Eric Clapton & Friends - The ARMS Benefit Concert
Review by Serena Nguyen
The ARMS Benefit Concert by Eric Clapton & Friends is a live album that captures the energy and passion of a star-studded benefit concert held in 1983 to raise money for the Action Research for Multiple Sclerosis (ARMS) charity. Featuring performances by some of the biggest names in rock and blues, including Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Ronnie Wood, and Joe Cocker, the album showcases the power of collaboration and the enduring appeal of classic rock and blues.
From the opening notes of "Everybody Oughta Make A Change" to the closing strains of "Layla," The ARMS Benefit Concert is a tour de force of guitar virtuosity, soulful vocals, and tight rhythms. Clapton and his friends deliver electrifying versions of classic songs like "Crossroads," "White Room," and "Cocaine," as well as heartfelt renditions of blues standards like "Born Under A Bad Sign" and "Further On Up The Road."
What makes The ARMS Benefit Concert truly special, however, is the sense of camaraderie and shared purpose that permeates the performances. The musicians clearly enjoy playing together, trading riffs and solos with ease and enthusiasm. And the audience responds in kind, cheering and singing along to every song.
