Eric Clapton Eric Clapton/Tokyo,Japan 2.25.2009 SBD Ver

This is a release of a stereo soundboard source that was directly converted to CD by selecting the best from the live broadcast video master of Eric Clapton’s Budokan performance on February 25, 2009, which was aired on satellite broadcasting that year, from the Japan tour in February 2009! It has the best sound quality that you would trust even if it was an official live album. First, let’s look at the topic before and after this performance to see what position it occupied in Clapton’s activities this year.・December 31, 2008: Held a “New Year’s Eve Dance” concert in his hometown of Woking, Surrey ・February 12-28, 2009: Japan tour with 11 shows (including joint shows with Jeff Beck at Saitama Super Arena on the 21st and 22nd) ←★here★ ・March 4-10, 2009: Short Oceania tour ・March 19-20, 2009: Appeared as a guest at the Allman Brothers Band’s 40th anniversary concert You can see that this Japan tour was the first big job of the new year after the break. A tour of his beloved Japan after the new year. After that, the Oceania tour was lined up. It was also meant to predict his activities for the year by how well this Japan tour would go. Yes, Clapton was fired up. As the tour, which kicked off in Osaka, progressed, it was said that this performance was one of the most outstanding performances in the 18 previous Japan tours. At that time, the ninth performance, the Budokan performance on February 25th, was recorded on video. This video was aired on satellite TV the following month on March 15th. It captured all the charm of the band and the set list at that time. On this tour, Clapton’s best right-hand man was Doyle Bramhall II, and Abe Laborial Jr. was hired from Paul McCartney as the drummer. His drumming, which was different from the light Steve Jordan and the steady Steve Gadd, brought a breath of fresh air to Clapton’s repertoire. His combination with veteran bassist Willie Weeks also worked well. And the set list was unique to this tour. Isn’t It A Pity, dedicated to Clapton’s close friend, the late George Harrison, who died in 2001; Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad by Derek & The Dominos, the band with whom he recorded this number with George; and the electric & standing Layla, which could only be played because of Doyle! Yes, this tour was the last time that Layla was played in its original version. After successfully collaborating with his old friend Jeff Beck in Saitama, Clapton, who was in good health and energy, played throughout the entire album. This is the album that allows you to listen to the whole picture of this special tour on the best stereo soundboard. This is a great live album that every family should have.
