デレク・アンド・ドミノス一度きりのワールド・ツアーから、ハイライトとも言えるフィルモア・イースト公演がLPリリース!!

ブラインド・フェイス解散後に、デラニー&ボニーと活動中に知り合った、ボビー・ウィットロック(KBDS)、カール・レイドル(B)、ジム・ゴードン(DS)と共に結成したバンド、デレク・アンド・ザ・ドミノスが、『いとしのレイラ』リリースに伴い1970年6月14日のロンドン公演からスタートしたワールド・ツアー。イギリス～フランス～アメリカを廻る 71公演中、最も熱狂を生み出したとされるニューヨークはフィルモア・イーストでのライブを抜粋収録。

デレク・アンド・ザ・ドミノスのコンサートを体感できる貴重なアーカイヴとなっており、このバンドの熱いライヴ・パフォーマンスが伝わる素晴らしい内容。そして『イン・コンサート』では聴けない曲などもこのライヴ・アーカイヴでは聴けるだけに短命に終わりながらもエリック・クラプトンのミュージシャンとしての歴史の中でのライヴ・クロニクルとして極めて貴重なアーカイヴです!!

In his liner notes, Anthony DeCurtis calls Live at the Fillmore "a digitally remixed and remastered version of the 1973 Derek and the Dominos double album In Concert, with five previously unreleased performances and two tracks that have only appeared on the four-CD Clapton retrospective, Crossroads." But this does not adequately describe the album. Live at the Fillmore is not exactly an expanded version of In Concert; it is a different album culled from the same concerts that were used to compile the earlier album. Live at the Fillmore contains six of the nine recordings originally released on In Concert, and three of its five previously unreleased performances are different recordings of songs also featured on In Concert -- "Why Does Love Got to Be So Sad?," "Tell the Truth," and "Let It Rain." The other two, "Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out" and "Little Wing," have not been heard before in any concert version. Even when the same recordings are used on Live at the Fillmore as on In Concert, they have, as noted, been remixed and, as not noted, re-edited. In either form, Derek and the Dominos' October 1970 stand at the Fillmore East, a part of the group's only U.S. tour, finds them a looser aggregation than they seemed to be in the studio making their only album, Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs. A trio backing Eric Clapton, the Dominos leave the guitarist considerable room to solo on extended numbers, five of which run over ten minutes each. Clapton doesn't show consistent invention, but his playing is always directed, and he plays more blues than you can hear on any other Clapton live recording. ~ William Ruhlmann
