Has anyone heard the previously unreleased E.C. cut(s) on The Last Waltz
reissue yet? Has it been delayed?
RE: TELL THE TRUTH / ROLL IT OVER. -- I have long suspected it was withdrawn
as a single because some record co. suit actually listened to the words of
Roll It Over.
>>Note: Soon Withdrawn. Not the smartest move to promote Eric's first solo
lp. One wonders if contractual agreements called for the pulling of this
single. Harrison is with Capital/Apple and Mason with Blue Thumb.<<

If it was my position to even get a chance to bend Clapton's ear, the
first thing I would tell him is "Eric, one of the biggest problems of
your recent releases is the fact, as I see it, of your being exploited,
and over produced to fill all the nitches, you have been lead down a
path to be everyones favorite over one song or another. Fire me. Fire
the rest of the hanger's on. You have it in your heart. As a
recovering addict-alcoholic, you're probably a little unsure of your
self, and feel comfortable with the guidance. I know the feeling. You
need musical guidance like Professor Longhair needed guidance. Fess
needed someone to show him how to make money. He didn't need anyone to
lead him down the path to make music. You don't either. In the
interview portions of the "Nothin But the Blues" film by Scorcese, you
verbalized how important that music was to you for 30+ years. Maybe in
the 8 years since you did that CD and toour, your feeling about doing
that type of CD may not give you the same drive. Also, this collective
"we" somehow took the liberty of arranging your life/artistry. Perhaps
now is not the time to embark on another production. In closing, do
what is in your heart, not what others project upon you. Trust your
heart. Bonnie Raitt is a perfect example I can think of. After several
recordings with Don Was producing, and a really great band, Bonnie came
from multiple consecutive flops on the charts, and financial flops
someplace, to Grammies and her place in Rock's elite. What did Bonnie
do? She and Don Was parted ways, I believe amicably, she put a new band
together, who I haven't seen in 2 or 3 years, and took her music in a
direction she was comfortable with. Another band you are undoubtedly
familiar with after playing with Duanne some, is the Allman Brothers
Band. In the personel changes of 2000 and 2001 Dickey Betts was gone,
and Warren Haynes came back to the band full time. From what I've seen
and read Warren Haynes is the "leader" of the band onstage. My initial,
and still thought is "why the hell do Butch Trucks, Jaimoe, Gregg
Allman, and even Derek Trucks, and toss in the last member Otiel need a
leader?" IMO, after 30 plus years of being a fan of everyone I
mentioned pretty much, They all know what they want, and they know it
deep in their heart, as I have no doubt you do. Live your Dream, Play
the music that fills your dream, when the time is right, and don't
worry, it will ship Platinum." And like Bob Dylan of late, the fans
remain.

I have performed many of Eric's "spiritual" songs in church services, Nascar
race car driver prayer meetings, and other similar gatherings and have had
tremendous response. When they ask me where they came from and I say Eric
Clapton most people are stunned. Many times the birth of a child brings
spiritual inspiration to a performer so who knows what's in store for the
future?

The Last Waltz movie is in limited release. It's out there to promote The
Band's Soundtrack Remastered 4 cd set (now in the stores) and DVD of the
movie which is set for release on May 7th.
The movie in the theater is a great way to see Eric in the big screen and
in excellent sound, to boot!
At the end of the Last Waltz cd of the love show, Bill Graham thanks
everyone on the show, but Eric (including Ringo, Stephen Stills, Carl Radle
and Ronnie Woods sic).

No EC content, I'm afraid, but I thought it may be of interest to Aussie
readers that Peter Green's Splinter Group has included Australia in its
24-date mini world tour.
Dates: Wed 26 May The Basement, Sydney
Thu 30 May Prince of Wales, Melbourne
Fri 31 May The Corner, Melbourne
Sat. 1 June Metro Theatre, Sydney
I never thought I'd see the day when Green toured out here.
Cheers,
Jon

To those of you who offered me a boot of the 1974 Davenport, Iowa, show:
I have not abandoned you. Life became a bit complicated right after I
wrote that post, and I hope to be getting back to you all soon.
Thanks.
