The greatest "Layla" by Eric Clapton.. EVER !

[@karenreardon5398]

There are no words that can adequately describe how great this man is in the music industry. This song still sends me reelin every time I hear it and I'm 66 years old.😎👍❤️

[@seanmcdermott70]

Me too 66,and this is very special,just gets better and better.🎼👍🍹🇨🇮

[@johnnyraider]

WELL SAID MA'AM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@stevenvassalli2408]

Duane Allman wrote & played the lead on this great song, including the most popular opening riff.

[@albertschepis]

Not only was this a supreme performance, but you can tell that Eric was really into it. He was beaming and just really in the zone.

[@lojoman16]

"LOVE YOU DUANE" Layla will never be the same without you.

[@JLH1956]

It was Duane's song, and Eric Clapton honors Duane every time he plays it.

[@BigCJFan]

In my humble opinion, the greatest guitarist to have ever lived.

[@cravinbob]

Possible but it ain't over yet.

[@kerrymcmanus9188]

Yes' he still is.

[@lindabergman3127]

BigCJFan agreed100%

[@lindabergman3127]

BigCJFan dire straits next then zz top n Joe bonamassa

[@rodables4575]

Absolutely

[@hillarymack3207]

Oh My God ! That was so excellent ! ! Listening to this song since 1973. Never gets old.

[@johnnyraider]

WELL SAID HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TOO BAD YER PARENTS GAVE U THE SAME NAME THE OTHER HILLARY WHO LOST TO THE DORK - TRUMP. IF I KNEW WHAT GOOMBA HE WAS - I WOULDA VOTED FOR HER. I KNOW - LETS GET TRUMP AND PUKIN IN A RING FOR A DEATH MATCH WHERE THE BOTH DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OR WE BREAK INTO A NAT GUARD WAREHOUSE AND GET MACHINE GUNS TO WHACK THEM - THE COW TURDS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@domenicmonteferrante843]

This is a great version, but nothing beats the original studio version - it remains the authentic Masterpiece, a great love song.

[@dlambert6139]

In case it needs said, it's not "just" Clapton's awesome technique, it's as much his lyrical, beautiful improvisations that make him a legend!

[@JLH1956]

Again this is the best because Eric himself is smiling while playing. He is into this. But there are so many versions even by Eric to say which one is the absolute, because they have captivated me all the way back since he played with Duane. Royal Albert Hall was a great rendition. Let's just say that Eric Clapton is by far one of the best in rock and roll history. Top Shelf kind of musician!

[@vibrationtherapy7296]

This gave me the chills. I am Twenty Three but I am still blessed to experience artists like Clapton, Hendrix, The Beatles, and countless other classic music creators... Oh yea and Pink Floyd haha

[@markmercer3907]

You know how moments lock in your mind forever. Every time I hear this song I think of summer vacation time in High School heading to the beach in a friends beat up old car having the time of my life. The song was being played a lot on FM and I was 16 at the time. Great songs make great bookmarks in life.

[@yepper1165]

I agree. I think a lot of songs stay as favorites of our because of the memories that are attached to them.

[@natesmith5493]

I think of guy and his wife getting whacked in the pink caddy in goodfellas

[@michaelmccormick6657]

No one, and I mean no one will play like this man. He's the greatest guitarist of this century.

[@HotMustangsally]

Appreciation of music is subjective. I am a die-hard Clapton fan and one of the greatest privileges I've ever experienced was seeing Eric, Andy, Nathan, Steve and Dave perform in Toronto a few years ago. Unbelievable!!! That said it is unfair to expect everybody else to enjoy the same brand of music as me. I don't understand why somebody who dislikes a song would spend several minutes listening to it in the first place. If you don't like it, move on and let those who do share the beauty.

[@leerisner1367]

A few minutes can change minds...

[@aosseily]

This has a soulfull-ness to it. By this time in his life he got Layla and lost her again.

[@georgeslaght6988]

Look at the years he has been around and look at the Music he has put out. He has to be one of best we have ever seen. Thank You Eric Clapton.

[@YaoEspirito]

Forget Eric; could you have a more desirable bassist than Nathan East? He's solid gold! He can play anything, and renders everything tastefully, tonefully, with passion and spirit.

