Exactly!!!!! So many people praise SRV, Hendrix, Page, Beck, and EVH who are all legendary guitarists on the same level as Clapton, but Eric gets nothing but hate. I hate to turn music into a competition, but Jimis time here was so short. It was truly impactful but it simply does not have enough evidence that gives him the right to be called infinitely better than everyone else because his body of work is so small (tragically). When you look at Claptons huge body of work, his talent is absolutely undeniable! I'm not saying anyone's better than anyone else, I just wish that music wasn't turned into this sport about who's THE BEST, rather than who do I prefer.

+Connor Burkhardt , I tend to agree with you . Every player is unique , has a touch or style all their own albeit it may be copied from others to some degree . I once said to a friend who is a really good player " I wish I could play as well as You" . He replied that he wasn't better just different . He played in a jazz vein and I grew up playing folk and blues and so my influences were different . That is how it is with these guys . I won't take anything away from Jimi or Stevie Ray either . Their lives were tragically cut short but their genius lives on . And yes , Clapton gets little respect perhaps because he is a survivor . He beat his addictions and carried on at times reinventing himself and his music along the way . Now if someone wishes to compare their hero's to , try Django Reinhardt , the best three fingered guitar player around . He played licks and runs that scare me as well as jazz chords I can't play with all my fingers lol .

It's not even debatable. The Dominos were his peak and crowning achievement. He wasn't a good enough songwriter to sustain this greatness, and of course his addiction didn't exactly help matters. But somehow, he still managed to have an extremely successful solo career. There's a lot of people who are undoubtedly completely unaware of the existence of Derek & The Dominos, Blind Faith, or Cream and think he's the "I shot the sheriff" or "Forever Man" singer.

I saw them in Dallas a month after you did. Cowboy was the opening band. The dominoes were incredible. We saw them in a nice auditorium about the same size crowd as your experience. After Cowboy, my wife and I, on a whim just to see if we could, took our Polaroid camera and walked up to the front and, acting just like we knew what we were doing, climbed down into the empty orchestra pit. We stayed there for the entire set, and not one person ever came and said anything to us. We felt pretty conspicuous being the only ones down there. We felt like any second someone would come and run us off. So we stood for the entire show. At one point we positioned ourselves right below Eric, at his feet which would have been just about even with our foreheads. He could have easily spit on us. As a matter of fact, HE DID! But not in a bad way. He never even looked at us. Not sure if he ever even knew we were there. I believe this was in the days of his heavy heroin use. Now I don't know if there's something about that, that would make him occasionally project small spittles on some words or letters...whatever. But yeah, as he sang, he lightly sprayed us a couple of times. We looked at each other and laughed. Like..."Hey, we got spit on by Eric Clapton!", like that would be silly. But that's my Derek story except for one other thing. I did take one Polaroid picture which, for a Polaroid is decent. Full body view. You can see his "domino" shoes on his feet that are on the cover of the Layla album. If posting images was allowed here I'd post it for ya.

As a serious Hendrix fan (and Seattle native) who worships Jimi, I have to admit that there's a special place in my heart for this band's cover of one his best songs. The version on the "Layla" album is magnificent and one of my favorite songs of all time. Thanks for posting this version, and may the legends of both Jimi and "Derek" live forever!

Don't forget Duane Allman's contributions to the Dominos' version...his solos added such an emotional element, especially given the timing of the recording. I'd always assumed they'd performed the song as a tribute after Jimi's death, but then I read that Eric was eager to play it for Jimi, but never got the chance because Hendrix died before they were able to do the final mix down.

I'm glad the bass comes through on this mix. This was, of course, without Duane Allman. Carl Radle's bass comes through and you can hear why he was a sought-after talent for the studio and the road. Few can claim Carl Radle's career. An original "Oklahoma Cowboy" along with Leon Russell in "The Wrecking Crew" in the 1950's and 60's Hollywood music scene; bassist for countless records you've heard from musicians we all admire. Original bassist for Gary Lewis and the Playboys, The "Mad Dogs and Englishmen" tour with Joe Cocker and Leon; Delaney, Bonnie and Friends; The Concerts for Bangladesh; Derek and the Dominoes; Bassist for Eric Clapton into the mid-70's. The most under-rated bass player of ALL time. Rest in Peace, Carl Radle.

