admission
Initially, two of the London concerts were recorded for a theatrical, video and audio release in 2015. The first show took place on May 20, 2015. Clapton performed a total of seventeen pieces that evening, which should leave room for editing because of possible poor recordings. A second appearance was recorded on May 21, 2015. In the end, only these recordings were used for publication.
The Briton Paul Carrack , who was on tour with Clapton as an organist and singer , recalled the recordings for the music film in an interview with the Canadian National Post : “The music was fantastic. Eric doesn't really care that he turned seventy. It was like any other gig for all of us. However, the Royal Albert Hall had a special atmosphere. When we gave our first concert this time, Eric said that he would like to skip the next concert dates. The second evening was much better. […] When Eric plays at the Royal Albert Hall, it's all about the music. It feels like playing in a small club. Especially if you only play in huge arenas and auditoriums that are not really made for concerts and loud music. But the Royal Albert Hall just has this wonderful, intimate atmosphere ”.
content
According to the official announcement, the concert film will feature "classics and fan favorites from Eric Clapton's career," as well as pieces he recorded with bands such as Cream and Derek and the Dominos , as well as titles he made famous during his time as a solo artist.
