Tracks list

Eric Claptons Rainbow Concert is an album recorded live at Londons Rainbow
Theatre on January 13, 1973, and released within the year. The concert was
organised by Pete Townshend and marked Eric Claptons comeback after the 1971
Concert for Bangladesh. In the year after the Rainbow Concert, Clapton recovered
from his heroin addiction and recorded 461 Ocean Boulevard.

This concert is the first live performance where Clapton used his famous
Stratocaster guitar Blackie.

In the days of album expansion, its not unusual for a record company to reissue
an old album with a bonus track or two. This reconstruction of the January 13,
1973, comeback concert by Eric Clapton is something else again, however. The
original six-track LP ran less than 27 minutes; the new 14-track expansion runs
almost 74 minutes. The eight additions – Layla, Blues Power, Bottle of
Red Wine, Bell Bottom Blues, Tell the Truth, Key to the Highway, Let It Rain,
and Crossroads – make the disc an effective recapitulation of Claptons
career over the previous seven years, including his solo work and his
appearances with John Mayalls Bluesbreakers, Cream, and Derek and the Dominos.
Despite the addiction that had kept him largely homebound for almost two years,
Clapton played well, though the all-star backup band was as ragged as it was
spirited. The loose feel of the evening was brought out in the stage
announcements, many by Pete Townshend, who even mentioned a social disease just
before introducing Presence of the Lord. This still isnt a great Clapton show,
but it has been transformed from a historical curiosity to a historical
document.
