A NOTE ON THE "24 NIGHTS" RECORDINGS FROM THIS PERIOD AS IT RELATES TO THIS TORRENT:
After some extensive research, I was able to determine the following information, pieced together from several sources: As everyone knows, 24
NIGHTS is a live album and video by Eric Clapton, recorded at The Royal Albert Hall in London, England in 1990 and 1991. It was released on 8
October 1991. The album is a "best of" collection culled from the thirty-two concerts EC did at The Albert Hall in those two years. (Clapton set a new
record by playing a run of twenty-four nights at the Albert Hall between 5 February and 9 March 1991 following an eighteen night run in 1990. It was
during that eighteen night stint that this show was recorded and eventually broadcast.) Clapton reportedly was not satisfied with the 1990 concert
recordings and delayed the release of the album until after the recordings of the 1991 dates. According to http://pages.infinit.net/ronfaith/ec89.htm the
versions of "Running On Faith", "White Room" and "Sunshine Of Your Love" from this concert are the ones that were used for the commercial release
24 NIGHTS. I have also compared these three tracks along with all of the others on 24 NIGHTS to ensure that no official tracks are featured here. As a result of my research, I can firmly state that no other tracks on this torrent appear on the 24 NIGHTS album or on any other official release. Subsequently, those aforementioned official tracks have been removed from this torrent. As a result, I also added some fade-outs and fade-ins to create a smoother transition in spots where those tracks were removed. As per usual with my vinyl transfers, I have included the complete captures of each LP side - with the exception of where official tracks existed - for those who like the full show unedited. Lastly, while the 24 NIGHTS album consisted of several incarnations of Clatpon's band (the trimmed down four piece "quartet", the slightly larger "blues band" and even a full orchestra) this recording is specifically of the final night of the "quartet" incarnation, the members of which are as follows:
THE FOUR PIECE "QUARTET" BAND:
Eric Clapton: Guitar & Vocals
Nathan East: Bass Guitar & Backing Vocals
Greg Phillinganes: Keyboards & Backing Vocals
Steve Ferrone: Drums
