OK, you Eric fans, this is the one you've been waiting for, the most drunken Eric Clapton you've ever heard. The guy is absolutely smashed, slurring words, berating the crowd and is quite confused, "What the f*ck is goin' on? Well, I'm having a good time!" This is a good audience tape. |

Singing With the King (AC106) |
Notes: |
Widely reported as the worst show of the 1974 tour, in fact this may be EC's lowest point on stage - ever. Eric is massively, incoherently drunk, and unintelligable at times. As the show begins with EC's 'outroduction' of emcee "Legs" Larry Smith, a member of the crowd shouts out "Clean Up Yer Act!!!!" which really says it all.
EC begins his set with a rambling "Last Train to Brownsville", and then engages in an angry tirade: "To be serious ... one more of them, I'll tell you, and YOU'RE OUT OF HERE! One more of them silly fucking fireworks and you are out of here! Behaviour!"
As if the audience wasn't aware of his state, after "Let it Grow", Clapton shouts "I am drunk and I am ready for fuckin' trouble!". Then, as guest Freddy King takes the stage, "he's strapping on his guitar, moving to the guest spot ... and if you haven't heard of him ... you don't fucking deserve him! His name is Freddy ..." at this point a member of the crowd shouts out "Wanker!", presumably directed at Eric - and probably deserved.

Notes: |
This is the legendary July 6, 1974 Rich Stadium performance where the drunken Eric Clapton could barely sing and play. Sound isn't great but it doesn't matter as Clapton slurs through the songs. Freddie King tries to save the day. From the Japanese boot called "Singing With The King: Eric "Drunken" Clapton" Mislabeled War Memorial Stadium, Buffalo, NY it was actually played at Rich Stadium, Orchard Park, NY.
This contains the pitiful version of "Little Wing". Listen to Eric forget almost the entire "Presence Of The Lord" so he cuts it to the short 90 second version. His "I'm drunk, I haven't tuned this guitar in three days, (incoherent jibberish), thanks for being here" finale of Crossroads is classic. It's probably the most pathetic version you'll ever hear.
Oh, after you listen to this and say, he played decent, remember that was actually Freddie King (with the tuned guitar).
This is Clapton like you've never heard him before and never will again. |