+David Ward ..and to "All Of You "Slowhand" fans" out there that really LOVE Great Guitarist's of the World!"! See what you've done to me "W McPhert & Greg Koch!!" I'm baaaack! Ditto times 1,000 for what you said David! I just don't get it when it comes to "Me or anybody not being able to find anything live by Derek and the Doms??" I always heard they weren't very good "live??" But HOW can those 4 Top level players not sound great even w/out Duane?? Eric's guitar work on "Have You Ever Lvd. a Woman" and others on their 1 and only "Layla" studio alb is some of his finest blues guitar work he's ever done in the studio...period! Eric's version of that song has EC's blues style stamp all over it! From beg. to end! That's the song I always play for people (Usually young) that haven't heard Eric play electric blues because "he was simply on fire that day + he really shows why all the music critics then and esp. now say that EC is 1 of the, if not the greatest "blues and R & B guitarist EVER", although you'll never hear me sayin that only because theirs so so many! Eric C. is my fav and always has been since 1967 ("Beano" album!!) but what about "Guitar Blues Gods" like Gary Moore, SRVaughn, Joe Bonamassa, Eric Johnson (plays some wicked blues!) and maybe 15 more in this Top catagory (But "Only in my opinion.") The day I first heard Gary Moore was in 1984 ("Victims of the Future" Live album!) when nobody ever even heard about him in the US and then 3 yrs later when he released the "Still Go the Blues" LP, it literally scared the pants off me it was so unbelievable! Only the great die young I guess! I've been a Prof. guit's for 45 + yrs so, everytime, which is rare, that I hear someone that is that unbelievably talented and very rare, it's a real treat believe you me!" "Someone new to learn from and listen to!" Also, "look up (Or anyone that see's this!!) a big "6 ft.-9-11 inch" guy from Milwaukee and Fender Guitars main rep that just tours the world and explains all Fenders new stuff w/ his band of course; his name: GREG KOCH!! He's like a combo of Robin Williams on stage mixed w/ a tad bit of Einstein's intelligence for guitar/guitars and has Mastered every style of guitar I can think of! Blues/Hendrix/Clapton are 2 of his fav blues guys, chickenpicken monster ala Brent Mason n Brad Paisley, can play literally ANY Classic rock song note for chord esp. Zeppelin and much better than Jimmy Page EVER was..but lots a bands too and in my opinion he's right up there w/ "The most versatile guitarist I or probably anyone that really knows guitar/guitarist's has ever witnessed and he has 1,000's of vid's online w/ Millions of CHOPS TOO!! (Please "SIR Greg Koch, I'f you read this, please let it go straight to yur fingers, not yur head, (Not that your ego'd out at all, it's just your "musical genius mixed w/ yur unique comedic brain" can cause people to go "MAD!!!" Haha, and strange things can happen so careful out there on the road k!" "I say this cause, well, I know if I or most guitarist's out there could play anything at all like you, or for that matter, if anyone could play all the many styles on your Unreal Level of "Mastery" or "Wizardry", we'd all definitely think very very high of ourselves only because we could go to 99.9% of anywhere on Earth and walk away w/ the that little guitar trophy to fill our 2nd garage full of em!!" But in all seriousness, "Mr Koch is the best thing that's EVER happened to guitarists worldwide that actually still like to learn and laugh simultaniously no matter what level!" And since I've been watching you for the 3rd to 4th yr now, thanks Greg for helping me grow as a plyr. and grow w/ my "My Henny Youngman w/ a touch of Rodney comedy impersonations as well as a "Comedic Physics Professor at MIT!!" "You are w/out a doubt a "One of a Kind Unique Unit", especially a 1 of a kind versatile as hell guitarist without question and I'm sure, a hellova lotta fun to hang with too!" Easily, in my eyes, the Most "Under-Recognized World Guitarist I've ever heard, seen play a couple hundred times minimum that has about 8 albums out and should be making equel pay w/ the Legendary guit's as well as should have with at least 12 Grammy's by now! "And besides being a guitar virtuoso, a funny SOB and extremely knowledgeable Music and Musical Instruments guy Greg's also got a great original voice for doin the talkin thang and the singin thang as well so, "Check him out and you won't be 1 bit dissapointed you did at all!" Even just on his website where all his FREE Music stuff is! Spotify has all his albums as well!! Now for that $10 bucks you promised me Greg?? Later to all!

In 1969 Eric did a grand opening for a clothing store in a small suburb north of Chicago called Skokie. Dave Mason was there along with Delaney and Bonnie, Bobby Whitlock and a few others. They played for a small crowd outside in the back alley of the store. I was fortunate enough to get inside the store and met Eric. Although I can't tell you what we talked about but I remember being stunned standing next to him as he picked out some clothing. Also don't remember any conversation for the fact that my mind was completely altered. LOL. Luckily I got a few pics of the event, still have them but not the negatives, although they're quite faded by now. If anyone wants to check out a website to see some conversations of the day and pictures of the event go here. news.wttw.com/2013/09/16/guitar-god-comes-skokie My pics are down towards the bottom, click on more to see them all.

Thank you for this gift, Wilson - clearly a labor of love. It's a shame that the responses to so many generous musical offerings in this commons we have here quickly devolve into testosterone-stoked bickering about guitar-related hardware, or similarly extraneous trivialities. This recording is a treasure for those interested. The way the vocals were captured, as you note, is a beautiful fluke of history. You attended that performance in October, then the record was released in November. I wish I'd been paying attention at the time, but had only recently started recording my age with two digits. I'm surprised to hear that this was a notably loud performance. I remember reading an account from a visitor to the studio at this time, and he was struck by how low the low volume of the monitors was, which I assumed was intended to encourage subtle playing. Performance is something else, though. OK - I'm gonna listen to this again.

Yes, they were loud but it could also be that the venue where I saw them (Lisner Auditorium) was not as big as some of the cavernous venues I saw other bands in, such as the Baltimore Civic Center.
