Comments: This is it, the ultimate version of ... well, one of the more interesting Clapton concerts!
It's quite simple really. Instead of the usual 47th generation analog copy, you begin by sourcing a
digital clone of the master reel to reel recording. Then, you turn the thing over to an audio genius
and let him do his stuff. And what you get, is a fascinating document of a time, a place, a feeling.
It's like this - "drunk Eric" shows generally fall into two categories: they're either horrid, or fun,
but rarely anything else. But this one is unusual. Clapton's lubricated enough so that he's flip, he's
funny, he's relaxed - but at times, he simply CHANNELS into his guitar playing in a way you won't find
elsewhere. He's so looped and at the same time, so dead ON, it's scary. The standout track here is a
surreal performance of "Little Wing" that easily stands up to any rendition. If you only want to have
one recording from the '74 tour, this would be it. Recommended.
