One Of my favorite live albums from any artist. Apr 20, 2009 I am a big Eric Clapton Fan. So, this may be a bit bias, to some degree. But, I believe this is one of, if not the best Clapton live albums out there. Depending on your taste, you may prefer blues playing Clapton, or pop music Clapton. I fall into somewhere in the middle. Where I really enjoy the guitar virtuosity of Clapton playing the blues. But, I also like his more pop friendly songs that do also happen to have great guitar playing as well. On this album in particular, Clapton melds the two, and adds some root laiden country, and folk music as well as his pop, and blues standards. The result is a very listen-able album that changes up the music enough that you don't want to skip song to song. Highlights for me is "Tulsa Time," "Lay Down Sally," "After Midnight," "Setting Me Up," "Blues Power," and an awesome version of "Cocaine." I think if you look at this album as not a Clapton effort, but as just music to enjoy, you may finding yourself enjoying music you really didn't think you liked much. I found this out with the more country-esqed songs. This is a very enjoyable album that would be a great road trip CD's to take with you. And, in my opinion, Clapton's overall best live album to date.
Just One Night (1980) Oct 24, 2008 Eric Clapton's Just One Night is a classic live album. This is not one of those greatest hits live albums. This is just Clapton rocking out and kicking butt on the guitar. The whole album is great! I saw where a couple of people gripped about Wonderful Tonight being on the album, I think it's a great song. All the songs on Just One Night are great. This is a live album that other live albums should be compared too.

Must Have Clapton Feb 25, 2008 I have had this album for for 20 years. I continually come back to it and amazed. For the record, I am a huge Clapton fan. What I love about this album is that it is Clapton in his pure state. Guitar, Amp and occasionally a Wah-Wah pedal. It's a good mix of his blues and country tunes. For me, it is a must have, one I would take to the moon with me. The version of Double Trouble is phenomenal, and one of the best representations of Eric's blues virtuosity.
Wow you got to hear this! Jul 04, 2007 This is a great CD. This has Eric Clapton's last great guitar solo.
After this concert he recorded several good songs but he has NEVER
been this good again (so far).
27 Years Later May 15, 2007 I've got this album on my mp3 player, and everytime a track comes on I'm back in my vinyl days.
A mixture of Blues and Rock with Clapton regular Chris Stainton on Keyboards and Albert Lee on Guitar/Keyboards/Vocals.
From the first track Tulsa Time you know you're in for a good time. This is a proper live album, no overdubs, no backing tapes just 5 guys and great music.
Recorded in 1979 in Japan, neccessarily the sound quality isn't as polished as some might expect these days. Personally I prefer some rough edges and this double album gives it to you raw.
Great stuff.
