[@watchbizmatik]

Don't Forget to Like and share This Video Love Ya'll!!

[@falcon215]

This song was written during a time when Clapton was hopelessly in love with the wife of his friend George Harrison of the Beatles. Every song on that album screams heartache.

[@iriswood3744]

That song has Patty Boyd written all over it

[@wingedcaduceus5516]

One of the most beautiful love songs ever!

[@watchbizmatik]

I agree

[@SK-lk3iu]

I don't know why more reactors don't do songs from this album (besides the great "Layla")....it's a masterpiece of guitar blues & rock. "Why Does Love Have to Be So Sad" really rocks out, also "Tell the Truth", "Anyday" & more!

[@antarcticorb9197]

Agreed!

[@betseyr.9081]

You are correct about the songs on this album… they all need to be heard!

[@misterx1969]

Little wing also a standout

[@patrickvecchio8138]

You must review “Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad” from this album.You will hear Eric Clapton and Duane Allman give possibly the greatest two guitar performances ever heard on the same song…..trust me.

[@watchbizmatik]

I gotta hear it

[@hpb5495]

Beat me to it, lol.

[@jefferymckenney2491]

One of best songs for either Eric Clayton or Duane Allman. You can hear both guys tearing it up.

[@mikemike1425]

This is all EC, no Duane on this track, or the first 3 songs on the album. Duane came in after Keep On Growing. EC's vocals are amazing.

[@jporter204b]

You are absolutely correct. My favorite album of all time. Have you ever loved a woman is still my alarm ringtone to this day. I wake up to it every day

[@27thangel23]

Greetings from Canada- bought the record, love it still. Peace, love and bellbottoms.

[@doriwiljt]

One of my favorite EC songs along with Let It Rain.

[@antarcticorb9197]

You got it!

[@chrissiler6075]

That's what Eric was playing, your right on. That's the power of the Blues

[@fewwiggle]

One of my all-time favorite songs -- that dude has been torn apart by love -- it's almost too painful to contemplate . . .

[@jimakcelik6486]

While Eric Clapton and Duane Allman were recording this album I believe in Miami, Jimi Hendrix died in London, they recorded "Little Wing" written by Hendrix in his memory, on the album "Layla and other Love Songs", must listen such a beautiful song.

[@martyjansing2675]

These guys are bastard stepchildren of Delaney & Bonnie and Friends that ran away. Bobby Whitlock on B-3 and vocals. Has a KZbin channel and tells great stories as to where these tunes came from. And a lot of the history that was happening then.

[@williamhopper7873]

If you listen you will hear the voice of Bobby Whitlock. He co-wrote this song with Clapton. Doesn't get enough credit for this album.

[@gesundheit602]

Back in the day when the guitarist for the Allman Brothers could record an entire album with Eric Clapton. 🙂 RIP Duane Allman. If you ever get a chance, go visit his grave in my hometown of Macon, Ga. Bassist Berry Oakley is buried next to Duane and now Gregg is buried very close as well.

[@bobdelp2023]

THAT SLIDE GUITAR IS BY ( DUANE ALLMAN ) 😊 BIZ, MAY HE R.I.P. 🙃

[@paulprendergast3184]

Eric Clapton had left Blind Faith about a year after leaving Cream. He joined up with Delaney and Bonnie on their tour of the UK and Europe to just be in the band and get back to some roots music. Delaney and Bonnie and Friends toured with Clapton on Guitar and George Harrison also joined up. The band included horn players who were the go to guys for the Stones and a drummer, bass player and keyboard player who were part of the Dominos. They started working on the Layla album and went to see the Allman Brothers in concert. Eric asked Duane Allman if he wanted to sit in on the album. Eric Clapton was madly in love with George Harrison's wife, Patty Boyd, but she wouldn't leave George at the time. The result is one of the best, most heart wrenching double albums ever made. It's definitely in my list of best records ever made.

[@antarcticorb9197]

Powerful early seventies memories this song has ignited! Thank you Biz for uncovering those rare gems that tend to sometimes get overlooked.

[@John_Locke_108]

Only seen Clapton live once and he opened the show with an unplugged performance of this gem.

[@jeffk.9075]

Everytime music formats change this is one of the first albums I download, buy, etc.

[@robycip9715]

Biz you on a DAM ROLL! FIRE! Eric's guitar is like a vocal

[@myownchannel247]

Eric Clapton on vocals and guitar 🎸 another great old song . Why does love got to be so sad is another banger

[@msaz2720]

One of my all time favorite Clapton songs...💙💙"Let it grow" is another beautiful song. That guitar is crying in anguish. There's nothing more painful than someone you really love falling out of love with you, man or woman. Been there, long time ago, still remember them once in a while...

