Description
The title of the Royal Albert Hall consecutive performances commemorating Eric Clapton’s 70th birthday in 2015. We will release the best new sound source of the second day’s performance. This board uses the stereo audience master uploaded on the Internet. It is super high quality sound. This sound quality is an excellent level that is no exaggeration to say that it is the highest peak of modern audience recording. Usually, our sound engineers pursue even better sound and perform mastering, but this sound source is recorded with such perfect sound that it said “there is nothing to do”. If you listen to it, you will be amazed at the graininess of the musical sound that can be mistaken for a sound board recording. Now, the day before this day, Clapton’s beloved blues master B.B. King passed away. Therefore, as soon as he appeared on stage, he declared “This show’s for BB.” and dedicated this show to B.B. Because of this spirit, the show on this day was a wonderful performance that was no less than the first day of the previous day and the subsequent performances. In this series of performances, the majority of people have commented that Clapton’s playing has completely returned to its sharpness, and as such, you can hear amazing solos in each song on this day. The solo in the afterword of I Shot The Sheriff, which has received the highest evaluation in this series of performances, is the best. The composition gradually heats up from delicate and emotional phrases, and at the end, he skillfully combines choking and chord playing to completely integrate with the backing performance. The audience’s excitement reaches its climax here. After this song, as on the previous day, the audience will give Clapton a chorus of Happy Birthday. The second half of the show, where Clapton, feeling good about this, resonates with the Stratocaster sound, is also worth listening to. Enjoy the sharpness of the elegant and aggressive phrases that are piled up on Before You Accuse Me, Little Queen Of Spades, Crossroads, and Cocaine. After all, Clapton is the blues! During the encore solo of High Time We Went, in which Andy Fairweather Low, who was the opening act, jumped in, there was an incident where a string broke (presumably at 3.41), but Clapton played and got through it without any disturbance. This unwavering confidence and stable playing quality are what tell us about Clapton’s 52-year career and 70-year life. In the reviews of fans after the concert, everyone is paying attention to Clapton’s future, asking, “Is this really the last?” If it is the last, there is no performance more suitable for a “final” and at the same time, if this quality can be presented, it has to be said that it is too good to be the last. In that sense, the meaning of this series of performances will be very great in the future. Among them, it can be said that the meaning of this board, which contains the best performance with the best sound quality, is also great at the same time. Please keep Clapton’s real “now” forever with this board. Delivered on CD. Live at Royal Albert Hall, London, UK 15th May 2015 TRULY PERFECT/ULTIMATE SOUND Disc 1 (67:02) 1.
