Clapton Chronicles: The Best of Eric Clapton

Frankly, I expected more. This is a CD with pictures; some live shots from the stage and others that look fairly lame. This DVD does not have the same contents as the eponymous CD! That could cause some confusion. Having seen Clapton in concert in 2001, I can attest to the fact that the DVD sounds pretty much like his concerts (or vice versa).

The DVD contains 12 songs with a track that shows movie-style scrolling credits. That's it. They could have easily added more information to the DVD. For example, credits (I mean more than the obligatory ones), musicians and intruments used, background material, interviews, etc.

Another disappointment was that it just has stereo sound. A modern day music DVD must at least have 5.1 surround sound. Just one viewing angle.

This DVD contains 60 minutes of music videos and nothing else. There are not even any credits listing the musicians. I would have loved to see some interviews interspersed in between the videos as well. I gave this a 5 out of 10 because of these disappointments. However, if you are able to watch the DVD for free and are a fan of Eric Clapton's as I am, you will give this a much higher rating.
