Eric Clapton, who had not released a live album since 1980, had several good reasons to release one in the

early '90s. For one thing, his spare backup band of keyboardist Greg Phillinganes, bassist Nathan East, and

drummer Steve Ferrone was his best live unit ever, and its powerful live versions of Cream classics like

"White Room" and "Sunshine of Your Love" deserved to be documented. For another, since 1987 Clapton had

been playing an annual series of concerts at the Royal Albert Hall in London, putting together various

special shows (blues nights, orchestral nights, etc.). 24 Nights, a double album, was culled from two years

of such shows, 1990 and 1991, and it demonstrated the breadth of Clapton's work, from his hot regular band

to assemblages of bluesmen like Buddy Guy and Robert Cray to examples of his soundtrack work with an

orchestra led by Michael Kamen. The result was an album that came across as a lavishly constructed

retrospective and a testament to Clapton's musical stature. But it made little impact upon release (though

it quickly went gold), perhaps because events overcame it -- three months later, Clapton's elegy for his

baby son, "Tears in Heaven," was all over the radio, and a few months after that he was redefining himself

on MTV Unplugged -- a live show as austere as 24 Nights was grand. Still, it would be hard to find a more

thorough demonstration of Clapton's abilities than the one presented here.
