Eric Clapton/Germany 2008 DAT Master

Completely unreleased sound source of the 2008 European tour in the best sound quality! We will release the first public DAT master brought by the heavyweight Taper who lives in the UK, who has a reputation for Eric Clapton’s secret sound source! This work is a 2CD that completely recorded the performance in Wiesbaden, Germany, which took place on August 19th at the end of the 2008 European tour, with the best stereo audience recording. The sound source of this day has never been released before, and this work is the first release in history. And what should be emphasized above all is that the master of this work is the best stereo audience recording. Our shop has also released high-quality masters of the “HARD ROCK CALLING” performance at Hyde Park, London on June 28th of the same year (“Ultimate Hyde Park 2008: DAT Master”) and the final tour performance at Monte Carlo on August 23rd (“Monte Carlo 2008: Private Show”). However, the set lists for both performances are slightly different on this day, so we hope you will enjoy it on this day as well (Little Wing replaces Isn’t It A Pity, which was a regular on the tour, and Got To Get Better In A Little While replaces Motherless Children). In addition, the fact that seven songs from the Derek and the Dominos era (numbers included in the masterpiece “LAYLA AND OTHER ASSORTED LOVE SONGS”) are played is a major attraction of this day. Please enjoy this work with this wonderful sound quality. Rhythm section replacement! : A stage where the rhythm section, which is only available at this time of year, shines brightly Looking back at Clapton’s activities for the year leading up to this concert, in 2008: · February 25th, 26th and 28th: ​​Joint concert with Steve Winwood at Madison Square Garden in New York · April 30th: Joint appearance with Sheryl Crow’s band at the Sunfest Sports and Arts Festival in Palm Beach, Florida · May 3rd – June 5th: American tour (11 shows) · June 20th – June 29th: First leg of European tour (5 shows) · August 6th – August 23rd: Second leg of European tour (11 shows) ←★Here★ As you can see, it was a year in which he efficiently took holidays, but also managed to hold a joint concert with his old friend Winwood at the beginning of the year (his first in 39 years, since Blind Faith), and then energetically toured both America and Europe. During this time, it is worth noting that the rhythm section was replaced in the 15 days between the American tour and the European tour. On the American tour, Pino Palladino (a session bassist famous for performing with Phil Collins, The Who, and John Mayer; he performed with Clapton on the song Bad Love from the album “JOURNEYMAN”) and Ian Thomas (a British session drummer who was selected for the MSG performance with Winwood in February of that year) were on bass, but from the European tour, they were replaced by Willie Weeks on bass and Abe Laborial Jr. (Paul McCartney band) on drums. Since all of them are busy musicians, it seems that Clapton had a hard time securing a rhythm section. As for Willie Weeks, he had been a big fan of his groove since they performed together in 2006, and he had nominated him, but Weeks’ schedule did not match up with the American tour, so it was finally fulfilled at this point. As for Abe, it seems that Clapton’s regular favorite Steve Gadd and Steve Jordan, who provided excellent support on the 2006/2007 tour, were not available, so he borrowed Abe as a gesture of loyalty to Paul McCartney. As a result of such a deal, the stage was realized with the support of Weeks & Laborial Jr., the rhythm section that only came true at this time in Clapton’s career. As expected of both of them, they are top-class musicians, and they have mastered Clapton’s repertoire with only a short period of rehearsal and are showing the best performance. The first great thing is Little Wing. Normally, I Shot The Sheriff is brought out to liven up the performance before the sitting set, but here they take this Dominos repertoire and perform two consecutive songs, Little Wing and Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad. Clapton’s playing here is also amazing. The contrast with Doyle, who is as passionate as Clapton, is also wonderful, and this is a take that you should definitely listen to. The acoustic set includes a rare Cream-era repertoire, Outside Woman Blues. He must have liked the song that he played at the Cream reunion concert in 2005. It’s also interesting to hear Clapton’s band version here. And Robert Johnson’s number Travelling Riverside Blues. It’s nice to hear a live version of the number featured on the album “SESSIONS FOR ROBERT J.”. Also, I’d like you to listen to the entanglement of Clapton and the rhythm section in Got to Get Better in a Little While, which comes after the acoustic set. In this rhythmic number, the drummer’s technique and individuality are clearly displayed, and it is also interesting to see Weeks and Clapton riding on Abe’s unique drumming, which is different from Gadd and Jordan’s previous drumming. And then there’s Layla, played by Abe. His version can only be heard on this tour (Abe is probably the only one who can play Wonderful Tonight with such a rhythm). And the electric version of Layla supported by Doyle Bramhall is still great. The chord play in the intro is good, and the obbligato in the singing part is also good. It makes you feel good, and Clapton’s solo is also sharp. In this work, you can enjoy not only the above numbers, but also Clapton who is inspired by the new rhythm section and plays it all over. When you listen to this work, it’s obvious, but I realize that “Clapton was playing at this time”. He is still a great person at 79 years old, but he was even more amazing at this time when he was 63 years old.
