Eric Clapton - Masterpieces (Collectors Special Edition) Reviews:
Clapton masterpices 
2009-01-19 - I'm a big fan of Eric Clapton and his music dating from the Yardbirds forward. He's done a tremendous body of work. Unfortunately you won't find much here worth buying. The overall content and quality are pretty poor. Rather than masterpieces this more like the stuff left (for good reason) out of many other DVD's covering his work.
Shallow 
2008-08-03 - Eric Clapton's DVD is very shallow. Most Eric Clapton fans know about his background. If there was more of an in-depth musical biography with Eric Clapton narrating, it could have been a very interesting DVD.
Eric Clapton - Masterpieces
Not that good. 
2008-07-30 - Not a masterpiece. There is much better footage out there.
Don't waste your money.
Master-pieces?
2008-07-05 - I've purchased many concert music DVD's (and other things) from Amazon and am very happy with prices and fast delivery. I've never taken the opportunity to review an item, until I watched this one.
This DVD package contains two, dreadful one-hour documentaries which were horribly pieced-together from various other documentaries. In that regard, the title "Masterpieces (Collectors Special Edition)" makes sense, but there's nothing here close to an Eric Clapton masterpiece. Even if you paid nothing (instead of the high $25 price) and got free shipping, it would still have cost you two hours of your time.
If Eric's guitar playing and singing is what interests you, get his One More Car, One More Rider and Live in Hyde Park dvd's. (You can probably buy both here for the same price as this useless item.) Then, you'll be hearing, seeing, enjoying, real Eric Clapton masterpieces.
