The best artists are the ones that become the song. That become the dance. That become the painting. They are the best of the best. They transcend something the rest of us aren't aware of. Clapton is one of those. Gilmore is another. They produce music that is timeless and magnificent. They'll still be listening to Clapton and Floyd a millenia from now.

Clapton is at the top of his game here. Strong vocal, confident, risk taking solos. I’d guess this was uploaded in 2007 but recorded years before that. Clapton has had one of the longest, most productive careers of anyone I can name. He’s been an nearly inspiration and has never let me down.

I always had wondered why Clapton could never get the intro riff down like on the original recording. Then years ago I found out the reason is, it was not him.

[@rex69832]

I was born in 1950. So much good music came out of the 60's, 70's and 80's. As far as I'm concerned that was the golden age of music. When I first heard "Layla" it blew me away. Clapton is soooo good. When he was with Cream they did a little number called; "Tales of Brave Ulysses". Still one of my favourite sings. Dire Straits made some really good music. I "discovered" them through the album "Brothers in Arms". The production values on the titular song are outstanding. I grew up in the era of Led Zepp. Another amazing band. But I think I've come to appreciate just how good Pink Floyd is. When I was younger I didn't have the maturity to realize just how good Floyd actually is. Over the years I've come to appreciate them more and more. When I first heard, "Dark Side of the Moon" I was transported to a higher plane. Without drugs. You don't need drugs to get high off of Floyd music. Very underrated band, "Thunderclap Newman". If you want to go a little retro, see if you can find a copy of "Spirit's"; "Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus". You'll be pleasantly surprised.

[@semmesirby2783]

Not going to lie its amazing to see how many people underrate Mark Knopfler. Dude pretty much hit the peak of guitar playing by the mid- 80's, with incredibly loose, soulful, fluid and flowing arpeggios all while controlling the tempo in such a smooth way. His timing and use of it are pretty incredible, even looking at their early self titled. not many people can move their fingers like that, much less while fingerpicking.

What's great about a lot of Clapton live performances is that he invites a bunch of his "friends" who just happen to be mostly all big name professionals, to play along, it's like they all get together and jam just for the hell of it and it turns out to be a masterpiece. I've seen him several times with Billy Preston (RIP) on keyboards, Phil Collins on drums , John Mayer, and several others. They all have a great camaraderie and no one is going to turn down CLAPTON when he invites them, and he rarely turns down anyone either if they all have common dates open. He's a great guy and was great friends with George Harrison despite the wife swap, and that says something about their friendship.

[@DIEmicrosoft]

And the sixties lol

[@jaurandt]

Fuck it man; with women it's survival of the fittest. There's no such thing as, "you can't steal my ex-wife." As long as *cheating* isn't involved, if your wife or ex-wife gets swooped up by another man, that means YOU did something wrong, not her or the other man. Resentment against either party is only going to hurt oneself, not them. Women make their own decisions. I've lost women to other men, shit; I've also have lost them to other women. Guess what though; after deep soul searching, it was *always* I who was the one to drive them away. But, I bet Clapton looks at "Layla" now and is like, "ugh, thank God. And also, "why was I so stupid?" And probably thinks, well I was young and stupid... Just like everyone else.

[@FredPinkertonIII]

The only time I saw Eric Clapton live was in Boston (circa 1978-80). Pete Townsend and Keith Moon played about half the show with him.

[@wannabetowasabe]

I heard this song first as it was played over the speakers in the dining hall at Northern Arizona University in the fall of 1972. This was in the second semester of my sophomore year as I transferred in for one semester to finish the required electives for entering the forestry school program the next fall. At the time I didn't fully appreciate the brilliance of Eric Clapton like I do now. Also playing at the time was the Eagles "Take It Easy," with the line "standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona." At that time most music stations were on AM. FM was really special, with a very different sound. AM would play the top 40 version of songs, no more than 3-4 minutes and FM stations would play the full length album versions of the song. This was so ingrained in the culture of the time that if a person was asked a question where the answer could be quite involved or complex, the person would reply, "would you like the AM version or the FM?" Now FM is nothing special, it sounds just as hyped with terrible car commercials and the like. There are some good "all news, all the time" AM stations, but music is essentially absent from AM. Most of it consists of politically conservative talk shows. This version of "Layla" is definitely the FM version. Fast forward 20 years, I now have 18 years of experience in the U.S. Forest Service in recreation management. Among my duties was supervising a shuttle bus system and an entrance station. We employed seasonals and sometimes they could be quite young. I was doing some maintenance on the entrance station on one occasion and there was an FM radio on low volume so as not to disturb the visitors. This slow version of Layla came on and I recognized the lyrics, but not the melody. I thought it was Clapton singing, but wasn't quite sure. I asked one of the employees whose song this was and the reply: "yah, it's that NEW guy, Eric Clapton." The other employee nodded her head enthusiastically in agreement. Eric Clapton, that NEW Guy!!!!!!" I suddenly realized that I was in my middle 40's and being a young person had passed me by while I had my head down in huge workloads at all the ranger stations I had worked from in 4 states. You start work not knowing much, you have to ask a lot of questions. Then you realize you aren't asking very many questions, but this for only a year or two. What quickly follows is you become a "go to person" and you are answering far more questions than you ask. The gap between rookie and being a "go to guy" is so short and you don't even realize the shift for quite a while.

[@wannabetowasabe]

Other memorable songs with very long "FM versions," "Hey Jude," which I think is about 14+ minutes long and "Inna Gotta Devita" at 17+ with a version floating around at 22 or 23 minutes. I wish that FM radio never changed. There were some incredible stations. On the AM side when you were driving at night you could hear "KFI" Los Angeles, "KOB" Albuquerque, "KOA" Denver and "KBOI" Boise." These all came in pretty clear, depending on the atmosphere and the amount of sun spotting in its 11 year cycle. There was also "KNX 1070, All News, All the Time" that seemed to boom in no matter what. At maximum sun spotting WLS Chicago could be heard, with some interference. It was the only way to get some music on long night drives. Now, there is Sirius radio, with crisp reception almost no matter where you are. This with a hundred or two channels.

[@markfishburn2549]

The comment below about being an underated vocalist below reminded me of the Richmond 4th national jazz and blues festival in 1964. Why I remember was that I ran into Eric in one of the bars and he said he was very nervous as it was his first time as lead singer of the Yardbirds - he mostly sung back up vocals as I remember. (Normal lead singer Keith Relf was unwell and couldn't perform.) Of course what I mostly remember is buying Eric a drink. He was great of course but it was years later he really blossomed as a singer. Bands there included Manfred Mann, The Rolling Stones, The Yardbirds (With Clapton) and blues greats Memphis Slim and Jimmy Witherspoon. I regularly saw the Yardbirds on a Friday night at the Marquee Club in London and was pressent for all the recordings that became the famed "Five Live Yardbids" Album. Ahh memories!

Im in the winter of my life now but saw Clapton play many times. He has never disappointed. So glad he mended fences wirh Jack Bruce & Ginger Baker before both passed and once again became the greatest power rock trio ever...CREAM.
