Sounds good and has some of the highlights from that tour. If you don't mind lots of editing and a CD of songs put together from different shows, this is nice to have.

The first CD is excellent, one of the best blues CDs for my money, great band on fine form. Crosscut Saw is a joy, the guitar throughout is great. Well worth buying for the first CD alone. The second CD is older and contrasts in style and guitar sound.

This is a must have for Clapton fans (especially the ones who love his blues catalogue). The solo on Five Long Years is one of his best (I mean BEST!!) ever recorded. The version of Groaning The Blues is so emotional, it will give you shivers. Can't say enough about this one. Cheers.

This is my favorite of the blues CD's. Excellent sound and the band is hot. Note that a few songs are incomplete (end early, song already in progress) but that doesn't detract from the overall performance. The last few tracks are only average performances from the 70's.

This one has good sound quality, and the songs are great. I think the version of Double Trouble is one of the best I have ever heard. It's a lot of his older songs with a really clean new sound. I would recommend it if you really like his blues stuff.
