CD Reviews
Bootleg with poor quality - Amazon shouldn't sell it
a reader | Indiana, USA | 09/18/2006

"Poor audio quality, no-name publisher, even gaps inside songs when whoever taped this hit the pause button by mistake. Don't buy it."
I lost interest in EC a long time ago...

"...but when I saw who was in the band for this show, I said to myself "sold" and haven't regretted it for a minute.
Mark Knopfler.
'Nuff said.
And Alan Clark on keys, Steve Ferrone on drums, as well as EC stalwart Nathan East on bass and occasional lead vocals.
With Jody Lynn-Scott on percussion and two gals singing backup whose names escape me.
And ya know what? It works beautifully and makes for a very enjoyable all-but two hours.
It's certainly a different approach to the Clapton catalogue of overplayed, Top 40 pap.
You may be sick to death of WONDERFUL TONIGHT, but the version on here is simply......wonderful.
The quality is very good, hence the four stars instead of five...had this been up to today's recording standards (it was recorded in 1988), it would be a no-brainer.
As it is, it's a must for anyone who would even marginally appreciate seeing (and hearing) the genius of Mark Knopfler in concert with the steadyness of Slowhand.
Surprise your friends!"
Not even a good bootleg

"If you're going to rip-off an artist by putting the artist's work out there without paying him, at least have the good manners to take some time to make the rip-off sound decent. Any teen-ager with a free audio editing program could have made this listenable in about 45 minutes.
No, this is a straight line recording off of a high generation VHS tape. Sonic garbage.
OK, bootleggers are a fact of life, I guess, it's just this one is lazy.
And shame on Amazon for selling bootlegs. I'd not have thought they'd support ripping off artists (no one on the CD is making a penny on it, so you know)."
Not that bad....

"This is pretty good, although there is some tape hiss in the audio, it is clearly mastered from a VHS tape. Kind of unfortunate, but nonetheless, this is the only official release of Clapton with Knopfler, and for that reason alone it is essential. Lots of sweet guitar solos by both Clapton and Knopfler. Knopfler blows E.C. away on "Badge" and does some great acoustic solos behind Nathan East on the blind faith tune. Alan Clark plays a killer synth solo on Cocaine, and plays the piano part of Layla perfectly.
Pick this one up, but don't have high expecatations. I didn't...and I was pleasantly surprised. This is not the best quality, but it is still a good performance and a great release.
An odd thing about this concert, is Eric had his drummer off to the side, so Ferrone doesn't come into view much unless it's a close up on him.
I think this dvd benefits from lower end sound systems. If you try to watch it on great equipment, you'll probably be disappointed."
ELECTRYING ERIC

"I have listeded to several DVDs by Eric Clapton and this is by far the very best. The first reveiwer apparentlly was not watching the same concert I did. Eric, usualy conserviative in his style of play exploded on this DVD. He took two or even three solos on almost every song. This is not typical of Eric. He had a great backup band featuring the outstanding work by Nathan Eastern on bass and Mark Knopfler on guitar. Eric's guitar work was inspring, awesome and never better. THhs is his best live performance. End of discussion. Thd DVD starts with a rousing version of Crossroads and concludes with a pounding rendition of Sunshine of Your Love. Layla simply becomes an anthem of rock full of crashing cords and pulsating lead solos. It is the hightlligjt of the DVD. Run do not walk to your nearest CD store and pick this one up. It is worth seeing Eric in a small setting at his very, very best. P.S. this is not a bootleg as one reader stated. A bootlet has a very grainy look to it. The sound qualiity usually variies trhought the DVD. The lighting is usually bad. The colors are not evenly matched. This reader either needs glasses or can't tell the difference between the real thing and a bootleg.
