10 maart 2017.
Eric Clapton has announced the upcoming release of Live In San
Diego With Special Guest JJ Cale on DVD and Blu-Ray on March 10,
2017. In addition to the main DVD and Blu-Ray program, fans will
enjoy an extra footage of Clapton and Cale rehearsing “Anyway The
Wind Blows” and “Who Am I Telling You?” for theconcert. The DVD and
Blu-Ray offering follows the release of the 2 CD set, 3 LP vinyl
set and digital album of the concert, released on September 30,
2016 on Reprise/Bushbranch Records. Recorded at Clapton’s March 15,
2007 performance at the iPayOne Center in San Diego, CA, Live In
San Diego With Special Guest JJ Cale concert was part of a world
tour that was much loved by Clapton fans and featured a stellar
band that included guitarists Derek Trucks (now of the Tedeschi
Trucks band) and Doyle Bramhall II. The two-hour San Diego concert
was a highlight of the tour as it featured JJ Cale as a special
guest on five tracks (including “After Midnight” and “Cocaine”), as
well as Robert Cray on the final song of the record, “Crossroads.”
After successfully covering several JJ Cale songs over his career,
Clapton finally collaborated with Cale in 2006 on the original
album Road to
Escondido. At the time, Clapton said “This is the realization of
what may have been my last ambition, to work with the man whose
music has inspired me for as long as I can remember.” So it is
fitting that one year later, Cale joined Clapton on stage for this
special concert where they performed five songs together -
underlining the mutual respect the two musicians had for each
other. The concert features a superb set list from across Eric’s
career. Notably, it includes songs from Eric’s classic Derek and
the Dominos album Layla, with Derek Trucks playing many of Duane
Allman’s original guitar parts. Clapton is currently preparing to
play North American shows for 2017, a series of concert dates at
two famed venues: New York’s Madison Square
Garden and Los Angeles’ Forum. The shows will be a celebration of
50 years in music and just as many decades performing at these two
venues. Legendary guitar players Gary Clark, Jr. and Jimmie Vaughan
will be special guests at the shows.Clapton’s career, spanning more
than 50 years, has resulted in 18 Grammy Awards and the distinct
honor of being the only triple inductee into the Rock & Roll
Hall of Fame.
