 Tremendous!! July 21, 2008
This is a fantastic dvd both in picture and sound quality and Clapton is just a god.
Clapton at his best January 29, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
EC, with an inner calm, delivers sizzling performances of such songs as Tearing Us Apart, Five Long Years, Have You Ever Loved a Woman, Old Love, and a beautiful version of I Shot the Sheriff (each one of which alone is worth the price of this DVD). Lovely guitar solos and powerful vocals on every song. Backed by his fantastic band, which includes Andy Fairweather-Low, Steve Gadd, Dave Bronze and Chris Stainton, Clapton does not need any special effects to make this show memorable. EC always seems to put on a great show, but there is something special about this one. I've watched it several times and each time it seems to get better.
 4 Stars for the performance January 11, 2007
I was at this concert back in 1996 so this is a nice souvenir of the day. That said even at the time I wasn't blown away with the show and the DVD confirms that.br /br /It's all very polished and professional, and Clapton is never anything less than very good, but there's something wrong about seeing a Blues orientated set played in front of 125,000 people. There seems to be something missing - I don't know what it is. Atmosphere maybe.br /br /Compare this to the Cream reunion DVD, or 24 Nights even and it's not Eric's finest hour on film. Mind you when he plays the solo on White Room you really have to admire the man. A true legend.br /
At last, a full five stars for Eric and his band June 2, 2006
I have to say that after 40 years of watching Clapton on stage, this was one of his very best outings. This is more of a blues set than anything else, and his playing on Five Long Years is absolutely stellar. Also very good indeed are Tore Down, It Hurts Me Too and Have You Ever Loved a Woman, which is exceptional. I don't care what anybody says, Clapton comes to life when he is on a blues kick, which is not to say that he doesn't do the rest well. My idea of heaven is to listen to White Room and the Live Crossroads one after another for about two days on the trot.br /br /What is so good about Eric and makes him diffrent from Stevie Ray Vaughan, for example, is his timing - that's what it's all about, folks, not the speed or the style or the tone. And in Five Long Years, at last we have the master of timing on DVD.The trouble with Stevie Ray (RIP, Stevie) and a million others is that good as they are, and as blues-loving as they may be, they're predictable and therefore ultimately unsatisfying and ultimately rather boring sometimes. Very "in", I know, but oh, those longeurs ..... It's the TIMING, I tell you!br /br /I also have a few minor gripes - the ever reliable Dave Bronze is reliable to the point of being pedesrtian, more of Andy F-L's fabulous playing would be good and the sound is a little odd at times.Steve Gadd (especially) and Chris Stainton sound really great here and I think the girls, Tessa and Katie, sound pretty good.br /br /All in all, a very polished performance of Eric at his very best. And he's British,Show those darn upstarts how to do it, 'ric!br /br /
No Jekyll and Hyde Performance here!! January 30, 2005
11 out of 11 found this review helpful
To put this concert DVD in perspective, Eric Clapton headlined a gig at Hyde Park in which he followed acts such as Jools Holland, Bob Dylan (with Ronnie Wood) and The Who (for whom this was their first gig together since Live Aid, I believe, and to whom the day really belonged). I know this because I was there (and I am fortunate that I can be seen on the cover of this DVD), and remember vividly that I turned to my friend after the Who finished their first ever complete live performance of their Quadrophenia album and said, "Much as I love Eric, he could never top that. The Who should have been the headline act." Eric, if you ever read this I'm sorry I doubted you...pClapton strode onto the stage as if it was his own living room and blew everything that went before him away with a blistering set containing most of his classics. Opening with the Acoustic version of Layla he then delivered (amonst others) Badge, Wonderful Tonight, White Room, Have you ever loved a woman and Holy Mother. The set highlights were Five Long Years and I Shot the Sheriff, delivered with real passion and dynamics. The latter's solo built and built with fire and intensity.pPut simply, if you are a fan of Clapton this is one concert you must hear! It is well known that Eric has frustrated some of his fans over the years with inconsistent studio outings, but the real essence of the man can always be found live on stage where he thrives, and on this night he really performed! No inconsistencies here - Buy it!