[@jupitorious7925]

Totally..

[@rexwave4624]

I’m bummed that he didn’t play the original bass line or even acknowledge it.

[@georgethomas519]

He elevated everybody on that stage no doubt and the crowd just made it that much sweeter. Hes way ahead of his time I'm still waiting for somebody to kickstart that era so we can relive it all over again

[@mikehand9698]

Eric Clapton - Layla - Best ever - Takes me back to the 70's great song !

[@3rddrum]

Eric doing Layla=always great, sometimes genius, never bad. This one= MAGIC!

[@martythetickler]

This certainly has the best solo I've ever heard him play.

[@danaroy8596]

This song never disappoints. Every version I have heard him play is amazing. The solo section in this version is so vibrant and energetic. I got to go to one of his concerts in Toronto years ago. My only regret was not being able to get tickets closer to the stage. It was an experience.

[@godricmudblood]

Clapton once said that layla was a labour of love. For me its the greatest because it’s an honest song about being drunken in love. This song gives u that. If you’ve been in love, and that love turning you into a madman then you’ll get this song.

[@wimsele]

Well said, thank you for that.

[@pwalker71]

There are times I feel so damned lucky to have been here to hear the greatest musicians of any era. Guitarists like, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, David Gilmore, Ritchie Blackmore, Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck will live forever in the annals of not only rock, but music history. Name three current new age musicians who can hold a candle to any of the greats mentioned. You can't, its just that simple. That is not to say that there aren't many excellent guitarists today, but they just cant compare.

[@donnastitz1497]

THIS SONG ROCKS MY WORLD. & I AGREE, THIS JUST MAY BE THE BEST VERSION EVER. I KEEP COMING BACK 4 MORE & GOOD MORNING FELLOW FANS :)

[@solarguy1702]

Totally believing that this was the best rendition ever, I cranked it up to let my neighbors here in the Philippines hear what real music is like. Thanks for the post!

[@taylorco64]

The outro to Layla is probably my favorite piece of music

[@alisonedwards63]

this is one of the best or not the best live video of Layla live. you can see the energy in the band. .

[@sisterearthful]

Eric Clapton, I've always adored you and this magnificent song. Brings me so many awesome memories. Keep on Rocking

[@sisterearthful]

I love the way Eric Clapton starts this song with his classic riffs, then at the song, the tempo slows down.

[@sisterearthful]

Thanks for taking your time in reading how much I adored Eric Clapton. As I kept reading, I just realized that I was madly in love with all these super rock stars? I want them and I love them all! hahahaha

[@sisterearthful]

Dang Hippie That's so true...I use to be madly in love with Eric Clapton because of his talents and the way he plays his guitar. This song will go on forever!

[@sisterearthful]

This song always reminds me of my friends and I, when we use to hang out and listen to Eric Clapton sing the song Layla. We loved him and this song, Great song with a lot of many wonderful memories.,

[@weedenv]

One of the greatest Layla performances....The best.....that is debatable.....The Slow Hand played with Duane Allman and the other Dominos many, many times...however, it is fun to argue what is the greatest....just seeing this performed live "back in the day" has added much joy to my life! Thank you..

[@aw-em2pc]

Eric is one of the best guitar players in the music business.

[@Ken77114]

I will never forget jumping in my BMW and heading from Santa Cruz to the Cow Palace and watching one of the worlds greatest guitarists put on a show to race your heart. Thank you, Eric, for Layla, and for years of the finest guitar work ever to enter my ears and soul! We are getting grey, but it still smokes!

[@cravinbob]

BMW? Poser?

[@KenNiemmanhemindae]

Flashback to the '70s......i love,love,love it !!!!

[@KenNiemmanhemindae]

GREATEST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@tonimckee8926]

Eric Clapton can play it anyway he pleases and I love it that he puts his heart and soul into it anyway you put it GREAT to me sucked back version to me!

[@alaskacanoe6837]

Layla Written for and about Patti Boyd, I can only imagine the multitude of emotions Eric transfers thru his instrument..

[@THUGALOT22]

Have had the pure pleasure of seeing Mr Clapton four times and each time he has hidden or disguised the intros to keep the audiences guessin!! This man is sooo talented god blessed us with this man!!!

