Eric Clapton’s 1991 ’24 Nights’ live album is getting the expansion make-over.

Eric Clapton holds the record for most shows ever at The Royal Albert Hall London. Eric first played at the iconic London revenue at age 19 in 1964 with The Yardbirds. He has since performed there over 200 times.

In 1990 he set the record for most shows in a row – 18. He broke his own record a year later with 24 shows.

‘24 Nights’ documents the 24 nights Clapton performed at the Royal Albert Hall in 1991. The various nights of the 24 night residency featured different themes with Clapton playing Rock, Blues and Orchestrated on different nights.

Eric’s band and guests included Johnnie Johnson, Jimmie Vaughan, Chuck Leavell, Phil Collins, Robert Cray, Buddy Guy, Albert Collins, Nathan East, Greg Phillinganes, Steve Ferrone, Ray Cooper, and Jerry Portnoy.

For the orchestra nights, Clapton’s nine-piece band was joined by the National Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by legendary composer Michael Kamen.

The box set will include the never before released 30 minute epic ‘Concerto for Guitar’.
