CLASSIC 1985 BROADCAST RECORDED WHILE PROMOTING BEHIND THE SUN.
Recorded for live FM radio Broadcast by the King Biscuit Network in the spring of 1985, Eric Clapton’s stunning concert at the Richmond Coliseum in Virginia occurred one month after the release of „Behind the Sun”, the Phil Collins–produced studio album that would place Clapton back atop radio playlists with singles ‘She’s Waiting’ and ‘Forever Man.’ Clapton had assembled a crackerjack band comprised of most the musicians who appeared on the album – a crew including former Joe Cocker keyboardist Chris Stainton, ex-Fairport Convention guitarist Tim Renwick, future Little Feat vocalist Shaun Murphy and Donald „Duck” Dunn, bassist from the legendary Booker T. & the MG’s.
Eric Clapton’s by now troubled marriage to Pattie Boyd – the woman for whom he composed „Layla”, „Bell Bottom Blues” and numerous other of his best loved songs – became the main subject matter for most of his original material at the time and It was during the recording of the record that Boyd left him.
The British rocker plays it safe with a hit-filled set of radio classics for this concert. Opening with a lengthy piano intro, he breaks into a jumping version of ‘Tulsa Time,’ which is followed by a very soulful rendition of Bob Marley’s ‘I Shot The Sheriff.’ The always welcome ‘Wonderful Tonight’ provides the show’s anchor ballad, and sounds as touching here as it did when Clapton originally recorded it for Patti in the late 1970s.
The medley of Cream classic ‘Badge’ segued into Clapton’s first solo hit, 1970’s ‘Let It Rain,’ rocks hard and offers the most nostalgia of the night. Chris Stainton’s Hammond B3 solo is exceptional and offers a nice counter-balance to Clapton’s frequent guitar solos. With the entire 2+ hour show now released on this new double CD set, this remarkable concert is now available for fans to hear and indeed own for the first time.
