Eric Clapton/CA,USA 4.9.1975 Remaster

Eric Clapton’s famous sound source will be available in a new style! This is a concert held at Stanford University in California on August 9th during the second leg of the 1975 US tour. This sound source has long been known as a high-quality stereo audience recording that represents this “THERE’S ONE IN EVERY CROWD tour” and has been released by multiple labels. However, recently a source that appears to be the original master was uploaded onto the internet. The freshness of the sound is unparalleled and the sound quality is super high because it is the original master. It is a powerful sound with a stereo feeling in full bloom. This edition is worth listening to again, not only for those who have not heard this performance, but also for those who own the previously released edition, as the quality exceeds that of the previously released edition, which has already disappeared from the market. is. First of all, let’s review the 1975 tour schedule to see how this performance was positioned in terms of Clapton’s activities this year. ≪April 1, 1975: Album “THERE’S ONE IN EVERY CROWD” released≫・April 7th to 28th, 1975: Oceania tour・June 14th to August 30th, 1975: U.S. tour ←★Here ★・September 1975 Off・October-November 1975: Second Japan Tour As you can see, it was a year full of touring, but even within that, this US tour was It was a main event that lasted for two and a half months. As the name of the tour suggests, it was originally intended to promote the newly released album “THERE’S ONE IN EVERY CROWD”, but surprisingly, the setlist only included one song from this album, Better Make It Through Today. In a sense, it was typical of Clapton, who simply loves live performances. Rather than promoting the album, I get the impression that they were trying to promote Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door, which had just been released as an emergency single. Having returned to the stage in the previous year’s comeback tour, it felt like this tour was carried out under the pressure of a strong desire to perform live again, and the way they suddenly started playing aggressively on the popular song Layla showed that. It tells a story. They toured all over the United States for the second year in a row, but this year they didn’t do any acoustic numbers like the previous year, and the tour was even more energetic because they appointed their close friend Carlos Santana as the opening act. The highlight of this day, a month and a half after the start of the tour, can be said to be the original Clapton-like set list. There are no songs from last year’s comeback album, “461 OCEAN BOULEVARD,” which reached number one in the US, and they haven’t even played the big hit I Shot The Sheriff. It is a wonderful staging that focuses mainly on the repertoire from the Derek and the Dominos era, but also plays Ramblin’ On My Mind. While the set list changed daily, what was noteworthy on this day was that they played their new song Carnival, which they had just recorded as a demo at New York’s Electric Lady Studio with members of the Stones on July 25th. . This number was included in the next album “NO REASON TO CRY”, but while the official studio version had a compact composition with no guitar solo, at this point it had an early long composition including Clapton’s guitar solo. Masu. The passionate play of Let It Rain, which was surprisingly rare on this tour, is also worth listening to. Since they end their regular set with this song, it’s no wonder that they’re so enthusiastic about it, as it pairs well with the opening song, Layla. In the encore number, guitarist Carlos Santana, who was appointed as the opening act, jumps in. The aggressive guitar battle here is both tense and fun. Our shop recently released the title “St. Louis 1975” of the St. Louis performance on July 11th from the same tour, but the percussion that could not be heard at that time can be heard in the regular set of this board. It is thought that Clapton heard the performance of Anfonso Mouzon, the percussionist of the Santana Band, who joined the group for the encore of the St. Louis performance, and wanted a passionate percussionist for his band, so he suddenly added Sergio Pastora Rodríguez. . Rodriguez’s playing has been lively since the opening Layla, contributing to the passionate stage production. It can be said that the stage of this edition with new percussion is suitable to represent this tour. However, regarding this wonderful content and sound quality, it is also true that there were problems with the quality as it was on the internet. The details are listed after the song list, but there were various problems such as overall pitch deviation, tape changes and recording pauses, left channel drops, etc. This album is a best-of-best title that has been corrected and corrected to the best condition, and has also softened the specific high range that seemed to sting the ears, making it easier to listen to. The super high-quality stereo audience master of the Stanford performance, which can be said to be the representative sound source that you should listen to on the 1975 tour. I can assure you that the definitive version is this one. It will be the best start release as the first Clapton title of the new year.
