Eric Clapton/Maryland, USA 1974

From the 1974 comeback US tour, the July 14th Largo performance is recorded in the best stereo soundboard recording ever. Although it is a gift edition, it includes a newly remastered version of “461-14,” which was highly rated as the definitive stereo line recording of the same performance. This is a famous soundboard that was first released on Vintage Boot’s “BEST OF TOUR 1974”, and it was originally a PA out sound source leaked from a cassette tape owned by the band members at the time, and the sound quality was very good. did. The missing part in the second half of Blues Power and Little Queenie, and the momentary sound cutout part at 0:03 of Presence Of The Lord are the same as before, but the original take of this time, the aforementioned “461-14”, is a low generation. This is a new recording from the master, and the sound quality has clearly improved compared to the previous releases, and it is also a perfect grade with the left and right channels, which were reversed on disc 2 in the previous releases, repositioned correctly. It was an up version. In fact, when you listen to the snare sound, the sound is completely different, and the stereo feeling, which was sparse on the previous release, is now quite clear. This time, “LARGO 1974” has achieved a clearer and more powerful sound by adjusting the sound image and improving the sound pressure. This day was a popular performance due to the high quality of Clapton’s playing, and he did not switch guitars from Can’t Find My Way Home to I Shot The Sheriff, but continued with an acoustic guitar, which is a rare development. In addition, there are parts that can only be heard at this performance, such as the intro to Let It Grow, which is half a chorus long. Badge and Little Queenie have extremely sharp, fast-playing phrases that are very thrilling. It’s interesting that at this point in time, Layla was not considered a very important song, and was played easily in the early stages. It is content that can be declared as one of the best sound sources on the 1974 US tour. Live at Capitol Center, Largo, Maryland, USA 14th July 1974 STEREO SBD(UPGRADE) Disc 1(61:14) 1. Opening 2.