[@patrickvecchio8138]

When this album was at its peak around 1970-71,a hippie owned headshop and boutique opened in my neighborhood…the name of it ? Bell Bottom Blues !

[@art3mis290]

💯Love Eric, thank you for reacting to this. This song always makes me think of Jeff Healey and his song "Angel eyes".🎸 Would like to see you react to it as well if you could. 👀And more Eric would be wonderful too.🎶

[@jasonmccluskey3623]

Words can't explain the GREATNESS of Clapton

[@hpb5495]

Greatest rock love song album ever! Same album with Clapton and Duane Allman, "Why Does Love Got to Be So Sad" is one of the best guitar duets you'll ever hear.

[@shezarae8827]

OMG I love this song! Best love song ever written. Yes Eric Clapton is the lead singer for Derek and The Dominos. If somebody wrote that song for me, I would never leave them!

[@Pahdopony]

Love this song. It brings back so many memories. Love Eric Clapton. And to be honest, love a man who will cook dinner. 😂😂😂

[@watchbizmatik]

😂😂😂

[@bobdelp2023]

YEAH BIZ, THAT'S THE COVER OF THE 70 ( LAYLA AND OTHER ASSORTED LOVE SONGS ) 😊 THAT WHOLE ALBUM IS ABOUT GEORGE HARRISON'S WIFE PATTI WHO WAS ONCE WITH ERIC, ALLLLLLL LOVE SONGS BIZ, CLASSICCCCC FOR SURE! 😊

[@ginarichards6307]

Once again, I really enjoyed watching you enjoy this song! Lol. I was just watching your reaction on Into the Mystic and you were talking about songs that just gave you that vibe, that feeling, that not many songs give you. This has been my favorite song I think since I was about 8 years old and I'm 54 now. The song gives me the shivers. Between the vocals and the guitar it's just the perfect song. Another one I feel that way about is Tuesday's gone by Lynyrd Skynyrd. If you haven't checked that one out yet its amazing. I'm going to go look for it now. Lol. Rock on.

[@sylviapotter6328]

Derrick and The Dominos formed in the spring of 1970 by Eric Clapton with Bobby Whitlock doing vocals and keys, Carl Radley on bass, Jim Gordon on drums and of course Eric Clapton vocals and guitar. The band were together for only a year from 1970- 71, Duane Allman played slide guitar on all the songs but 3. The album came from Eric Clapton's obsession with his best friend's George Harrison's wife Patty Boyd Derrick is Eric Clapton and Layla with Patty Boyd. The album didn't sell well in 1970 until March 1972 when Layla made the top 10 in the US and the UK, the album was the beginning of Clapton's big break. George Harrison went on tour with Eric Clapton in Dec.1969 as the guitarist for a band called Delaney and Bonnie and that's how he met Patty, Patty and Eric Clapton would meet at Clapton's loft and when he played Layla for her she told him he had to change the names for obvious reasons 😂. Patty Boyd wanted to go to a party but George didn't so she went and Clapton was there, George went and caught them on the balcony, Eric told him he was in love with his wife and George said OK and remained Clapton's friend up to his death. Eric Clapton did end up marring Patty Boyd on May 19, 1970 but like so many others who start with affairs they divorced in 1989. Obviously George Harrison didn't give a shit because he along with, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr played at the reception along with Mick Jagger, Elton John, David Bowie and alot more, Clapton set up a big stage for a obviously huge jam session ( i wish I had all that at my reception) like others the Eric Claptonsaid in an interview that he talked to another musician named Dr John who practiced VooDoo and he gave him a package of straw to help Patty to fall in love with Clapton 😂 😂. On June 3, 1983 Jim Gordon who was misdiagnosed was a schizophrenic but was treated for alcohisum attacked his 72 yr old mother with a hammer then stabbed her with a butcher knife because he said a voice told him to kill her was put in a mental hospital and is still there today. Sorry about the last part I know it's pretty sick. Eric Clapton is absolutely a legend.

[@knightngail1]

My bad, i just asked for this on your Neil Diamond-Forever in Blue Jeans. I should've checked first. 💙🥰💙

[@marymargaretmoore9034]

This album is great; Duane Allman also on here.

[@jporter204b]

No this song though. This is one of three songs they had recorded when Clapton invited Duane to join

[@guilhermerossi8319]

Great reaction! I suggest you look more into his live performances, specially back in the 60s-70s when he used to slay the guitar. Here are some songs: Bluesbreakers - Have you ever loved a woman, Stormy Monday, Stepping out, Hideaway Cream ALL LIVE - NSU, Im so Glad, Sweet Wine, Stepping out, Spoonful, Crossroads, White Room, Sitting on the top of the world Derek and the Dominos - Why does love got to be so sad LIVE, Let it Rain LIVE and Anyday Blind Faith - Can’t find my way home and Presence of the Lord live at hyde park Dirty Mac - Yer Blues

[@ChuckyONeill-q6i]

You get Clapton!!!!

