Eric Clapton's second excavation master from the UK-based heavyweight Taper, who is renowned as an authority on the sound source, hit the middle of the tour from the 1974 US tour where Clapton made a comeback from a three-year retirement due to drug addiction. It is a "master cassette" that recorded the first half of the performance in Tempe, Arizona on a monaural sound board recording. This soundboard source was recorded as a PA out for the engineer's check at the concert venue, and is the same source that was once released under the Japanese-made paper jacket 1CD title "Smiling Away". However, the heavyweight master this time was just a "master cassette", and one more song of Blues Power, which was not recorded in the existing board, was recorded. However, this Blues Power had "reasons", and for some reason the mixing table engineer fast-forwarded the tape (so-called "curl sound") in the singing part and the after-play part of the guitar. There were 6 places, such as 2:01, 2:49, 2:54, 3:24, 3:33, and 3:44. It is possible that the creators of the existing editions also obtained the master containing this Blues Power, but it is undeniable that they may have dared to cut it after listening to this condition. It was a song that was so damaged. However, this time, the engineer who has a good reputation for adjusting and compensating the master due to the difficulties of many artists showed "magical skill" again. The tempo did not go out of order, and the damage was small at 2:01. By the detailed work of fading, it was restored to a state where it could be heard with almost no stress. The Blues Power that was actually being played. Clapton here was also showing off a sharp play. I can assure you that just listening to this song is worth it. Regarding this sound source, although it is a master version, it was difficult to understand the clear difference (improvement) in sound quality from the existing board, but it covers multiple places that seemed to exist in all the leaked masters of the day. All the noise was mitigated by the engineer. Therefore, it is clear that it is much easier to listen to than the existing board. Speaking of the result of the stage on this day, there are many mistakes because Clapton himself was quite intoxicated, and the play quality of the performance is a little low even in this tour, but only Have You Ever Loved A Woman is , The tempo changes slowly in the middle, starting with shuffle, and in the second half it is a rare version of 14 minutes where a twin lead guitar battle with second guitar George Terry and sparks is developed. This take is also worth listening to.
