Layla\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis release captures Eric Clapton's third tour of Japan, specifically the concert held on September 27, 1977, at the Okayama Prefectural Gymnasium in Okayama. Regarding the 1977 tour, the itinerary omitted Kitakyushu (where he had performed the previous year); consequently, this Okayama show marked the southernmost point of the tour across the Kyushu and Shikoku regions. As he was just 32 years old at the time, the sound is defined by a relentless, high-energy guitar performance that he showcases to the fullest. Every single track is played with immense intensity, allowing the listener to feel the palpable tension in EC's performance. While his 2009 Japan tour featured moments where he smiled and chatted—creating a very relaxed listening experience—this release offers something different: an electrifying, high-tension atmosphere where you can fully appreciate an EC who seems somewhat on edge, leaving the listener breathless. The setlist is packed with highlights, blending hits both old and new from that era. It features an incredibly intense, exhaustive solo on \"Double Trouble,\" as well as a deeply emotional rendition of the classic \"Layla.\" Although it is an audience recording, the sound quality is clear; it appears to have been remastered, with the guitar parts notably emphasized. The overall balance of the recording is superb. It remains consistently stable throughout, with no noticeable fluctuations in quality. You can fully enjoy the relentless, driving guitar work of a 33-year-old Eric Clapton.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PHOENIX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53193783738684,"sku":null,"price":54.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0956\/5801\/7084\/files\/ec19770927.jpg?v=1783462889","url":"https:\/\/worldmusiclover.com\/de\/products\/eric-clapton-slow-hand-japan-tour-1977-okayamaken-taiikukan-2cdr","provider":"WORLD MUSIC LOVER","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
