Includes liner notes by Derek Taylor.Starting in 1987, Eric Clapton would traditionally take over London's Royal Albert Hall for a number of nights, putting together various themed sets. One show might be all blues while another might find him performing with an orchestra. The two-disc 24 NIGHTS takes four of these sets from the 1990 and 1991 performances, ably demonstrating how flexible Clapton's guitar playing is regardless of the setting. Disc one finds Slowhand playing a Cream-heavy set. On Clapton's blues band set he jams with heroes and friends such as Buddy Guy, Robert Cray, Jimmie Vaughan and Johnny Johnson on songs by Guy ("Watch Yourself"), Junior Wells ("Hoodoo Man") and Maceo Merriweather ("Worried Life Blues").The 9-piece band opening up disc two essays numbers from JOURNEYMAN along with "Wonderful Tonight" and a Derek & The Dominos favorite, "Bell Bottom Blues." Things wrap up with Clapton backed by the aforementioned nonet and The Michael Kamen-led National Philharmonic Orchestra. Along with a version of "Hard Times" that does justice to Brother Ray's original, there's the instrumental "Edge Of Darkness." Taken from the Lethal Weapon movies Clapton scored with Kamen, it shows another side of Slowhand that's usually buried under the deification he's shunned his whole life. | |||||||||||||||
Reviews This is an enjoyable double album, with eric clapton and many friends creating a good mix of orchestral and blues....thing is, the original concert on february 10th is very, very rare...these are just extracts on this box set. The blues concert was february 3rd, and was brilliant in its own right. Eric has done many concerts at the albert hall, this mix is not the best! I would look out for the dates i have shown, 10th feb. for the orchestral, 3rd for blues concert. Luckily for me, I have the original cd recordings of the michael kayman and the royal philharmonic performing, fantastic! Review ID: 10000000007658033 Was this review helpful? Report this review I bought this CD for the simple reason someone "borrowed" my copy a few years ago and I missed it so much I had to get another. It was great to hear the tracks again.
