This release features a soundboard (SBD) recording of the concert held on November 12, 1976, at the Convention Center in San Antonio, Texas, during the US tour supporting Eric Clapton's album *No Reason to Cry*. That album—a "laid-back" record that marked the culmination of his recovery from drug addiction—was a major hit in the late 70s. Clearly satisfied with the album's quality, Eric performed four tracks from the new release—"Hello Old Friend," "Sign Language," "All Our Past Times," and "Double Trouble"—and played the concert in a very relaxed atmosphere. The driving guitar work and impassioned vocals during the latter half of "Double Trouble" are magnificent and truly give you goosebumps; while the song became a live staple in the 2000s, this recording captures a performance from right after the song's release, allowing you to fully appreciate Eric playing with his heart and soul. Although the tempo feels slightly faster than the 2000s versions, it offers a fresh feel without diminishing the brilliance of the performance. Overall, it is an excellent live recording that captures a great period in the late 70s. Thanks to the soundboard source, the audio quality remains stable and consistent throughout.
