Title: A fine addition to the Clapton catalogue
Review: Eric Clapton, Bobby Whitlock, Carl Radle and Jim Gordon play some truly memorable live blues rock on this fine double album.Clapton may not have had too high an opinion of himself as a singer at this point (he seems more comfortable playing his guitar), and his vocals do sound strained at times. But he does his best to compensate with a number of lengthy solos, several riveting ones, some good ones, and a few dull, misguided ones, too.Most of these live cuts are a very welcome addition to the Clapton legacy, though, especially the superb take on Big Bill Broonzy's "Key To The Highway", the rocking "Bottle Of Red Wine" and "Blues Power" (nice boogie piano by Whitlock), and the eerie "Crossroads".I can't imagine anyone who is into early Eric Clapton not liking this fine album.
