Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

I saw this DVD playing in a local video store that I go to and actually bought the copy right out of their DVD player (it was the only copy they had). This is a spectacular performance from Eric Clapton, and has equally impressive performances by everyone in the band, including Nathan East on bass, and Steve Gadd on drums showing how tasteful and musical a rhythm section can be.The sound on the DVD is outstanding, and you can hear the entire band in crystal clear 5.1 surround. The camera work is also terrific. They don't miss a beat, and show everything I could hope to see from home of this terrific concert. This is the next best thing to being there in the front row. I love music DVD's and can be particular about the way they sound and the way they are shot, and this one is very satisfying on both fronts.The material covered ranges from the classics to his more recent material, and really gives you a feeling of what a prolific and diverse artist he is. Overall, I would highly recommend this DVD to any Clapton fan, or anyone who is interesting in trying him out. He is truly a musical genius and a seasoned professional that has aged very well musically.
