Notes
- Springfield 1975 sounds crisper than the others and comes directly from the master cassette and remastered by Steve Hopkins. According to the label, “the depth to the sound quality comparable to more contemporary digital recordings.”
- The tape begins with the mc’s introduction and two full minutes of tuning follows before they rip into “Layla” which segues directly into the slower and more stately “Bell Bottom Blues.” An eight minute version of “Key To The Highway” follows with very delicate guitar riffing by Clapton and Terry throughout the improvisation in the middle. There is a a short delay and Clapton says, “if you just hold on a second as we repair our drum kit.” Resuming after a while, Clapton begins playing a Carl Perkins style guitar riff and the band join in and follow with a nine minute long instrumental improvisation. Somewhere in the middle they switch from the Perkins to a heavier, Black Sabbath style riff and although it isn’t a brilliant piece it is fun hearing such extensive open ended jamming.
