EC’s Blues Tour of 1994 began at the Montreal Forum (Montreal, Quebec) on October 3 and finished at the Irving Plaza in New York on November 28, which means that the Fillmore shows took place in the later part of the tour. This dvd was recorded during the first of three performances at San Francisco’s Fillmore and it was filmed by Martin Scorsese’s crew in order to help plan out camera moves for the following nights. Shot with a single camera and with (monaural) soundboard audio. The Fillmore is a big venue and is far away from the atmosphere of the small clubs EC would end up playing on this tour, but EC is still far away from sounding tired of performing the same routine. He opens with Motherless Child and his guitar improvisation grows during the show. Just listen to his renditions of old blues tunes like Malted Milk, How Long and It Hurts Me Too and although EC sings and plays his heart out in each song, especially from Third Degree and on wards. On his return to his musical roots Mr Clapton played amazingly well all along this tour and we fans must be extremely happy that this tour was so well documented for posterity. The Fillmore Blues Night is an extraordinaire example of that and is a must have for any collector.
