"Eric Clapton's Rainbow Concert" is an album recorded live at London's Rainbow Theatre on January 13 1973, and released within the year. The concert was organised 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.

A bootleg edition, "Eric Clapton and the Palpitations — The Rainbow Concert, 25th Anniversary Edition", was released by the underground label Empress Valley, four CDs of both concerts on January 13, 1973 (the official releases are a mix of songs from both concerts).

Background

The concert was held at the Rainbow Theatre in Finsbury Park, London, January 13,1973. The venue itself was popular during the 1960s and early 1970s, musicians such as the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull and others performed there. The concert heralded the return of Eric Clapton out of heroin-induced isolation and inactivity with the help of Pete Townshend and others.

The concert was recorded using Ronnie Lane's Mobile Studio.
