Blues
Night - Royal Albert Hall, London, Eng. 2/25/91 (2 CDR)
This
Royal Albert Hall blues show from 25 February 1991 was broadcast live on
BBC Radio 1. Even though this is an excellent soundboard, the playing doesn't
live up to the 1990 blues shows — but it still makes the "essentials" list.
Musical collaborators were Albert Collins, Buddy Guy, Robert Cray, and
Jerry Portnoy. Clapton lets it rip on gems from his Bluesbreakers days,
such as "Hideaway" and "All Your Love".

Blues
From the Heart - The Fillmore, San Francisco 7/11/94 (2 CDRs)
These
discs are a compilation from shows recorded on 7, 8 and 9 November 1994.
Songs are not in their original order and are missing a second or two from
their beginning or end, but this is barely noticeable. Additional cuts
not in the PBS-aired special are included. It is worth getting this show
just for a fantastic "Five Long Years", and a truly outstanding "How Long
Blues". Lots of Acoustic along with electric blues

The
Circus Has Left Town - Brighton Centre, Eng. 1/2/92 (2 CDRs)
The
people at KTS liked this show so much they released it twice! The AMCOS
release is sold as two separate CDs. This is a good audience recording
that is a warm-up show for the annual Royal Albert Hall run. Recorded on
1 February 1992, Clapton is amazing on the first three songs: "Anything
For Your Love", "Pretending", and "I Shot The Sheriff." It also features
the first concert performances of "Tears In Heaven", "Circus", "My Father's
Eyes" (plugged), and a rare performance of "Signe". Note that the audio
level drops a bit during the acoustic numbers. Some say this set contains
the ultimate version of "Layla".

With Fire - Royal Albert Hall, London, ENG. 02/17/91 (2 CDRs)
This
is a complete nine-piece band performance from the Royal Albert Hall run
from 17 February 1991. This absolutely flawless soundboard recording is
one of the best Clapton boots ever released — a perfect show from lights
down to lights up. Several tracks from the BBC Radio 1 master tape were
used on 24 Nights. Lots of great unreleased tracks can still be heard on
this set. It gets no better than this!
