Paul Gambaccini re-visits the 1992 recording of 'Eric Clapton Unplugged', in the company of Eric
Clapton himself and others who were there.
On 16 January 1992, in front of a small audience at Bray Studios near Maidenhead, Berkshire, Eric
Clapton and a small group of musicians made history. For the first time in a public performance,
the legendary guitarist 'unplugged' his amp and picked up an acoustic guitar to record a selection
of old blues favourites and brand new material, including the poignantly personal 'Tears in Heaven',
about the tragic los of his son, Conor, the previous year. And then there was the radically surprising
take on the classic 'Layla'.
Paul Gambaccini hears the story of the making of this classic album, which went on to sell over 20
million copies worldwide and won 6 Grammies, from Eric Clapton himself. He also hears the memories
of members of the band: Andy Fairweather Low, Steve Ferrone, Chuck Leavell and Nathan East; Alex Coletti,
who produced the show for MTV; sound recordist Buford Jones, and members of the audience.
