Geetarz Comments:

Good news, bad news … the good news, the set begins with the
best number EC’s ever opened with, “The Core” … the bad news,
it fades in !

Still, soundboard performances from this era are rare enough,
unlike say the 1974 tour where we have an embarassment of riches,
so no more complaints.

“Fool’s Paradise” is quite nice, featuring Marcy Levy on vocals.

“Cocaine” fades out before the end.

Great version of “Nobody Knows You” with March Levy on vocals!

Disc 2, track 5 @3:36 there is a small glitch in the original,
this seems a defect in the source and not an extraction error.

Nice B3 work on “Bottle of Red Wine”.

George Terry really nails the slide part on “Layla”, especially
the last few notes.

Be warned that this is the correct artwork for this title, there
is fake artwork for this CD set floating around in the trading
community.

CD-R (Trade) > LiteOn iHAP322 > EAC v. 0.99 Prebeta 4 (Secure Mode,
Offset Correct @ +6,0,24 bytes) > FLAC (Level 8) > You !

Artwork, checksums (ffp, MD5, ST5), Audiochecker v. 1.2 logs, EAC
extraction logs, and info file provided, as is a whole-torrent MD5
file.

This is definitely one of those oft-overlooked shows, some
performances (for instance, the Santa Monica show from earlier in
the year) have so many versions, and yet others don’t seem to get
the proper attention, this is one of those.

Pour yourself a Bottle of Red Wine and play this puppy loud!

From the original uploader:
Here’s a very nice sounding, mostly complete audience show from Osaka 1975. It’s sourced from an LP, but I do not know the name or info of the boot. Sample included of As the Years Go Passing By – EC has only played this tune a few times, one would think.

And a note about the EC series I’ve been enjoying bringing to you: I have one more to put up in this part of the series, then I will be jumping to my favorite EC tour – I have several nice sounding blues shows (’94 – ’95) that I haven’t seen up on the tracker so stay tuned …

Geetarz Comments:

This is probably one of, if not the, most oft-booted Clapton shows ever, and it’s dizzying trying to keep track of all the different versions, remasters, etc. Rather than tell you which version I think you should listen to, I prefer just to put ’em up and let YOU decide.

There are debates as to the lineage of this recording – some sources list it as a soundboard, others as an impeccable audience recording. I tend to believe it is the latter, but even if I am wrong, does it really matter? If I feed you something you think is chicken, as long as it tastes like chicken, you’re full and who cares? Just enjoy the meal.

For me personally this is the 2nd official ROIO I came across of this performance, and the Slowhand Masterfile, although a bit dated now, has always stood the test of time in my opinion as a very worthy collection.
