Notes: Eric Clapton (with Mark Knopfler) "It's a Guitar Thing" The Spectrum Philadelphia, Pennsylvania September 7, 1988 3BR Records - 3BR 151 - SB 6 (Scale 1-6) Disc 1: 1. Crossroads 2. White Room 3. I Shot the Sheriff 4. Lay Down Sally 5. Wonderful Tonight 6. Tearing Us Apart - After Midnight 7. Can't Find My Way Home 8. Motherless Children Disc 2: 1. Same Old Blues 2. Cocaine 3. Layla 4. Money For Nothing (Mark Knopfler) 5. Sunshine of Your Love Band Lineup: Eric Clapton Guitar, Vocals Mark Knopfler Guitar, Vocals Nathan East Bass, Vocals Steve Ferrone Drums Jodie Linscott Percussion Katie Kissoon Backing Vocals Tessa Niles Backing Vocals Geetarz Comments: The 1988 Tour celebrated Clapton's 25th Anniversary in the music business, and coincided with the resurgence of classic roots rock and blues in the public eye. The tour was received warmly, and the crowd in Phildelphia was off the hook, which really took the energy level of the band up a notch as well. Sourced from a low generation copy of a pro-shot Video in wide circulation among collectors - then remastered by the 3BR team. Great, crisp soundboard recording. The mix, in particular, is very up-front and close-miked. IMO, this is superior to the Tarantura release "Vivela Slowhand", which apears to have been sourced from a lower quality, higher-generation source and suffers from a bit of VHS tracking noise. Lineage: 3BR Original (Directly from Igor and The Professor) > LiteOn iHAP 322 (UL 18 Firmware) > EAC v. 0.99 Prebeta 5 (Secure Mode, Offset Correct @ +6, 0) > FLAC Artwork, checksums (ffp, MD5, ST5), info file, and EAC extraction logs provided. Enjoy ... and PLAY IT LOUD!

Notes: My review: Sir Eric is having a great time while some knave named Mark noodles around on a guitar. Geetarz review: 1988 was the year the "Crossroads" box set was released, and this was billed as a "25th Anniversary / Greatest Hits" tour. Some of this material had just been re-introduced to live performance, so even the stuff that was old, seemed new again at the time. This is a nice, hot soundboard, and a personal favorite recording, perhaps the best show of the entire 1988 tour. Philadelphia has always been a town known for its responsive fans, and the crowd here was just unhinged, which really took the band to new heights. Pro shot with excellent audio, this concert is one for the ages.
