Until Jimi. If you look at this video Eric starts the initial riff but once he starts singing it is played by another guitar. Jimi only had his guitar and a bass. He played the lead guitar full time. Eric is still one of the best.
Can't think of many times he didn't slay with his fretwork, from John Mayall's Bluebreakers (Clapton is God graffiti around London), to Cream, to Blind Faith, to Delaney, Bonnie & Friends, to Solo work always been "Slow Hand" (tongue in cheek).
@@malcolmrayner6674 I have and enjoyed listening to Tony Emaanuel. So many great guitarists, but to me the master is Andres Segovia. During a piece one time he made a mistake few if any would have noticed, he stopped apologized, saying I have made a mistake to audience and replayed the piece from the beginning. Mastery and integrity.
The legendary Eric Clapton playing his most legendary song. When he decides to turn it loose, jaws STILL drop. He's well over 70 now, and he can still nail it like he's twenty something. Wow!
That bass player of his is still with him. Just saw Eric in Nashville in Sept 2021. His bass player still looks star struck when Eric gets into his solos. Still amazing!!
@@markhaus2830 so cool! Yes it was an amazing show! That was my 2nd time seeing him. I'm in Kentucky and I saw him in Indianapolis,IN in 2001. Fantastic concert!
I saw Eric "GOD" Clapton at the Carrier Dome in N.Y. AWESOME. we thought the walls wills come down with the Bass and Drums behind Eric's incredible guitar work.
The rockin’ Layla was original version as per Derek & The Dominoes album. The acoustic came much later from a MTV Unplugged special. Mate, Clapton has been slaying since the early 60s. Try some Cream.
One of the most recognizable opening riffs in rock. When I heard this back in the seventies I'd crank that radio all the way up! Great choice of video too, the bass player jumping back as Clapton starts the intro is priceless.
I grew up on Clapton, my dad took me to go seen him when I was six. It was my first concert, I'll never forget it. For me, the two most iconic Clapton songs are Layla and The White Room.
This is the most beautiful version of this song I've seen and to watch it with two beautiful people. My morning is tuned and looking forward to the day.
Clapton knew exactly who he wanted on the Derek and the Dominos sessions--Duane Allman. He asked for him, and got him. On the original, the two guitarists are so intertwined that it's hard to separate them.
I'm so glad that the younger generation is appreciating classic rock songs like Layla. Sir Eric Clapton is the best. I've seen him in concert 4 times and he never fails to be awesome.
Nathan East phenomenal bassist, Clapton can absolutely slay on the guitar, Badge White Room, After Midnight, check out Clapton and Pavarotti "Holy Mother'
First song I learned on guitar in 1998 (14 years old). fast forward to 2011 My first born Daughter, her name is Layla. this song is very special to me.
I loved Eric, still do of course ❤ he is just a really genuine, lovely down to earth, unassuming guy with a bucket load of talent who was the "musicians" guitarist..the most heartbreaking song you will ever hear is Tears in Heaven..😪 he wrote that off the back of an horrendous tragedy when his little boy Conor aged 4 fell 50 floors from a apartment window in New York 😪 my heart broke for him and his wife. I have much love and respect for Clapton, he, like Floyd, Genesis, ELO Supertramp and the rest where an integral part of my teens in the 70s...❤
Eric Clapton and Duane Allman on the same album. It was Duane Allman who amped this up from the original slower quieter concept...hIs power chords , soloing and slide guitar work in the original studio cut is unparalleled and cant be duplicated...RIP Duanne
Awesome guys !! I am going to see Eric Clapton live next Tuesday Sept. 21, 2021 at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville TN. I can't wait ! This will be my 4th Time seeing him live. Always fantastic !!!!!! The first time was in 1977.
Strongly, highly, recommend 'Bell Bottom Blues' by Derek(Eric) and the Dominoes...from same album. The most beautiful, heartachingly felt love song ever, sung by him. His voice. The instruments. The lyrics. THE FEELING...
Playing rhythm guitar for Eric would be such an honor. This song is great, I mean GREAT!!!!!!!!!!! Layla ease my worried mind. EPIC is a great word for this video... epic song and video.... Eric is a master of his craft.... For sure and for certain!!! This is great. Well how about it you all, are you two hooked?????? This song will last forever!! I so enjoy you all channel, thanks. Rock on.................
Such a classic Clapton song. Great reaction, both of you! FYI, The Warning just dropped their official video for their contribution to Metallica's Blacklist album celebrating the Black album's 30th anniversary (all profits going to charity). They've remade Enter Sandman with guest vocalist Alessia Cara.
Fun Fact.....on the album recording of this song, Duane Allman came up with the opening riff and played lead with Clapton. He also played on the outdo. For the album LAYLA Allman played lead and slide guitar on 11 out of the 14 songs on it.
That dude keeps mellowing to perfection. Dom Perignon, 1921 level of quality. Temperature, humidity and storage tilted exactly as it should be stored. And I'm sipping this in.
You didn't know he jammed like that??? He was the original solo monster from the late 60s early 70s, to the extent that fans called him God and detractors created punk rock, along with the "bullsh*t solo". He was known for endless solos back then*, mostly because fans demanded them, not necessarily because he wanted to, so he said in his autobiography. I have heard him rocking out like Stevie Ray Vaughn in tapes from the 60's, so he's the real deal. * The Onion had a headline: "Clapton Solo Enters third Day" lol
