Eric planned to release a double live album in 1987, based on shows from
1986 and 1987. I am including the dates and venues of all shows recorded
because (and I *can't* guarantee this) there is a chance that a recorded
show has found its way onto a bootleg, and if it was professionally recorded
then there's a chance it will be of better quality. Incidentally, the album
was abandoned when "Crossroads" and "The Cream of Eric Clapton" were
released, because Polydor were afraid of swamping the market. So here, then,
are the shows that were recorded for the project. (J.M.)
10/7/86 - Le Casino, Montreux. "Cocaine" and "Sunshine of Your Love"
from this show were intended for release.
14/7/86 - Birmingham National Exhibition Centre. Nothing ever issued.
15/7/86 - Birmingham National Exhibition Centre. "White Room", "Same
Old Blues", "Holy Mother" and "Further On Up The Road" from
this show were intended for release. Indeed, this show is
available on video and much of it has been subsequently
released on CD singles/12"s.
10/1/87 - Royal Albert Hall, London. "Miss You" from this show was
intended for release.
11/1/87 - Royal Albert Hall, London. Nothing ever issued.
12/1/87 - Royal Albert Hall, London. "I Shot The Sheriff", "Hung Up On
Your Love", "Tearing Us Apart" and "Layla" from this show
were intended for release.
26/4/87 - Providence Civic Centre. "Wonderful Tonight" from this show
was intended for release.
27/4/87 - Madison Square Garden, New York. "Badge & Let It Rain" from
this show was intended for release.

"Soundwise the Masterfile version is slightly inferior owing to its lower volume level. The CD split // on the Masterfile Part 13 set comes prior to "Holy Mother", rather than "Tearing Us Apart", which is a much better place to split the set as the audience goes very quiet at that point. This recording is uninterrupted, and includes in its entirety Eric's introduction of Greg Philinganes prior to "Tearing Us Apart", as well as all of the applause at the end of the main set (~4 minutes) and Eric's introduction of Robert Cray prior to the final encore. All of these are edited on "EC at NEC"." (P.W.) See also:"Ringtrick" - Mid Valley - 23/24 - sb6

(See below) 1993 - EC/Chris Stainton (Keyboards)/Andy Fairweather-Low (Guitar)/ Donald 'Duck' Dunn (Bass)/Richie Hayward (Drums)/ Jerry Portnoy (Harmonica)/Brass Section/Katie Kassoon (Vocals)/ Maggie Ryder (Vocals) Layla (Part One) (1)/Layla (Part Two) (1)/Money For Nothing (1)/ Sunshine of Your Love (1)/Pretending (2)/Running on Faith (2)/ Bad Love (2)/Lay Down Sally (2)/Hideaway (2)/All Your Love (2)/ Tears in Heaven (3) Volume 4 (BAN-005-D) starts with 3 songs from the same night as Volume 3, "Layla", "Money for Nothing" and "Sunshine of your love". Strangely the 2 drummers swap positions from the first CD! - Volume 3 has Phil Collins mixed to the left, Steve Ferrone to the right, and Volume 4 has them the other way around. Otherwise sound and mix quality for this part is identical. The next 4 songs are from Royal Albert Hall 1990, probably 24/01/90. "Running on Faith" is identical to the version on "24 Nights", and "Pretending" is identical to one broadcast on an MTV special here in Australia "The four faces of Eric Clapton", which contained "White Room" from the same night. Sound quality is about the same while it is not mixed as exceptionally - a sb5. I have no idea where the last three songs were recorded, but the sound is pretty bad, especially compared with the rest of the CD. This is obviously an audience recording and I'd rate it about a 3 at best. (I.H. / R.B.)

Recorded at the Rosemont Horizon, Chicago on 19/04/87. (See below) 9 tracks on 1 CD. Total Time : 63:05 EC/Nathan East (Bass)/Phil Collins (Drums)/Greg Phillinganes (Keyboards) Miss You/Wonderful Tonight/Tearing Us Apart/Badge/Crossroads/White Room/ Further On Up the Road/Layla/Hung Up On Your LoveThe source for info on this CD suggested that it was recorded in Chicago in 1992, but the set-list leads me to think otherwise. Given these numbers, at least part of the CD *has* to be sourced from a tour in 1987, and, as luck would have it, there is Chicago show during the US tour that year. However, I'm really putting two and two together here and I may be getting a five! Be warned! (J.M.)
