Editorial Reviews

In these days of CD expansion, it is not unusual for a record company to reissue an old album with a bonus track or two. This reconstruction of the January 13, 1973, comeback concert by Eric Clapton is something else again, however. The original six-track LP ran less than 27 minutes; the new 14-track CD runs almost 74 minutes. The eight additions -- "Layla," "Blues Power," "Bottle of Red Wine," "Bell Bottom Blues," "Tell the Truth," "Key to the Highway," "Let It Rain," and "Crossroads" -- make the disc an effective recapitulation of Clapton's career over the previous seven years, including his solo work and his appearances with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, Cream, and Derek and the Dominos. Despite the addiction that had kept him largely homebound for almost two years, Clapton played well, though the all-star backup band was as ragged as it was spirited. The loose feel of the evening was brought out in the stage announcements, many by Pete Townshend, who even mentioned a social disease just before introducing "Presence of the Lord." This still isn't a great Clapton show, but it has been transformed from a historical curiosity to a historical document. William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide

The Concert finally set freeby JohnQ

July 25, 2009: The original LP version was total frustration, but this more than doubled CD version finally lets us share the experience of this historic concert. Now we can hear for ourselves that this is not only an historic concert but a damn good concert as well. Legends of Rock came from everywhere to be a part of Clapton's return to the stage. For those who only knew the old LP, give this CD a try, you won't be disappointed. For those who are unfamiliar with this concert, you are in for a treat.

July 15, 2006: Coming out of his self imposed exile, Mr. Clapton came out with a vengence in this live performance. This is a great return for him because if he had not agreed to this concert in 1973 there would have been a void that would have been impossible to fill. The band borrows heavily from the Layla Sessions, which I feel was a very emotional recording for Mr. Clapton.
