Eric Clapton’s 1974 “461 OCEAN BOULEVARD TOUR”, which made a comeback after a three-year retirement period, was carried out on a worldwide scale from all over North America to Japan and Europe, but among them, the last trip was 12. Speaking of the London performance on the 4th of the month, the outflow stereo sound board sound source is famous, and it soon became a boot leg, and the official release in 2010 “461 OCEAN BOULEVARD Deluxe EDITION” is also part of this day. The live take of was officially recorded. Bassist Carl Radle himself, who was a band member at the time, said, “The London performance was the best performance on this tour.” It is Meanwhile, a complete version of the best stereo audience recording of this performance has appeared! This master was recorded by the taper “Mike B” that created the masterpieces “CSN & Y / The Band / Joni Mitchell – Wembley Stadium 1974” and “The Allman Brothers Band – Knebworth 1974”. Fans may say, “No, no, the official board is enough” or “I already have the boot of the sound board …” just for the familiar performances on the sound board. However, it is. When listening to this high-quality audience master, it is a level that will surprise everyone, saying, “This amazing master has been sleeping for 49 years!” I can’t believe that the recording was made with such quality in this age! Moreover, it is not the one uploaded to the net, but the original master obtained independently by our shop, so of course it will be the first CD. The difference from the sound board is the reaction of the real audience at that time (In the official sound board recording, the applause and cheers of the audience recorded with the ambient microphone set up in the audience are intentionally controlled during mixing. etc. are always cut). How did Clapton’s local London fans take Clapton’s comeback for the first time in three years while they were waiting until the final leg of the tour despite being local? How did you feel about Clapton’s solo band that wasn’t Derek & The Dominos? How did you react to the new song “461” and the former number that became a laid back arrangement? The reality of the venue, which could not be known by the sound board master, will be revived with the atmosphere of the famous venue Hammersmith Odeon. Furthermore, it cannot be overlooked that the sound board master has the advantage that the missing parts are fully recorded (described later). Excellent audience recordings have a charm that only dwells in audience recordings. I would like you to check it out and time slip to the Hammersmith Odeon of this day. ・ June 19th and 20th, 1974: Warm-up gig in Northern Europe for the US comeback tour

It was the final leg of the tour. The value of this day is to escape the tension and pressure and not feel the effects of booze at all on a tour that you complete so drunk. That’s why Karl Laidl would have rated it highly. Even though it’s been 3 years, or more precisely, I made a comeback at the Rainbow Concert the year before, but I’m betrayed by the expectations of the local fans who have been waiting for me. On the other hand, there is Clapton who strives to play with a really sincere appearance. The set list is also attractive, and from the album “461 OCEAN BOULEVARD” which had already been released at this point and became a big topic, Let It Grow, I Shot the Sheriff, Willie and the Hand Jive, Get Ready, Steady Rollin ‘Man etc. While setting in the number, the number from the next album “THERE’S ONE IN EVERY CROWD”, which was full of creative motivation and had already completed recording, Opposites and Singin’ the Blues were also incorporated, and Cream era’s Badge and Blind were included. ・Can’t Find My Way Home in the face era, Let It Rain, Blues Power, Tell The Truth, Little Wing, Layla in the era of American rock, and my favorite blues Ramblin’ On My Mind / Have You Ever Loved After playing a Woman exactly, it was the best set list to open the curtain with an unexpected Smile. Among them, on this tour, Everly Brothers’ standard number All I Have to Do Is Dream, which was jointed in medley instead of her Layla’s piano coda, was changed to medley from Badge on this day, and Layla There is also a surprising development that I am playing again.
