Ahhh, this explains it!

He then notes that:"A lacklustre live recording circulates later, purporting to be from this show, but is more likely the encore from the previous night when Fleetwood Mac played with Joe Walsh sitting in."(p. 284) Maybe this can explain the rather boring "Encore Jam" that ends my 2 CD copy of Boston Blues. Sounds like a giant meatgrinder - not inspired souls - at work!

I was mistaken, it wasn't "Boston Blues" where I read Clapton was not on the jam, I guess it was the Hjort book that gave me that info. However, there is a fourth guitarist on that recording. It may not be Clapton.
