Eric Clapton - Royal Albert Hall - 17/02/91 (As broadcast by the BBC)

I used to really enjoy listening and indeed recording the BBC Radio 1 In Concert series on a Saturday evening during the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. I still have the cassette tapes and as the BBC has no immediate plan to make these available to the public I have decided to release close to 250 of these historical recordings on my KZbin channel.

Eric the love of my life😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@johnohara8901]

Fantastic stuff thanks. We were at that concert in row two. Got to the front for the last half dozen songs. I stood right next to him and his guitar stand and as he went off after Layla I asked him for his plectrum. He told me he was still going to need it for the encore. Sure enough he came out and as he put his guitar down for the final time I looked at him and he took the plectrum out of his pocket and handed it to me. As he did about 20 arms shot out around me, but thankfully he made sure I got it. My son was only a youngster at the time but goes every time to see EC now with me and I have given him it with an EC signed photo. Great memories of one of his finest ever concerts. Thanks again for putting it up for us all to listen to.

At last ! ThE 17th feb. show has turned Up!!. I bought a tape from a hippie in Candem in 1991, one month after ThE gig ...And I Would freak out endlessly by ThE way he sings in "Sheriff", among many things....Twenty eight years later, I can listen TO It again ! Thanks a lot !

[@kenwora7679]

The solo on this version of Sheriff is simply next level. Clapton at his very very best. It’s what made me pick up the guitar for the first time. It’s what made me buy a proper Blackie. Never looked back. It still gives me goosebumps. People go on about Alchemy Live Sultans of Swing as the best live solo ever - this blows that out of the water in my view.

[@constancelena]

Amen ❤ FANTASTIC MUSIC! Pure bliss! 😊🎉thank you VERY MUCH! 😅

[@pabloperez4063]

Best Sheriff singing ever

[@Mindboggle100]

Two completely different guitar styles... not comprable.

[@SosCassidy-ol3ke]

Can’t never stop playing this concert and off to see one of his backing singers doing her stuff at a blues gig in Bratislava. The joy of how are lives come back to music…….

1 mois avant le drame absolu..... Et pourtant là il était le roi du monde 💫🎶🎸💫 Que de moments ont dûs le hanter toute sa vie. ❤LE MUSICIEN EST GRAND ET L'HOMME EST GRAND AUSSI ❤

[@SosCassidy-ol3ke]

I actually taped this concert off the radio that v night. And to this day it is still as fresh as paint in its sound. A timeless classic live performance and even better than the album Eric released from one of his 28 nights at the Royal Albert Hall. Everytime I play this concert it transports me to each occasion and location where I was in 1991 as a youthful 20 year old whilst playing this concert.

[@pabloperez4063]

ThE BEST "before you accuse me" ever in terms of singing, piano And 2nd solo...

[@danielolson5378]

Unexpected of EC to do a song by Weather Report cause he usually don't do stuff that's more jazzy. Not saying he didn't pull it off he did a really beautiful version.

[@wylco1959]

@@danielolson5378 I think you'll find that it was played by Nathan East.

@philhonley I love you! I enjoyed many of the Radio 1 concert broadcasts and recorded a few myself. Your project to upload them is hugely appreciated. Long may it continue.

[@bobbydazzler8684]

There's an argument for stating that Clapton was at his absolute peak during the 1990s. Starting with the 24 Nights / RAH shows, Unplugged, From the Cradle... he was simply phenomenal throughout the decade!

[@pantone301]

👍👍👏👏

[@3rdtonefromthesun]

@36:00 That is truly the fastest I've ever heard Clapton play!

[@ceezare3039]

I Shot The Sheriff Solo is probably some of the best music I’ve ever heard. Incredible stuff man.

[@paulbrown9768]

My first EC concert. That solo took my breath away and I remember to this day.

[@malootchky]

White Room is also a gem. Actually all versions I heard, the White Room is always a full blown shred. Eric certainly likes it. Yesterday I saw the movie "EC 24 nights across" - what a fantastic experience. Like I was 11 again.

[@darrinvandemark4781]

Where is the symphony intro from? Its awesome! Anyone know???

[@anthonycraig1458]

It was played over the PA before the band came on stage so prerecorded - I'm guessing a recording from the previous year's orchestral nights possibly.

[@johnconstantinides]

@@anthonycraig1458 "Tearing Us Apart" was played during the February 17 and 18 shows as mentioned on the Where's Eric website a couple of years ago, there's even a bootleg recording from the February 17 gig which includes this track in the setlist.

[@anthonycraig1458]

Tearing us apart definitely wasn't in the set that night.

Fantastic. Any way of getting a hard copy of this?

[@paulmartin3725]

Easy, Ed - First get a YT download program, I use Freemake Video Downloader. Cick the gearwheel symbol under the picture, choose the highest qualitry, at top of screen copy the IRL, then use FVD (or another) to download it, then convert to WAV and/or mp3 with e.g. Real Player. Then burn a CD if you want with Real Player. Sounds complicated, but you'll soon get the hang of it. Enjoy!
