This is the slowed down, acoustic version... you should check out his original version. He wrote this about Patty Boyd, who was married to George Harrison at the time. She later left Harrison for Clapton... but she wasn't treated any better and they would also divorce. Patty has probably had more songs written about her than any other woman. 💙

[@richschuster1097]

His live electric version is legendary.

[@ddraiss]

BP was talking about cover songs in the intro, and a very strange way this is essentially Eric Clapton doing a cover of his own song.

[@Navillus02]

His original version in the early 70's was amazing. Derek and the Dominoes.

[@heatherqualy9143]

I so appreciate this slowed down acoustic version. Absolutely mesmerizing. That said? I prefer the original rocker version he started with.

[@controlZchannel]

That means she's for the streets!

[@cmoplay1]

I believe Layla is a woman named Patty Harrison, the wife of George Harrison. Patty left George, who wrote several beautiful songs about her while still with the Beatles. Patty married Clapton, but his chronic heroine abuse and other private issues ended their marriage. Eric got straight and helped many other addicts throughout his life. His beautiful tribute to his baby son, who died in a terrible accident, is a fantastic piece of music. It's called Tears in Heaven. Peace

[@samfisher6606]

George and Patty I think we're still together when this song came out.

[@dawnyoung8]

Yep sure is

[@jimhsfbay]

How about his tribute to other people’s children by being so militantly anti-COVID vaccine? Maybe some parents will listen to his medical advice (he is an art school dropout after all), lose their child to COVID (still circulating) and get inspired to write the next ‘Tears in Heaven.’

[@kathieovercash8414]

I'll never be able to hear Tears In Heaven without crying.

[@bethvaughn4231]

This is the acoustic guitar version. You need to hear the original. They are very different.

[@KevL_262]

Don't get me wrong, the acoustic version is nice, but the original with the electric guitar hits differently!!!!

[@allenruss2976]

This comes across more as a lullaby.

[@ga_patriot279]

The Original has more emotion than any one song should be able to hold.

[@SK-lk3iu]

"Hits differently" is putting it mildly! 😄

[@punkydoodle4774]

And it has that fire slide guitar with Duane Allman. A totally different vibe from this. The original is my all-time favorite song.

[@gregwilton4539]

Both versions are amazing but for different reasons.

[@TPAs-Adventures]

He is recognized as one of the best guitar players ever. Nick name Slow Hand.

[@jessievoisin5462]

You owe it to yourself to go back and listen to the original. This version is cool but it's an old man telling a story from long ago. The original is a young man still burning from being in love with his best friend's wife (and has the great Duane Allman playing). Just look up Derek and the Dominoes - Layla. SPOILER; He ends up with the girl

[@cheredoremi1922]

..and then leaves her..

[@itsakittyting]

Totally true

[@michaelhillmann3460]

This was a remix of his song for the MTV series Unplugged. It’s almost a different song. The original was a pure rocker.

[@leonardwashington6456]

This isn't the unplugged version as that is my favorite version. He was far younger when he did that unplugged set. Great rendition at any rate.

[@michaelhillmann3460]

@@leonardwashington6456 I understand this is a different time but the MTV version was the first time he slowed it down as an acoustical version.

[@curtislong6806]

It doesn't matter if you sample or cover. What is important is giving credit.

[@RockPowerUSA]

He is alive. He's a living legend.

[@geoffreyclaunch2449]

You with your heart ripped out? Tears in Heaven.

[@goosebump801]

🙌💯 Cane here to say this

[@stephenstrudwick8095]

You really have to check out the studio version of "Layla" and maybe also "Bell Bottom blues" from the album "Layla and other associated love songs" by "Derek and the Dominos" 13:22 (Clapton's band name from the late 60s/early 70s). Heck, check out the whole album. It's all great blues rock. The studio version of Layla is pure rock and clearly accentuates his painful yearning for his friend George Harrison's then wife, Patti. Clapton went acoustic and more mellow with the song Layla, as he got older. 🙂

[@rayj1011]

Yes, the studio version has a much faster, rock tempo.

