Anything by Clapton is worth buying can't go wrong. This 2 cd set has a little of everything if your a clapton fan I would jump on it the shipping was very quick and simple
This live album has many special moments on it. The level of musicianship is outstanding but the band members really serve the interests of the whole and never give in to the 'ego-munchies' ("me burgers with I sauce"-G. Clinton). The over all vibe of the recording relaxed and fun. There is great respect for the music by the musicians. HOWEVER, the REAL reason I had to have this CD is what I consider the greatest vocal performance by Eric Clapton of all time on "River Of Tears"! Never have I heard Eric sing like this on any other song. He really makes a believer out of me on this one! Pure rythym and blues and soul and blood and sweat and tears! If you have never heard the live version of this song you must check it out. Eric really breaths life into the song by his emotional vocal performance. The band responds and the song takes on a life of its own. Eric, the performance of this song is very special. I treasure the moment. (Especially in view of the fact that the legendary Billy Preston is no longer with us.)
There are some that put out there best work in side of a recording studio and ther are others that due it on stage Eric Clapton is the later. This two disc set showcases every aspect of Clapton.From the opening track Key to the highway. to Over the Rainbow. Clapton proves like wine he get's better with age.This is a must have cd for all Clapton fans.This is that cd you pull out when you want to sum up Clapton the performer
