A complete recording of the Edinburgh Playhouse performance held on January 18, 1989, just before the 12th consecutive performance at the Royal Albert Hall, with the highest level of ultra-high quality stereo audience recording. This is a treasured master that was recorded by a major taper living in the UK who we trust. Let's take a look at the timing of this concert in Clapton's career and the topics of this concert period in chronological order. Clapton's activities were active from early in 1989.・January 16, 1989 - February 3, 1989: UK tour (including 12 consecutive performances at the Royal Albert Hall in London) ←★Here★ ≪Spring 1989: Recorded the album "JOURNEYMAN" in New York≫・May 9, 1989: Participated in Carl Perkins' gig at Bottom Line, New York. May 31, 1985: Attended the "International Rock Awards" at Lexington Armory, New York. He served as the presenter for Keith Richards, who won the award, and also participated in the commemorative performance. From this situation, it can be seen that they were planning to start recording a new album after playing live to their heart's content. Moreover, this day was the day before RAH's 12 consecutive performances starting the next day. In other words, it was a warm-up gig just like a real performance, the final stage of finishing. The band is a simple four-piece consisting of three elite members who have gained tremendous trust from Clapton since his album "AUGUST". It was the perfect situation to play the guitar to my heart's content. That's right, Clapton generously assembled a set of famous songs from the Cream era to that time. The first Dominos number since 1975, Bell Bottom Blues, was performed with the same band as Dominos. And surprisingly, I set up Forever Man for the first time in 5 years. Phil Collins' drumming is clear. And Same Old Blues, a roaring urban blues where the four members' abilities are fully demonstrated. And to thank Phil Collins for his support, the featured number is Easy Lover. It was a catchy and bubbly number that was all the rage at the time, and here Nathan East plays the role of Philip Bailey, performing a duet with Collins. Then Clapton decides on a stunning solo on his signature Strat. This year, a limited-time performance exclusive to this tour was held. The heavyweight taper himself went out and recorded it. The result is an ultra-clear sound that can only be described as astonishing. Not only Clapton's guitar, but also the tight drum sounds are recorded in the clearest way, allowing you to enjoy a crisp ensemble with the best sound image. 1989 medium hall recording source from one of the best English provincial cities. Please enjoy the highest peak stereo audience recording that combines the boldness and high degree of perfection unique to warm-up gigs, which cannot be experienced at the Royal Albert Hall.
