This is also the first release of this sound source! The first day of the Hammersmith show is also being released at the same time! Eric Clapton's treasured live recordings will be released simultaneously! This is also the world's first release and first bootleg. This is also the world's first bootleg release of Eric Clapton's treasured live recordings. This master is also a master provided by a trusted taper in England, but it was recorded by a different taper than the "Hammersmith Odeon 1978 2nd Night Master Cassette (2CD)" released this time, and the sound quality is slightly inferior to it, but it is still good and the sound quality is excellent. The sound quality is slightly inferior to the master cassette, but it is still good. The sound quality is slightly inferior to the 2nd Night Master Cassette (2CD), but it is still good, and the genesis is fine. The pitch, which was randomly slow in the original master, has been almost completely corrected, and the sound quality has been adjusted to reduce the bandwidth of the high frequencies, which were too high, resulting in a distorted texture in all parts of the song. The band originally contained only a little bit of music, so the result was a somewhat subdued impression, but I think it is fine, as it fits this four-piece band well. This is also the first release from the "Backless Europe Tour" in the fall of 1978, and features a sound-balanced, expansive mono audience recording of the first day show at the Hammersmith Odeon in London on December 5, the final leg of the tour. Last week we released a high-quality disc from the same tour, "Brussels 1978 Master Cassette (2CD)," and this week we will release "Hammersmith Odeon 1978 2nd Night Master Cassette (2CD)" at the same time, but all three discs have the charm of different set lists. All three albums feature different setlists. This album is very valuable because, although it is the last leg of the tour, the band played "I'll Make Love To You Anytime" from the album "BACKLESS", which was only in the repertoire in the early stage of the tour, as well as "Brussels 1978 Master Cassette (2CD)". It is very valuable because it was only in the repertoire in the early stages of the tour. The reason why this master has never been released by a major taper was probably the cut-ins of Early in the Morning and Standing Around Crying, as well as the distortion and pitch deviations throughout the entire album. The mastering process has made it much easier to listen to, making it worthwhile for us to release. Furthermore, this album is not only valuable as a "first release," but it also has a higher value because Muddy Waters, Clapton's mentor who toured with him and was the opening act for the tour, jumped in for the encore. We hope you will enjoy this historical sound recording. The rare setlist and the sharpness of Clapton's playing are unique to the last half of the tour! First of all, let's review the topics of this year to see how this European tour was positioned in Clapton's activities. February 1-April 19, 1978: U.S. tour ・June 23, 1978: Appearance at a festival in Rotterdam, Holland with Bob Dylan Band ・July 1-July 15, 1978: Short European tour (including a festival appearance with Bob Dylan) November 1, 1978: Release of the album "BACKLESS" ←★Coco★★ ・December 11, 1978: Jumped in at Muddy Waters' concert at Dingwall, London. December 11, 1978: Attended Muddy Waters' concert in Dingwall, London. This was one of the shows during the European tour with the new album "BACKLESS," which was recorded by Glyn Johns, the same British producer who produced the hit album "SLOWHAND," and released just two months after the album was finished. The tour was a great way to end the year and to promote the album. It was an important tour that closed out the year and contributed greatly to the promotion of the album. The tour was the brainchild of Clapton, who, fed up with the usual air travel, decided to give the tour a uniquely European twist by renting the famous Orient Express train to take in all the stops. Clapton was also pleased to have his beloved bluesman Muddy Waters as the opening act. (Muddy also traveled on the same train.) The highlight of this tour was that the second guitarist, George Terry, who was with the band when the album was recorded, was fired, and the band was formed as a four-piece band, the same configuration as in the days of Derek & The Dominos. The fact that Clapton was now the only guitarist in the band meant that his importance to the performance had increased. The fact that Clapton himself was willing to take on this responsibility, despite his ongoing alcoholism, made this tour a remarkable one. It was later discovered that the set list was very different from the beginning of the tour to the end. As mentioned above, in the very beginning of the tour, many numbers from the album "BACKLESS" were played. From the midpoint of the tour, the number of songs from the album has been drastically reduced, and it has become more like a "regular tour" with old blues and repertoire from the previous tour. Even so, on this day, in addition to If I Don't Be There By Morning, Tulsa Time, and Early in the Morning, the band played I'll Make Love to You Anytime, which had been played only in the early stages of the tour, and four numbers from "BACKLESS". In addition, the band played four numbers from "BACKLESS" in addition to "Early in the Morning. In a fresh twist, the band opened with a Stevie Wonder cover of "Loving You Is Sweeter Than Ever," a song that had been in The Band's repertoire for some time. It was only at the end of the tour that they played this song (so The Band was always in Clapton's mind). In this sense, we can say that the setlist of this album is one of the rarest of Clapton's live performances! Clapton was in great form on this day, as he was on the second day, regardless of his alcohol level. Clapton was in great form on this night as he was on the second day, regardless of his alcohol level, and he performed great solos on each song. Clapton must have been even more enthusiastic when he performed in his hometown of London. As on the second day, Clapton's groove-filled performance on "Crossroads" and his emotional performance on slow blues songs such as "Double Trouble" and "Early in the Morning" are especially worth listening to (to say the least, they are better than "Just One Night"). The band members are also introduced before Layla, which is the only time the band plays a regular stage number, although Layla is played as the last number on the regular stage, just like in a regular concert, The solo in the postlude, which makes full use of wah-wah, is also tasteful on this day. The solo on this day was by far more brilliant than on the second day, and every phrase that was played was a treat to listen to. As Clapton commented on stage before the performance of Tulsa Time, "I dedicate this song to the band. This was the only time the four-piece band performed live on this tour, when they were all "Tulsa Tops" from Tulsa, Oklahoma. To add to that, it is drummer Jamie Oldaker who adds a nice chorus over Clapton's vocals on all the songs. The previous chorus members were Yvonne Elliman, Marcy Levy, and George Terry, so I wondered who would be in charge of this four-piece, but I was surprised to find that it was Aldaker. I was surprised to find that he was also very good at this. You realize that Clapton's career has been blessed with band members. A further selling point of this album is that Muddy Waters jumped in and sang vocals during the encore, Standing Around Crying. This was added to the encore when Clapton learned of Muddy's intention to jump in. Jerry Portnoy, who was in Muddy's band at the time, also joins on harmonica. This "master-disciple collaboration" can also be enjoyed. Hammersmith Odeon, London, UK 5th December 1978 TRULY AMAZING/PERFECT SOUND(from Original Masters) Disc:1 (50:53) 1.