[@KennyY-bh3zl]

The legendary Eric Clapton. My favorite is the Creedence-like slow rocker "Promises". Other classics are "For Your Love" (with the Yardbirds), "Badge" (with Cream), "Presence of the Lord" (with Blind Faith), and solo songs "Let It Rain", "Blues Power", "Let It Grow",.

[@ktwebbdevil]

More Clapton for sure! There is lots to choose from like Creem,Blind Faith,The Yardbirds,Derek & The Dominoes,Delaney & Bonnie and friends ,Solo and more! He has played with just about everybody in music live!

[@fast4wood]

This song and album are solid gold no doubt. Another one you may consider would be Motherless Children from 461 Ocean Blvd . You don't hear it to much but one of Eric's best . Great reaction btw.

[@alrivers2297]

Good one. 3 others you should hear are After Midnight, Let it Grow and Let it Rain

[@lwells3937]

I love Bell bottom blues 💙

[@johnathanstruble1064]

Yup!!..the family tree of Clapton is second to none!!

[@gladys4246]

Love love love this album!! Mama and daddy named me after this album lol. I recommend you listen to one of my favorite songs ever, called If I'm Wrong by lynyrd skynyrd.. a hidden gem from before they were known as one of the most rockin bands in America history

[@kareng4658]

Great reaction to a beautiful song!

[@watchbizmatik]

Thank you

[@kianpa1]

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing. ❤️

[@watchbizmatik]

🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿

[@jimkruchowski7400]

Definitely listen to this double album and see if you agree that EVERY song is good!

[@NG-Lespaul]

Yeah Biz!!! Great pick!!!!

[@watchbizmatik]

🤘🏿🤘🏿

[@cshubs]

Check out the Derek/Dominos Jam Sessions.

[@gdmyers47]

I guess you know that there are TWO guitars, Eric's and Duane Allman's. hence "Derick" and the Dominoes?

[@watchbizmatik]

I just found out from the comments

[@jimmytaylor9854]

Not on this one. Duane doesn’t show up yet. All guitars on Bell Bottom Blues are played by Clapton.

[@gdmyers47]

@@jimmytaylor9854 Thanks. Don't know much about the band, but knew they BOTH played on "Layla" and just assumed Duane played on all of the songs--although I DID notice what I thought was the absence of a second guitar but just thought that I didn't listen closely enough.

[@cinderstoryful]

This song and Layla were both written about George Harrison’s wife~ that Clapton later married then dumped 😢 Some ppl just long for what they can’t have till they do

[@dannywood1472]

Eric is the best! Cocaine , tears from heaven.

[@bobl4439]

The sound of metal crying😢

[@VIDSTORAGE]

Yes LAYLA album is very well worth the whole listen , the songs are great ..

[@finneguitarplayer9825]

Eric Clapton, my Guitar Hero…

[@greggbradford2307]

Yup... Many guitarist can make their guitars weep! Hehehehe

[@jamesmorrison959]

Why does love have to be so sad.....little wing.....l looked away.....tell the truth....and a few others that slip my mind... Duane Allman plays slide on a couple songs...Great documentary about the making of the album...kinda put together .. heavy drug use

[@justkaron]

One of my son's favorites. Quite a backstory of grabbing other's wives on this one. LOL

[@Smootman1]

Hit Let It Grow, Motherless Children and Lay Down Sally. Clapton is always a good choice...😎😎

[@gerhardbraatz6305]

Damn, he had it bad.

[@watchbizmatik]

Foreal

[@David-ng7cr]

Just came about. Like your channel. Give Robin Trower a go. Try daydream out for starters.

[@watchbizmatik]

Thanks

[@dannytapp7259]

I try to sing the high part

[@watchbizmatik]

Me too

[@gregjones861]

Biz: I busted out laughing at your clenched teeth, finger pointing calling for an apron and stocking. Thanks for breaking the serious mood of the song for a few moments. Agreed that the guitars are wailing in pain and heartbreak.

[@watchbizmatik]

😂😂😂😂

[@OroborusFMA]

This band was cursed. Allman died in a motorcycle accident shortly after the release. Clapton burned out on heroin and didn't put out another album for three years. Another band member OD'd in the late 70s. The drummer went insane, killed his mother, and is now in an insane asylum.

[@gerhardbraatz6305]

Be careful Biz. People get their wittle feewings hurt these days. LOL

[@watchbizmatik]

😂😂😂

[@mrnobody9104]

too late now but this would've been a great album for you to do...

[@watchbizmatik]

It’s never too late lol
