Clapton's
new gem
Eric
Clapton's latest release, just
out from June 24, 2022,
deserves a special post. This Live recorded in two nights at the San
Francisco Fillmore, on November 8 and 9, 1994, during the "From
the Cradle" tour is exceptional.
17
great classics, from Robert Johnson and Howlin' Wolf to Jimmy Rogers
or Muddy Waters, masterly performed on stage by a Clapton at his
best. Rarely has his guitar and vocals sounded so powerful and
soulful at the same time. Surrounded
by excellent musicians (see below), "Slowhand" is getting
you on board from the first track and doesn't let you escape his
spell till the end. The world outside doesn't exist anymore, you're
totally bewitched by the man, his blues and his magical fingers on
the strings.
One
of his best live recordings, that most likely should become one of the
highlights of Clapton's long career. ■

| The 1995 promo video |
The
documentary, filmed by Martin Scorcese, was broadcast once in 1995 on PBS
stations, but never officially released for reasons which remain
unclear. A planned release on home video was slated for early summer
1995, and Warner/Reprise produced a limited number of advance copies for promotion, featuring a bonus blistering electric
performance of "Driftin". But the project was
finally dropped.
So
28 years later, upgraded to 4K for its long-awaited official
release, here it is at last,
available for anybody !