[@glennejames2855]

Everyone keep fighting. I'll just listen to a great song

[@gilkenson53]

"Layla"... Still my #1favorite LP since 1971... I am 61 now, and still listen to this whole LP one a week... Duane and Eric... Once in a life time recording...

[@drblaney22]

the prelude to Layla on this piece is the bomb

[@r.j.valdez9088]

The original is still the best. I still remember the first time I heard "Layla" as an airman stationed in England, RAF Upper Heyford, Oxon. It totally altered love songs forever. Bravo Derek and the Domino's.

[@xVirtualPsychox]

Loved how the dude jumped at around 0:45 He was like, "oh shit- OH HELL YEAH!"

[@donnastitz1497]

Big Daddy Murdoc AND HE WAS FUNNY ;)

[@KludgeMaker]

The Witch-King of Angmar That was the bass player, and I think it is pretty obvious he was surprised. I think Eric stepped away from the script there (OK, songlist). Spent ~30 yrs as a street-level drummer, and been surprised like that many times. Great to see it happening at that level, too. :)

[@Jorel032777]

***** Such an underrated bassist also.

[@rogertayloRRR]

What year was this concert at msg?

[@bgw316]

+rogertayloRRR 99'.

[@hybridlionable]

I can respect that. Anyone who says they want more soul in a blues/soul song just means you want it to be deeper to you. Nothing wrong with that.

[@cellofingers]

How many times can you listen to this song without getting tired of it? Answer.never!

[@529Reno]

This was the best "live" Layla ever. I heard him play this live quite a few times. Yep, the best is right here

[@MrBillyrosewood]

As Carlos Santana once said "there are no superlatives to describe Eric Clapton" Many artists must go through him to find themselves. Great version of Layla done in one of the premier concert halls of the world.

[@alesterfreeman542]

Classy and professional. Clapton has that "je ne sais pas quoi" about him in a suave kind of way. A golden performance by a brilliant front man and his crew of stellar musicians. Great post!

[@Alicat88]

Great clip and Eric is without equal, but there is not Layla without the weeping slide of Duane Allman. He put the emotion we all feel in that song. Best rock song ever!

[@billgross2097]

Saw Eric probably 15 times in person. Always a great show! A true rock legend!

[@leighluongo1841]

In my mind they greatest love song ever written. The guitar just cries for her.

[@dianedrago6609]

What an Amazing performance by Eric and his band. The guitar solo itself was absolutely Awesome!

[@JimReaper24]

i love the way he springs it on the audience for their reaction

[@thomashthompson4681]

Best Layla for me was at Live Aid, 1985, with Jamie Oldaker and Phil Collins on drums, Duck Dunn on bass, and Chris Stainton on the keyboards. Spectacular!

OK sldc, understood what you want me to do with my life of old loves and lies get fresh perspective on the way to get it done by then I would like to see you tomorrow morning and evening and the other hand transition yourself to knees and send supplications to moi as D POWER KNOWS what I need to know lalalalalala the same thing as layla comforts of home.

What I really like is how the bassist jumped on the opening riff. ;) Is like Eric sprung the song on the band... Fact is he did ... may have been in the band's set lists but not at the spot, can see the piano player and drummer were a slight surprised too.

[@RevRandyGarage]

Let there be controversy over this bit with a powerful yet emotional solo like that Clapton truly is the best guitarist who has ever lived he even beat out Hendrix in my book and if you think I'm nuts hit replay!

[@gerardoerak]

Absolutely, the greatest version of "layla" is the original version. With Mr. D. Allman (r.i.p.) and with the gorgeous "piano ending".

[@janwhite9381]

Can u send it to me pls

[@billyboy1093]

RIP Skydog!

[@davidecuccia1669]

Boy, you're not kidding ...this is by far the best version!

[@anitamcclain3078]

Phenomenal guitar player. He cant be touched & I've been listening to Eric Clapton for 40years. And he's just as phenomenal now as he ever was.

[@rbuchholz]

[@jtbjtb8417]

I took my 12 year old son to see Eric at Madison Square Garden in '98 and after Layla he was hooked. Worth the flight and the expense.

