This week's Eric Clapton's 1983 "Money and Cigarettes Tour", the work we chose to reintroduce to commemorate the release of the new title is a masterpiece from the early days of the US tour that started in February of the same year. is. This complete recording of the Cow Palace performance in San Francisco on February 7th with a very good stereo audience recording was praised not only for its high sound quality but also for its participation in the album ``MONEY AND CIGARETTES''. For some reason, Roger Hawkins, a famous session drummer from Muscle Shoals who was also a member of this tour, was replaced by Jamie Oldacre at the end of the Dallas performance on February 15th, and due to this incident, there was no record of any previous or subsequent performances. The nature of the tour was completely different, and the opening performance by Hawkins, who had only been with the band for a short time, was valuable, as well as the fact that only the opening dates had a set list made up of new songs from the album. It's from. This album is a complete recording of this precious period with the highest level of sound quality, so it was only natural that it sold out early when it was first released. It feels like the beginning of the opening number is slightly missing from the timing of the recording start, but the rest is completely trouble-free and the performance is overwhelming with tremendous power. Hawkins' drumming seems to be more conspicuously simple than that of the later All Day Cars, but that's why each note and shot packs so much power. As a result, it is a tight performance with a groove that is different from the all-day car period. In a sense, it is a representative performance that can be said to be a good fit for Hawkins' drums because it was a time when many numbers from the album were included. Among them are the original blues song "Crosscut Saw," which was not played until 1994 and 1995, and "I've Got A Rock n' Roll Heart," which was suddenly included in the set for the first time in 27 years on the 2010 tour.・It is valuable to be able to listen to the live version. You can also listen to other rare numbers such as "Crazy Country Hop" and "Slow Down Linda." On the contrary, it can be said that it is also characteristic that “The Shape You’re In”, which was assembled into the set after the all-day car was replaced, has not been played yet. In addition to these elements, Hawkins' "Layla" is also valuable. Historically, this song is one of those songs where the nuances of the drums have changed every time the drummer changes. Be sure to check out the Hawkins version, which uses his style of hitting in a completely different pattern from the later old cars. At the beginning of the tour, the only high-quality titles that were completely recorded were the Seattle performances on the first and second days of the tour, so the importance of this board is very high.
