Geetarz Comments: "Another sonic masterpiece from 3BR, this one sourced directly from the master reels, and then subjected to the Professor's sonic wizardry. This is one of the '74 tour shows where everyone was having fun, an enjoyable performance that can be listened to over and over. As was the case at the time, the audience were fond of throwing things on stage, and EC quips "If you are gonna throw things, throw MONEY!". Perhaps the show is a bit more cohesive because EC hadn't had too much, er, "refreshment" before the show - during the band introduction, he says "It's time for a drink ... it's been too bloody long!" and then proceeds to compliment the audience "you're looking good ... I can't see any of you, but you're looking good!". Freddie King guests on "Have You Ever Loved a Woman", in a great duet performance, followed by the usual craziness of "Little Queenie" and a businesslike performance of "Crossroads"." Ex SBD stereo.

Eric Clapton - The Joker 2 6/25/75 Providence, RI [Mid Valley 4CDR] A
[Includes 8/9/75 Stanford Univ, CA ]
This release features the Providence RI show on 25 June in upgraded quality paired with a great recording of the Stanford University gig on 8 August. The Providence gig is a truly outstanding audience recording. It features Carlos Santana on "Eyesight To The Blind" and "Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad". According to Roberty's Complete Recording Sessions 1963-1995, this show was recorded for possible release. "Layla", "Further On Up The Road", "Driftin' Blues", and "Eyesight To The Blind / Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad" eventually made their way onto Crossroads 2. But, there are still lots of great tracks left on this boot. A complete soundboard recording of this show has never surfaced among collectors. The Stanford University show is a real treat. It includes tracks like "Badge", "Better Make It Through Today," "Key To The Highway" and "Carnival". At a minimum, one should have the Providence concert on Splendor (VRM / 5). Note that Splendor was the recommended disc until the release of Joker 2.

Eric Clapton - "Turn Up Down": UNRELEASED ALBUM [DJ Copy 1CD Torrent: 81603] studio sessions in April 1980 at Surrey Sound Studios, Leatherhead, Surrey, England. From Marc Roberty's "The Complete Recording Sessions": "Eric had recruited Gary Brooker as unofficial musical director for the group, and immediately set about recording his new album. The sessions produced some fairly uninspired results. It is difficult to pinpoint blame; maybe it was Eric being lazy, maybe it was the band being too laid back, or perhaps Glyn Johns in his role as producer was not assertive enough. Whatever the reason, the album was finished and mastered and cassette copies were sent around to various RSO executives. It was to be called Turn Up Down, but all concerned decided it was not good enough to release." Produced and engineered by Glyn Johns. Same musicians as on Another Ticket sessions. This is the complete version with 13 tracks. The DJ Boot version misses the 13th track Oh How I Miss My Baby's Love. Ex SBD stereo.

Eric Clapton - Legends Flawless [Mid Valley 6CD Torrent: 111657] "In the summer of 1997, Clapton hooked up with some world-class jazz musicians and did a brief (two week) tour of European jazz festivals. The result was some truly great music." This set is missing CDs 3&4 as they are thought to be officially released in some form. CD1&2 Rehearsals at S.I.R.

The first two CDs could well be polished studio recordings meant for an album. "The scuttlebutt amongst my Claptonophile cronies is that Roger Forrester (EC's manager at the time) was mortally opposed to anything where Eric had to share the billing with anyone else, and killed the album."
