| Editorial Reviews: | | |  | | This laid-back, live, intimate session featuring Eric Clapton's bluesy guitar playing is quite enjoyable--if a bit limited in scope. With little lighting and frills and a small group backing him up, Clapton picks up his acoustic guitar and leads the listener down memory lane. Clapton is clearly on his best behavior as he engages in minimal small talk with his audience and lets the music speak for itself. The erstwhile Yardbird and former member of Cream and Blind Faith riffs through some dozen-plus songs including "Before You Accuse Me," "Tears in Heaven," "Walkin' Blues," "Alberta," "San Francisco Bay Blues" (in which Clapton thankfully cuts loose a bit), and his great hits "Layla" (written for his ex-wife, Patti Boyd Harrison) and "Old Love," a standard that garnered big applause. But the simple set and sparse stage can barely contain the energy that fills the arena when Clapton launches into "Rollin' and Tumblin'," a raucous, rousing bit of blues that Clapton is certainly still up for. This video is primarily for Clapton's most ardent fans, providing some heartfelt, soulful instrumental prowess in addition to an aging British rocker singing the blues as well as a white guy can. --Paula Nechak | |

| | Back in 1997, when dvds were introduced into the US market, "Eric Clapton - Unplugged" was one of the first ones on the shelves. And, there can be no doubt why. This is a gem, among gems. Knowing, the immense notoriety this performance has gained, it's funny to think EC originally didn't want to release it, because he thought that his fans would not take to it. He said that he always enjoyed playing these classic, blues numbers on his acoustic guitars at home, but never realized that other people would find them of interest. Well, being that this is probably, the most popular 'Unplugged' performance from the series, I guess he was wrong. In fact, this is what inspired him to take on his next project, "From The Cradle". As good as this dvd is, I hope that Warner/Reprise will see fit to release an updated edition, which adds a DTS track, as well as extras, that include the MTV interview and unreleased tracks, such as, "My Father's Eyes" and "Circus". Both of those tracks were reworked and released on "Pilgrim", but the original, raw, acoustic versions are priceless! Incidentally, I was wondering if anyone else noticed they reversed the names of his backup singers in the band section?? Yes, Tessa is the caucasian woman. Duh!! I hope, for their sake, they corrected this on later editions! Anyway, go out and get this one. You won't be sorry!
| | ERIC CLAPTON UNPLUGGED IS GREAT | |
| | WOW, eirc clapton is G-D...WOW, he is the greatest guitarist ever. Unplugged is awesome, clapton is amazing in concert. BUY THIS DVD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
| | | | I got this DVD for educational purposes. Even though I really love EC's unplugged album, it's so much better watching him perform. Where can I find a tabs for the unplugged album exactly as he plays on this DVD? The tabs I have supposedly is the accurate transcription...the Hal Leonard one (not the easy one). But it's different from the way he plays on the DVD. I play the DVD in slow motion and try to see how he does it. It's great. They do show a lot of close up shots of him playing, but I wish there were more. And I want to hear him playing solo more :) Not a duet and not with piano accompaniments etc.. The quality isn't that great, akin to that of a video tape. Minus 1 star for the quality.
| | | HEY,
I LOVE THE GUY LIKE EVERYONE ELSE DOES BUT THE ONLY THING I LIKED ABOUT THE VIDEO WAS HIS SHOWING HIMSELF, LIKE "STING" HAS DONE BUT WE HAVE ALL HEARD AND RE-HEARD THE SONGS AND I FINALLY TURNED OFF THE SOUND AND JUST WATCHED ONE OF THE WORLD'S GREATEST GUITAR PLAYER, BEAUTIFUL TO BOOT AS IN GORGEOUS AND STILL ENJOY HIS CONCERTS AND I AM 55!

| | | I have been a big EC fan for 25 years but this is the first time
I have seen him live, and it was on a DVD player through a Bose
Lifestyle 25. I was astounded by the 5.1 surround sound. It
really was like being in the audience. This is the only Clapton
dvd I own, so comparisons to his others are difficult, but I can assure you, if you are a Clapton fan this will delight.
