Comments:

“This may be – in terms of the number of different releases – the most-circulated Clapton recording among collectors.  This is with good reason, as it’s a good show! Over the years many incomplete versions of this performance were traded among collectors, and then among the first Clapton ROIO released on vinyl [I would disagree though that Snowhead was one of the first Clapton vinyl bootlegs], then on some of the very first Clapton CD ROIO releases.”

” “The Core”, and the blues medley (“Going Down Slow”, and “Ramblin’ On My Mind”) from this performance were later released as part of the “Crossroads 2: Live in the Seventies” box set. If you listen and compare, it’s clear that the officially released versions are remixed – it’s a shame they dole out bits and pieces instead of the whole show! Still, this is a neat one and a personal favorite.  Of note, EC instrumentals are rare enough in concert, but to open a show with one and then segue into one of the few truly er, wonderful, versions of “Wonderful Tonight” is a real treat.”
