Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck Eric Clapton Jeff Beck/Saitama, Japan 2.22.2009

The historic two days were released with the best sound quality, which made the fans very happy. To be honest, all of them were so amazing that it was hard to choose between them, but among them, the “SAITAMA SUPER ARENA NIGHT” series released by this label was recorded with a natural and clear sound quality without excessive equalization, in addition to the rich sound pressure, and it has greatly attracted fan collectors. Beck’s live performance in the first part started with “The Pump” instead of the usual “Beck’s Bolero”. In the second half, the songs were switched on both days, with Tull and Beck’s solo performance followed by Blue Wind, and the last song of the main program, A Day In The Life, on the first day. On the second day, the usual last song A Day In The Life appeared here after Tull & Beck’s solo, followed by a rich performance of Big Block, followed by Beck and David’s Where Were You. The encore was only “Peter Gunn Theme” on both days. In the second part, Clapton switched songs on both days and started the show with an acoustic set. (The “Unplugged version of Layla” was only on these two days of the 2009 Japan tour.) The electric set was rocked at the time, with the first day being mainly blues and the second day being mainly hits, but in fact, the songs played only on the first day as a daily change were “Little Queen Of Spades” and “Before You Accuse Me”, and on the second day, “Key To The Highway”, “I Shot The Sheriff”, and “Wonderful Tonight”. Clapton put on a great show on both days with a short set of about an hour. Live at Saitama Super Arena, Saitama, Japan 22nd February 2009 TRULY PERFECT SOUND Disc 1 Jeff Beck 1. The Pump 2.
