There have been many live recordings going around, and some compilations, 
including the excellent DVD Vol1. Another compilation that would be 
fantastic (if anybody took the time and effort to compile it) would the "The 
Definitive Version" compilation. By which I mean the "best" live version of 
classic Clapton songs. For example there have been many brilliant live 
versions of Sheriff from recent tours - which one is the best. On the other 
hand, I'm not sure I've ever been completely thrilled with any live solo in 
Layla (in my somewhat limited live bootleg library). Obviously this would be 
a highly subjective list - but it would throw up some interesting 
collections of live performances.
If I was a more avid collector of live EC concerts I would happily do it 
myself, but I have to admit that my collection is patchy at best (I've only 
just got a CD burner and broadband at home, so I'm catching up slowly). 
Anyone fancy to put a compilation of their definitive live versions of EC 
songs? The only thing I'm worried about is not having enough versions of 
Wonderful Tonight to choose from.
