A nice sounding show from what I'm told is a digital rebroadcast of this classic Eric Clapton Concert. With his friends Elton John & Mark Knopfler in tow Clapton lays down some great Blues Rock for a more than appreciative Tokyo crowd. I love that both Mark and Elton get to showcase some of their material as well. I actually read a review in which someone said that Sonic Boom ruined a perfectly good Eric Clapton boot with too much Dire Straits and Elton John material. Hey it's a great document of a moment in time...a snap shot!

  1. The wife and I saw EC in 1988 at the Shoreline Amphitheatre, not long before we moved out of the Bay Area. What a great show!

    1. Would have been a great show to see! I did not see the 1988 tour, so jealous of course.
