Music DVD Review: Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood - Live From Madison Square Garden - Page 3

The film was directed by Martyn Atkins, the same guy who did the Cream and Crossroads 2007 DVDs, so you know this one is similarly fantastic. The picture and camera work are about as good as it gets. Your two audio options are DTS 5.1 surround and PCM stereo and I'll challenge you to find a complaint about either of these two powerhouse tracks.

Besides the main concert DVD, a second disk full of the following special features is also included:

1. The Road to Madison Square Garden: An exclusive documentary featuring new interviews with Clapton and Winwood, together with rare footage and photographs of Cream, Traffic and Blind Faith.

2. Rambling On My Mind: The final preparation for the three legendary performances highlighted by an acoustic soundcheck performance by Clapton of the Robert Johnson standard "Rambling On My Mind."

3. Bonus Madison Square Garden Performances of "Lowdown," "Kind Hearted Woman" and "Crossroads."
