REMARKABLE!!!, November 11, 2002
This review is from: Eric Clapton - One More Car One More Rider (DVD)
If it's true that Eric is finished with touring, then he has left us with one masterpiece to view over and over again. It takes us through his career from Cream, Derek & the Dominoes, and his solo works up to Reptile. I saw two of these concerts on this tour and the DVD captures it as wonderfully as I remember it. Clapton's guitar work is fantatic whether on acoustic or electric. he guitar solos are out of this world especially on electric(even though I missed Ol' Blackie). The sound on DTS is superb. And as always his band is top notch. Actually there are twenty songs on the DVD "Will It Go Round In Circles" a Billy Preston hit is performd by him. As you can tell I'm not a writer but I just had to comment on this DVD and if you like this DVD, buy "Live At Hyde Park".

FANTASTIC!, March 5, 2003
This review is from: Eric Clapton - One More Car One More Rider (DVD)
For too long I have tried to find a concert album/DVD of Eric Clapton that did him justice. Quite frankly, after five or six, going back to the 60's, I was fixing to hang-it-up. Infact, I had stopped looking several years ago, and it was only when I was looking for something else that I stumbled across this gem. With a little old (Layla, Cocaine, Sunshine of Your Love), new (Reptile), some ballads (Tears in Heaven), and standards (Hoochie Coochie Man), this DVD is a great collection of his best work. What's really amazing is that the sounds are so clear, so concise, it's what a concert DVD should be like.
Plus, you get a surprise near the end when Billie Preston sings and dances to "Will it Go Round in Circles." If you buy this and you are disappointed, I'd start questioning whether you really liked Clapton, or just liked saying you liked Clapton.

Clapton just keeps getting better!, December 13, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Eric Clapton - One More Car One More Rider (DVD)
I was lucky enough to attend the show that was filmed and made into this DVD at the Staples Center in LA on August 18, 2001, and it was by far the best concert I've ever been to. I couldn't believe it when I heard that a DVD was coming out of the show that I was actually at, and so I waited patiently until it was released. This DVD is absolutely phenomenal, and Eric Clapton's talents are on full display. He doesn't miss a note all night on guitar, he most definitely knows how to pick a band, and his voice is absolutely great. His voice has not been his claim to fame, but after seeing this concert I was amazed at what a great vocalist he really is, and he is definitely underappreciated in this area. Some of the highlights of this DVD are the opener Key to the Highway (his acoustic playing is ridiculous), My Father's Eyes (great intro), Have you ever loved a woman (just for Billy Preston's B3 organ solo), Wonderful Tonight (for the extended jam at the end), Layla (of course), and the Billy Preston hit Will it go round in Circles, which Billy sings (and dances to!) After watching this DVD, any doubts you might have had about Clapton's abilities will be washed away, and you will be in absolute amazement.

Clapton is STILL God
I saw this 2004 tour in Nashville, Tn. and I just came back from seeing his 2010 tour, and, as the saying goes, like a fine wine......

Decent
Not as good as the concert in Hyde Park. That's still his best DVD. Not bad, just not great.

"Have You Ever Loved A Woman" is worth the price of the whole DVD!
This is a great concert, despite the lack of a powerhouse sideman guitarist (such as Derek Trucks or Doyle Bramhall II as in subsequent tours).

The camera work is good, the sound is great, and Eric Clapton and his band members give you a great musical show. This is a no-risk purchase.
