This was and still is timeless. Just too bad they didn't last too long. Still one of my favorite Clapton acts.

[@wendellburkhart8297]

This was hands down one of the best bands I've ever heard and I think I speak for the majority that knows what RNR really is and there plenty of different types of RNR and I have my own opinions about that and Skynyrd... Marshall Tucker..Allman Bro's...SRV and on and on but this her is my go to when I start thinking about the past and I'm just 56 but I have reasons for this and it just reminds me of my Uncle I used to play with and he was untouchable around where I live with this kinda music .

Never heard this before I am always searching for new EC material. D&TD are the pinnacle of his career I think!

[@terrycarthy4433]

I'm assuming ya' familiar with the Layla box set, the jam sessions CD ? Needless to say the band is phenomenal but, gee, EC is incredible (my fav' is jam #4).

[@TheCapedWanderer]

[@matthewcrich5951]

@@pabloperez4063 I fully agree. I do it all the time. I just take issue with one individual declaring someone else to be the best without empirical evidence. Which is impossible for the arts. Sports are different. Fastest, strongest, longest, highest can all be measured& then “the best” can be crowned.

[@claritydreamsleeves541]

Maybe best blues-rock, which is saying a lot considering the Stones are largely in that category. But they're not The Beatles, and the Stones output was about 20 times Derek & the Dominos. No shame in that.
