Bruno I didnīt know that. Here is a review from http://www.warr.org/clapton.html:


After a couple years of hiding in his house, snorting heroin, and very occasionally cutting sessions for his friends' albums, Clapton was finally roused by Pete Townshend to put on a benefit concert. There are too many cooks stirring the pot, however, and the sound suffers: Rick Grech on bass, Jim Capaldi on drums, Rebop on percussion, Steve Winwood on organ (all borrowed from Traffic), a second drummer (Jimmy Karstein), and then Townshend, Clapton, and Ron Wood all joining in on guitar. The originals of such hits as "Badge" and "Presence Of The Lord" are similar but better, and the only unusual selections are a Traffic number ("Pearly Queen") and the Dominos' old A-side "Roll It Over." Those who want to hear Clapton in concert would do better to start with the live Dominos album. However, the completely redone 1995 CD version not only has enough bonus tracks to double the album, but makes it clear what the extra players are for: on tracks like "Layla," Winwood's piano and Wood's slide guitar create more depth than you'll find on any other live Clapton or Cream record. Plus the improved mix shows that it's Wood and Townshend, not Clapton, who respectively hold down much of the lead and rhythm work ("Bell Bottom Blues"). All of the new titles are Clapton standards from Eric Clapton ("Let It Rain") and Layla, except, of course, yet another version of "Crossroads." My rating is based on the long version; subtract a full star for the original. Recorded by Glyn Johns. (JA)

Anybody heard it? It must be great stuff...

Drewby I bought the CD in 6th grade. I thought it was great. I have since lost it and I need to purchase a new one.
