Title: In The Purple Rain

Format: DVD

Note: 
Another release by the Slowhand Archive Project. This release presents a multicamera film of Eric Clapton's last performance at Royal Albert Hall, London, during the 2019 run. 
This show (just like the first show that week) was especially memorable for a very welcome shakeup of the setlist. Electric Layla, Purple Rain and no High Time. What more do you want? Add to that "Pretending" (closer to the original than he did during the 2006 tour), "Tearing" and "Sheriff". Filmed by 3 EC fans from different angles and with two different audio sources available (select your preferred lossless audio stream in your player), this multicam release brings back great memories.

Audio source 1: Camera Panasonic HC-VX980
Audio source 2: Daspyknows 20th row dead center

Due to the multicam sources and edit nature of the project, we have focused on creating the best possible viewing and listening experience based on the different cameras each with different technical specifications. While doing so, we abandoned attempts to be 100% lossless. 
This film is strongly edited and cropped. Colors and contrast levels are adjusted. Some scenes are outstanding. Some scenes are poor. A few scenes are of low resolution, shaky or rather tightly cropped. These were included anyway because the other available sources were poorer, mostly because some other fan obstructed a clear shot. This is a true global fan project, made by EC fans for EC fans. The video has received a revolving text-logo in the lower right corner making life for bootleggers and dishonest copycats, as hard as possible.
