Bobby Whitlock & CoCo Carmel "Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad"

[@Winterfell1066]

Bobby!, CoCo!, Eric Johnson!, David Grissom! What a performance.

[@MikeDiCiero]

The Johnson & Grissom exchange was simply incredibly awesome !!

[@wecandobetter9821]

Ok I know I’m gonna get some pushback but in my humble opinion the line up of Eric Clapton, Bobby Whitlock, Carl Radel and Jim Gordon were the best 4 piece band going.

[@kevinjohnbetts]

Had they toured more extensively, finished that second album and not had so many drug issues then they could have been. As it is I think they're bettered by several line ups, not least a certain little band that consisted of Paul Kossoff, Andy Fraser, Simon Kirke and Paul Rodgers.

[@wecandobetter9821]

@@kevinjohnbetts Free was another great band from that era. One of my favorites also. I see your last name is Betts, just like the last name of my all time favorite band Allman Brothers. All of us who grew up during the 60-70s sure had some really good music to listen to Thanks

[@kevinjohnbetts]

@@wecandobetter9821 I wish I could claim relation to Dickie but I've never been able to find a connection. I like the Allmans but not enough to follow them (I only have a compilation CD and the Fillmore album). They did spawn Gov't Mule who I nearly nominated as another great four piece, at least in their current incarnation.

[@wecandobetter9821]

Keven, I’ve seen Gov’t Mule in Baltimore when Warren first formed the band.

[@wecandobetter9821]

Next time I’m in Texas I hope to see Bobby Whitlock. Although my wife not into music like me she really likes the song It’s to late on the Layla album. Whitlock nails the vocals on that song

[@mikedollinger6132]

Thank You Lord for Bobby Whitlock & His Also Very Talented Wife CoCo Carmel !!!

[@boco1951]

Grissom and Johnson on guitar ain’t bad! Bobby sounds great!

[@azguitar]

Bobby Whitlock is a force of nature, and really carries the energy in this group.

[@BrianCarnevaleB26]

A great day to find some new music! New to me anyway..

[@robmarchese]

Close your eyes and tell yourself this performance is from 1970; not a hard sell. Bobby Whitlock is the man. Love everything he's done and continues to do.

[@marceibel1131]

Thought the same thing.. Like 1970..

[@ollielindsay]

Plus he has a sweet jacket. 🎉

BOBBY WHITLOCK that AMERICAN core that he brings to every gifted musical experience thats what ERIC CLAPTON AND GEORGE HARRISON RECOGNIZED and wanted to be part of GOD BLESS AMERICAN MUSIC

[@tonycope4100]

Lordy! Where is this kind of music today???

[@loilt5091]

Such a soulful, incendiary song! Many, rightfully, reflect on the Allman/Clapton connection, but for myself, Bobby's input gets criminally overlooked...love his work!

[@marielescobar784]

Have been watching his chats on KZbin all Pandemic. Great story telling from he who created so much that we love. Highly recommend for all rocknrollers and music history lovers.

Me too and I agree

[@TheNextlevelProject]

Bobby was great on that album. Wouldn't you have loved to have been in the booth for those sessions!

[@mattbeasley1311]

I just love how in the moment Whitlock is. He's enjoying himself through and through. 5:21 is so genuine. What a musician.

[@ursafan40]

Stephan Bruton, Eric Johnson and David Grissom , on stage at the same time. Guitar players dream

[@taylor-vl1re]

Wow!...1973 I was in my friends college dorm room. " Oh, look, Eric Clapton record, "Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs"... Used to listen to it over and over...The 70's were good times.

[@superbengal907]

Listened to the full album 2 weeks ago and love it. Layla got played so much, never took the time to listen to the album. Can that Tedeschi Trucks for that.

[@Rick-zl3zp]

I can't help feeling proud that the stage was full of Austin musicians, all badass. This is why I live here.

[@lizzielorman2158]

I live in NY State and I wish he would tour up here OMG

[@markzuelch7452]

As a fan who has followed the music and career of Bobby Whitlock for 50 years now, it is almost incredulous to say that he gets better all the time, but he does. There is a tear in his voice when singing the ballads and a closely and carefully though barely restrained roar when the rockers kick out one after the other. Performance and studio credits second to none demonstrate that he is not only a man of his time, but a man for all time when the notes from the organ begin to swell. Thanks for hanging tough Bobby, cause those of us who call themselves you fans have been hanging tough with you. God bless you and Coco.

[@akimmbo]

Great Band Not many singers that one line and you know who it is. That powerful voice of Bobby W the one and only. One hell of a performer AND songwriter. Also, CoCo Carmel, been in love with that woman forever , she has been around and a part of so many great musicians and their albums. They team up now, in later life, It's a blessing for all of us. Hang on to Coco Bobby, if not, I'm comin ' for her 😆🤠

[@1958Putty]

Love the dog on stage!

[@cigarboxgitarren3216]

so much heart and soul in this one. Takes me back to my Young days and the easiness of live back then!