[@karlweir3198]

Listen to tears in heaven by Eric Clapton

[@valerielynn7256]

Definitely tear jerker that song gets me every time knowing the story behind the song of the passing of his young son

[@donnaneville192]

This song was inspired by his wife and model Patti Boyd, who he also wrote Wonderful Tonight and Bell Bottom Blues about. Patti was previously married to George Harrison of the Beattles, who was also one of Eric's best friends. Yes there was a big scandal. She also inspired several songs that Harrison wrote.

[@curtislong6806]

Jenny Boyd, Patty's sister also had several songs written about her. Donovan wrote Jennifer Juniper about her after she overdosed and almost died in the bathroom. She was married to Mick Fleetwood.

[@sandralybrand9425]

She must've been some lady! 🤣🤣

[@wesalker3479]

George went to their wedding, with Paul McCartney and Ringo. . . . .

[@rosemaryabbott1020]

@@wesalker3479 It was a true show of love and friendship on the side of both Clapton and Harrison in my opinion.

[@billtellefsen6785]

George met Patty when The Beatles were filming "A Hard Day's Night". She played one of the fans that was on the train with them.

[@jewls9697]

I love Eric Clapton... You Look Wonderful Tonight!!

[@philipem1000]

"Tears in Heaven" is the story of his feeling over the loss of his little boy. It will bring tears. A really good cover will give respect to the original and offer something new, something of the new performer too.

[@candacemay7187]

Now you really need to check out the original "Layla" when Eric was with Derek and the Dominoes. Totally different vibe!!

[@lisadavenport2390]

Eric Clapton is a legend

[@kathieovercash8414]

Eric Clapton was huge in the career of the Bee Gees. They had experienced quite a long dry spell and Eric suggested they go to Florida and record at the Criteria Studio and in 1970 they did just that and the magic happened. Jive Talkin, Nights On Broadway, Fanny Be Tender With My Love and so many more great songs were born. I'm forever grateful.

[@joeevett9007]

Legend, he is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 3 times. Part of the Yard Birds and Cream and as a singer/song writer.

[@randyjohnson6960]

Best place in the world is where. ERIC CLAPTON is playing. 💯🎵🔥👊

[@MichaelKing-de4jz]

You gotta check out Cream. Clapton was the lead guitarist, Cream is sometimes called the first "super group".

[@leitheparsons1186]

Between this version and his earlier versions are like 2 total different songs. To me he reinvented his own song. I really like his different versions. In Patty Boyde's book, when she was with Clapton, he was so messed up with drugs and alcohol that he should have made it. We would have lost out on so much music if hadn't gotten clean and sober!

[@bethscott4330]

I wonder, would Eric Clapton ever play live any song the same way twice? He seems so organic when he plays…it’s like a reflection of his talent, his age, his mood maybe where he’s playing or what time of the day it is? 😂

[@paulwood5803]

I had the great joy and honour to see Eric play live for the first time (I'm 68, he is a huge part of my musical life) just over a week ago. It was like listening to a Rolls Royce instead of a Skoda. Genius. Best ever? There are many possible candidates for that accolade. However what we can confidently say is that when Eric played with Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page, you would never ever hear anything better, because 3 better guitarists don't exist and have never existed.

[@user-mo6tz6oh9i]

His fast version of this song was a big hit before he came out with this short version. I like them both very much. The story behind it is sad to me. Patti Harrison, George’s wife, left George for his good friend, Eric. Things didn’t work out her Patti and Eric either. But George and Eric remained friends.

[@karensilvera6694]

This is the unplugged version and it's beautiful in it's own right. Some have recommended checking the album version and i agree. It'll demonstrate how songs change over the years. I suggest doing Cream's version of Crossroads. Eric is the guitarist in that song.

