[Completely recorded footage of the first day of the RAH performance in May 2022!] After Eric Clapton's COVID-19 pandemic, we will release a wonderful, fully recorded audience shot of the first day on May 7th from the consecutive performances at the Royal Albert Hall (hereinafter referred to as RAH) in London this year! This RAH performance was scheduled last year, but was postponed for a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and it was finally realized, so fans who couldn't go to see it will be happy to be able to watch it with this high quality image and sound. The angle was aimed from the first floor stand seats (about 30 degrees) on the right side of the stage, and since there were no obstacles in front, Clapton's whole body was clearly captured from the diagonal right, and sometimes the camera was pointed at the whole view of the stage and the members who were given solos, which is a wonderful composition. Recently, our shop released a complete version of the audience shot on the second day of RAH, and although the set list is the same as that, the distance from the stage is closer to this work, making it more worth watching. However, for the last song, Layla, and the encore, the person filming the main footage seemed to have encountered some inconvenience, so the footage was switched to footage filmed by another person on a mobile phone from the first floor stand 30 degrees to the left of the stage. As expected, the image quality of these two songs is lower than that of the main feature, but there were no problems with filming throughout the show, and although the sound picked up some of the hall's noise, it was easy to listen to and overall it can be said to be an excellent video. What's interesting is that when the intro to Layla started, the audience rushed to the front of the stage at once, and most of them were filming Clapton with their smartphones in hand. This is unthinkable in Japan. Even at RAH, which is strict about filming and recording and has good security, the situation was no longer under control. [The charm is the set list, which has changed completely from last year's and this year's March tours!] The charm of this performance is not only that Clapton, who turned 77 this year, can be seen playing energetically, but also that he has made significant changes to the set list, which is rare for him. He probably wants to play these songs, but his attitude of constantly updating his stage, thinking of his fans, shows his professionalism. The opening number is dedicated to his former ally and best friend Gary Brooker (formerly of Procol Harum), who passed away in February of this year, which is what really gets to me. Clapton always has these kind of heartfelt feelings. And what's noteworthy is that he set up his latest song, Heart Of A Child. This is a digital single that was released only for streaming, but the original song had a Latin flavor, but here it retains that mood while elevating it to the usual Clapton-like acoustic performance. It's a great song for the current situation, appealing, "Don't pollute the innocent hearts of children." He also played Chaplin's Smile in March of this year, and it's the first time in 48 years since 1974 that he set it up. It's easy to imagine Clapton's feelings of wanting to "smile" in this current era. The acoustic set that started with this song was also a highlight, as Andy Fairweather Low, who was a local, joined in and provided good support. The second half was the usual royal road composition. What a sense of security! Fans would have been happy just to have a lively Clapton here playing this song. It is also very rare that Layla has been played twice, in an acoustic set and an electric set. This pattern has only happened once in the past, on the 2001 Japan tour. It was a special night where fans could enjoy the popular song twice with different arrangements. The solo in the electric Layla's postlude is worth watching, as he plays a better phrase for longer than on the second day. If you see this stage, you will be looking forward to his next visit to Japan. Live at Royal Albert Hall, London, UK 7th May 2022 AMAZING-SHOT!!!(111:28) 1. Intro 2. Lead Me To The Water 3.
