Eric Clapton - 1978-03-24 - Charlotte, NC (SBD)

In November 1977, Eric Clapton released the album Slowhand, the title taken from his well known nickname. The album was both a critical and commercial success, reaching #2 on the Billboard charts and drawing comparisons to his masterful 461 Ocean Boulevard disc. Slowhand included soon to become Clapton standards such as Cocaine, Lay Down Sally, Wonderful Tonight and The Core.  In early 1978, EC took the road in support of Slowhand,  launching a North American tour on February 1.  This soundboard recording captures him on the 2nd leg of that tour, in Charlotte on March 24, 1978, 41 years ago today. Four of the opening 5 songs are from Slowhand, and later in the set, Cocaine also makes an appearance.  The night closes though with classic Eric, drawing on his days with The Dominos for songs such as Key To The Highway, Layla and Bottle Of Red Wine.  Download this one to get a great mix of EC's newest work and his historic past.
