Eric Clapton - The Lady In The Balcony: Lockdown Sessions (2021): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 2021, Eric Clapton - The Lady In The Balcony: Lockdown Sessions is a music film directed by David Barnard, running about 77 minutes.

What it’s about. The project was initiated as the result of the forced cancellation of Eric’s concerts scheduled for May 2021 at the Royal Albert Hall due to the continued disruption caused by the pandemic. Looking for a viable alternative and hoping to keep his options open, he reconvened with his band to the English countryside and staged a concert in the presence of only the participants themselves while letting the cameras roll. (Eric’s wife, Melia, the sole outside observer inspired the Sessions title.) The mostly acoustic set was envisioned to be like an "Eric Clapton Unplugged II," but not quite, as three songs are played with electric guitars. The result became far more than simply a sequence of greatest hits. Rather, it’s one of the most intimate and authentic performances of his entire career, an offering flush with real insight into the make-up of his indelible catalogue.

Who’s in it. Eric Clapton - The Lady In The Balcony: Lockdown Sessions stars Eric Clapton as Guitars and Vocals, Chris Stainton as Keyboards, Nathan East as Bass and Vocals and Steve Gadd.
