Eric Clapton - Layla (Live)

[@Musikmaker658]

When a legend has lost all need for competitiveness and just chills in gratitude.

[@jackyeager695]

In the company of the greatest guitar players of all time.... and such a nice guy. I have met him twice in the airport. The first time I had my daughter with me and he was so nice to her. She was 14 and a violinist. She had her instrument with her and when he saw the case he started to ask her thoughts on various music that she played. He was genuinely interested in her music. The second time I met him he was sitting across and one row up from me on a plane. I introduced myself and told him about how his meeting and talking to my daughter was so great for her. He remembered the occasion!!! God it is nice to see such a superstar behave like a gentleman and be so nice to a young fan. Thanks for so much great music....

[@guitrich]

My experience with EC was similar. I met him in an elevator in our hotel and he stayed on the SAME FLOOR. Imagine my shocking reaction. He talked with me the whole time from the first floor to our floor about his concert that I'm going to see that night. We talked as we walked down the hall way until he had to turn right to his room and I turned left to my room at the other end of the wing. I guess we were at the CROSSROAD. :) I was walking on cloud that afternoon and evening as I saw him in concert.

What’s almost poetic to me is that when we hear Layla first, it’s a chaotic confession of an unspoken love and lust of a young performer with the world at his feet, in many cases played extremely fast, filled with bending and pinch harmonics. As Clapton got older he is now sitting in his chair, and the guitar, even though still playing the same melody - it is now reminiscing the old times, calmly yet playfully, with a little more maturity. Such is the genius of Eric Clapton.

He seems to be a very humble and shy person, never trying to catch the light. It's his concert and we see and hear the rest of his team more than him. He's just nicely offering a good time to his attendees and it looks like that's all that makes him happy. I remember that he appeared in a Dire Strait concert, maybe serving as a last minute replacement. He constantly stayed behind the other ones. MK had to feature him a little bit so that he was visible, otherwise again he was doing his excellent job away in the dark. I have a true respect for people like this. That's definitely what we can call an artist! Only his work counts, not him. Hats down Mr Clapton!

You've been running, hiding much too long You know it's just your foolish pride Layla, got me on my knees Layla, begging, darling, please Layla Darling, won't you ease my worried mind? Tried to give you consolation Your old man had let you down Like a fool, I fell in love with you You turned my whole world upside down Layla, got me on my knees Layla, I'm begging, darling, please Layla Darling, won't you ease my worried mind? Make the best of the situation Before I finally go insane Please don't say we'll never find a way Tell me all my love's in vain Layla, got me on my knees Layla, I'm begging, darling, please Layla Darling, won't you ease my worried mind?

Songs of his fill my heart with this weird joy\sorrow feeling. My husband who passed in 2015 at age 36 and I used to go on long road trips listening to all his cds in the car and belting it out. The unplugged layla was his fave, and I do believe if he had lived long enough to hear this version he would have freakin loved in. My heart hurts in the best way right now. I hope someday I get to go to a concert of our favorite artist. Feckin beautiful!

That's nice, but Skydog had more to do with the guitar in Layla than Eric. Duane Allman played 2 out of 3 guitars.

I've always loved Clapton but even since he came out with his unplugged album back in the early 90s, I've been doubly in love with his style and music. But, these days, I have to say something else. I've become a real Nathan East fan. It does my heart good to see Nathan East over there to Clapton's left playing that upright bass. I think if Nathan East was playing bass in my blues band, we could absolutely do no wrong.

As Oscar Wilde once said: There are 2 tragedies in life: "one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it". Never truer for Eric and the song he wrote about George Harrison's wife Pattie Boyd. One translation for the meaning of Layla is "intoxication" which was quite true about Eric at the time he wrote it. I just so admire Eric Clapton - his music, his unrivalled (for me) guitar playing but just as importantly his victory over the demons of drug and alcohol addiction. You're my man, Eric.

[@Akashpagol]

I thought "Wonderful tonight" was the one inspired by Pattie Boyd. Good to know that Layla too. He was quite a man in his youth and he still is. Although not the man you would want to be around if you had a beautiful wife. :P

Greg you're so right I admire him as you from the depths of my heart I can listen 500 times "layla" I always have chills to listen to his extraordinary guitar game for me is a person and an extraordinary guitarist Every day he gives me energy in everything I do and pushes me to continue playing the guitar that listens Clearly I love it from the depths of my soul Thank you very much Eric
