Description
The best quality video, which far exceeds the complete recording of the concert, has been uploaded to the internet! This is a wonderful multi-camera edited video created by volunteers from the Slowhand Archive Project. Of course, interviews and play scenes from Ginger’s day that were played on the screen at the venue before the performers appeared, and Clapton’s memorial comments that followed were properly recorded. Moreover, this memorial video captures the screen in full shot without blurring, making it very easy to watch. The main angles that capture the band are close-up shots from the front row of the floor seats located almost in front of Clapton, and close-up shots from the second floor seats at 45 degrees to the left facing the stage, and occasionally from the right side of the front row of the floor seats. shots are mixed together. What is surprising is that there are no obstacles (human heads, shadows, etc.) in front of you at all angles. This video, which clearly captures not only close-up shots of Clapton, but also the entire stage, guests, house band members, and backing chorus, is smoothly connected with a crossfade, and it can be called a “pro shot”. And again, the quality of the recorded audio is outstanding, and it is the finest stereo audience recording. The content is so great that it wouldn’t be surprising if it was officially released. Thanks to this high-quality video, you can watch the gorgeous guests in the credits take turns and take part in the video while taking your breath away. Once again, let’s list the highlights of each song. Introduction… At the beginning, Ginger’s interview video from the Cream era and the drum solo scene at the dissolution concert are played. Following that, Eric Clapton and the band appeared. Clapton gives a memorial comment to Ginger. Here, Clapton calls Ginger by his real name, “Peter Edward,” and says, “He’s probably somewhere in the hall today… I’m really sad that he’s gone.” He gets the crowd excited. . Sunshine of Your Love & Strange Brew…This is an extravagant stage performance featuring former Pink Floyd member Roger Waters, a musician friend of Clapton’s who has been with him since the early 70’s, on bass. Of course Clapton takes the vocals and guitar solo. The second chorus of vocals is performed by backing singer Sharon White. White Room…In addition to Roger, this song features Ronnie Wood, who is also friends with Clapton, on guitar, and Kenny Jones, formerly of the Faces & The Who, on drums. In addition to the obbligato, Ronnie was also given the wah-wah solo at the end, and he showed off his wonderful play. In the second half, Clapton takes over the solo. The main vocalist is Clapton, and the vocals for the B melody section are taken by Sharon White, who is on the backing vocals. I Feel Free…Nile Rodgers joins in on guitar from this song. I had no way of knowing that his relationship with Clapton was so deep, but it was a surprising surprise. His legendary guitar cutting is clear. Also, Willie Weeks joins on bass from this song. This will be my first collaboration with Clapton in a while. Vocals are provided by Paul Carrack, who also played the organ. Tales of Brave Ulysses…The previous songs will be played in medley format. Rogers continues to participate. He was given the solo after the performance, and while stepping on the wah-wah pedal, performed a high-tempered and flavorful performance. Although it is quite weak compared to Jack Bruce of the past, Clapton does his best as a vocalist. In that sense, you can enjoy an unusual pattern that could not be heard even at the 2005 Cream reunion concert. Sweet Wine…Will Johns participates on the guitar, and in the middle he brilliantly decides on a twin lead solo that competes with Clapton. Will Johns may not be a very familiar name, but he is Clapton’s nephew (Paula, Clapton’s ex-wife Patti Boyd’s sister), and has worked with many of the Stones’ albums and Derek and the Dominos’ second album. He is the son of Andy Johns, who worked as an engineer for Glyn Johns (incidentally, Andy Johns is the younger brother of producer Glyn Johns), and is now 47 years old and is currently leading his own band. I’m a guitarist. It seems that he started playing the guitar after being encouraged by his uncle Clapton. Clapton, whom he calls on such occasions, shows the goodness of his close relatives. Blue Condition…It’s a humorous song for Cream, but it wasn’t suitable for live performances. Before the song, Clapton announces, “I’m going to play a strange song that I’ve never played on stage before,” and the venue gets excited. As in the original version sung by Ginger, the performance progresses with a slow rhythm, but it is interesting to hear Clapton perform a sharp guitar solo on a song like this. Ginger was watching from somewhere in the venue and seemed to be saying, “Hey, are you going to play this song?” Badge…Ronnie Wood participates again. In the second solo part, Ronnie plays a slide guitar solo following Paul Carrack’s organ solo. If you listen to it like this, Ronnie’s play is quite good, hitting the key points. I remembered Clapton’s good support at his “Rainbow Concert” in 1973. Henry Spinetti, Clapton’s regular drummer, is on the drums (he had played this song on the 1981 Japan tour). Pressed Rat and Wart Hog… Ginger’s son and drummer Kofi Baker participates in this song. We will hear the wonderful drumming and vocals (narration) that are just like his father, which remind us of the saying, “Blood can’t fight, and a frog’s child is a frog.” Had to Cry Today… From here on it will be Blind Faith Time. Naturally, Steve Winwood will be there. First of all, Winwood has a twin lead system with Clapton holding a Strat. As in the original version, he also takes the vocals, the first solo is Clapton, and the second solo is a twin lead of Winwood and Clapton, but this time Nile Rodgers also joins in, making it a triple lead development. The performance is of such a high level that it seems good to reunite Blind Faith as it is. Presence of the Lord…Winwood plays the organ and Clapton’s masterpiece is played. The vocals are different from those in 1969, with Clapton on the first chorus, Winwood on the second chorus, and the third chorus after the guitar solo a duet between the two. I can also listen to Clapton’s wah-wah solo for the first time in a while. Well Alright…The members remain the same, but Winwood plays the organ. In my solo, I play a synthesizer. This arrangement is the same as the 2008 Clapton & Winwood joint concert. Can’t Find My Way Home…Winwood performs a famous song that makes you listen to his famous singing. Clapton decides the solo. It must have been Nile Rodgers’ favorite song, as he played the guitar off-mic while singing in great spirits. Do What You Like / Toad…It was a number for the drum solo that could be called Ginger’s eighteenth song. Here, his son Kofi performs a drum solo that rivals his father. This may have been the best tribute to Ginger. You can see the joy on Ginger’s face as she watches her son grow. The ending after the drum solo is connected to Toad’s phrase. Cross Road Blues…The encore is performed by all performers. Kenny Jones sat on the fourth drum kit, and Henry Spinetti only hit the cymbals on that kit. The guitar solo was passed from Clapton to Ronnie Wood, then Chris Stinton’s piano solo was inserted, followed by Will Johns’ guitar solo. After Clapton’s song again, it was time for Winwood’s song and organ solo. Then it turns into Nile Rodgers’ guitar solo. And then to Clapton’s last chorus. However, when Clapton finished singing, he called out, “Everybody Solo!” The four guitarists on stage faced each other and each performed a solo, which was an amazing turn of events. And a big denouement. It was a number suitable for an encore. As mentioned above, incredible scenes are unfolding with gorgeous guests. There is no doubt that this is a video that everyone can enjoy, whether you enjoyed the 2CD “A TRIBUTE TO GINGER BAKER: LONDON 2020” or those who want to listen to it.
