Comments:
Pretty good audience recording from 17th row left-hand side from Eric Clapton's brief "Crossroads" North American tour in 1988. This is best-known for featuring Mark Knopfler on rhythm guitar (as well as, of course, vocals on one song during the encore). Setlist-wise, nothing terribly adventurous except that I believe this show contained the last (or at least, one of the last) performances of the "Badge"/"Let It Rain" medley which he'd done every night through the '85-'87 tours.
The recording is fairly well-balanced -- I remember it being REALLY loud -- although unfortunately the vocals are low in the mix (probably a function of being really far to the left -- the vocals must have been concentrated toward the center sections). There are some talkers around us. There are a couple of very small cuts due to tape flips and 30 seconds of "Lay Down Sally" are a little muffled (an usher came in wanting to see our ticket stubs, so my friend ducked the mike down for a moment). Otherwise, it's a good recording that has more "talkers" than I'd like but who are not overly distracting. I'd give it a 7-8 (on a 10-scale) for the era.
