Notes from fishmanj:
This is from my Super VHS Master, recorded from PBS's local outlet in NY, WNET. Originally aired once on PBS in 1995. This is a heck of a performance documentary. Lots of good archival footage of the masters. I created the DVD from the PBS's In the Spotlight Documentary on Eric Claptons 1994 blues tour...Directed by Martin Scorcese.

There is no commercial release of this tape. This was used for a Scorcese 1996 documentary called "Nothing but the Blues". But that was pulled from circulation ...Clapton felt that Scorcese should have included full performances of his heros (Muddy, Howlin' Wolf, Lowell Fuson, more on Robert Johnson) and would not release this to the general public.

It is in LPCM audio format (from a MTS Stereo Broadcast)
