A record of Clapton's golden age, where passion and structure collide.
This is a live recording by Eric Clapton and his band. A masterpiece that captures the overwhelming stage performance, with a heavy sound that combines blues and rock, and the tension of improvisation.
From the very beginning, the guitars are at full throttle, and Eric Clapton's tone is both emotional and sharp. The rhythm section's tight groove underpins the performance, and each song, while long, unfolds with meticulous structure. "Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad?" continues the high-energy interplay, while "Let It Rain" fuses the depth of blues with the energy of rock. The guitar interplay between Clapton and Duane Allman is breathtakingly intense, and the improvisations are imbued with architectural beauty. The recording, while live, is clear and conveys the dynamism of the performance. A definitive live album, a passionate performance that remains indelible in rock history and continues to influence many guitarists today.
