Eric Clapton   03/13/1981

Dane County Exposition Center, Madison, WI
Media CDR   2 discs
Notes "Live in Madison '81". Typically solid Performance but Performance is underwhelming. Might be due to EC's Near-Collapse. Taken from "Slowhand: The Life and Music of Eric Clapton" by Mark Roberty:

"Eight days into his U.S. tour, Clapton collapsed in pain after coming
off stage at the Dane County Exposition Center in Madison, Wisconsin.
The daily consumption of a bottle of brandy now mixed with painkillers
proved to be far too much and he was rushed to the hospital on arrival in St. Paul."

This was the final show on that abortive tour; all remaining dates were cancelled.
Trades Allowed Yes
