E. C. Was Here es un album en vivo lanzado en 1975 por Eric Clapton.
Después de su recuperación a la adicción a la heroína en 1974 y su siguiente regreso (con el lanzamiento de 461 Ocean Boulevard), la leyenda de la guitarra juntó una banda y salió de gira extensivamente, y este disco en vivo es un souvenir de ese período. A pesar de tener algunas rolitas medio pop como "I Shot the Sheriff," E.C. Was Here, nos hace saber que Clapton siempre será un bluesman. La rola que abre el disco "Have you Ever Loved a Woman", ilustra claramente este hecho de que Clapton tiene un firme agarre en su abilidad para tocar el blues, con muy buenas líneas y riffs. Luego se avienta con una versión corta de "Driftin' Blues" también muy buena, con un Delta blues que es intoxicante. Al lado de estos grandes trabajos blueseros, Clapton nos regala con una sorpresa con dos canciones del periodo con Blind Faith. "Presence of the Lord" y la clásica de Steve Winwood "Can't Find my Way Home" dan un toque con esta gran banda, particularmente su co-vocalista Yvonne Elliman, cuya voz da un toque muy chido a la voz de Clapton en el blues. Bueno aquí se los dejo es un documento musical de esa época 1974-1975, (apenas saliendo de la Prepa) y yo estaba listo para irme a estudiar ingles al gabacho a Washington State por 6 meses, pero bueno, ya saben recordar es vivir...
E. C. Was Here is a live album released in 1975 by Eric Clapton.
Following Eric Clapton's recovery from heroin addition in 1974 and subsequent comeback (announced by 461 Ocean Boulevard), the guitar legend retained his fine band and toured extensively, and this live album is a souvenir of that period. Despite having such pop-oriented hits as "I Shot the Sheriff," E.C. Was Here makes it clear that Clapton was and always would be a blues man. The opening cut, "Have You Ever Loved a Woman," clearly illustrates this, and underlines the fact that Clapton had a firm grasp on his blues guitar ability, with some sterling, emotionally charged and sustained lines and riffs. A short version of "Drifting Blues" also drives the point home, with a lazy, Delta blues feel that is intoxicating. Aside from these standout blues workouts, Clapton provides a surprise with two songs from his Blind Faith period. "Presence of the Lord" and Steve Winwood's classic "Can't Find My Way Home" are given great readings here and highlight Clapton's fine touring band, particularly co-vocalist Yvonne Elliman, whose singing adds a mellifluousness to Clapton's blues vocal inflections. The market was a bit oversaturated with Clapton and Cream reissue products at the time, and this fine record got lost in the shuffle, but it remains an excellent document of the period. ~ Matthew Greenwald, All Music Guide
