clapton crafted a very special album

this is easily my favorite EC album; I see that many people share my fascination with it. Clapton was very good at crafting great blues songs on acoustic guitar, and I like these songs much better than his electric guitar music (though Cream of Clapton is a strong hits collection). with great songs like "layla" crafted to absolute acoustic perfection, I knew I absolutely had to have this music on cd (I was introduced to it from an old tape my parents had). One song I love learning to play is "layla," it is so good and so improved from the original on here. Other songs like "tears in heaven" and "alberta" are real gems also, and there is not a single weak track on here, which encourages repeat listenings. My respect for Clapton was immeasurable when I first heard this cd. If you don't have it, you need it. no questions.

Eric Clapton Live and Unplugged

The album that brought Eric a basket full of Grammies plus bonafide worldwide recognition for his greatnes and his love of the Blues. The Japanese pressing here has made this an exceptional piece to have especially for the Ericphiles!!!! Its a little expensive but well worth the money in my gracious opinion. You can really tell the difference on an excellant stereo system.

Help ! Cannot put it away for too long !

Gosh ! I've been listening to this CD over and over again

since 199-whatever.

I started listening it somewhat 4 times a day when I was first introduced to this masterpiece.

Sure, the radio always play Layla over and over what causes me to kinda of get sick sometimes, but I cannot help listening it all way to the end, no matter how fed up I am.

And once in a little while here I am caught with it in the player again.

Simply put: extreme blues, soulful, thoughtful... it's an addiction. Get it right away and get hooked.

One of the Best Albums of the '90s

"Unplugged" is Eric Clapton's latter-day masterpiece. It's intimate and moving with a rich, organic sound. And, rather than simply rip through his biggest hits on acoustic guitar, E.C. had the good sense to throw in some lesser-known material and experiment with re-interpreting his past work. "Signe" is a beautiful instrumental, "Alberta" is a swinging blues that's perfectly suited to the stripped-down treatment, and his jazzy reworking of "Layla" stands up well against the landmark original. This album should always be considered one of Clapton's best.

Unplugged ~ Eric Clapton

Eric Clapton is an amazing artist, muisician and lyricist. His vocals are not the best but he then again one can not be great at everything. At the time this album, it was a trend to play unplugged and many artists and bands should not have done this. Clapton manages to do this quite well and shows that he is an accomplished muisician and artists. The book-let is nice if a bit sparse and the photo on the cover looks grainy and not all that well done. This is a nice after work recording to relax and drink some gin and tonic.
