Comment: First things first. I'm not the only one who ever saw Clapton, but I've seen a lot of concerts. I saw this show in New York. He played so long that we left (some had to work the next day) but his guitar playing wasn't good, great or fantastic. It was simply mesmerizing. He played for four hours (from what I could gather). But for a DVD (or live cd) I suppose the artist has to fit some format (like keep each song under 15 minutes) for it to be packaged right for sale. Most live shows are "cut", I'm sure the artist knows they are filming for a recording and things have to be kept tight. "24 Nights" is as close to a live Clapton show you will ever see. The DVD shows him playing. A lot of close up solo work--which , let's face it, is why you go to see Clapton! There are no interviews. There are no shots of the audience, There are no people holding lighters in the air. Contrary to other "reviewers" that bemoan the fact that the dvd is not the same recording as the soundtrack album, I think that is a good thing for the reasons I mentioned. If you want a good sound, get the CD recording I guess, but if you want to see what a Clapton show is (or was) like, take a look here! It is really pretty close! Remember, a DVD requires you to SEE! We shouldn't be discussing sound quality here....and another thing.....the sound is not bad...this isn't a bootleg or anything.....maybe just not up to techno-geek requirements. Bytheway, if I could get the real soundtrack to this dvd-(rather than the cd recording), I would. I consider it to be superior to the cd for the solo work. Mind you, I am a guitar player who named his first son after Mr. Clapton so I may be biased (hahaha) but he plays so well, and there is so much to see, in terms of his playing, that I cannot watch the whole show in one sitting. It is like too much chocolate. I have to rest in the middle. Customer Rating: Summary: Eric Clapton: 24 nights Comment: Having read other reviews on this DVD,re picture quality, content and sound I do not think I would purchase the DVD considering the comments. The CD seems to be the one to buy and get quality for sound plus, from this fantastic musician and guitarist. Customer Rating: Summary: Quality shines through Comment: This is a fine recording of Claptons fabled London Albert Hall concerts from the early 90's. Starting with the 4 piece band you get: Running on Faith White Room Sunshine of your Love Then the Blues Band: Watch Yourself Have you ever loved a woman Worried life blues Then the nine piece band: Pretending Bad love Old Love Wonderful Tonight The Orchestra and band: Bell Bottom Blues Hard Times Edge of Darkness This all done very professionally and there are some great moments interspersed with just a few I could have done without. The live version of the 'Edge of Darkness' theme is tremendously powerful, and the Blues set is my favourite overall. This has Jonnie Johnson on Piano and Robert Cray and Buddy Guy on Guitar. Well worth buying overall. Customer Rating: Summary: Eric Clapton Comment: A must for Clapton Fans.. Keeps the beat in your soul jumping and groovin the whole show. FANTASTIC buy this and get rockin Customer Rating: Summary: A Good, Not Great Clapton DVD Comment: I love the songs on this DVD, though I'm not a huge fan of the orchestra section. One thing that does bother me is the 3 seconds between camera cuts. For example, during a 30 second solo, the viewer will jump back between the audience, backup singers, pianist, bassist, and finally Clapton.
