Summary: A disappointing DVD - but not a total loss
Review: After Clapton Unplugged expectations were high and the recording of the Live at Madison Square show was unable to capture the energy of the artists and the audience, making much of the DVD dull and boring. One of the few highlights for me was the appearance of Bob Dylan toward the end of the show. I am not sure who decided to bring Mary Blige on stage - she has neither class nor talent. Her act does not fit and takes away from an already borderline production. Die hard Clapton fans may want to wait for a big sale on this DVD.

Summary: The Best
Review: As an Eric "junkie", this is Eric at his BEST. Eric looks GREAT and SOUNDS even better. Definitely a collector's item for any EC fan.

Summary: clapton never old
Review: Being a long time clapton fan I feel this is not his best live performance. The production of the concert is ok and sound quality is fair. There seems to be a lack of energy from the band and clapton. David Sanborn seems to be out of pocket in the blues setting, although he is a great jass sax player. Got to give it to Nathan East who always smiles and playes 100%. Keyboard player was new, did not like the solo in OLD LOVE, guess Im spoiled with Chuck and gregg. It was nice to hear live versions of his new stuff. There are some great songs there. This is a must if your a clapton collecter, If you want to see a good concert-unplugged or 24 nights

Summary: EC and Friends
Review: Eric Clapton puts on a great performance during his show taped live at Madison Square Garden, New York City. Invited to sing along, Sheryl Crow, Mary J. Blige, Bob Dylan, and David Sanborn make a great combination. It was among the first DVD's I viewed and without question, is still a favorite. In my opinion, Eric and Sheryl are the perfect duo; they are very moving in "Little Wing". The confindence they portray adds enjoyment to watching this concert, while the cause (sobriety) adds hope. The only disappointment for me, not being able to watch them perform live!

Summary: Uncommon Presentation
Review: I adore Clapton, and own all of his DVD's. I have to rate this one at the bottom of the list, though it is worth the purchase just to get the rare "Little Wing" performance. He uses the same arrangement/approach that the Dominos used, and it is good. After that, I have to agree with the other reviews here that critise the choices of selections from the concert that ended up on the DVD. I would really enjoy seeing the songs that were deleted, rather than the great, but oft repeated warhorses like "Sunshine of Your Love", and yet another "Tears in Heaven." There are just so many wonderful choices in his past repetoire that he NEVER performs now like "Strange Brew", "Forever Man", or "I Am Yours" that would be precious to many of his fans! But to avoid misunderstanding, I must say that what is here is predominantly great. (The only blatant exception being the horror of what is done to the usually poignant "Old Love" by a keyboardist that I have never seen with him before. I "skip" over that song always!) The guests are somewhat unusual, though mostly pleasing. Sheryl Crow is fine, Bob Dylan is excellent, Dave Sanborn is probably good, (I rarely take note of horns), but the Mary Blige section is, ...well, ...unexpected!. Clapton's backing band is mostly the same folks that are usually with him; Andy Fairweather-Low, Steve Gadd, and Nathan East with Katie Kissoon & Tessa Niles. They are always enjoyable to hear. (He later dropped the girls from his 2002 tour, and I missed them on "One More Car"/Rider). I have read that he sometimes determines his song selections according to the capabilities of his backing group. If that is so, then I would appreciate a little variety in the players he recruits - time is moving on, and I would love to hear/see him do some of the afformentioned tunes before he hangs up his new, graphic strat forever!
