Another superb sound quality new master of Eric Clapton's 2009 RAH performance is now available! The master of Eric Clapton's treasured recordings from the UK's leading taper was released last week as "Royal Albert Hall 2009 7th Night: DAT Master (2CD)" and has been well received by our customers. This week, another great taper has provided us with a superb sound quality recording. This is the DAT master of the 8th show on May 26th, the day after "Royal Albert Hall 2009 7th Night: DAT Master (2CD)", which was also Clapton's consecutive performances at the Royal Albert Hall in London in 2009, recorded in perfect stereo audience. This is the DAT master of the 8th show, May 26, 2009. This DAT master is as good as "Royal Albert Hall 2009 7th Night: DAT Master (2CD)". The sound image is very clear: Clapton's vocals and guitar are clearly audible from slightly left of center, and only the supporting guitarist Andy Fairweather Lowe's guitar is audible from slightly right of center. This suggests that the heavyweight taper was probably seated in the front row, slightly to the right of the left P.A. speaker. From Andy's position, the sound of his guitar was coming directly from the amplifier. Therefore, this is a rare stereo separation that clearly shows Andy's support, and the quality of the sound is superb. However, the DAT tape ran out at the very end of the show, but this was compensated for by another excellent sound quality source, "Roaming This Old Highway (4CD)", which is also available from our store, so you will not notice it at all if you are not told. The sound quality of the album is excellent, and you won't notice it unless you are told. The setlist was also changed from the previous day's "Royal Albert Hall 2009 7th Night: DAT Master (2CD)", and Layla, who had been played in the acoustic set in the middle of the show, was played in the electric version at the end of the show. The setlist and band members have changed since the Japan tour in 2009, and this album is a must-see for Clapton's live performance in the middle of this year. The setlist was completely different from the one in Japan. Let's take a look at Clapton's history this year. February 12-28, 2009: 11 concerts in Japan (including a joint performance with Jeff Beck at Saitama Super Arena on February 21 and 22); March 4-10, 2009: Short tour of Oceania; March 19-20, 2009: Guest appearance at the Allman Brothers Band's 40th anniversary concert; March 20, 2009: Guest appearance at the Allman Brothers Band's 40th anniversary concert. May 4, 2009: Guest appearance at guitarist Joe Bonamassa's concert at the Royal Albert Hall in London, May 9, 2009: Played at the "Bunbury Cricket Club" charity event at the Grosvenor Howth Hotel in London, May 10, 2009: Short Oceania tour, March 4-10, 2009: Guest appearance at the 40th anniversary concert of the Allman Brothers Band, March 19-20, 2009. May 9, 2009: Played at the "Banbury Cricket Club" charity event at the Grosvenor Howth Hotel, London May 11-31, 2009: Tour in the UK including 11 shows at the Royal Albert Hall ←★★★★★ June 10-30, 2009: Joint American Tour with Steve Winwood October 20, 2009: Music at BBC Television Studios October 20, 2009: Music program "Later.... With Jools Holland" at the BBC Television Studios (the appearance was short notice due to the illness of Robinson's regular guitarist). November 23, 2009: Performed at the "Children Auction" charity event in Geneva, Switzerland, where his favorite Martin 000-28 was also on display. December 31, 2009: Held the annual charity concert "New Year's Eve Dance" for AA (Alcoholics Anonymous). Here is a link to Jeff Beck in Japan. This included a joint concert with Jeff Beck in Japan. This was the eighth of eleven consecutive nights of performances at the Royal Albert Hall in his hometown. In other words, it was a good time for the band to play in the familiar surroundings of their hometown. For those of you who like the Japan tour recordings, the first thing to note is that the drummer has been replaced by Steve Gadd, from Abe Labrial Jr. When it comes to Clapton's music, it is safe to say that there is no one more "in" than Gadd. Because of this absolute sense of security, Clapton has dramatically changed the set list from the Japan tour. Even the opening number was different, starting with Going Down Slow, which Clapton had not played since the "Reptile Tour" in 2001, eight years ago. Both this song and Old Love were played in the arrangement from the "Pilgrim Tour" in 1998. This is mainly due to the fact that Tim Carmon was also on keyboards in 1998, and Carmon's synth solo in the middle of Old Love is also excellent as the band develops an up-tempo jam. And on this day, the Dominos number Got To Get Better In A Little While was set in place of Anything For Your Love, a number from "Journeyman" that had been played the day before. This groovy and uplifting song was by far more exciting than the more subdued "Anything For Your Love," and was the highlight of the first half of the show. Clapton himself seems to be playing with a sense of excitement and dynamism. What is delicious is that since Andy was the basic rhythm guitarist, the two solos are probably Clapton's boldest decisions. Come to think of it, Doyle Bramhall was always on stage when this song was played. This was the first time Andy had this song set in when he was supporting. When you think about it, this take is very rare. The clear sound quality also shows that Andy's support was very on target with his typical playing. Willie Weeks' bass solo after a break is also good. This song was not played at the Japan tour in February of the same year (Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad was played as a Dominos number at the Japan tour), so it is noteworthy as a performance that can be heard only at RAH in this year. The highlight of the first half was I Shot The Sheriff, and Clapton's strong performance that day was evident here as well. The solo in the postlude of this song was different from the previous day's performance, and Clapton played at a super-fast pace with overwhelming power, while flying along at a brisk pace. It is a solo that can only be described as fascinating. This take from this day is also a must-hear performance. Another rare selection is "Anytime For You," a blues number by Big Maceo, a black pianist who was a favorite of Clapton's during the war. This was the first time this song was covered live. As soon as the performance began, the mood was as if the venue had been transformed into the stage of a remote American saloon. The protagonist of this activity was Chris Stinton on piano. It is amazing that Clapton's band is able to create this mood, and I am impressed by Clapton's spirit to carry it on. The fact that the standard number "Somewhere Over The Rainbow," which was an encore number on the 2003 tour, was performed in the middle of the sitting set was nothing but a wonder of variety. While the first half of the set was exciting and exciting, the second half of the set was more standard setlist, but after Layla, Doyle Bramhall, now Clapton's right hand man, jumped in. Before each song, he announces "My Best Friend" and calls out Doyle. His participation also features in the wonderful vibrancy of the songs that follow. For this series of performances, Doyle was handpicked by Clapton to be the support act for his band, the Ark Angels. Clapton then asked him to join the band after Layla. The electric version of "Layla" is very different from the original version without Clapton. The intro is, as expected, done by Andy, but Doyle is in charge of the chorus chorus seven-string phrase, as well as the obbligato in the A-melody. It is clear that this alone makes the song look good. In the piano coda part of the second half, Doyle is supported by some excellent slide playing reminiscent of Duane Allman. Listening to this, it even seems as if Clapton probably could not play the electric version of Layla without him. On the following Cocaine, Clapton takes care of his "guest" Doyle and leaves the first solo to him. Doyle's long, tenacious solo is also very impressive, but Clapton takes over the solo from there! Clapton also plays a brilliant long solo and returns to singing. Clapton also takes over for a long, brilliant solo and then returns to singing. This is enough, but the second solo is followed by a synth solo by Andy - Carmon and then a piano solo by Chris Stinton to bring the show to a grand finale. The 2009 Royal Albert Hall concert series continues to release new releases, and we hope you will take note of this date as well. The setlist changed drastically, the drummer changed, and Doyle Bramhall joined the band as a guest.