[@jblcva]

The original with DUANE ALLMAN BLOWS THIS AWAY.. Sky Dog Allman..Still nobody can duplicate his slide playing.. All about touch my man..Duane played notes that were off the scale..And Eric..

[@georgerism]

ABSOLUTELY

[@sisterearthful]

Eric sings with so much emotion, it blows me away. His different guitar riffs are amazing. I noticed Mark and all the other talented musicians on stage with him.

[@nitehwk88]

EPIC Clapton!

[@rmp0012002]

It's cool that he's just playing around with the clean tone and you feel the power of the amps come up when he turns up the volume. Not a huge Clapton fan but there are not many intros that give that chill.

[@baird5776mullet]

The original with Dwayne Allman will NEVER be beat.

[@brian58769]

After growing with this timeless art gift given to me by my late brother Craig, I was totally oblivious when I walked into Criteria recording studio, N. Miami for audio engineering school sitting down in the same control room where this was first mastered. I was way beyond shock..learning that the ending was not made until 1 year after the song was made. I was 10 when it came out not having any idea of the history I would come to learn how surreal reality can be

[@kelseyclark9510]

Who cares ! This is brilliant !!❤️❤️❤️😀

[@BackyardRambo]

No shit... too much jibber jabber...This IS an epic version.

[@leehackett1614]

The best I've seen is of Clapton with a multicoloured guitar (can't recall which show but the solo nearly had me in tears) By far the greatest guitarist to ever have lived

[@justafanintexas7913]

That would be the special edition "Antigua" guitar he occasionally plays now, or if you mean the older one that would be the Rainbow Gibson he gifted to Todd Rundgren?

[@mikeroby1313]

Hiya, Juan--"Layla", "A Day in the Life", and "Can't You Hear Me Knockin'. ". Each is an example of a band member with a strong tune but no idea of how they wanted to end it. In collaboration with a band mate or a producer, each song was made many times more than the sum of it's parts. They're brilliant.

[@jimvalko6044]

Even after all these years, those guitar licks at the very beginning of the song almost bring tears to my eyes.

[@hotwheel6663]

It can't be greatest without Allman.

[@Shereeee45]

+Johnny Yum You said it best...

[@donnastitz1497]

+Johnny Yum well I gotta say, " this version is not too shabby." But I'd LOVE to see it live w Allman. Can U please tell me where to find the Greatest version U all R talking about ? I really want to check it out.....thank U :)

[@Shereeee45]

+donna stitz The "greatest version" is on Derek and the Domios on the album" Layla and other assorted love songs"...Or just search youtube..for LAYLA with Duane. There is a live recording with Duane, but it's only audio, and no visual...THAT'S THE BUMMER of it all. Just look for Layla live with Duane and you will find it I'm sure. Hope this helps.

[@donnastitz1497]

+MsFancy Pants thank U 4 your reply. I did do that. The ones that came up were not good audio at all. I'll look some more. But I just can't find any version that sounds as great as this. I think this version is perfection :) Just my personal opinion!

[@speckledone8899]

I think the live versions by Eric with the Derek Trucks iteration of the Allman Brothers is the best that I've heard.

[@trevormccarthy5920]

How did ANYONE dislike this? HOW IS IT POSSIBLE? This was glorious!

[@tommack9395]

Derek and the Dominos... is hind-sight. EC was in England, he had just left Blind Faith in 1970 when Bobby, Carl and Jim from Delaney & Bonnie called him up... They form a band add in Duane go into the studio and produce this lp. They tour it just once - and had light reception - I think is because people expected blues jams rather than songs with a tight structure. Most of the material Clapton came up with on the lp was about Patty Boyd - Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad, I am yours... Bell Bottom Blues, lol was because Patty asked Eric to get her some bell-bottoms while he was in the states. So, Duane was asked to put in more effort in the band and he said he can't do it - stays with the Allmans. By '71 the band falls apart, Duane dies. the band splits... and Eric pretty much takes off for three years. In late '72 some college stations pick up the lp and start playing it... before you know it, it's played all over the place. The song Eric wrote, Duane came up with the intro and chorus riff and Jimmy with his girlfriend(Rita Coolidge) the end.

