Eric Clapton, 24 Nights in London

Twenty years ago, rock and roll hall of famer and influential guitarist Eric Clapton released his compilation of live concert recordings from London's Royal Albert Hall. The 24 Nights album combines songs from 18 concerts in January and February of 1990 and 24 straight concerts in February and March of 1991. The series showcases four different styles of instrumentation as he takes to the stage with his backup crew, as well as artists including Phil Collins, George Harrison, Buddy Guy, Robert Cray and the National Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Michael Kamen. The video release features an extended "Old Love" performance with a 9-piece band—an unprecedented testament to his talent and ability to sell powerful blues emotion.
