Derek And The Dominos - Let It Rain [Album: Live At The Fillmore] High Quality Sound Full Version

Bobby Whitlock's voice carried the vocals for sure ... Jim Gordon was a masterful drummer - maybe one of the top two or three in the business at the time ... Eric was at top form ... Not too many people mention Carl Radle - laying down that heavy and steady bass beat to carry everyone along. What a marvelous group of musicians.

When going to a concert was a event. So glad i grew up in this era.

[@howardfrehsee5897]

When I recently listened to this album two songs blew me away. ie., Let It Rain & Got to Get Better in a Little While. Clapton played on a level never elsewhere achieved or exceeded in my opinion. Everything worked like the finest painting ever created, a true work of art in a league of its own. I can't stop listening to both these amazing works of art. Whitlock, Radle, and Gordon all came together with Clapton to create pure genius. The versions of these two amazing songs have never been surpassed and I bet Eric would say it's his and his teams greatest accomplishment ever! To think this music was created live on February 23rd, & 24th 1970 and finally released on February 22, 1994 ie., 24 years later is shocking. This unparalleled work should have hit the market as soon as possible after it was recorded. Imagine genius work of this magnitude collecting dust on a shelve. What a find and a true pleasure to be shared with humanity forever timeless.

[@JohnLnyc]

Howard…a double album of these 1970 shows at the Fillmore East was released in 1972. The 1994 record/CD was remastered from the 1972 release.

[@billr2375]

Bobby Whitlocks back up vocals and shouts and answers to Erics vocals in this song and all of them ,is a key piece of what made their overall sound work, and unique--all their own---often imitated never duplicated. They were my first concert---Thanksgiving weekend 1970 Painters MIll, Maryland, Theatre in the Round...they opened with Layla. I was 16.

[@garyhamby4569]

Bobby Whitlock is the most unsung vocalist of this era. It was a real shame that this group didn't last, but the blend of Bobby's and EC's voices is simply brilliant. I grew up on this music, and it always stands the test of time.

[@1978bluez]

Clapton is brilliant here. Thank you sir for your years of dedication sharing your talent and love of music, hope Clapton stays healthy for years to come.

[@sturoc0]

Got this record when it first came out back when Live lps were almost better than the studio due to the energy created onstage. EC's lead work is at his finest. The drum solo set the bar for me at age 12 as to how to do a drum solo. It's like Jim had the band still playing in his head, that's how in time he was thru out it. While the band as a whole may sound a bit loose (as some have critiqued ) This version overall, is most excellent and its 19 min long ! I pine for those old days still....

[@leeakers4525]

Carl Radle's picking fingers must have been on fire that night. Full tilt, and never missed a note. To my ear, and as a musician,he was the best Fender Bass player ever.

The Dominoes were fantastic. Eric was in some fine bands that only made him excel at what he does best. What a time to be young and music like this was being made.

[@wrbullard]

Having followed EC closely since the mid-70s, I rate his playing in '70 and '71, which also includes the Layla sessions (with Duane on more than half the finished album and jams), as his greatest, followed by the Bluesbreakers '66 album, then Cream. It is now fashionable to denigrate his play after heroin and alcoholism ('72-79 or so) and say he's just a shell of himself. While I don't think he ever regained the same power in the studio, his playing in the late '80s was excellent and he had very good moments in the 90s and 00s, Where I feel the critics are most uninformed is in his live performances: I saw him in '04 and it rivaled a '78 show, and his 3-night reunion with Steve Winwood at Madison Sq. Garden in '08 was a testament to his stunning talent and passion 45 years into his career.

William Bullard I agree completely with you, critics are jaded and must taken with a grain of salt. I saw the second night of the 3-night reunion with SteveWinwood at Madison Sq. Garden in 08. It is was maybe the 5th time I had seen EC and he is always professional but sometimes he is inspired and that night he was inspired. Critics like to dump on him because he did not die like Jimi.

[@buckfan1969]

William Bullard I agree! I've long felt Clapton was at his best during his D & the Dominoes days. Keep some in the car all the time for a 'rainy day'.

[@johndoss9806]

Maybe the most underrated drummer of all rock, possibly the best ever, Jimmy Gordon check out the solo he kills it. Eric in his prime masterful.

[@jgwolford]

john Doss Jim Gordon was a great drummer and his style of playing was much like Mitch Michelle and Santana's original drummer Michael shrieve but maybe better. Many of my favorite rock drummers came from a Jazz influence. I believe he is still locked up because he killed his mother. He is a diagnosed schizonphrenic, really tragic and almost as much as the Peter Green story.

[@glawnow1959]

+Diego Loco I think Jim Gordon was an amazing drummer! Not only could he do this, but listen to "Sundown" or "Diamonds and Rust" or "Wichita Lineman" or "Midnight at the Oasis" or "You're So Vain." Eric said he was the best rock drummer he ever played with by far.

As many here have already opined, I also think Eric was at his best when he was with Derek and the Dominos. I love the live recordings this group made. I can listen to them over and over and over. The only dissenting comment I would make about this particular song is in regards to the drum solo. This is something I see (or hear) again and again with rock and roll drummers: not much imagination. I don’t think there are too many that can even come close to the likes of Joe Morello, Buddy Rich, Chick Webb, Louis Bellson, Gene Ktupa, Alan Dawson, Jo Jones, Bobby Durham and many, many more. Maybe it’s the genre. But R&R drummers seem to lack imagination.

[@jakejohansen1889]

the reason Derek & the Dominos never even had a chance of getting back together is because Jim Gordon, their awesome drummer is serving a life sentence for murder, as of 78 or 79 maybe? Its a very sad story - he ended up with a severe psychosis because of so many 8 balls (heroin & cocaine) and other drugs and ended up killing his mom.

[@jakejohansen1889]

They really were the best rock band in the world then.

This is amazing stuff, but it is not the best D and the D's live album. I simply cannot find it but it is even better than this. Derek and the Dominoes live. Same songs but better album. Again - this is as good as it gets. Jim Gordon . . .