[@geneobrien8907]

One correction: it was the AM stations that picked up on the song 1-2 years after the album’s release. The college stations as well as the FM stations had been playing the album since it was first released. As with the Moody’s Nights In White Satin, Cream’s Sunshine Of Your Love and other album cuts from the late 60’s & early 70’s, they received AM airplay long after their respective album’s were issued. AM radio and the general population was way behind the curve.

[@cravinbob]

If Duane had not gotten involved the LP may never have happened either!

[@mattf49006]

correction...Duane asked if he could watch a session after Clapton saw the Allman Bros play a free concert in Miami in aug/1970...Clapton said only if you come and play.. invited him to jam and through that he helped add the intro to Layla....Greg Allman relates the events in his autobiography

[@cravinbob]

Matt Foster On page 80 Guitar player magazine Duane is quoted as to how "Layla" album and his involvement came about. Clapton himself was interviewed at some point elsewhere and he also wrote about the sessions. He had stated they were not getting anything done and going nowhere. No motivation. Then they went to see the Allmans perform and that is when Eric jumped on the opportunity to have Duane sit in on a song or two. That is all Duane intended as well but Duane was there for most it. We all have to realize that our memories are not as accurate as we think. The closer to the event the better the memory but time changes things. Gregg remembers but although he was part of the history his recollections are, as anyone else's will be, influenced by attitude and opinion. It is normal and natural. An example that I was witness to was the final Hendrix Experience show. I saw what I saw and Noel Redding was there of course but his memory of the final song and stage exit was inaccurate. I was a few feet away but I was not busy playing bass and being miffed at Jimi for not telling me I was going to be fired! I can say that I do not remember what he was wearing until some photos surfaced recently but being there was huge moment for me. Bottom line is what we are told may have basis in truth but it is not always accurate. "Eyewitness news" is a phrase that makes me laugh to myself whenever I hear it!

[@cravinbob6774]

[@rogermoore7140]

Yes, the look of faux surprise on bassist Nathan East's face is pure delight.

[@kutzbill]

What's funny to me is that Eric did not play lead on the original "Layla", Duane Allman did. Eric wrote the song, but it was Duane that came up with the fast lead.

Clapton. No first name needed. Just Clapton. And Layla. One of rocks greatest songs ever.

[@jimreasoner5577]

Some people say that Jimmy Hendrix is the best player ever. Many of us claim that Eric Clapton is the best! They are both extremely talented artists and I for one don't want to compare apples to oranges. Both have unique styles and I prefer Eric Clapton's style. However I wound never give up an opportunity to go to the past and listen to the late/great Jimmy Hendrix.

[@pigsrock93]

Well Jimi only had four years of performance, while Eric had a ton more since he is 80 years old today. I still can't imagine Jimi Hendrix playing now, wish he was still alive today, gosh I wonder what kinds of things he could have created.

[@donnastitz1497]

+Jim Reasoner I agree......I totally GET the great amazing talent of Jimmy Hendrix. But It's apples & oranges. I prefer Eric Clapton as the greatest lead player of all times. Also I can't leave out George Harrison , Keith Richards, & of course , Chuck Berry !!!!!!!!

[@peterf.229]

its easy, Jimmy Page is the best ;)

[@1984hereweare]

The HUGE difference is that Jimi Hendrix NEVER had a music lesson and played the guitar, upside down and backwards, for only 12 years. He had to take a year off while in Vietnam, so he was a musician for 13 years. I challenge anyone alive today to do that. So, while I agree that Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page are exceptional guitarists, and I love both of their music, I think that Jimi Hendrix truly had a gift from God and EXCEPTIONAL talent (so do Page and Clapton). I try to play the guitar to this day, and if I had started at age zero, with music lessons every day, I never would have anywhere near the talent that Hendrix possessed in his very short career, and I am guessing that no one else on this thread would either. I am 52 years old. What Jimi had truly was a gift from God. Too bad that God wanted him back so soon, if only for entertainment ;-) If you are only listening to the albums published while Jimi was alive (which are basically trash compared to his true talent), I strongly suggest that you look into the albums that recently (last 5 years or so ) have been published by the estate. Martin Scorsese also has published a great condensation of Jimi's real work; a great album that will make you truly appreciate this genius' work. He truly was a very gifted musician, even with no formal training. Something to look into.

