ERIC CLAPTON - AFTER MIDNIGHT LIVE 

The great guitarist, singer, and bandleader Eric Clapton in a beautifully shot concert, captured at the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, California. Backed by a tasteful ensemble of brilliant players - including Dire Straits' Mark Knopfler on guitar - Clapton offers an extended trip through his now-classic catalogue.

The great Cream period is well-represented: "Crossroads", "White Room", "Sunshine Of Your Love", and "Badge" get especially thoughtful treatment, with Clapton's incisive guitar lines seeming, if anything, even more deft and startling than they were in the day. Radio hits are here too, from "Lay Down Sally", and "I Shot the Sheriff" to "Layla" and "Wonderful Tonight". And the blues are of course never far away. 

Amazing jamming combined with impressive maturity and restraint are the hallmarks of this stunning evening - in which Eric Clapton's role as one of the greatest musicians of our time is fully demonstrated.
