Eric Johnson & Design

Georgia 1980

Remastered FM broadcast or soundboard.

The exact date/venue is unclear.

Eric was opening for ZZ Top.

There is no record of a gig in Columbus from that tour

although the announcer says that's where it is.

There are two bonus studio tracks also of unknown origin.

Good early E.J. wherever and whenever it was recorded.

Eric Johnson

The Paradise Theater (I kid you not)

a.k.a. Paradise Rock Club

Boston, MA. 

July 7th 1990

A remastered audience recording.

Not bad but the venue is a concrete bunker echo chamber

and there are some splices (tape flips) so don't expect too much.

I enjoyed it, maybe you will?

The acoustic solo (I don't know if the piece has a name)

reminds me very much of Steve Howe.