[@DavidSmith-ss1cg]

I agree with you that Hendrix was an exceptional talent, and musical contemporaries all agree Jimi was connected almost directly to God - he was endlessly inventive and resourceful - and, he worked hard at it. I must disagree with some of what you say; Hendrix never participated in America's adventure in Vietnam. It is also very wrong to call his recordings in his lifetime "basically trash" because much of the "buried treasure" output(found after his unfortunate demise) was nowhere near as good(there was flashes of brilliance, but none of the focus) and some was even remixed with other musicians added later.

[@lorihill3531]

I haven’t read all the comments, but I loved, loved, loved this! Made me tear up. While it is a slightly older version than the original, how beautiful. We get it a little more as we grow older, and I think that’s reflected in this video. Love it. Not reading any other posts.

The song requires Duane Allman, without him it is something different. Derek and Dominoes version will always be the best.

I will agree with you on that. But Eric seems to honor Duane every time he playes it.

UNBELIEVABLE THE GREATEST!! NOT ONLY THE GREATEST GUITAR PLAYER WHAT A HUMAN BEING THIS MAN IS! THESE TREATMENT CENTERS THAT HE HAS OPENED UP FOR PEOPLE THAT STRUGGLE WITH SUBSTANCE ISSUES ALL PAID FOR BY HIM SO THESE PEOPLE CAN GET THEMSELVES RIGHT AT HIS EXPENSE PROBLEMS ALL THE CHARITIES REACHING OUT TO THE MUSIC COMMUNITY FOR HELP IN THESE CAUSES AND ALSO NOT HAVING SUCH A BIG HEAD YEAH THEY CALLED THEM GOD FOR A REASON BUT HE NEVER TOOK IT THAT WAY HAVING OTHER MUSICIANS AND VOCALISTS PLAY ALONG WITH HIM SO THEY COULD SHOW OFF THEIR TALENTS AND ALL OF IT IS SO PERFECTLY EXECUTED A TRUE PERFECTIONIST!! I JUST SAW A CONCERT THAT HE DID THIS LAST SEPTEMBER 17TH IN HOUSTON AT 77 YEARS OLD UNBELIEVABLE THIS GUY IS NEVER LOST ONE STEP HE LOVES HIS CRAFT HIS PASSION AND THOSE GUITARS AND THAT VOICE VERY POWERFUL VERY POWERFUL!!🎸🎶🎤🎸🎤🥁🎼🎇🎸🎸🎇

[@Mike383HK]

I'll never forget when I was a kid, maybe 14 or 15 watching the Johnny Cash show. I saw Duane Allman blow Eric off the stage and Eric blow Carl Perkins off the stage. As better that Eric was over Perkins, Allman was over Clapton. I didn't know anything about him until that night. I'll never forget it. And they were all great!!

Great live version of this song. Clapton is probably the only artist that has many versions of the same song. Others play the same thing exactly each time.

God, what a sexy song!

This is a great song that was played to death in the 70's to the point where, at that time, I was going to vomit if I had to hear it one more time. Now, it brings back good memories and this is a good rendition of it. Glad to see that Clapton survived to have a long career. The man has been through a lot.

Being a Leila but always called Layla and going out at the time with a Derek I have loved this song the whole of my life.

[@tyrssen1]

Liked this one well enough, hated the slower version he insisted on doing forever after, and still like the studio version of this one, the best. Just a personal preference.

[@vazmo14850]

+Seth Tyrssen the studio of course has bobby whitlock playing the second hal!

[@drumdad54sdl47]

I agree, Seth. I never cared for the "lounge lizard" unplugged version.

Eric, The beast song , ever!!!!!! Listened to it day and night in college and danced to it a frat parties!! So sexy!! I wish I could go back in time for this one!!!:):):) THANK YOU!!!!!!

the best LAYLA is Derek and the Dominoes original recording...

[@suz1962]

Thanks for that. I saw him with Buddy Guy just walking onto stage in Chicago. It was almost better than Zeppelin in '76.
