D<\/strong>ELANEY & BONNIE & FRIENDS<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Tour With Eric Clapton (Deluxe Edition) <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

[Rhino Handmade]<\/p>\n

When the American rock and R&B outfit led by husband-and-wife team Delaney and Bonnie Bramlett snagged a slot as opening act on supergroup Blind Faith\u2019s 1969 tour, little did they know they\u2019d also be luring away the headliner\u2019s guitarist. Eric Clapton was so taken with the fun of Delaney & Bonnie\u2019s shows that he tagged along when the troupe went out for a brief English tour later that year, setting aside his superstar status to play as a sideman. The shows yielded a live album, On Tour With Eric Clapton<\/em>, drawn mostly from the Dec. 1 concert at London\u2019s Royal Albert Hall. This four-disc box set presents that full show as well as three others from the same run\u2014including two for which they were joined by another famous guitarist looking for an anonymous good time, a mostly inaudible George Harrison. Each concert finds the group romping through a set that spotlights the Bramletts\u2019 soulful singing more than Clapton\u2019s respectfully tasteful solo turns. The shows\u2019 nearly identical set lists mean On Tour With Eric Clapton (Deluxe Edition)<\/em> can\u2019t help but slide into repetition, but each individual set is a testament to the joyous spirit that drew Clapton to the group in the first place. The moment chronicled here was brief but vital and productive\u2014many of the same players went on to contribute to landmark albums by Clapton, Harrison and Joe Cocker. The Bramletts divorced in 1973, but this package offers a long-awaited closer look at the music that, however briefly, brought them and their friends together.\u00a0 \u2013CN<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
