Last stop on the tour for me. Home town show recorded with DG just
like old times. Excellent sound but two flaws. During Pearly Queen
there was a bit of a arguement right behind me. Ended up wearing
part of a drink, but didnt let it affect the recording besides the
extra noise. The other problem is I missed the first bit of Low Spark
when the recorder has a memory error creating the second file. I had
to restart the unit and missed less than a minute. Oh well. So much
for the flawless recording.

  2. Low Down
  3. After Midnight
  4. Presence Of The Lord
  5. Sleeping In The Ground
  6. Glad
  7. Well All Right
  8. Tough Luck Blues
  9. Pearly Queen
  10. Crossroads
  11. There’s A River
  12. Forever Man
  13. Georgia On My Mind (Winwood solo)
  14. Driftin’

Disc Two

  1. How Long
  2. Layla (acoustic version)
  3. Can’t Find My Way Home
  4. Split Decision
  5. Voodoo Chile
  6. Sweet Home Chicago < You Better Watch Yourself (encore)
  7. Drowning On Dry Land (encore)

Note: a few seconds of “Sweet Home Chicago” are missing because the recorder was in the process of saving the WAV file as it reached the maximum size limit.
Originally recorded in 48kHz, the maximum size of the WAV (which is 2Gb) was reached about 125 minute into the show (during the encore). The recorder saved the file, and continued recording in another WAV file. But, a little snippet was lost in the process. You’ll hear an abrupt edit in an other wise excellent, nearly error-free recording with minimal crowd distraction.

Band:

Eric Clapton – Electric & Acoustic Guitars, Vocals
Steve Winwood – Keyboards, Electric & Acoustic Guitars, Vocals
Chris Stainton – Keyboards
Willie Weeks – Electric Bass Guitar
Abe Laboriel, Jr. – Drums
Michelle John – Vocals
Sharon White – Vocals

Roy’s impression:

WOW – great show and one of the best concert tours of the year. The decision to bring on Buddy Guy seemed to have been spontaneous. After “Voodoo Chile,” Eric turned to Stevie and made a “cut it” gesture (hand across throat). Eric then declined the fresh guitar a stage hand had tried to offer (indicating to me that the stage crew was expecting the usual “Cocaine”) and promptly left the stage. The band left the stage for the usual false exit before the encore, and I noticed an additional amp being wheeled on and mic’ed.
An extra guest during an Eric Clapton show in Chicago can only mean one person – Buddy Guy, the Blues Mayor of the City. Buddy came on stage, and they tore the house down. Buddy played Stevie’s powder blue guitar, which was poorly mic’ed (and inaudible) for the first few minutes of the encore. After the fifteen-minute encore, Eric and Buddy left the stage rather abruptly. There was no final bow from the performers, as is common. Stevie Winwood merely walked off the stage without any acknowledgment from Clapton, and the house lights came on. I’m not sure how the egos of 60-something rock stars are, but I thought it was somewhat remarkable that Clapton seemed to be more interested in ending the show with his arms around Buddy Guy than waving a final farewell and bow with Steve Winwood.

Enjoy! Feedback is welcome.

David Gans has been producing the Grateful Dead Hours for years and years. It is a weekly radio show that airs mostly live Grateful Dead music (most of which is officially unreleased) but also tons of other Grateful Dead related (sometimes only barely) music. It is a great show and I was very said when I moved away from a radio station that plays it.

For awhile Gans was releasing his show to the internet in MP3 format (though pre-radio compression so they still sound much better than if you had recorded off the air) to whoever asked. Actually he still might be doing that, I’ve just stopped asking. Anyways I have a few of them on disk and as I’m trying to upload basically everything I’ve got you now have it too.
