Geetarz Comments:

This show dates to just about the midpoint of the D & D American tour, and the day after the appearance on the "Johnny Cash" TV show in Nashville, Tennessee.

The souce material is poor, with lots of hiss. There is a private circulation of this recording among collectors (see http://www.geetarz.org/reviews/clapton/1970-11-06-dallas.htm), but upon comparison with headphones it seems to be of the same generation as that used for the ECDR source and is not an improvement, with the only minor differences being in how and exactly where the tracks are split.

As has been written before about some D & D recordings, any limitations of the source material are overcome by the quality of the performance, and this will certainly be enjoyed by those who appreciate true musianship and can overlook those flaws.

There are a couple of heavily "remastered" versions of this in circulation, and with this sort of thing it becomes a matter of personal preference which version one will like. So, for those who prefer their recordings untampered, and in the best (currently) available quality, here ya go!

Lineage:

ECDR > EAC v. 0.99 Prebeta 5 (Secure, Offset Correct) > FLAC

Enjoy!
