Eric Clapton [1979.10.27 or 29] The Lost Israel Tapes

 

Eric Clapton - The Lost Israel Tapes

Binyanei Ha'OOMA, Jerusalem, Israel

October 27th, or 29th, 1979

Very Good Audience Recording

Encoded: 320 Kbps MP3

1979 was a great performing year or just a so-so year, you GOTTA get this show. You won’t believe your ears at the quality from a tape 28 years old! I was offered the tape and there was only one person to whom I would give it to… ML13. He did all the hard work, toiling for hours, wetting his pants, he couldn’t believe what he was hearing. ML’s wife was so worried about him, she called the ‘nut police’. When they came and heard the tapes, the nut jacket was placed on the wife and they sat down for some of ML13’s famous coffee. According to Mark Roberty’s book, ‘The Complete Chronicle,’ there was only one show in Jerusalem on October 27. There exists a tape claimed to be recorded on October 29 in Jerusalem. During this tour Eric used to play (at least) two concerts in several cities, so it’s not unlikely that he performed two shows in Jerusalem, too. The happening of this October 29 concert is solely based upon the audience recording which, of course, may be originated from the October 27 show, being labeled incorrectly.”