[@jamessummerlin1]

The first time I listened to the full Dominoes album (of course I had heard Layla before), I heard this song and immediately thought "Who is singing this song?" I was blown away by BW's voice and organ. What a legend. Pure soul.

[@marielescobar784]

Check out the videos he's putting on KZbin. Just short chats on music, musicians, sessions, tours...all that stuff. He is a walking rocknroll encyclopedia. And funny, down to earth. You may enjoy? We've been watching all pandemic year...

[@josephvengen9989]

The more I watch this version, the more I like it..... David Grissom has such a great feel for the tune and Eric Johnson compliments him with just the right technical counterplay.... so Layla #1, D&tD's Live version off the double album, and this great cut from Austin. Love ya Bobby and CoCo!

[@doitee52]

Whew....that poor old Hammond B-3 has seen much better days cosmetically but it still sounds sensational under the leadership of Bobby.

[@1958Putty]

Good lord, Eric Johnson is from another planet! God bless DG, I don't think I could muster the courage to solo in the same state as EJ, never mind the same stage. And DG is a monster player.

[@CarnivoreguyScott]

Wow they really brought it ! Grissom for the feel Eric for the technique Coco incorporating the backing vocal & horns and Bobby on the B3 singing and playing it like he wrote it 😂. Just Stellar 👏

[@djcampbell2808]

Awesome thanks 🙏👍 💕 this 💚 Lassie queen n Laddie King n your entire group! Brother n friend Dj

[@jeffjones1056]

The guitar reminds of winter mick Taylor and that’s a huge compliment to say there is no god never listened to Bobby Whitlock or saw secretariat

Bobby Whitlock at 5:41 .... the pure ecstasy of communing with a Hammond B-3 when you got the "chops"!

[@J.A.Hansen]

One of my long time favorite singer and musician.Good to see him well.Great version of Why does love got to be so sad.This song still sounds fresh.Phantastic🎹🎙👌👌👌👌👌

[@ireneruthfox]

Bobby still has it for sure......Great version. Eric & David kill it on guitar.

[@MatthewElDeOrazio]

Tom Howland I'll second that. Lawdy miss clawdy!

[@keiferreefer1]

Father Bob on the keys. What a great band, great song, both a guitarists dream and maybe nightmare, man you gotta be on to play this song, Coco's a force. Bobby was truly an integral part of that classic Layla album, what a lineup, a tight unit, if one fell all fell, they never fell, they sort of just went off I guess, must have been a great time of life for them in hindsite.

[@michaelbrickley2443]

Depends on how you look at it. Eric went off to nurse a worsening drug addiction. The band broke up and the album didn’’t take off till the band was history.

[@derekfarrellmusicontheisleofwi]

Yo ! I was there in 1970 at the Redcar Jazz Club , England A mind blown 16 year old. Rock on Bobby !

[@tarkusmjg]

The bass player is crushing it.

[@dallastoto3189]

Victor Wooten on bass .. the Dudes from another universe

[@tarkusmjg]

My bad, I meant Grissom. LOL Wooten is in my top 5 bass players though.

[@CowabungaSurfaris]

Despite my continual pounding of the pulpit for the Carl Radle/Jim Gordon rhythm section, there are some good bass riffs here. Props to the bassist. And the drummer too. Both trying.... but Jim Gordon's snare and funky popping, along with Carl Radle's smooth groves and incredibe, unique (though very subtle) phrasing, will never be equalled! Not on this song, anyhow.

[@stevekromraj8339]

Soooo Damn Good !!!!!!!!!!!

[@richardnish6469]

Looking back it's amazing how much of Delaney and Bonnie as well as Derek and the Dominos was Bobby Whitlock! When I saw Blind Faith, Eric joined B&D for encores, fantastic.

[@dr.buzzvonjellar8862]

Bobby Whitlock and Eric Clapton sure as hell would be great to see together again. I’d love an acoustic show or a Dominoes reunion. I’m sure Bobby has Jim Keltners phone number. If not, Gianni Russo has it!

[@Hombre944]

Ummm... Jim Keltner?

[@krisscanlon4051]

Yeah do it plus bring in Dave Mason on 2nd guitar vocals. Coco on horns!

[@ctrlyoda4581]

You mean Jim Gordon and he’s in prison still

[@dr.buzzvonjellar8862]

@@ctrlyoda4581 i mean, because Jim Gordon is in prison, a great choice for a Dominos reunion would be the great Jim Keltner.

Have always loved this song. But let’s face it, Clapton’s guitar work “OWNED” this song. Derek and the Dominoes live killed it. 🎸

[@victorarena23]

actually it was duane that smoked this thing

[@thomasminarchickjr.7355]

I disagree. Bobby’s vocals and playing brought a ton of SOUL to that album. His name should be known for this album even more than Duane’s is from it. He co-wrote or wrote like half of the album too. This version rips. He and Coco have a great channel. Check it out