[@karenpowell6063]

I love this slow version of Layla , if you liked this one check out the original Layla by Eric Clapton & band from 1969🔥👍🔥🔥

[@belindablount9430]

The original is rocking Clapton has stripped it down her.

[@chuckwagon7860]

He's performing in Budokan, Tokyo. Blessings to you and the family, Robert!

[@yrena8901]

You need to listen to him do this with Derek and the Dominoes.

[@sandralybrand9425]

I admire musicians that can still play and sing are still entertaining in their 60s and 70s.They could just kick back and enjoy life and not ever worry about money.They just have performing in their blood.

[@bamabythebay]

I love me some slow hand Eric Clapton. Seen him free after hurricane Katrina in New Orleans I've listen to him my whole life. The band Cream, White Room was the first one I remember.WOW!I was 3 😁 and Crossroads and He's awesome 🎸 player and close to BB King ❤❤

[@shezarae8827]

I love Eric Clapton, and yes this is his song. The original was not laid back and jazzy, but a screaming guitar rock song. My favorite song of Eric Clapton's is, Bell Bottom Blues, which is from back when He was Deric and the Dominos as was Layla. Bell Bottom Blues was about the same woman. Layla was a girlfriend who was passed back and forth between Eric Clapton and one of the Beatles, I forget who. Here is one you should definitely take in. The song is, Poor Elijah - Delaney & Bonnie w/ a younger Eric Clapton kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5LXpqB5fLN0g5osi=XIPH7Gt1vwlr5Djq

[@teddarr7887]

The original version with Derek and the Dominos (Clapton and Duane Allman on guitar) is best IMO. Amazing slide guitar and mush more passionate version.

[@lboden7239]

Eric Clapton is 79 years old now and was in his first band at the age of 17. He started out amazing and has only aged like wine. Maybe because he doesn't still have long hair and has to strut across the stage, but he can carry this into the present and is still worth giving your attention to.

[@Adam-vs2in]

This version doesn’t hold a candle to his unplugged performance. He absolutely rips that guitar apart.

[@matthewlaird5235]

One of the best acoustic guitar solos of all time!

[@ericmorgan204]

In the 60’s, graffiti stating “Clapton is god” was seen all over Englands subways and walls, all because of his guitar brilliance. He also has a song called “Tears in heaven” and in relation to the time his son was killed falling from a multistorted window, Beautiful.

[@kallsop2]

This is Eric doing an acoustic version of Layla which he did in 1970. This is a different acoustic version then did in 1993. And yes, this song was written about Patty Harrison wife of George Harrison of the Beatles, and how he wanted her but you don't go after the wife of a Beatle. She eventually left George and married Clapton.

[@teresaquiney171]

Love me some Eric Clapton ❣️❣️❣️

[@jeremywood2129]

The song "cocaine" was written and originally recorded by JJ Cale, you should give it a listen!

[@theadviser123]

The audio of this is so much better. It's beautiful and his rock version is exhilarating!

[@marcgarcia288]

As others have mentioned, PLEASE check out the studio version. Completely different songs, same lyrics.

[@slowerthinker]

When a track is covered the original song writer will still be credited and will still get their share of the royalties. Sampling ... not always, and therefore can be more controversial.

[@TheRagratus]

The song "Cocaine" was written by J.J. Cale.

[@sundayze]

Yes, a hero for speaking out! Van Morrisson too! Love them both!

[@rosemaryabbott1020]

Both of them are awesome musicians AND human beings which is more than I can say for the creators of Covid 19 and its vaccines!

[@jamesbondbond8388]

Eric Clapton........ Slowhand

[@TheAlmaward]

The difference between sampling and doing a cover is that sampling is usually uncredited, whereas if you do a cover, the people who wrote the music and lyrics are fully credited with having done so. The lack of credit given is why people dislike sampling, not the sampling itself.

