Eric Clapton & Jeff Beck "Listen To Jeff, Eric!" Feb 22, 2009 (2009)
Этот тройной живой альбом представляет особый интерес для поклонников Эрика Клаптона и Джеффа Бека. Он включает почти три десятка восхитительных сценических номеров в исполнении этих мастеров в составе своих групп и совместно. Это безусловный раритет, который, разумеется, хотелось бы иметь в виде DVD, но за неимением оного можно пока ограничиться компакт-дисками.

On the second night in Saitama, both Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck
delivered an assured and entertaining show. These are pros and fans can
expect no less. For his set, Jeff Beck added Big Block and Where Were
You while omitting Blue Wind. Clapton included crowd pleasers such as
Key To The Highway, I Shot The Sheriff and Wonderful Tonight while
giving Little Queen Of Spades and Before You Accuse Me a rest. The
setlist for the Clapton-Beck portion remained the same as the first
night.
This is what an enthusiastic Jii Aoi wrote on the Clapton fansite,
whereseric.com: "As if Eric’s presence was a catalyst, Jeff returned to
his blues/soul/R&B roots and found out his alter-ego. He bent, bent
and then bent the strings, something he wouldn’t do as much on his usual
performances; throwing blues licks one after another, blow by blow
indeed. ‘Breathtaking’ is the word that is apt to describe his solos
tonight. No one will ever forget his bulldozing sonic assault in Brown
Bird, the very instant he finished it, Eric called out, ‘Jeff Beck!’ and
the loud cheers erupted from the whole crowd that filled the arena.
Tonight, Jeff was not so much the smart fusion/crossover guitar
virtuoso, as we have recognized him for the last 30 years or so, as a
tough blues-gut rocker that he was in the ’60s a la The Yardbirds and
The Jeff Beck Group. In turn, Eric replied with an aggressive solo in
the next tune, Wee Wee Baby. Oh yeah, together they took us higher!”
