Sirmoonie, the show is historic for many reasons and also it was released the same year as an official live album by Eric Clapton... "Eric Clapton's Rainbow Concert"
The concert was organized by Pete Townshend and marked Eric Clapton's comeback after the 1971 Concert for Bangladesh. In the year after the Rainbow Concert, Clapton recovered from his heroin addiction and recorded 461 Ocean Boulevard. This concert is the first live performance where Clapton used his famous Stratocaster guitar "Blackie".
A remastered expanded edition of the album was released on January 13, 1995, the 22nd anniversary of the original concert.
It's an all star live show, check who played:
Ronnie Wood - guitar & vocals
Eric Clapton - lead guitar & vocals
Pete Townshend - guitar & vocals
Ric Grech - bass guitar
