Summer, 1996 London's Hyde Park
My first trip to the UK came four months later and had I known about this concert, would have changed my itinerary....I can only imagine the magic, electricicity and music that filled the still summer air amongst the crowd of adoring fans......here is truly one of the most incredible outdoor performances EVER, given by the one (if not the greatest) rock/blues guitarists living today-Eric Clapton. Thousands gathered in the midst of one of London's most serene and historic city commons on an evening filled with stars.......Mr Clapton, an ensemble of gifted and diverse musicians, a familiar list of hits, a few Claptonesque renditions of American Southern blues staples delivered in PERFECT almost recording-studio sound and perfection makes this an audio/visual orgasm for the senses!
In an age in which concerts are given to raucous crowds, blaring amplifiers, exploding techno special effects, unpredictable antics of the performers and lyrics too profane to comprehend Mr Clapton transcends the typical; his vocals are soft, bluesy, heartfelt; the words crisp and clear as the stories unfold. As of this recording his voice still reaches pitches and vibrato the years have since taken from him....thank God, the magic that flows from his soul through his fingertips has, and forever will be, Slow Hand's gift to music. His searing riffs and the seemingly uncanny manner his fingers dance and glide down the frets of his Strat/Gibson or whatever stringed guitar he carries like his lover commands the adulation and attention of new generations of musicians and fans of all ages.........
Also praiseworthy is the contributions of Jerry Portnoy, an incredible blues harmonica player whose command of the simple "mouth organ" places him at the top of his game; Steve Gadd, anything but a simple percussionist-his driving, forceful but never overpowering beat adds to the groups excellent delivery; Andy Low, guitarist--subtle rhythyms and dual leads compliment Mr Clapton on several solo performances; Tim Sanders & The Kick Horns--what a crisp accent to all the music; never overpowering and surprisingly compliments even the blues! All in all a gathering of friends on a perfect mid-summer's eve, a treat for all the senses......why not treat yourself to a foot-tapping, air guitar playing, visual and stunning auditory exposition of one of the world's greatest living performers from across the pond? He is the "Hootchie Coochie Man" for all time..................

"This Show was Knocked Out of the Park"
London...Hyde Park...Saturday June 29th, 1996...(14) song Set List...Including some of the Best Renditions of some songs I'd ever seen him Perform....From Start to Finish, He had a relaxed, comfortable stage presence even without all the same people that would usually accompany him, except for Steve Gadd on Drums and his 2 singers, Katie and Tessa .... Didn't matter...the other Players, from the horns to the Piano, all did their part...Eric..and the Band knocked this Show "Out of the Park" that day.....It began with One Look at the Crowd in a packed Hyde Park and the setting was "Electric"...and as Eric himself would tell the crowd in between songs toward the end of this performance, It had been 30 years since he'd last played this Venue...and that it felt just as good that day as it had been 30 years ago... But I doubt very much if that Performance, most likely with Cream, could have been close to the the Show this crowd had witnessed...Because by the time you'd heard the first (3) songs that were played: Layla (Acoustic), Badge and Hoochie Coochie Man (on the same type guitar that Freddie King played it on countless times)...and then Finally a version of "I Shot the Sheriff", easily one if not the Best I'd heard with a 4 minute blistering solo...One Thing was Perfectly Clear...After 4 songs Eric was as relaxed, it was apparent it was Fun...and he was Definitely "ON' this entire performance...It was a Knock Out...One Live DVD you don't want to Miss....
