<p class=MsoNormal>Another unofficial DVD release has made its way into the mainstream.
On the outside cover its called Eric Clapton: Budokan 1997<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Looking at the disc, I wondered whether I was being
hoodwinked into buying a computer game. There’s a fantasy wizard, with
the title The Way of the Wizards (WOW 187). No mention of Eric on the disc
label. The only way the sales person was able to find the disc was by comparing
the disc label to a tiny picture of the wizard on the back cover.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The concert date is 27<sup>th</sup> October 1997 and
features: AFL (guitar), Chris Stainton & Joe sample (keyboards), Dave
Bronze (bass), Steve Gadd (drums), Tessa Niles & Katie Kissoon (backing
vocals).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The DVD is 87 minutes long; in NTSC format; 4:3 screen mode;
Digital Dolby only. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Aside from this, it all good i.t.o. both sound and picture
quality. The performance is worthwhile Clapton on the 4<sup>th</sup> last date
of that year’s Far East Tour.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Two songs from the night’s performance are missing on
the DVD: “Broken Hearted” and “Pilgrim”.<o:p></o:p></p>
