A Concert By The Lake [Blu-ray] [2010]

Product Information

A version of the classic R&B group The Drifters turns up to perform a pair of songs. "Stand By Me" is, of course, a perennial classic Ben E. King hit that wasn't a Drifters release to begin with – let alone having anything to do with this new version of the group. "Under the Boardwalk," which was sung by the late Johnny Moore during his tenure with the group, is also performed. Somewhat amusingly, these new Drifters come out during "I Can't Dance" and dance like Genesis did in the music video. But otherwise, I really don't know why these pretenders were booked for the show. I would've rather seen more from Clapton or pretty much any of the other performers. The two shows at the Rainbow may have proved a false dawn for Clapton, but they were recorded for a live album, released as Eric Clapton’s Rainbow Concert in 1973. The ARIA Report" (PDF).

Dr Meg Patterson: All drugs were banned from the start of the treatment.

In August 1971, a concerned George Harrison convinced him to take part in the Concert For Bangladesh in New York, which he and Ravi Shankar had organised. Pete Townshend: Eric lost two people that he based his whole life on – Jimi Hendrix and Duane Allman– in fairly close succession. So there were a lot of reasons why he wasn’t working. Roger Taylor, Queen's drummer, fronts the group for a short set of Queen songs. I wasn't especially impressed, not being a Queen fan to begin with, but those who are may find this portion of the concert fun. I realize Taylor sang lead occasionally for Queen, but not on the songs he performs here. It's kind of weird when another member of a band fills in for the deceased frontman. I guess it works as a tribute, but the vocals aren't as good as Freddie Mercury's.

The reason for our lateness was that Alice had to let out the waist of the trousers of my white suit, because I had taken to eating so much chocolate of late that I couldn’t get them on. The highlights came from Eric Clapton, whois in fine form for several songs. The highlight for me being a strong reading of "Stormy Monday," featuring jazz great Chris Barber. "Cocaine" is on the of the more predictable inclusions, but also present are "Lay Down Sally,""Reconsider Baby," and "Willie & the Hand Jive." Another excellent segment of the show finds Ringo Starr delivering energetic takes of a couple well known tunes. Starr can do this stuffin his sleep, as "With a Little Help From My Friends" and "Photograph" find their way into every All-Starr tour he's undertaken in the past twenty years. But for anyone who hasn't yet seen him perform them, itshould be a nice treat.

Eric Clapton: Alice’s father had discovered Meg Patterson and her form of acupuncture treatment. And then, for some reason, I just said: “Okay, I’ll give it a try.” And next thing you know, a very big emotional thing happened to me and I started to really want to live again. When you take a lot of heroin for a long time, you cut down on your ability to feel, your sensitivities shut down, you don’t feel emotions. Brüning, Anneke.

Eric Clapton: All that time, though, I was running a cassette machine and playing. I had that to hold on to. At the end of that period, I found I had boxes full of playing, as if there was something struggling to survive. From there, Clapton rattled off some more familiar tunes, including renditions of the Wailers “I Shot the Sheriff” and Cream’s “White Room.”Eric Clapton: I arranged by long-distance phone calls that there’d be something there for me because my heroin habit was going strong. So I fly over and there’s nothing there, and we can’t score. With the exception of a March 19 performance in Bahrain, Clapton has not performed live since last September, when he embarked on a brief tour of the southern United States. The trek made headlines at the time because Clapton, an outspoken critic of COVID-19 vaccines and vaccine mandates,vowed to not to play at venues that required proof of vaccination, though he ultimately reneged on that promise.

Eric Clapton: I came straight off heroin into drinking. It was essential. Woke up most days with a hangover. Alice Ormsby-Gore: I was desperately running around that city trying to score some heroin for Eric. And I remember thinking how stupid it was for me, even then. I did that for him, and for myself, for three years. It was probably childish to be over-protective, but I thought it helped him not to have to face the full horror, himself, of scoring his own heroin supply.

But had he not become a solo star in the Eighties, giving his Genesis bandmate Mike Rutherford the time and incentive to launch the side project Mike and the Mechanics, the song would not exist. It was the second single off their 1985 self-titled debut and it became a big hit all over the world.
