Eric Clapton Eric Clapton/Argentina 2001 Complete

The contents are from the 2001 “Reptile South American Tour”, the performance in Buenos Aires, Argentina on October 6th, completely recorded and broadcast by a local TV station with a multi-camera professional shot. Although the PAL system has been converted to NTSC, the clarity, color tone, and brightness remain unchanged, and you can enjoy the original colors. Since the Japan tour was held immediately after this, the band members were the same as the Japan tour, and Greg Phillinganes played the keyboard instead of Billy Preston, who had been in poor health during the US tour (Billy recovered enough to join Clapton’s “Robert Johnson Project” in 2004, but passed away in 2006). From the Japan tour, the Budokan performance on December 4th was also broadcast on TV in Japan and has been released as an official DVD, but the big difference between this and the one on this board is the excitement of the South American audience. A chorus like a cheer song breaks out every time a song is played. The excitement was so intense that Clapton himself was a little taken aback, and there were even scenes where he couldn’t start the song. As for Layla, she sang the phrase in the intro and even lit a smoke bomb. It would be fun to feel the “heat” that is unique to South America from the screen. Furthermore, in the video of the Japan performance, Clapton was wearing a short-sleeved navy blue shirt, but here he is wearing a more casual long-sleeved sweatshirt. You can see how relaxed he was. And the guitar he is using is different from the Japan tour, it is a “Crash No. 1” Stratocaster. In this way, you can enjoy the difference from the Japan tour in terms of visuals. As for the performance, all the band members are backed by careers, so you can enjoy the stability that you can watch with peace of mind. Clapton is also in great form. That’s because at that time, Clapton had decided to retire from large-scale tours after touring South America and Japan. At the time of this recording, it seems that he was trying to burn out completely so that he would have no regrets until the moment of his retirement, which was approaching day by day. Since the 1990 “Journeyman Tour”, there have been many opportunities to broadcast footage of Clapton in South America, but this is one of the must-have works in terms of quality.
