This laid-back, live, intimate session featuring Eric Clapton's bluesy guitar playing is quite enjoyable--if a bit limited in scope. With little lighting and frills and a small group backing him up, Clapton picks up his acoustic guitar and leads the listener down memory lane. Clapton is clearly on his best behavior as he engages in minimal small talk with his audience and lets the music speak for itself. The erstwhile Yardbird and former member of Cream and Blind Faith riffs through some dozen-plus songs including 'Before You Accuse Me,' 'Tears in Heaven,' 'Walkin' Blues,' 'Alberta,' 'San Francisco Bay Blues' (in which Clapton thankfully cuts loose a bit), and his great hits 'Layla' (written for his ex-wife, Patti Boyd Harrison) and 'Old Love,' a standard that garnered big applause. But the simple set and sparse stage can barely contain the energy that fills the arena when Clapton launches into 'Rollin' and Tumblin',' a raucous, rousing bit of blues that Clapton is certainly still up for. This video is primarily for Clapton's most ardent fans, providing some heartfelt, soulful instrumental prowess in addition to an aging British rocker singing the blues as well as a white guy can. --Paula Nechak

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - The Acoustic Eric
I happen to like Blues and especially when a master guitarist like Eric picks up an acoustic guitar and slows everything down to almost ballad tempo. He gently allows the blues in his life to come forth as beautiful music that eveyone can appreciate.
Rating: - maybe eric's greatest video
i owned the old videotape, and this is just stunning musicianship...all of his crew are awesome, and the set list is classic...if you love eric, as so many of us do, this is an essential part of your video archive...
Rating: - Some of the best work by one of the best.

Rating: - EC: a true performer
This is definetely one of the best "At-Home" concert you can watch in your house. Really makes me feel that I'm sitting in a front row. Eric Clapton presents his singing, lead and rythm guitar, etc right in front of cameras. All the songs are great!!!! Hard to pick up the best.
I was first attracted to this CD version. To me, as the editorial review says "how well rock stars and their material can hold up when stripped of elaborate production values". I like big arena concerts and I appreciate ... Read More
Rating: - Spend a seriously relaxed hour with Eric Clapton
Eric Clapton Unplugged is an intimate portrait of the performer and the man. This program was taped shortly after the death of Clapton's 5 year old son, Connor. The touching piece, "Tears in Heaven," is a result of that sad experience. In spite of that, the program is upbeat and enjoyable and boasts a new and well received version of the classic "Layla." I watch this edition of Unplugged regularly: I think of it as comfort food for the ears.
