This version is f'ing awesome

I like how this version makes it sound he's gone insane 😂

Hey, Eric. Go back and listen to your solos on Crossroads on Wheels of Fire. Then, let’s talk.

Jack is so sexy❤️‍🔥(both then and now)he should be hailed a Sex Symbol of Alternative Rock🔥🎸❤️❤️‍🔥🖤🤘😚

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Roookaj. 🏋️💪🥋🥊😀

Does anyone know where the audio is from? Would live to hear the complete interview....

Two people.... dynamite 😎

And this is the beginning of the story of how Clapton spoke to Tom Dowd, went to see The Allman's play the next day, invited them back to the studio to jam, and "Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs" got cut with Duane. Man I miss those days. The music, the "way" things were, just a simpler, more beautiful time. ✌️

Damn, Jack's tone 🤤🤤

how is the crowd just sitting there calmly as if nothing is happening?

I don't often consider covers being as good as the original recording, but this one is by far superior to the track laid down by the fab four.

"In 1984, The Who called it quits ...". Sure they did 😂

That picture of Duane and Wilson Pickett together brings a smile to my face! There they are striking a blow for integration. Music brings people together!😊

Poor John! Pete's telling him him to turn it up, and Roger's telling him to turn it down!

Best live performance of this song 🔥🔥

Tasty this song will reign forever!

I've heard playing from both Duane and Eric, that absolutely blows the playing on this song completely out of the water.

He was a lead Pete is a rythm

Eric has no qualms cause he knows good is just good. That’s why they could play together without their egos getting involved. RIP Skydog

For years, when I heard "Layla" I thought "Clapton". Now I think of "Sky Dog" Duane Allman.

I saw this 1993, in Stuttgart, I'm still amazed! 😍 🎇

Awesome! I saw him in 1989 and 1990 and he did essentially the same lighting for this song & have been trying to find it in video form ever since...thanks!😊

1993

so funny - my cat, Blue, was totally freaked out by pickett’s singing

For everyone's consideration "Going Down Slow" from "Duane Allman Anthology Volume I - a demo from Brother Duane's scrapped solo album.

Heminevrin was used to combat alcohol withdrawal. It wasn’t prescribed as a sleeping pill.

He's right though. Who can rip like that on an R&B record. Duane Allman was unreal on guitar.

Wonder if it was DA's choice or the producer's (or Pickett's) to have him play Strat?

Duane Allman would have been unstoppable if he didn't get taken to soon 🙏 .... rip ...

Robbie's slide just blows me away

Clapton played on an Aretha Franklin number, you can see her listening to the recording and liking Eric's guitar work. Ahmet Ertegun said to her "I told you, he's the real deal"!

Eric say best r& b guitar playing ever Whoever posted this this picked a great cover song but titled post incorrectly

Crazy thing he was only probably 21 when he played that

I don’t get it. It just sounds like the sound engineer said, just play it out...he’ll sing it out, you play what you want and we’ll fade it out when we hear something we don’t like or when we get to the 3 minute marker. There’s no construction, no build, can’t hear any exceptional technique, it’s just fills and licks. Can’t think why Eric Clapton would single this out, when he had so many others to choose from. To me it’s mystifying, unless we are listening to a different take to the one he has in his mind.

I would love to hear it isolated. Didn't catched it really

No he didn’t say that. He said, it’s the best “on a rnb record.”

John should never be described as a tragic figure. I’d rather go out like Mr Entwistle than any other way.

Danny boy kirwan Would've done better job without fail!!

Kept waiting for "the great solo at the end". Had to listen very hard through all the horrible screaming vocal noise. Why do people think such catterwauling is great singing? It's shit. Wilson Pickett destroyed a previously beautiful song by the Beatles. Just like much of Little Richard's singing, just noisy showing off. Yuk.

Wow I would have to agree with Eric

This is how Meg's drums should sound on all the live shows ever before and during their time together.

Nothing really special, just tired blues riffs over and over, which is probably why Clapton loved it. Terry Kath, The Wrecking Crew's Louie Sheldon, or Lindsey Buckingham, who REALLY knew how to fit a lead guitar part within a song, could have done it better. Listen to the building crescendo of Buckingham's lead guitar in Fleetwood Mac's "The Chain."

All this did, was make me question Clapton's judgement...

If Allman didn't die so young and abruptly he wouldn't be getting about 90% of the weird praise that he gets. Not saying he sucks or anything, but c'mon...

That guitar is trick

Qué??????

John Beverely's playing always reminded me of Entwhistle's

Eric Clapton said the best rock guitar on a R n B recording

What is Clapton talking about? Definitely NOT the "greatest rock solo ever recorded" by a long shot. It's really good but Duane Allman has many more solos that stand out more than this one. It's not on the level of "All Along The Watchtower" by Jimi Hendrix for example, and I'm a huge Duane Allman fan.
