Remaster: Another reference tape but the master tape is better balanced. The guitar is higher in the mix and the remaster has improved it even more. The bass and drums remain clean and clear with the drum sound more live then the official releases. Despite some equipment problems it was a good performance - Crossroads being quite reasonable and Spoonful actually producing some sparks. The LA Forum "White Room" is better then the released version except for a recording drop out. Please note that the bootleggers have wrongly attributed this recording (explained in the liner notes). This is the best boot from the final tour in terms of sound (by a very long mile!) and performance (there are a couple of as good but sound is bad). Sound - 5.
1. White Room (Bruce Brown) 6.38
2. Crossroads (Johnson arr. Clapton) 4.29
3. Sunshine of Your Love (Bruce/Brown/Clapton) 6.40
4. Traintime (Bruce) 9.47
5. Toad (Baker) 14.16
6. Spoonful (Dixon) 15.09
Track 1 recorded LA Forum 19th March
