What a treat! This is a fantastic DVD that will leave you speechless. A must for any Clapton fan. Good thing DVD's don't wear out. You will watch it over and over again.

First, let me tell you that, being a Clapton fan I try to get hold of everything he releases, whether official or not, and of my modest collection, this is, along with the Hyde Park concert of 1996, one of the best performances caught on video.
As part of the small tour of 1986 he did, this England unique date of a 2-day leg, features Phil Collins on drums, Greg Phillinganes on Keyboards and bassist extraordinaire Nathan East. The tight sound is amazing and as other reviewer mentioned, for a 4 piece, the sound is great, like a steam roller downhill!
As for the Dvd release, this concert had been out in VHS form and now the DVD makes justice to the sound with DTS and 5.1 features. Video quality does not improve much upon the original tape, but I guess just there's so much you can do with a 1986 videotape. As far as extras, this release has none but the simples menu and intro animation with a small 3D guitar spinning around.
I love this concert so much I'd like to see a few more tracks, or some commetary by one of the performers. Anyway, it is a great document in Clapton's career and "comeback" of the mid 80's. Recommended!

What more could be said that hasn't already been said. This is a fantastic
jam session with one of the best Eric Clapton. This is a must buy for Eric Clapton fans.

This disc not only captures Eric Clapton ing great form, he's having fun and it shows. Nathan East on bass,Greg Phillinganes on keyboards and Phil Collins on drums. These four together seem to have been playing together for years The crowd reactions add to the excitment of the music and vocal by all four. If you enjoy watching live shows while enjoying great music then this disc won't disappoint you. I had this show from 1986 on vhs I wore out my copy I've been looking for a new copy ever since. This disc is a must own for anyone who buys music dvds.

this was one of my most amazing in-home experiences! such energy was displayed by all the guys! ever wondered if Layla could be done successfully with one guitar? wonder no more, they pulled it off with grace. if you're a guitarist, you understand how difficult it is to to reach that hook in correct timing. i must also mention Phil Collins' performance of "in the air tonight".....BLEW ME AWAY!! i'd never seen him like that! the end was a humorous one with a comical farewell from the band and eric's bad note on the encore of "sunshine of your love". a fantastic show all-around!

I am sorry, but, I am unable to write a review on any of Eric Claptons' music VHS tapes. I live in Australia and his music videos are not available in PAL format. What a shame, such a brilliant guitarist scanning decades of everchanging style. Is there anyway I can purchase PAL formatted Eric Clapton VHS music videos?

This concert was filmed during Eric Clapton's world tour for the "August" album and features Phil Collins on drums. The tape is worth it just to hear and see this most spectacular rendition of Layla. Never in any other concert has Clapton captured his soloing power more than on this version of Layla. Other songs include the requisite "Crossroads" which he starts off the concert with. But don't get too excited, it's a slow version folks! He never did like the cream version much. "Sunshine of your love," & "White Room" are also on there for the cream junkies. Then he performs a selection from the August album which happens to show off EC's finesse in soloing like the blues God that he is. A must get. Now, how do we get it?