[@jbs454]

Check his song Tears In Heaven he wrote after his son died falling out of his apartment window, he was in about eight other bands also

[@TNRose88]

This looks like Eric Clapton's "Unplugged Tour".. saw this live at the Midsouth Coliseum in Memphis TN.. He is awesome!

[@curtislong6806]

One of the founders of country music, Roy Acuff had a hit song called Birmingham Jail. I was singing it one day and realized the melody was on top of old smokey.

[@g4dan1]

Check out “Layla” by Dereck and the Dominos. It’s still Eric Clapton but, a whole different vibe. Done very early in ECs career.

[@MamaJewels99]

If you like Eric Clapton “Tears in heaven” is a must. Based on his grief over his son’s death. Heartbreakingly beautiful.

[@gerrywinkler8237]

Eric Clapton is one of the BEST..

[@christopherderoy3153]

There’s a video where Eric Clapton first plays tears in Heaven live. Which if you weren’t aware, is about his little son who fell to his death out of a window. So he just reaches over and grabs his guitar. No auto tune, no lip syncing, and delivers this beautiful, emotional masterpiece. It’s a MUST WATCH! I’m getting chills just typing about it

[@randyhochstein8455]

This show I believe was at the Royal Albert Hall. This is essentially a cover of the original rock version of this song. Of course he’s covering his own song, but doing it in a different tempo and scaled back to an acoustic version.✌🏼😎🇺🇸

[@RobertoSantana61]

My favorite guitar playing by Eric Clapton is for the Phil Collins song "I wish it would rain down"

[@cmoplay1]

I don't get medical information from my guitar legends.🎉 He's a favorite of mine, but he's had some tragedies that would break your heart. The rock version of this hits hards.

[@drieuxkoeppel8152]

Disagree! It still peeves me-I’m an RN, and misinformation is a HUGE problem in today’s world. We fight it all. The. Time.

[@JaneWalters-ni7se]

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

The studio version is EPIC, especially the end. 🙌

[@beckyhudson1201]

My husband loved Eric Clapton our Dobermans registered name was Eric Clapton Of Turf.

[@danielswood]

Layla's a very strong memory of mine, leaving school late after my guitar lesson, a mate called me into the main hall where he'd been setting everything up for the 6th form Christmas disco later that night. He asked me to sit on a chair in the middle of the massive space and check out the sound system. What song is it? I asked, Oh, a new Clapton one. Calling himself Dereck and the Dominoes, but it's Clapton really. Two seconds later and that famous riff is blasting out sooo loud. What a literally unforgettable experience.

[@eloisecarlin8695]

It’s about Eric C’s love for George Harrison’s wife, Patti Boyd. It’s quite a story and George H wrote Something about her.

[@susanworkman529]

I agree.....its a beautiful song, so laid back, soft, casual, jazzy and a bit bluesy too.

[@chelseahaley8350]

This is great, but the original is way better! If u end up checking out more by him, one of my favorite songs is Change the world! ❤

[@ga_patriot279]

The Album Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs was written to win the love of his best friend’s wife away from her husband. It is one of the most emotionally fueled collections of songs ever. Clapton’s guitar work on those pieces did their intended job, ended his close friendship with George Harrison and also ended Harrison’s marriage. Rock and Roll has some strange powers sometimes.

[@gingers.5933]

Actually, Eric and George remained good friends until George's passing.

[@ricksurratt9034]

This is amazing

[@alanberesford7900]

Layla , he recorded this under the name of Derrick and the Domino’s,The full electric version is better. Also great guitar players please checkout Richie Blackmore from Deep Purple.

[@drieuxkoeppel8152]

He spelled it “Derek”. Not “Derrick”…

[@melissatomlin13]

Blackmore’s Night is one of my favorite bands folk/rock

[@user-xl7bz7zo1z]

I think that it's the ultimate compliment to the original artist

[@user-pc4bp9ff8f]

Jeff Beck is a friend and peer of Eric Clapton and they have played together on stage.

