Eric Clapton periodically releases live albums and they show the reason why there are few guitarists that walk with him. Sometimes on his studio albums, one loses sight of his extraordinary skills, but he continues to amaze in concert. The passages he reels off in songs like "After Midnight", "Cocaine", "Double Trouble", "Setting Me Up", "Blues Power" and "Rambling On My Mind" are thick, meaty and full of passion and power. Mr. Clapton scored a minor hit with the rollicking live version of Tulsa Time and the album peaked at number two for six weeks.

If you have any doubts about Eric Clapton's greatness on the guitar, then you probably haven't heard this double live album. I think that a lot of younger guitar players don't appreciate Clapton much, simply because they're only familiar with the Clapton who played Sunshine of Your Love or Change the World or whatever. They've never heard THIS Clapton. It's a wonder why he chooses to record songs like In my Father's Eyes when he's capable of playing something like Double Trouble (Probably the highlight of the album). Anyway, the album is pretty consistent, although it has some weaker moments in the 1st CD. (I don't care much for Wonderful Tonight or All Our Past Times) However, Clapton really picks up momentum in the 2nd CD. The 2nd CD is fantastic all the way through... especially Cocaine, Ramblin On my Mind, and the aforementioned Double Trouble. Long story short, if you're a fan of Clapton, or if you just like good guitar music, Just One Night is a no brainer. Buy it.

I agree with all these reviews - this is a 5 star album - but why didn't anyone mention what a great treat it is to hear Clapton and Albert Lee (one of the preeminent country guitarists alive today) going back and forth - check out Further on Down the Road for some great duets - this is my favorite EC album.
Clapton's best! October 13, 1999

Clapton stays true to his reputation as a "bluesman" here, avoiding the pop and straight rock that dominate a lot of his other albums. All of the songs are strong, as he mixes slow blues like "Worried Life Blues" and "Double Trouble" with lively, up-tempo tunes such as "Lay Down Sally" and "Setting Me Up" (with help from Albert Lee). The performance is also highlighted by Chris Stainton on keyboards. If you're looking for Clapton at his blues-rocking best, this is the one. A very underrated album, especially considering his reputation for blues.
Clapton's top stuff!! June 13, 2001

I have gone through 3 tapes of this and just returned here to rebuy the CD. Why is it that some material is timeless and others fizzle out and into oblivion? Either way, there is substance to this mans playing that I haven't heard in but a few other guitar players. To me, this means he is one of the most gifted phrasers in the game. Please, never buy into the concept that speed playing, difficult theory such as in jazz, or even classical guitar, are better forms of music than blues/rock such as Mr. Clapton has mastered. This CD is evidence that being amongst the finest player in any genre makes you worthy of praise. An educated ear will hear the genius of Clapton throughout this CD. I ask you to especially listen closely to "Double Trouble"....not only is his phrasing sublime but there are gaps towards the end where he plays nothing at all. I'm guessing 99% of today's players would force something in those bars.......wouldn't they? Of course they would! Sometimes its the economy of phrasing...what you don't say that is best. Give this CD a chance and catch Eric singing and playing amongst his finest ever.
