Editorial Reviews

Here's the fantastic final concert of Clapton's 1974 461 Ocean Boulevard tour. He was on top of the rock world (it was his biggest album) when he thrilled the Hammersmith Odeon crowd with I Shot the Sheriff; Let It Grow; Smile; Little Wing; Singing the Blues; Layla; Badge ; a smokin' blues medley, and more!

I have been a Eric Clapton fan all of my life but I have to say I was very disappointed by this cd,first of all the sound quality is awful and i have to say it is probably the most uninspired playing by Eric that I have ever heard.I believe this should have stayed in the vault.I guess this was one of Eric's low points in his life and you can certainley hear that.

Worthwhile listen for the serious Clapton fan and colector only. This is not Clapton at his best, but does capture a tentative, unsure artist on his comeback tour. Useful to contrast his playing on this tour with the 1975 tour on which he was more out in front and confident in his abilities.

"Uninspired" Clapton is still way ahead of inspired competition.
A very good insight into creative process. Plenty of decent playing.
