24 Nights by Eric Clapton
24 Nights is a live album by Eric Clapton, recorded at the Royal Albert Hall in London, England, in 1990 and 1991. It was released on October 8, 1991. The album is a "best of" from the 42 concerts Eric Clapton did at the Royal Albert Hall in those two years. Clapton set a new record by playing a run of 24 nights at the London Royal Albert Hall between February 5 and March 9, 1991, following an 18-night run in 1990. Clapton reportedly was not satisfied with the 1990 concert recordings and delayed the release of a CD until after the "24 Nights" of the 1991 dates. These concerts were performed with 4 different instrumental formations, 4-piece, blues, 9-piece and orchestra nights, the last featuring the National Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Michael Kamen.
Whether it’s Big Sean’s provocative punchlines aboard the synthy bounce of “Open Wide” or HAIM’s glistening harmonies on “Pray to God”, <i>Motion</i> has the feel of a VIP pop party. But despite the bustling guest list—which also includes Gwen Stefani and Tinashe—Calvin Harris’ fifth album is more than just a showcase for his imposing contacts book. “Slow Acid” shows his ear for ‘80s-tinged instrumental fire and “Summer” tempers club bombast with the Scotsman’s plaintive vocals.
