This release captures the live performance from February 25, 2011, at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, BC, Canada—the first North American concert of Eric Clapton's 2011 world tour. Following the Asian leg of the tour and a performance in South Korea, this marked his first Canadian show of the year. Perhaps due to the proximity to the U.S., Eric’s energy seems naturally heightened; overall, the concert delivers a powerful performance from both him and the band. While there are no major changes to the setlist compared to the Asian shows, Eric’s guitar solos in this performance stand out for their exceptional sharpness. The audio is an audience recording featuring excellent balance and tone control; it is clear, crisp, and offers an immersive atmosphere that makes for a very enjoyable listening experience. A highlight for collectors is the inclusion of the full encore break, which lasts a remarkable 3 minutes and 20 seconds.