@@jessicakoster2543 Indeed. The only reason Jimmy went to UK was to meet Clapton, because he was a big fan of Cream, and there´s several videos of EC talking fondly about JH.
I love this song i do wonder why that bass player jumped backwards for surely he reherst this song so he must have known when the song started but it is a epic song never the less
Probably the most iconic intros of all time, was produced by Duane Allman. Before Clapton asked Duane to play on the album, it did not have those 7 iconic notes.
You just watched one of the top 3 guitarist of all times give you a solo of epic proportions. The only 3 time inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. His work with Yardbirds, Cream and Solo. He is a true legend since the mid 60s. I have seen him in concert 4 times. I have seen him bring a stadium to their feet standing alone in overalls, barefoot not moving anything but his hands. You should go watch his guitar invitational concerts "Crossroads" with all the greatest showing up. Take the journey and you will see what I speak. Be safe, have fun
eric clapton will absolutely never be matched in terms of guitar and maybe even vocals, the guy had every tool to become one of the legends of the last 50 years
Layla is a reference to a persian folk tale about a peasant that falls in love with a princess who isn't allowed to marry him. The song is them falling in love, the solo is them running away, and the piano break is them finally getting to be happy together. In reality, Eric is the peasant boy and Layla is Patty Boyd, who he couldnt have because she was married to his best friend George Harrison of the Beatles at the time Eric wrote the song
Eric Clapton has been at the top of my favorite guitarist for a very long time. People like him and Carlos Santana and Jimmy Page are the cream of the crop. Thanks for your reaction, love you two ✌️♥️
Layla was a Indian book about a man who falls in love with his best friend's wife. In Clapton's case he fell in love with Pattie Boyd, George Harrison's wife.
Written about Beatle, George Harrisons wife which Clapton won over (seen him twice), the Piano part came from Claptons Piano player. Eric went in to the recording studio one night to pick something up and found the guy secretly recording on Erics time, Clapton loved the piece so much he made him a deal, he could keep on recording if Clapton could use the Piano piece on Layla,,,
NO you all, I clicked on it on this video on purpose.. My great niece a two year old's name is Layla. Darn good name and a killer song & video. This song is one of the reasons Eric is in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 3 times. Yes count it three times. There is a lot of talent up on that stage!! Are you two familiar with the work of the band "Cream" and of "Blind Faith"? Check 'em out , you will NOT be sorry. I can not wait until Layla gets big and old enough that she can see & hear these works of art. WAS that the best ever???
Layla " is a song written by Eric Clapton and Jim Gordon, originally released by their blues rock band Derek and the Dominos, as the thirteenth track from their only studio album, Layla
Crazy that the lead guitar part of this song, one that the Guitar God is most known for was written and originally performed by Duane Allman. Go figure.
Son of a gun, this man can play a guitar! What an entertainer. I am so glad he is sober now. Otherwise he may have OD'ed long ago, His vocals on this track are tight. A master!!!! May I suggest you locate and watch Eric's "Old Love". The one at Hyde Park is special.... Please check it out. How about it you two, was that great or what??? Slow Hand has still got it!
First thought when I hear this song is 1- Wrote it for Love of his life Patty Boyd aka George Harrison’s Wife and then Flash to the Scene in Goodfellas where it shows all involved in Airport Heist Dead in various ways! Good tunes🎉
with the original album Layla, Derek and the Dominos Eric is accompanied by Duane Allman (Allman Brothers band )on slide guitar slide guitar. you can really heard Duane's great slide work toward the end of the song
4 LEGENDARY NOTES and you know what’s coming. Awesome Clapton! And this is why Hendrix asked Clapton to tune his guitar when he had played it out of tune. Truth.
There is a GOAT list of legendary guitarists: Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimmy Page, BB King, Eddie Van Halen, Jeff Beck and Clapton. Probably more than I have left out at this moment.
You must have heard the successful unplugged version of Layla. This is its original form. Eric and Duane Allman of the Allman Brothers played on it with Eric's band Derek and the Dominos. If you want more Eric slaying it then check out his early days with Cream and Sunshine of Your Love, White Room or blues guitar with John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers featuring Eric Clapton. Crea, Blind Faith and Derek and the Dominos are the bands that Eric was considered one of the all time best. After rehab, he went solo and mellowed a bit, but there were still many killer songs on his solo albums.
When I think about the fact that Eric played the the same band that started the careers of Jimmy Page and the legendary Jeff Beck.All three rated in the top five of the best guitarists of all time by Rolling Stone magazine. Impressive I would say.
Little backstory. This wasn't on the playlist for the night. That's why the band isn't sure what's going on in the beginning. Until he cranks out the opening riff. That's how you keep your band on their toes

