Geetarz Comments:
Culled from the same two dates as the performances used for the unreleased "Nothing But the Blues", this is instead sourced from the MediaAmerica radio show. Excellent sound quality, and features a stunning version of "Driftin'".

This looks a treat. Always best to head to the basement for some low-down blues, eh?
ReplyDeleteThis is the best performance and sound quality from this tour! Absolutely stunning.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for posting this.
ReplyDeleteMuy Bueno. Muchas Gracias.
ReplyDeleteMuchas Gracias por compartir. Abrazo.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot
ReplyDeleteThx for sharing. BTW - does this label still exist ? Do they specialize in blues only? The sound is as sharp as a razor.
ReplyDeleteNo they closed down at the end of April 1997. New EU rules ended the protection gap loophole.
ReplyDeleteYou can find alisting of their titles and further information here:

Bear in mind that some of these titles have been upgraded since the 90's.

found comment/note @ http://www.geetarz.org/reviews/clapton/the_blues_concert.htm. Note: Seems to be a re-sequenced version of the shows recorded for "Nothing But the Blues." Excellent sound quality, and features a stunning version of "Driftin'".
