Refer to Post 1. When I started this thread I did envisage that people would post screenshots but I had hoped that they would also write a bit of a post about either the track or album in question or why they had chosen to listen to it. So. EC has always been a favourite even though the “drinking years” produced some non descript stuff compared to his sober output. This was recorded at Royal Albert Hall after the drink (brandy and coke according to some) had been consigned to history. 6 CD Boxset and these 2 CDs “Orchestral” are the pick as far as I am concerned.

♪ Playing Crossroads by Eric Clapton from 24 Nights: Orchestral (2023) (Local • 956kbps VBR, 16bit, 44.1kHz, -6.70dB, FLC)

BTW “Downstairs” is an LMS Group Player comprising a Raspberry Pi 4 connected via USB to a Khadas Tone Board DAC into an Onkyo AVR in Direct mode in my Living Room and a WiiM Pro in my Kitchen with Coax out to a Topping Amp and some B&W in ceiling speakers. LMS provides perfect sync. Control by means of Material skin plugin (screenshot).
 
Taking the words from @d6jg serious a few personal opinions about this album.
Much better than I've feared. The band had long become much too big to be able to only continue. Instead, they chose the path of a high professionalism, played newly formed selected comeback concerts. The frontwoman knows how to do it. No new invention of the wheel but a very good album.

Got the house to myself this morning. ♪ Playing You Got It by Average White Band from Average White Band (1974) (Local • 833kbps VBR, 16bit, 44.1kHz, 3.93dB, FLC)

This is a needledrop from my original vinyl copy bought probably in 74 or 75 in either Epsom, Surrey or Ewell, Surrey. I have a vague leaning towards The Turntable, Ewell where I frequented at around that time on my way home from college. The bus stop was just round the corner.
