In March 1975, Clapton had released the album There’s One in Every Crowd, the follow up to his chart topping disc 461 Ocean Boulevard. Unfortunately, EC’s growing dependence on alcohol made recording the album difficult. As a result, There’s One in Every Crowd didn’t match the quality of its predecessor. The disc only rose to #21 in the Billboard album charts and failed to yield any singles that charted. Despite the album’s lack of commercial success, EC spent most of the year on the road in support of it. He spent April in Australia, his first trip to the Land Down Under, and October in Japan, in between touring the US from June to August. This soundboard recording captures EC in Norfolkon August 30, 1975, 38 years ago today, in Norfolk, VA.

At the time, I thought 'Crowd' was the worst album my eighteen-year-old ears had ever heard.
And while I can now say I've heard worse, I still rate it as one of the worst high-profile LPs ever.
As a Clapton boot expert, where (or how) do you rate this one?
lets just say its an interesting boot. EC, ike at many shows in the 1970's is very laid back and possibly drunk. That said, the set list is wonderful. Not a must have, but i think you'll find it enjoyable.
