Comments by DGB : 

Sitting in section 119 1st block lower level left hand side of the stage. Not expecting much from this concert. I have seen Eric Clapton over 80 times since the 80s & the last few shows in Vancouver with the exception of his last show in 2007 were very much what I describe as 'autopilot' shows. In fact I had to this point lost a lot of interest in Eric Clapton in general since the mid 90s. What a surprise I had in store. 
From the 1st note that Eric played I knew that I was in for a great concert experience. 
Eric's playing & singing throughout the whole show was right up there with the best shows that I have seen from him. If the concert had finished after the first 6 electric numbers I would have gone home very happy. His solo in particular on 'Old Love' was outstanding. 
There was lots of energy coming from Eric including lots of lifting & bending of his legs during solos which I cannot remember seeing for a long time. There was no question that on this night Eric came out to play & delivered the goods. This concert is in my opinion ranked right up there with one of the best Eric Clapton shows that I have seen. 
Great sound from where I was sitting from. Came out with an excellent recording in my opinion.

Comments by Boguspomp :

This is the first of many Clapton shows, recorded by DGB, that will be posted here. This show has the number DGB-EC 01. All the other shows will follow, not necessarily in order of their recording dates. It is a privilige to work on these shows and I am grateful, that DGB entrusted me again with his recordings.
Our last collaboration created 6 shows, KAR001 - KAR006, including Neil Young, Buddy Guy, Santana...That series will continue too.
For the moment, let's focus on Eric Clapton.
Enjoy the ride.
