ERIC CLAPTON
The Unreleased Live Album 1986/1987 [EC Is Here/DJ Copy 33/34 - SB 6, 2CD]
Various dates and venues. Very good soundboard.
Eric Clapton celebrated his 70th birthday on March 30; Joni Mitchell, though conscious, lies in intensive care; and, as reader Tom commented on a recent Who gig, “I can’t put into words how happy I was to get to see them”, here’s one for the fans.
Thanks to owsleysbear for sharing the tracks at the Bay.
Geetarz commented:
A number of shows in 1986 and 1987 were recorded for the release of a live album. However, with the pending release of the then-groundbreaking “Crossroads” box set, the project was shelved lest it compete commercially. There are a number of ROIO releases purporting to be the “Unreleased Live Album” and, to the best of my knowledge, most are based only on speculation as to what the track list of the speculative live album would have been, and sourced from the various soundboards that have made their way into circulation. So, we really have no idea what an actual official release might have contained, but I’d like to think that this particular release might be a really good guess as to what it might have included.
