Eric Clapton: Live Now

About This Movie

So, 'Eric Clapton: Live Now' captures this raw, electric vibe from a concert back in '85. Shot on 35mm, you really get that grainy texture that adds to the atmosphere—feels almost intimate. Clapton's guitar work is front and center, with a pacing that ebbs and flows nicely, keeping you engaged without overstaying its welcome. The performance itself is a deep dive into Clapton's artistry, showcasing not just his talent but also the energy of the crowd. It's distinctly a product of its time, and you can almost feel the pulse of '80s rock in the air as you watch.

This concert film has had a bit of a mixed release history, with various home video formats popping up over the years, but it's not exactly flooding the market. Collectors seem to appreciate the authenticity of the 35mm film, which isn’t something you see a lot. While not incredibly scarce, finding a good condition copy can be a bit tricky, and there's definitely a niche interest in Clapton's live performances from this era.
