiar with the Police (kind of like how non-Who fans refer to Baba O'Reily as "Teenage Wasteland").

If anyone knows anything about this, let me know.

Not that I know of. I have listened to a fair share of released and unreleased Clapton shows and never heard it.

eric leaves the stage just before gordo plays MIAB solo, after they've (phil collins, mark knpflplfpler, eric claptout and gordo) have done a guilt-free version of Money For Nothing.
So, in other words, this doesn't answer your question at all.

Clapton got up and left The Police reunion gig at Wembley after they played Message !!! (don't think I saw him come back ,buy then I wasnt looking out for him) So perhaps he wanted to go home and practice :lol:

so it seems it's quite the opposite.... Eric has a habit of walking out just before MIAB is played.

Disc One, Track Five.

My life has been a little complicated lately, which is why I haven't downloaded it myself to check if it is indeed Message in a Bottle.

Could someone down load this and report back here?
