Summary: Unplugged - plug it in!
Review: A must have for fans and non-fans alike! The music is phenomenal, classic Clapton. For you guitar players out there, this is an exceptional learning tool. Trying to figure out those intricate licks that the sheet music leaves out? Watch the DVD in slow motion, see all the hand positions and picking,again and again as needed until you master these songs! An excellent addition to any guitar players list. 3 thumbs up!

Summary: THE ORIGINAL AND STILL THE BEST!!
Review: Back in 1997, when dvds were introduced into the US market, "Eric Clapton - Unplugged" was one of the first ones on the shelves. And, there can be no doubt why.
This is a gem, among gems. Knowing, the immense notoriety this performance has gained, it's funny to think EC originally didn't want to release it, because he thought that his fans would not take to it. He said that he always enjoyed playing these classic, blues numbers on his acoustic guitars at home, but never realized that other people would find them of interest. Well, being that this is probably, the most popular 'Unplugged' performance from the series, I guess he was wrong. In fact, this is what inspired him to take on his next project, "From The Cradle".
As good as this dvd is, I hope that Warner/Reprise will see fit to release an updated edition, which adds a DTS track, as well as extras, that include the MTV interview and unreleased tracks, such as, "My Father's Eyes" and "Circus". Both of those tracks were reworked and released on "Pilgrim", but the original, raw, acoustic versions are priceless!
Incidentally, I was wondering if anyone else noticed they reversed the names of his backup singers in the band section?? Yes, Tessa is the WHITE gal!! Duh!! I hope, for their sake, they corrected this on later editions!
Anyway, go out and get this one. You won't be sorry!

Summary: Good, but Clapton's songs must be on an electric guitar.
Review: Clapton gives a great performance, but many great songs were missing such as: "The Crossroads" and "The Sunshine of Your Love" and "The White Room". Also, the greatest Clapton song ever, "Layla" is not as good on an accoustic guitar rather than an electric. Clapton also swayed towards the blues rather than typical rock.

Summary: Excellent!!!
Review: EC is simply great. This is music in its purist form. Eric and his Accoustic, Good stuff! I have watched this DVD over and over and it never gets old. He is a musical genius. The sound and video are excellent. If you're a fan of EC or the Blues, this DVD will not disappoint you.

Summary: Very educational
Review: I got this DVD for educational purposes. Even though I really love EC's unplugged album, it's so much better watching him perform. Where can I find a tabs for the unplugged album exactly as he plays on this DVD? The tabs I have supposedly is the accurate transcription...the Hal Leonard one (not the easy one). But it's different from the way he plays on the DVD. I play the DVD in slow motion and try to see how he does it. It's great. They do show a lot of close up shots of him playing, but I wish there were more. And I want to hear him playing solo more :) Not a duet and not with piano accompaniments etc.. The quality isn't that great, akin to that of a video tape. Minus 1 star for the quality.
