Eric Clapton/Tokyo,Japan 4.13.2019 Another Seat Ver.

In recent years, Eric Clapton has announced his retirement from touring many times, but he has finally performed in Japan for the 22nd time in three years. This year, the legendary artist, who boasts a 56-year professional career, unexpectedly performed a Japan tour. At this very moment, Clapton is stepping on the same ground and breathing the same air as us, but the opening day performance at Budokan held on April 13th will be released super quickly! A quick move to deliver the high-quality stereo audience sound source from last Saturday to this Friday! This is proof of our company’s mobility. The recording position was the third row from the middle of Arena A6. While the simultaneous release version was recorded from the first floor stands, this one is located closer to the third row from the middle of Arena A6. Therefore, it can be said that it has a great advantage in terms of sound distance. And through our remastering, we have created a wonderful high-quality disc with good equalization. This allows us to provide more than just a fast release, it also provides a satisfying feeling. I’m sure the fans already know this, but on the first day of this tour, they surprised me with the set list. Without making any major changes to the setlist, the day defied everyone’s expectations that “they’d start off with Somebody’s Knocking again” and started the day hard with Pretnding, giving us a feeling that “something was going to be different.” It was. That actually happened on the third song, when they played Wanna Make Love to You, a hidden gem (an outtake from the album “AUGUST”) that they hadn’t played since 1989. At first, I couldn’t even think of the name of the song, even though I was a huge fan. Since the song was unfamiliar to most of the audience, it did not stir up excitement in the venue, but it was the “Electric” Layla that sent the audience into a crucible of excitement for the first time in 10 years. Although Clapton has not been in good health in recent years, he has only been playing “unplugged” Layla in acoustic sets, but at the end of his sitting set, Clapton played an original version with a significantly different energy consumption. It is. Be sure to check out the excitement in the venue at this time on this record. Perhaps he wanted to enjoy the audience’s reaction for the first time in a while, as he repeated only the seven-part intro phrase, making it difficult for the song to progress. At this time, Clapton turned to Doyle and had a big smile on his face. It was as if he was saying, “Okay, it’s been a long time since I’ve done this. Come along for the ride.” There is no doubt that this was the highlight of the day, but from here Clapton ran at his best. He ends his regular set with two blues songs that he plays while showing off his signature crouching pose. So, what is the encore? While the audience was expecting, it was John Mayer, the young guitarist’s hope who had just finished his Budokan performance two days ago, who appeared with Clapton! Once again, the venue became a melting pot of excitement. Naturally, all seats in the arena were standing. Cocaine starts amidst an explosion of cheers and roars. The second solo was naturally given to Mayer, and he decided to solo with a phrase that was just disgusting. It was a complete change from the last time, which ended with an encore of indigestion at High Time We Went featuring Paul Carrack, and it was a fulfilling stage that caused excitement until the encore. Anyway, Clapton was more energetic than last time and showed off his powerful play, which is amazing! Please feel free to experience this excitement with this album. ★Different master from “Budokan 2019 Day 1” released at the same time. Recording from the third row from the middle of Arena A6.
