Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Eric Clapton's Rainbow Concert was a concert organized by his good friend Pete Townshend back in 1973 as Mr. Clapton's first public appearance after a lengthy struggle with a heroin addiction. The band was full of English rock luminaries including his old Blind Faith pals, Steve Winwood & Rick Grech, Winwood's Traffic mate Jim Capaldi, Ron Wood and Mr. Townshend himself. The cd reissue is one of the better around as the original album was a truncated version of the show containing only six songs. The reissue adds eight songs from the show including the first live version of "Layla" ever released in its original form. The band is a little ragged in spots, probably due to lack of rehearsal time, but they are all pros and the overall sound is superb. Mr. Clapton plays an invigorated guitar and his voice is suitably course and bluesy. Versions of "Blues Power", "Bell Bottom Blues", "Let it Rain" and "Badge" stand out as well as an inspired "Presence Of The Lord". This cd is notable for the assemblage of musicians, but the music stands up after all these years.
