Unplugged - Clapton, Eric (CD 1992)

I've got a host of Clapton CD's, including classics, but this one beats them all. I say so because of how Clapton turned "Layla" into a slow blues song, ingeniously showing his maturity as a musician who can critique and revise his own key hits from years back. I can hardly listen to "Tears in Heaven," knowing it means the sudden death of his pre-school son who fell out of an up stairs window. "Before You Accuse me," (better look at yourself) is also one of my favorites. The rest are worth every second of your listening time and mine:

The CD in 61 minutes long, and of course, the middle-age Eric Clapton plays guitar and sings, like only he can.

All of these folks joined Unplugged to make for a dandy 1993 triple Grammy winning Album of the Year, Best Male Pop Vocal Performance, and Best Male Rock Vocal Performance: Andy Fairweather-Low (guitar); Chuck Leavell (keyboards); Nathan East (bass); Steve Ferrone (drums); Ray Cooper (percussion); Katy Kissoon, Tessa Niles (background vocals).

You want some matured and seasoned Clapton to listen to? Get this one.

Awesome music...Layla and Tears in Heaven plus many more favorites unplugged...it's so good I just bought my second CD.

Eric clapton is the quintessential guaritar player. He has backed up many greats and made many favorites himself, playing and singing. Layla, cocaine and many of his hits are included. wonderful!

Clean and pure as anything you will ever listen to. Clapton truely shows his brilliance on the acoustic guitar. He is not simply a loud electric rocker, but a sensational virtuoso musician and vocalist. A true artist!

I had been planning that purchase since 1999. It tokk long because I waited to complete a good listening stuff in my room. When I finally completed my audiophile search it was obvious to obtain Clapton MTV live. I've always known that this is a great piece of music, but when I heard it in high quality I've fallen in love.
For those who ever tried to play a guitar, who love sounds of guitar strings and for those who like good-tempered, warm music it is a must-have position.
Technically it is also very well prepared - you can surely listen to it on hi-end.

This unplugged C.D. was made live shortly after the death of his young son fell to his death from a 8 story window. A house servant had left the window open. While his son was playing and running, he would stop his self by putting his hands up to stop his advance. This album catches Eric's deep feelings throughout the entire recording. Especially, on "Tears from Heaven".

People who've enjoyed the many works of Eric Clapton over the years, are sure to love the the unplugged version of his timely hits. Also there is a mix of modern day music as well. Tears in heaven, a song about a difficult time in Clapton's life will surely touch your heart. I give this work of art 5 stars.

Some stuff I never really listened too, but I think Ill be learning to enjoy for years... couple of faves...14 songs! This is what I come to Ebay for.

This is a very good album. The music is great.Some of the best guitar picking anywhere. But the voice is whats emphasized and the guitar picking is almost secondary. Eric Clapton is probably one of the best guitarists anywhere anytime. The blues on the album are phenomenal.

this CD is a Good cd to have in your CD library. one of the best of all time,
very moving music, better have a tissue with you

I bought this Cd for my Wife for Christmas and She Loved it. The sound is great the music is very Nice ..!!!

When I realized my old Eric Clapton Unplugged CD had a hopeless skip, without blinking an eye, I went right to Ebay, found another with 17 minutes to go, bid and got it for under $5 with shipping, and it arrived in four days, in pristine condition. This is one of those CDs that sold in mass in the 90s, because it was really great, and so it is now cheap to buy on Ebay... it is a real gem. It is a must for my music collection. Secondly, on a live CD, one really knows how masterful the artist is. Clapton's guitar work is sensational. The music is a wonderful collection of old blues tunes, plus some of his own stuff. I have not found anything else by Clapton that I really like, but I adore this album. I have also bought it for friends.

I bought the c.d. because I lost the one I had, it is a great album by a very talented artist. I decided to buy it because I won the bid.
I would buy something from this seller again.
I have made 4 purchases on Ebay since Dec. 2006, this is the only (and cheapest) item I have won that came in a timely manner, and was worth buying. I am sorry about the other 3 purchases I made, very sorry.

I like dealing with them the cd is great there were not faws it sounds great the service with fast If I had to buy someting from them I would and I will tell my friends the same thing.
