ERIC CLAPTON Westwood One "Road To Knebworth" Concert Special # 90-EN Live at The Royal Albert Hall London, UK 24 January 1990 Original Airdate: 14 May 1990 1990 pre-FM Quadruple Vinyl LP Eric Clapton performed an eighteen night run at The Royal Albert Hall starting in January 1990, the longest running residency at the famed Hall up to that point. These concerts were performed with four different instrumental formations, a Four Piece Quartet, a Blues Band featuring Buddy Guy and Robert Cray, a nine piece band and an orchestra, the last featuring the National Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Michael Kamen. He recorded every night with the intention of producing a live album. However, Clapton reportedly was not satisfied with the 1990 concert recordings and therefore delayed the release of the album. Clapton then set a new record by playing a run of twenty-four nights at the Albert Hall between 5 February and 9 March 1991. But It was during that first eighteen night residency in 1990 that this show was recorded and eventually broadcast. Running On Faith, White Room and Sunshine Of Your Love from this concert were ultimately chosen to be used for the commercial release of Eric's live album 24 Nights. Those three songs, along with the remainder of this show, were recorded on 24 January 1990. This concert focuses on the Four Piece Quartet band line-up, the members of which are listed in the credits above.
