Eric Clapton/Tokyo,Japan 1997 Japan Broadcast Ver.

This video was recorded and aired as a special program to commemorate the opening of DirecTV, a new satellite broadcasting station that was scheduled to open in Japan at the time, when Eric Clapton performed in Japan in 1997. It’s something. Naturally, it was a professional shot video and was advertised as a feature project to recruit subscribers, and since it was only available to those who subscribed to satellite broadcasting at the time, it has been a hot topic as a valuable video since then. This time, I obtained the first generation video master from the person who was doing the air check at the time, and digitally copied it to DVD. As it is a first generation, it is recorded with clear image quality that does not show any aging, and there is no audio deterioration. This film captures Clapton’s precious time when he was learning how to record his own sound, was obsessed with street style fashion, and even grew a beard to look like a black rap musician.The 24K gold-plated custom Stratocaster he was using. Coupled with the vivid brilliance in his eyes, this stage performance from 16 years ago is well worth seeing. The setlist includes the world premiere of Goin’ Down Slow from the then-unreleased album “Pilgrim,” which was in the process of being produced, as well as a good mix of both acoustic and electric songs and blues covers. It became. There was a topic that Joe Sample of the Crusaders was participating in the backing band due to the crossover unit “Legends” that was formed just before this. There is no doubt that his passionate piano work that can be heard in Layla at the beginning and Old Love at the end played a role in improving the quality of the stage at this time. Please take this opportunity to watch this valuable video full of highlights. Live at Budokan, Tokyo, Japan 27th October 1997 PRO-SHOT 1. Introduction 2. Layla (acoustic) 3. Change The World 4.
