Eric Clapton/WA,USA 2.1.1983 Complete

In 1983, from the tour that was held in conjunction with the release of the new work “Money And Cigarettes”, the first day of the tour, the Seattle performance, was completely recorded with an ultra-high quality audience recording. This tour was held on a large scale from February to July from the United States to Europe, but after the 11th show in Dallas on February 15th, the departure of recording member drummer Roger Hawkins and the schedule were announced. As the series progresses, new songs are increasingly dropped from the set list, and the promotion of the new album gradually fades. The first day performance recorded in this title included the number 5 songs from the new work, the most from this tour, in the set list, and the drummer was also Jah Hawkins, so it was the performance that reminded us of “Money And Cigarettes” the most. It becomes. The highlights of the performance were the numbers from the new album, with the roughness of “Crazy Country Hop” and the smartness of the slow number “Pretty Girl”, which was performed only on that day and the next day, demonstrating his depth as a vocalist. “Crosscut Saw” loops traditional rhythms with a unique groove, incorporating effective obbligato and solos, creating a performance that was created only by this lineup, even during a long tour. is being expanded. In the standard tune, you can hear a very careful and profound performance that makes you feel the tension and excitement of the first day of the tour, and although there is a difference in the set list, it is completely different from the second half of the US tour that restarted in June. It can be said that this is a performance that reflects his tastes. This sound source is created from the same cassette master as the previously released version “1983 FIRST SHOW” that contains the same performance, and although the omissions in the Blues Medley are the same, there is “After Midnight” from the opening that was missing in the previous release. Although up to 17 seconds are recorded, the intro part of “After Midnight” is distorted due to excessive REC level. And, unlike the previously released version, which recorded the stereo output tape as is, this version was created as a completely monaural sound source, and the hiss was further removed before uploading. From that version, this title reduces the distortion part mentioned above, adds the treble part that was lost due to noise deletion, and cancels the bass reverberation, which is the biggest weak point of this sound source, as much as possible. , the sound quality is much higher than the uploaded version.
