Recorded this HD gig on sky arts channel last week - I have never been a big Clapton fan, always considering his best work to be with Cream (imo), so I was interested in watching this long-overdue re-union concert to see if they could still perform as that ultimate power trio.
The answer is "hell yes!" What a fantastic series of gigs. The virtuoso playing was brilliant yet not over-the-top, Baker, Bruce and Clapton seemed totally relaxed in each other's company and looked like they were having a ball, the set-list was well judged / paced with the running time being exactly right and the recording (audio & video) of the whole event superb. Think this will remain on my hard drive for some considerable time.
