Eric Clapton - 1975-04-14 - Brisbane, Australia (SBD)

In 1974, after a 3 year hiatus due to his addiction to heroin, Eric Clapton made a triumphant return to the rock world, releasing the critically acclaimed album, 461 Ocean Boulevard. The album went to number 1 on the Billboard charts, and also yielded EC's first number 1 single, a cover of Bob Marley's I Shot The Sheriff. That single also helped introduce reggae music to a more mainstream audience. Clapton went on tour in support of the album, playing concerts the US, Japan, Germany and England between July and December 1974. Then in April 1975, he embarked on his first ever tour of Australia. I've been fortunate enough to find soundboard recordings of 4 dates from that historic tour in the land down under. Today, I'm posting the first, from Festival Hall in Brisbane on April 14, 1975, 37 years ago today.
