Info for Just One Night (Remastered)

The 1970s were a tumultuous period for Eric Clapton, full of personal highs and lows and a remarkable career revival. In the last days of the decade, he played at the famous Budokan Theatre in Tokyo as part of his world tour to support the 1978 album Backless.

Clapton’s band of the time was, typically, full of A-list talent including his fellow guitar maestro Albert Lee, Procol Harum keyboard player and frontman Gary Brooker, and widely-travelled keyboard man Chris Stainton (a veteran of Joe Cocker’s band and the Mad Dogs and Englishmen tour who was a new member of E.C.’s group at this stage). Dave Markee played bass on the tour and Henry Spinetti, whose credits included Paul & Linda McCartney’s Ram, Gerry Rafferty’s City To City, and countless others, played drums.

The track listing for Just One Night (actually a two-night stand at the Budokan, on December 3 and 4) was a time capsule of where “Slowhand” was in his career as he entered the 1980s. “After Midnight” and “Cocaine,” the staples by his great favorite J.J. Cale, underpinned the set, and his pop audience were well catered for with such later 70s hits as “Wonderful Tonight” and “Lay Down Sally.”

"Although Eric Clapton has released a bevy of live albums, none of them have ever quite captured the guitarist's raw energy and dazzling virtuosity. The double live album Just One Night may have gotten closer to that elusive goal than most of its predecessors, but it is still lacking in many ways. The most notable difference between Just One Night and Clapton's other live albums is his backing band. Led by guitarist Albert Lee, the group is a collective of accomplished professionals who have managed to keep some grit in their playing. They help push Clapton along, forcing him to spit out crackling solos throughout the album. However, the performances aren't consistent on Just One Night -- there are plenty of dynamic moments like "Double Trouble" and "Rambling on My Mind," but they are weighed down by pedestrian renditions of songs like "All Our Past Times." Nevertheless, more than any other Clapton live album, Just One Night suggests the guitarist's in-concert potential. It's just too bad that the recording didn't occur on a night when he did fulfill all of that potential." (Stephen Thomas Erlewine, AMG)
