Live 1986, also known as Eric Clapton & Friends Live 1986 or The Eric Clapton concert is a concert film released by the British rock musician Eric Clapton.[2] It was originally released on VHS in 1987 and later re-released on DVD in 2003.[3] In addition to the video release, a compact disc was released in 2007. The concert was recorded at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham on 15 July 1986.[4]
Music critic Anneke Brüning notes that the release features a shorter DVD track listing than its rival Live at Montreux 1986, but thinks the Live 1986 release is not less interesting.[5] The release reached number two on the British music video charts, compiled by the Official Charts Company.[6] Both the album and video release were certified with a gold certification award in the United Kingdom. Other golden discs were presented to Clapton for outstanding sales figures in Australia, Brazil and Canada.
