Eric Clapton 24 Nights 1990 1991

24 Nights is an Eric Clapton live album recorded during long stints at the Royal Albert Hall, London in 1990 and 1991. It includes five songs from the Journeyman album he was promoting at the time.

During these concerts Clapton was experimenting with different formats of backing band – 4-piece, blues, 9-piece and orchestra nights and all of these are captured on 24 Nights.

A well structured play list stops the album sounding like a messy mixture as each format is grouped together.

While Eric Clapton played old and new songs, i see this as one of his albums returning to the blues rather than classic rock or blues rock.

What would be really interesting is to see 24 Nights extended to give us full concerts by the four piece band, the blues band, the nine piece band and with the orchestra.
