[No. 1 Dominos audience recording] We will release the historic recording of Derek and the Dominos, a band that Eric Clapton recognized as the "strongest" in his career! First of all, this work is a complete recording of the Cincinnati performance on November 26, 1970 in a good mono audience recording. This source is a standard sound source that has been released in the past as a Dominos audience sound source with relatively good sound quality, but this time the original master tape has been digitally transferred using high-end equipment to achieve the highest sound quality ever. However, the file uploaded on the Internet was 30% to 50% higher in pitch than the original tape, the sound pressure of the right channel in the latter half was low, and the balance was poor. We have corrected the pitch to normal, and the sound pressure of the low right channel has been increased to the limit without increasing the hiss noise, improving the balance. This is a work that we are confident in, which has been significantly upgraded from the files on the Internet. The performance date of this work is about one month after the officially released Fillmore East performance, and the tour is at its final stage, which can be said to be the most fat period. We hope you will enjoy Clapton's transcendent play with the number one audience recording sound source of the Dominos era again. [A wonderful performance comparable to the official live album! ] It is well known that Derek and the Dominos broke up less than a year after their formation, even though they released the masterpiece "LAYLA AND OTHER ASSORTED LOVE SONGS". When it comes to live tours, they only had one short UK tour and one long American tour. However, it is also true that the charm of the Dominos exploded during this short period of activity, and you can feel it not only in the official live album "IN CONCERT" but also in this work. Let's take this opportunity to look at Clapton's activities this year: January 1970: Recorded his solo album "ERIC CLAPTON" with Delaney, Bonnie & Friends in LA. February 2-22, 1970: Toured North America as a member of Delaney, Bonnie & Friends. After that, he left the band and returned to the UK. May 5, 1970: Appeared at a concert by Traffic, led by his old friend Steve Winwood, in Oxford, UK. June 14, 1970: Derek & the Dominos held their debut concert at the Lyceum, a hall in central London.・June 18, 1970: Recorded his first single "Tell The Truth" c/w Roll It Over in London. ≪August 1, 1970: Released his first solo album "ERIC CLAPTON", and the single "Tell The Truth" was also released that month.≫・August 1-22, 1970: Short UK tour. ・August 23-mid-September 1970: Recorded the album "LAYLA AND OTHER ASSORTED LOVE SONGS" in Miami. ・September 20-October 11, 1970: European tour. ・October 15-December 6, 1970: Long US tour. ≪December 1, 1970: Released "LAYLA AND OTHER ASSORTED LOVE SONGS". ・December 18, 1970: Attended Keith Richards' birthday party held by the Rolling Stones while they were recording at Olympic Sound Studios. You can see that they recorded a studio live version of "Brown Sugar" with the Stones, recorded the album "LAYLA~", and went on tour before waiting for its release. Clapton was eager to prove the ability of his first leader band on the live stage. The result is clear not only in the official live album, but also in this work. The person who uploaded this file commented that Got To Get Better In A Little While on this day was the best take in the history of Dominos live performances. Roll It Over has a delicious structure in which you can hear a guitar solo twice, which is usually heard once, because Clapton made a mistake in the development, and the blues medley from Blues Power was Have You Ever Loved A Woman at Fillmore East, but here it has changed to Stormy Monday with Bobby Whitlock on vocals. It is noteworthy that they play Chuck Berry's cover Little Queenie (the second half is medleyed with Sweet Little Rock'n'Roller, which is also a rock and roll number). This song is a rare number that was not performed at Fillmore. Clapton's solo is brilliant even in such a pure rock and roll number, but why did he add this song to the set after the tour was halfway through? Clapton made a surprise appearance at Buddy Guy & Junior Wells' stage in Paris on September 22nd, but in fact their stage was the opening act for the Rolling Stones. And the Stones played this song on the day. After seeing his old friend the Stones perform for the first time in a long time, Clapton probably wanted to try it with his own band. It's fun to imagine it like that. In the guitar solo of Tell The Truth, you can hear Clapton singing a "one-man call and response" in response to the guitar phrase, making it a take that is twice as hot as the Fillmore, and Let It Rain is a compact but passionate version without Jim Gordon's drum solo. In other words, it's a day of high quality and enjoyment just like the Fillmore. [B.B. King makes an appearance for the encore! One of the reasons this recording has historical value is that B.B. King appeared on the encore. Since their first performance together in New York in 1967 during Clapton's Cream era, B.B. highly praised and looked after Clapton's playing technique and blues spirit. The two men's friendship continued for over 40 years until B.B.'s death, but this recording proves that their friendship had already developed to the point where King rushed to Clapton's stage just three years after they met. Clapton also took up B.B.'s repertoire, and the two performed together on both vocals and guitar solos. With this sound quality, it's easy to tell the difference between the two's playing. Since the two of them had not officially released a recording of their performance during this period, this is a moment to be reckoned with. The Dominos' standard audience recording is now available in an upgraded version only at our store. (Remaster Note) Corrected the pitch to be about 30-50% faster by a semitone. From the middle of Disc 2, the right channel gets quieter, so I raised the sound pressure of the right channel to avoid extreme hiss balance. At the same time, the sound pressure is lower than Disc 1, so I raised the overall sound pressure.
