Pure
Blues - Le Casino, Montreux 9-10/7/86, (2) - Le Casino, Montreux 9/7/86.
(3 CDRs)
This
three-CD set was recorded on 9 and 10 July 1986 in Montreaux, Switzerland.
The first two discs are Clapton's entire set with the four-piece line-up
of Clapton, Phil Collins, Nathan East, and Greg Phillinganes. Portions
of this show were aired on French and Swiss radio, but this is complete
from a master tape and has an excellent version of "Cocaine". The third
disc contains Otis Rush's set that featured a guest appearance by Clapton.
Although other titles with same sound quality have been issued, they are
all incomplete.

EC
with The National Orchestra - Royal Albert Hall, London, Eng. 10/2/90.
(2 CDRs)
This
complete concert from 10 February 1990 has Clapton performing his hits
backed by a full orchestra at the Royal Albert Hall. Of particular interest
is the performance of "Concerto For Guitar & Orchestra" which is unforgettable.
It doesn't come together on all of the numbers, but when it does it is
sheer magic. "Sunshine Of Your Love" is a stand-out. This is Clapton as
you never heard him before. Note that only two tracks were used on 24 Nights
— "Bell Bottom Blues" and "Hard Times".

Ronnie
Scotts '87 - Ronnie Scott's Club, London, ENG. 10/6/87 (2 CDRs)
Although
the voices are not always audible, this double CD documents a rare London
club appearance by Clapton with Buddy Guy on 6 October 1987. In an interview
for the South Bank Show a few days prior to this event, Clapton said that
when he is around Buddy Guy, "something happens, some strange chemical
reaction." This disc is perfect evidence of that. It has a fantastic version
of "Worried Life Blues" — but the real gem is a down-and-dirty version
of "Wanna Make Love To You".

Heres
what the Geetarz site says:
Note:
A stunning performance, highly recommended. Several sources refer to this
disc as a soundboard but it's actually a good quality audience recording.
Recorded in a small club, it does not have the "boominess" associated with
many audience recordings. Buddy Guy's guitar is clearly audible, and at
the same volume level in the mix as EC's - this is not the case with the
soundboard material recorded and broadcast from the show, in which Guy's
guitar is very low in the mix and almost inaudible. A careful listen during
quiet passages reveals that all instruments have some room reverb, as opposed
to the "close" sound associated with being close-miked. In particular,
listen carefully on headphones during the (stunning) performance of "Wanna
Make Love to You" and the room echo on all instruments is easy to identify
during quietpassages. A stunning performance, highly recommended.
