This album is a complete recording of the Stockholm, Sweden performance on March 15, 1985, from the early spring UK and European tour that kicked off the world tour to promote the album "BEHIND THE SUN" released in 1985, with a superb stereo audience recording. This sound source has been released once, but the heavyweight master cassette had a slightly higher pitch due to aging, and was released without correcting it. Moreover, compared to the previously released version, the sound quality of the master provided this time was clearly better! The graininess and clarity of each instrument, which makes you think it is a "stereo soundboard recording" at first listen, is a sound quality that truly deserves to be described as "superb". In addition to this superb sound quality, we will deliver it with perfect pitch correction using our well-established adjustment technology. As a result, there is no doubt that this board will jump out as a top title representing this tour. Now, let's clarify the meaning of this performance in this year in chronological order.・February 28th - March 15th, 1985: European tour including the UK ←★Here★During this time, <<March 1st, 1985: Album "Behind the Sun" released>>・April 9th - May 3rd, 1985: US tour, first leg・May 8th, 1985: Appeared on the US live music program Late Night With David Letterman・June 21st - July 27th, 1985: US tour, second leg・October 5th - October 11th, 1985: Sixth Japan tour・October 14th - November 6th, 1985: Short European tour after touring Alaska and London・December 3rd - 23rd, 1985: A break, but during this time, he made surprise appearances on stage at concerts by Buddy Guy & Junior Wells, Sting, Gary Brooker, Dire Straits, and others. If you look at this, you can see that it was the final performance of the European tour, just after the release of the album "BEHIND THE SUN". After this, the long-term US tour and Japan tour were scheduled, so this first European tour was a test for Clapton to see how the numbers from the new album would be evaluated. The best sound source of the final performance, which could be called the finishing touch, was brought to us by the heavyweight taper. As you can see from listening to this board, Clapton and the band's performance was unparalleled powerful. For Clapton, it was a tour that ended with him gaining confidence. This year, Clapton had almost overcome his long-standing alcoholism and his looks had become very manly. He must have been happy to show his new self again. It was reflected in the set list. Four songs from the ambitious work "BEHIND THE SUN" were set in, including Same Old Blues, Tangled In Love, Behind The Sun, and Knock On Wood. Needless to say, the performance of the long original blues "Same Old Blues" was amazing, but the idea of expanding the second half of Behind the Sun, which was a short song in the studio, and medleying it with Wonderful Tonight was also an excellent idea that could only be heard at a live performance. Furthermore, Knock On Wood was dropped from the set on the later US tour, so you can only hear it here. The long performance performed as a blues medley on this day also showed that "that" Clapton was still alive and well. Even when he was playing hit songs and new songs, Clapton, who never forgot his original intentions, always played the old blues. Even more surprising, the last encore song, Further On Up The Road, was amazing. Have you ever heard a take of this song that was packed with such amazing playing? There have been many official releases of this song's live takes, including "E.C.WAS HERE", "THE LAST WALTZ" with The Band, "CROSSROADS" anthology box, and "JUST ONE NIGHT", but I can say with confidence that this take is the best of the official takes, which were supposed to have been released by selecting the best takes! Clapton's 1985 album was also amazing. It's safe to say that this is a historic recording that proves that.
