Overview
Live, intimate, and raw, Sessions For Robert J is the essential audio/video companion to Eric Clapton's 2004 gold, Top 10 Me And Mr. Johnson, tribute to blues legend Robert Johnson. Filmed during tour rehearsals in London and Dallas plus a Los Angeles hotel room and the Dallas warehouse where Johnson made some of his final recordings, Sessions for Robert J finds Clapton performing all Robert Johnson songs with his touring band, acoustically with Doyle Bramhall II and solo-as well as discussing Johnson and his influence. A performance/documentary DVD with 14 tracks (from which the 11 CD selections are taken), Sessions for Robert J is blues heaven.

00:00:34 I had a friend called Clive
00:01:27 and there is kind of a gap
00:03:39 - What’s up, Bill? - How are you doing?
00:20:51 Everyone in England at that time was trying to be like a Beatle or something.
00:21:44 It was like l’m reading the script for a movie
00:33:14 - Let’s just check "Hellhound." - Okay.
00:34:31 Well done, everybody.
00:35:21 I think it was so much a part of their daily life
00:36:19 You think a more realistic interpretation
00:37:14 And so...
00:48:42 But Robert, we have to think about this was all he did.
00:53:07 It sounds like he’s doing that.
00:57:32 Because it’s "da, da-da da-da," it’s not just one...
01:11:43 he said, "You ought to do Rambling." I said, "l’ve never done it."
01:12:34 I think they all had to go and they had to turn all the lights out
01:13:26 And I didn’t really have... I wasn’t really self-conscious about it
01:18:19 or two guitar players...
01:19:16 or is it necessary to really sit down and completely copy it?"
01:20:21 and yet when you come to try it and do it
01:27:54 - Good question. - What does it feel like
01:28:42 It’s all like a kind of... it’s like being in an accident.
01:29:45 of getting a result from practice
01:37:22 "When You Got a Good Friend"... are you writing it down?
01:38:24 Fantastic.
