  I'm not saying this is correct, but the book "SLOWHAND - The Life and
Music of Eric Clapton" states the Rainbow Concert(s) were at the Rainbow
Theater in London on January 13 at 6:30 and 8:30pm. Both concerts were
recorded by the Ronnie Lane mobile studio and an album released in September
1973. For what it's worth.....
