Terrific

[851222 · 9/10 · 20 January 2017]

Greetings from Lithuania.

"Eric Clapton: Live at the Royal Albert Hall" (2015) is a one terrific evening with Eric Clapton. Its all here and live - "Tears in Heaven", "Wonderful Tonight", "Layla", "Cocaine" among the other great songs from a great album "Slowhand" (1979) -it can't be better then this.

As a fan of Eric Clapton i was captivated by for all 1 h 40 min of this show. There isn't any big show, because this is Royal Albert Hall and Eric Clapton - you know what you are getting into. Do i would LOVE to be there at this show - that was a thought that crossed my mind during the show which i just saw on a Blue Ray on a 2mx2m wide screen projector with all the sound systems ready roll. Terrific stuff.

Overall, if you are Eric Clapton's fan - you simply CAN NOT miss "Live at the Royal Albert Hall". Make sure its going to be a big screen and best audio system possible at your hand, because "Slowhand" is a blast.

Sublime ...

An absolute masterclass in how it should be done. Eric Clapton's light hasn't diminished since those heady days of the Cream back in the late 1960s, and here he is at 70 years of age to demonstrate that for some people getting older is just getting better.

Clapton's acoustic rendition of "Layla" is a complete joy and there's also standards like "Hoochie-Koochie Man" and "Crossroads" to keep the older fans happy.

With an excellent line-up of backing musicians like long-term Clapton collaborator Chris Stainton (the dad of my wife's childhood friend) and Paul Carrack, the concert features a varied and eclectic playlist with superb vocal backing from the gorgeous Michelle John and Sharon White.

It doesn't really come any better than this ...