"Clapton is God" was spray painted on a wall in London in 1965. Thanks for the great review, I love seeing young folk appreciating real rock.
"Peter Green is better than God" was the response

Didn’t know Clapton slayed like that😱Clapton is one of the 5 greatest guitarist in history
5? XD Es el GOD-DIOS por un motivo... es algo superior, el número 1 sin lugar a dudas
Did you not know who he was?
Mark Knopfler is better 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
@@shanemurphy8682 that is an opinion I don’t agree but you are certainly entitled to it
Eric Clapton...Ginger Baker.....Jack Bruce........CREAM!!!....simply ace!!!🤩
Eric Clapton is god of the guitar he can make it scream laugh cry sing cuss and weep! Live he is awe inspiring and really cus sick!
Clapton has to be one of the best live performers ever
I saw Eric "GOD" Clapton at the Carrier Dome in N.Y. AWESOME. we thought the walls wills come down with the Bass and Drums behind Eric's incredible guitar work.

I worshiped Eric Clapton when I was in high school and I continue following Eric throughout my adulthood and mature right along with his growth.
I grew up on Clapton, my dad took me to go seen him when I was six. It was my first concert, I'll never forget it.
For me, the two most iconic Clapton songs are Layla and The White Room.
One of the greatest musicians on the planet and a legendary love song! ❤️
the other guitarist on the Fender strat is Andy Fairweather-Low who was a lead vocalist in the early 70's with a big UK 'pop' band Amen Corner
Was just about to post the same info, ta!
This is the most beautiful version of this song I've seen and to watch it with two beautiful people. My morning is tuned and looking forward to the day.
Best guitarist of all time, Eric Clapton!!!

Eric released an unplugged album early 90’s which included an acoustic version of Layla. That’s probably the one floating around in your head

He was one time friend of George Harrison he fell in love with Harrison’s wife patty layla was his nickname for her and the song is a love letter
Clapton always surrounds himself with great musicians. Check out the 1986 Eric Clapton and Friends version.
Bravo!!!! This was super great. Thank you ALL!
Probably the most iconic intros of all time, was produced by Duane Allman. Before Clapton asked Duane to play on the album, it did not have those 7 iconic notes.
The ending is the most beautiful part of a song ever
The background is electric and the man's name is Andy Fairweather. The black guy playing is Nathan East.
You need to hear "little wings " from this Eric Clapton and friends concert with Cheryl Crow!! It is an outstanding version!
When Eddie Van Halen was asked who influenced him when learning guitar, his answer was Clapton. Nobody else. Says a lot.
LET THERE BE ROCK, LIVE AT THE RIVER PLATE!!!

You know the back story? Layla was Patti Boyd, George Harrison's wife, that Clapton was in love with but she was still married.
Forgot to tell George was Eric's best friend
@@gabifromhell and they remained friends until the day Harrison died.

Check out “old love “ from the same concert. Epic!
Rolling Stone magazine declared Layla as the greatest Rock song of all time...
Try watching layla live at prince's trust in 1988..that's the best live you'll ever find i bet
You should check out his performance in LiveAid. He has Phil Collins on drums there. Amazing performance!
Love you guys all the best from Australia 🇦🇺
Clapton is on the Mt. Rushmore of guitar players 😊.. You know, RIP to my dad. Im thankful to him for getting me into this stuff as a kid.
the very end of layla the piano bit totally the end of a film where the characters walk off in to the sunset
Derrick and the dominoes.
The radio version is quite often the acoustic version Or unplugged
