Sobre el álbum
Con Time Pieces Vol. 2: Live in the 70s, de 1983, tenemos una compilación de grabaciones en directo de la década dorada de Eric Clapton. Este trabajo es un complemento perfecto a su primer volumen de grandes éxitos y una oportunidad para disfrutar de su poderío sobre el escenario. El disco recoge actuaciones de diferentes giras de los años 70.
El repertorio es un desfile de clásicos, tanto de su carrera en solitario como de su etapa en Derek and the Dominos. La banda que lo acompaña suena con una energía y una solidez extraordinarias, y el propio artista se lanza a largos y apasionados solos de guitarra.
El disco es un testimonio del increíble músico de blues-rock que era Eric Clapton en directo, mucho más enérgico y visceral que en muchas de sus grabaciones de estudio de la época.
'Time Pieces Vol. 2' es un documento imprescindible para entender la grandeza de uno de los mejores guitarristas de todos los tiempos en su hábitat natural: el escenario.

Letra
Well, I left Oklahoma Driving in a Pontiac, Just about to lose my mind. I was going to Arizona, Maybe on to California Where people all live so fine. My mother calls me lazy, My baby says I'm crazy, But I'm gonna show them all this time 'Cause you know I ain't no fool and I don't need no more damn schoolin'. I was born to just walk the line. Living on Tulsa Time. Living on Tulsa Time. Gonna set my watch back to it 'Cause you know that I've been through it. Living on Tulsa Time. So there I was in Hollywood, Thinking I was doing good, Talking on the telephone line. They don't want me in the movies And nobody sings my songs; My mama says my baby's doing fine. So then I started winking, Then I started thinking That I really had a flash this time. That I had no bussiness leaving, And nobody would be grieving; You see I'm on Tulsa time - Knockin' On Heaven's Door6:27
- If I Don't Be There By Morning4:12
- Rambling On My Mind8:54
- Presence Of The Lord6:05
Letra
I have finally found a way to live Just like I never could before. I know that I don't have much to give, But I can open any door. Everybody knows the secret, Everybody knows the score. I have finally found a way to live In the color of the Lord. I have finally found a place to live Just like I never could before. And I know I don't have much to give, But soon I'll open any door. Everybody knows the secret, Everybody knows the score. I have finally found a place to live In the presence of the Lord. In the presence of the Lord. I have finally found a way to live Just like I never could before. And I know I don't have much to give, But I can open any door. Everybody knows the secret, I said everybody knows the score. I have finally found a way to live In the color of the Lord. In the color of the Lord. - Can't Find My Way Home5:21

Letra
Smile, though your heart is aching Smile, even though it's breaking Though there are clouds in the sky You'll get by... If you smile through your fears and sorrows Smile and maybe tomorrow You'll see the sun come shining through If you just light up your face with gladness Hide every trace of sadness Although a tear may be ever, ever so near That's the time you must keep on trying Smile, what's the use of crying? You'll find life is still worthwhile If you'll just smile, come on and smile If you just smile - Blues Power7:34
Letra
Bet you didn't think I knew how to rock 'n' roll. Oh, I got the boogie-woogie right down in my very soul. There ain't no need for me to be a wallflower, 'Cause now I'm living on blues power. I knew all the time but now I'm gonna let you know: I'm gonna keep on rocking, no matter if it's fast or slow. Ain't gonna stop until the twenty-fifth hour, 'Cause now I'm living on blues power. Repeat First Verse Talking to you, now. The boogie's gonna pull me through. Keep on, keep on, keep on keeping on. Keep on keeping on, keep on keeping on.
