No Eric Clapton participation, but a nice version of the Derek & Dominos' song 'Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad'.

Blurb from the back cover:

As a member of the Original Delaney & Bonnie & Friends, Bobby Whitlock has evolved considerably since that prestigious band disbanded.From D&D, Whitlock (keyborads) along with Carl Radle (bass) and Jim Gordon (drum) joined Eric Clapton to form Derek and The Dominos. Whitlock wrote about half of the material contained on the first Dominos album, Layla, that has since become one of the true classic albums of rock. In addition to his singing and writing ability, Whitlock has lent his talent to numerous sessions including the Rolling Stones, George Harrison and Stephen Stills.

All the songs on this album were written by Bobby Whitlock save "Why does..", co-written with Eirc Clapton,"It's bee.." co-written with Grinderswitch's Dru Lombar and "Brand new.." co-written with Brian Naughton. This album, produced by Brian Hornsby, features a multitude of guitarists including Jimmy Nalls, Rick Hirsch, Dru Lombar, Les Dudek and Larry Howard. Rock Your Sox Of is his second Capricorn album, and it looks like the beginning of a new era for Bobby Whitlock.

CD Now
In the spirit of all-star get-togethers endemic to that part of the '70s, 1976's NO REASON TO CRY became Eric Clapton's recorded version of the Rolling Thunder Tour. Joining Clapton in the studio were Bob Dylan, Ron Wood, Georgie Fame and Band-mates Robbie Robertson, Rick Danko & Richard Manuel (Clapton returned the favor later in the year by appearing in The Last Waltz, the Band's last live show). Clapton's buddies also contributed material, including Dylan's "Sign Language," the Danko/Manuel composition "Beautiful Thing" and Danko's country-flavored "All Our Past Times."
At this point in his solo career, Clapton was taking a more languid and low-key approach towards playing, with more emphasis on presenting songs and less on soloing. Songs such as the wistful "Hello Old Friend" and the aching "Innocent Times," featuring Marcy Levy's gospel-flavored vocals, reflect Slowhand's countryish leanings of the time. Clapton's love of the blues, however, was undiminished, and when he tackles both Otis Rush's "Double Trouble" and Little Walter's "Last Night," he shines despite any stylistic changes.

The large number of guests that appeared on "No Reason To Cry", such as Bob Dylan, Ronnie Wood, Georgie Fame and Robbie Robertson leads me to believe that at least some of them appear on this CD. "No Reason to Cry" sessions features remarkably little new material, with so-called outtakes being limited to a few extra seconds of intro/outro on most tracks. (J.M.)

Tenho Sede is on the CD but not listed on the cover.- JCH.

From the CD: "I had a magnificent birthday party right in the middle of the sessions and we decided to record everything and everybody that came into the studio. There's Billy (Preston) singing a couple of Ray Charles songs with The Band backing him along with Jesse Ed Davis, me, Robbie (Robertson) and Woody (Ron Wood) on guitars. Bob (Dylan) showed up about eight o'clock in the morning and it went on from there." - EC

Opening Act - The Meters
Eric Clapton's guest spot was specially inserted for this show, and then he returned to the stage for the last song and subsequent encore.
Ron Wood had earlier in the year been announced as the new Official Rolling Stones member.
Thus Eric was not auditioning as a potential band member.

N.B.
This is NOT a CD recording.
The title is my own invention (appropriate I think!).
In fact, I've yet to come across a recording of this show.

CD Now
During the late '60s and most of the '70s, The Band were arguably the premier American rock group, combining a host of influences to create a distinctive full-bodied sound. For a primarily Canadian ensemble, their lyrics were pure Americana. With themes ranging from the Civil War to small town fairs, they were set in heartland cornfields and Southern battlefields, and the Band's repertoire came to personify the American people. Eloquent and lyrical, their songs stood apart from the other popular genres of the time. Musically, they were equally inventive, incoporating accordions, organs, mandolins and fiddles. It was all driven by the group's individualized vocals, with harmonies that purposely didn't blend.
THE LAST WALTZ is the recorded document of their 1976 farewell performance. The event was filmed as a documentary by Martin Scorsese, capturing the all-star concert (and Thanksgiving dinner) for posterity. Sort of a rock version of "This Is Your Life," THE LAST WALTZ brought together performers from all phases of the group's career, giving them a chance to pay tribute and join The Band one last time.
There's no doubt that the songs are the centerpiece. All the group's well-worn hits are reprised, but there are some notable standouts. Famed Canadian rocker Ronnie Hawkins, whom the Band backed in their early days as The Hawks, reprises "Who Do You Love." After their tenure with Hawkins, the group went on to accompany Bob Dylan on some of his earliest electric sessions. Dylan returns the favor by performing a strong folk-blues medley beginning and ending with a fiery, rocking version of "Baby Let Me Follow You Down." Muddy Waters gives a lesson in the blues on "Mannish Boy," with the late great Paul Butterfield on harmonica. Eric Clapton offers his own polished version of the blues with a blistering "Further On Up The Road." Emmylou Harris, a highlight in any setting, duets on the gentle waltz "Evangeline." Dr. John's accurate and rousing "Such A Night" brings a bit of Mardi Gras to the proceedings. Joni Mitchell provides another pleasant change of pace, introducing her jazz-inflected sound with "Coyote," and joining in on soulful soaring harmonies with Neil Young on his classic "Helpless." Even Neil Diamond joins in on the fun, on a song he co-wrote with Robbie Robertson.
Although not the last track on the disc, the Dylan-led all-star rendition of the Band/Dylan classic "I Shall Be Released" is the emotional finale of one of the most important records in contemporary music.
