One of the best rock songs ever. The passion within it… Glad you enjoyed it so much, Ace.

Eric Clapton bought the painting on the cover of the album & gave it to George Harrison because it reminded him of George’s wife Patty Boyd. George gave the painting to Patty. When Eric made this album Layla & other love songs, he used the painting because he was in love with Patty, who was still married to Harrison,even though they were best friends. Patty just recently sold the painting at auction for 2.5 million

A simply brilliant ROCK Classic............a master class in what it is supposed to be ! :)

[@RonaldCanfield-m2r]

"Bell Bottom Blues" from the same album!

[@SK-lk3iu]

Yes! Also love the rocker "Why Does Love Have to be So Sad?", and others....fantastic album.

[@darylabbott2032]

They played this in the movie Goodfellows when they were finding all the men Robert Deniro knocked off!

[@tigerpinky]

great music!

[@davidburton9136]

You're right, it's not a violin. It's the late great Duane Allman playing slide guitar.

[@BridgetBailey47]

Love your reaction! Eric Clapton wrote this for George Harrison’s wife Patty. She left George, who never treated her well, for Eric. He also treated her terribly, both cheated on her etc. That’s what musicians were notorious for. Great song though!! 😍

[@ericanderson8886]

Guitar legends Duane Allman (on the slide guitar, not a violin) and Eric Clapton with a song Eric wrote about George Harrisons wife Pattie Boyd. He later married her.

[@morenaselice5288]

Have you reacted to Billy Idol's "Rebel Yell" yet?

[@debjorgo]

I've never heard that glitch before. I heard it here before you mentioned it. I'm pretty sure it's not in the recording.

[@svtinker]

Lynyrd Skynyrd Freebird at Oakland Coluseum makes the same sound on slide guitar.

[@debjorgo]

@@svtinker I think you may have commented on the wrong post. I'm not commenting on the guitar sound here. I'm talking about the drum stutter at about 7:30 in this video.

[@mikelundquist4596]

Glitch probably happened when it was downloaded or ripped.

[@DrStrangelove3891]

Eric Clapton on vocals and lead guitar, Duane Allman on slide guitar (not a violin 😏) and Jim Gordon on drums and piano.

[@SG-js2qn]

To me, this is one of THE classic songs to play if a person asks, "What is rock music?" Hall of Fame. Duane Allman, of the Allman Brothers Band, apparently played the screechier guitar parts. He's credited in the development of Southern Rock, in the particular the use of slide guitar. A couple of years after this recording, Duane died in a motorcycle crash.

[@RandoReport]

George Harrison wrote "Something" for his wife, Pattie Boyd. Eric Clapton wrote "Layla" for Pattie Boyd, his best friend George Harrison's wife, to convince her to leave George for him...and she did.

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

When the term “Classic Rock” is brought up, this song is one of the two or three first songs that come to mind. My wife and I named our son Derek because of Derek and the Dominos.

[@hongfang2348]

There are 2 guitar leads. Eric Clapton is playing the main riff. Duane Allman is playing the high pitch slide guitar. Layla helped define FM rock radio in the first half of the 1970s. It was played daily for years. One of the greatest rock songs.

[@debjorgo]

Plenty of tragedies associated with the members of this song. The song's about George Harrison's wife at the time, the beautiful Pattie Boyd Harrison. She left George after he had an affair with his bandmate, Ringo Starr's wife. Eric Clapton's 4-year-old son Conor fell from a 53-floor open window. Think about that for a little bit. Fellow guitarist on this song, the one playing the slide guitar that sounds like a violin, died in a car wreck, shortly after this, at the age of 24. Drummer Jim Gordon died in prison where he was placed for killing his mother, a little over a decade after recording this song; first attacking her with a hammer, then with a knife. He was apparently hearing voices and not taking his medication.

[@zenpuppy6025]

Eric Clapton had fallen in love with George Harrison’s wife Patti Boyd, he wrote this song for her. They later got married.

[@actionic135]

Rumor has it that a radio station is cursed if it cuts out the chirp at the end.

[@thelasticonoclast9467]

What does Bruce Willis’ daughter know?

[@colinciolli1530]

Mr. Ace, we present to you, Eric Clapton with Duane Allman.

[@wordgiesworld5483]

The best outro in rock music ever. That guitar was Duane Allmam (Allman Brothers Band) on slide guitar. The layering is just beautiful. Cheers!

[@DavidSingerSongwtr]

Wonderful Tonight by Eric Clapton is a great ballad.

[@mickeygregg359]

Might that be Bobby Whitlock on the piano?

[@EarthWalker2023]

🔥

[@williamward446]

I had the great good fortune to see them at the Eastown Theater in Detroit in December 1970... Also, not a violin, but Duane Allman bottlenecking...

[@DougJables]

You couldn’t hardly turn on the radio in the 70s without hearing this….it’s interesting to watch you react for a first-time listen

[@kareng4658]

Love this! Been loving it for almost 50 years. It is the ringtone on my phone

[@charliecochran3035]

Everything about this song screams cocaine fueled to me. That's part of the glory of it though. The betrayal and turmoil that led to this song were almost certainly fueled by copious amounts of cocaine. The high pitched string you hear is Duane Alan on the slide guitar.

[@scurvybro8850]

Don't forget the heroin.

[@randy8297]

I heard it too. It wasn't on the recording it was some kind of glitch.
