[Slowhand] BT Alert: NBTB PBS Recording

[John Mills]

Folks,
This is NOT an offer, unless your name is Zetti, or Mr. Button!
The best quality video source of this film, (in the wild), is available at
The Trader's Den, so you should be able to get an account.

This is a S-VHS capture from the once-only PBS broadcast, however the
beginning is truncated and the extras from the promo tape, including the
magic Driftin', are absent.

BTW, what is "MTS", (the audio source)?

Notes from fishmanj:
This is from my Super VHS Master, recorded from PBS's local outlet in NY,
WNET. Originally aired once on PBS in 1995. This is a heck of a performance
documentary. Lots of good archival footage of the masters. I created the DVD
from the PBS's In the Spotlight Documentary on Eric Claptons 1994 blues
tour...Directed by Martin Scorcese .. the Marty Scorcese.

There is no commercial release of this tape. This was used for a Scorcese
1996 documentary called "Nothing but the Blues". But that was pulled from
circulation ...Clapton felt that Scorcese should have included full
performances of his heros (Muddy, Howlin' Wolf, Lowell Fuson, more on Robert
Johnson) and would not release this to the general public. And this is not
the Traders Den release that just has been torrented there current. The
Fillmore Performances here were from 11/6/94, the night before the more well
known 11/7/94 show and the Traders Den DVD-R release.

This is a virtual tour (and tour de force) of blues and blues guitar from
one of the masters (jf)

It is in LPCM audio format (from a MTS Stereo Broadcast)

Thanks to fishmanj for offering me this show here.