[@maryramirezgreene1455]

I named my first daughter Layla. I had listened to Derek and the Dominoes on loop while in my late 20’s. My husband is a musician so it wasn’t hard to sell him on my choice for our baby girl’s name. Layla Marie Greene was born healthy and beautiful on September 8, 1999. We realized she had an ear for music when she wrote her first song at the age of 5 years old!

[@TheBestStuffForKids]

2014, far and middle east leg of Eric Clapton's tour. Someone made a documentary out of it called Planes, Trains and Eric

[@rebeccacurtis6680]

Clapton reinvented his own song when he did that 2nd version of Layla. The original was most definitely a banger, but I love the calmer version, too. Both are great for different reasons. As for Clapton's 💉 injury story, it not only is true, but he was hospitalized & almost died. In addition, Van Morrison joined Clapton in an offensive against the mandates, etc. Total respect for both guys.

[@debhanna8935]

I got to see Eric Clayton with Blind Faith many years ago and also got to see him with Mark knopfler. He is soooo good.

Originally done early 70's, by Derek and the Domino's of which Clapton was a member. You should check the original version with the group. Much more on the rock side. ❤

[@jennifermcdonald5432]

I love this version, but the electric guitar version is very very different. Eric Clapton is a true legend, an honest all time legend! He is known through 50-60 years of the music industry as one of the absolute best! He has been at the forefront of so many music innovations, they’re uncountable!

[@beverlybrown2673]

His entire episode of MTV's Unplugged is worth watching. As are the original electric versions of all the same songs.

[@swimlaps1]

He wrote it for Pattie Boyd, who was married to George Harrison of The Beatles & fell in love with her after going to their home. Pattie got a part & met George while filming A Hard Days Night! Saw it at 6 as we 4 kids (one 12) walked to the cinema 4 blocks away. Unique b&w movie, teens screaming..

[@MrKittenmitts]

The story of this song is crazy. Its just one of many songs both he and George Harrison wrote about Patti Boyd. I wont spoil it because theres a lot to unpack but its worth diving into.

Eric Clapton unplugged’s version of this song is probably the best. Derek and the Dominos is the non acoustic version which is great as well.

[@pttp5509]

Layla was written about his love for his best friend George Harrison’s wife - the original shows his angst. This is the unplugged version. You’re right, he was silenced for speaking out about the vaccine injury affecting his ability to play. Van Morrison spoke out too - can’t think of anyone else

[@charlesg7937]

Eric is a man with principles and it appears that you are too. You stand above the level of your pears.

[@user-cy5bo6lt8i]

Eric plays this song in several ways this is the slow version and he goes all the way up to 15 now that's a banger

[@ericzeichert511]

Clapton turned 79 at the end of March. This is the thrd version of Layla I have heard. The original, hard, hard rock. Then in 1992 there was an almost elevator music ballad that he created. This one fits neatly in between... a pop rock ballad with attitude. Clapton is one of the original guitar heroes, having appeared with a handful of bands in the 60's and 70's before striking out on his own.

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

"Layla" is Patti Boyd. Go down that rabbit hole of who she was married to before Clapton. And His relationship with who that man was...

In regard to Santana, 1969 Woodstock performance of Soul Sacrifice and later, the Smooth video, featuring Rob Thomas. Both so worth the watch and listen.

[@marcymoran6481]

Eric Clapton wrote Layla and recorded it while in the band Derek and The Dominoes. It’s much faster than this acoustic version and done with electric guitars. It is NOT a cover. Eric was coerced into taking the arm candy by producers and told he would never work again if he didn’t. He wrote a song about his experience called “This Has Gotta Stop”. Where he is playing in this video is Budokan (an arena) in Tokyo, Japan. His full concert is called Live at Budokan. Check out River of Tears live, also Badge when he was with Cream. Also White Room.
