Think of Unplugged, and the one artist who immediately springs to mind is Eric Clapton, if only for the asounding version of Layla on this album. Clapton has turned his howling, screaming guitar classic into something smooth and mellow, something which not many people could have pulled off. Another Clapton classic, Tears in Heaven is really brought to life on this album. The tone of his voice and the look on his face on the DVD make the origin of this song painfully clear to any who had forgotten. Good as Clapton is, this album would be nothing without his co-performers, notably Andy Fairweather-Lowe and Chuck Lovell, both of whom gain recognition from Clapton actually on the album. As DVDs go, this is nothing special. The 5.1 surround version is little more than a gimmick, and the accurate rear placing of the audience only serves to annoy after a while. Fortunately, this double sided disc happens to include a normal stereo version on the other side. Either the CD or the DVD will be a welcome addition to nearly anybody's music collection. Well worth it.
