The high register guitar sounding like a violin was Duane Allman playing slide guitar. Two of the best rock guitarists of all here together. Those are Duane's birds at the very end....
Derrick and the Dominoes was an Eric Clapton project. He was the leader of that band. Layla is his song. This is the iconic version, and it’s distinctively Clapton. He did record a slowed down acoustic version much later, about 20 years later, I think, which was also a hit. The story behind it is very interesting. He wrote it about George Harrison’s wife at the time, Pattie Boyrd, who later divorced George and married Eric. So it was a bit of a “forbidden love” song when written. The slow version was recorded a couple of years after he divorced Pattie.
I would say musically it has more of a Duane Allman influence than Clapton
@@mascotstillpending2048 absolutely .
Duane did all the iconic heavenly ethereal guitar licks. Even that “bird tweet” at the end. Aaaahhhhhh Skydog!
It's Derek!
This is the song Eric wrote to George Harrison's wife, whom he was deeply in love with (unrequited). Somehow, they remained friends even though she eventually divorced George to marry Eric. Thanks for doing this version! This also includes Duane Allman from the Allman Brothers Band (the one that sounded like a violin and chirpy chirps - it's a slide guitar), so two guitar heros are on this at the same time.
If you'd like to hear Duane playing that type of solo alone, check out "Dreams" by The Allman Brothers Band.
@RBR actually they were .
Best friends Eric, played on while my guitar gently weeps , iconic playing on that song.
the signature riff is also composed by Allman
Interesting. I never knew that. Glad you mentioned Duanne also. Geroge did get a good wife later. On 12 1999 George was attacked at home by man who stabbed him repeatedly as he fought. His wife Olivia fought with the man, coming to George's aid, as they both fought the madman.
@@waynedome148 Clapton also played on George's album, "All Things Must Pass" but was not credited because of contract issues.
That's a guitar being played with a glass bottle on his finger. A slide like with a steel guitar. That's Duane Allmond from the Allmond Brothers.
Eric Clapton and Duane Allman......... Need I say more ? This is an iconic song to say the least. The different stylings of Eric and Duane on "dueling" lead guitars is mesmorizing. Thanks for reacting to this classic song.
Bell bottom blues is another metaphoric passionate narrative. That’s also on this album. I don’t wanna fade away just give me one more day please…
My goodness I was a junior in high school when this came out. Now I am a 69-year-old senior citizen listening to this hit again. Wondering how fast time went. At least today with podcasters and youtubers keeping music alive and bringing back hits of the past and those who performed them. It's refreshing to see today's youth listening to the music of past generations and how truly lucky we had it back then. Awesome Channel ladies. Note: A young Eric Clapton singing and at his best playing lead guitar and Duanne Allman playing his Slide guitar.
Always loved this song and it has the late great Duane Allman on slide guitar. One of the best guitar player's that ever lived.
As stated earlier, by gfink2, Duane Allman was the one making the continuous violin like sound. Duane actually used a small Coricidin, sinus medication, glass bottle to slide on the neck of his guitar. Gary Rossington, the last original member of Lynyrd Skynyrd (who just passed away yesterday) used a glass bottle in the same way.
The piano coda at the end of “Layla” actually does come from a separate song called “Time.” It is credited to Jim Gordon, who was the drummer in Derek and the Dominoes, though it may, in fact, have been composed by his then girlfriend, Rita Coolidge who was also a recording artist. I bring this up mainly to pay tribute to Jim Gordon, who passed away earlier this year (March 13th) at the age of 77. Jim was a great drummer and a sadly tragic figure.
During the late 1960s and throughout the 1970s, Jim Gordon was a much in demand studio musician, playing the drums for many different artists and on many historic record albums. He was a protege of Hal Blaine, also a noted sessions drummer, famous for his work with the group of studio musicians known as the Wrecking Crew. The list of artists Jim Gordon played with includes Joan Baez, The Beach Boys, Jackson Brown, the Byrds, Glenn Campbell, the Carpenters, Cher, Crosby, Stills and Nash, Judy Collins, Neil Diamond, and we're only up the the D’s. He recorded with two Beatles (John and George), with the supergroup Traffic and with the groundbreaking Steely Dan. At one point when he was living and working in Las Vegas, Gordon flew to L.A. every morning to make it to two or three recording sessions, before flying back to Vegas in time to play in the show band at Caesar's Palace that night.
Now for the sad part of the story. Beginning in the 1970s, Gordon began having mental health issues. Unfortunately, his condition was misdiagnosed at the time, and he was only treated for addiction to drugs and alcohol. However, he actually suffered from schizophrenia, including hearing voices in his head. In 1983, while suffering a schizophrenic break, he attacked his 71 year old mother with a hammer and knife, killing her. He was charged with murder and sentenced to 16 years to life in prison. Though the court recognized his mental state at the time, he was unable to enter an insanity plea under California law at the time. Gordon was eligible for parole ten times over the tears, but he never attended a parole hearing, and so was never released. He was still incarcerated (in a special mental health facility) when he died on March 13th.
Layla is one of those songs that is immediately recognizable within the first few seconds - a rock classic.
Layla" is a song written by Eric Clapton and Jim Gordon, originally recorded with their band Derek and the Dominos, their only studio album, Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs (1970). Its contrasting movements were composed separately by Clapton and Gordon. The piano part has also been controversially credited to Rita Coolidge, Gordon's girlfriend at the time.The song was further inspired by Clapton's secret love for Pattie Boyd, the wife of his friend and fellow musician George Harrison. After Harrison and Boyd divorced, Clapton and Boyd eventually married."Layla" has since its release experienced great critical and popular acclaim, and is often hailed as being among the greatest rock songs of all time. Two versions have achieved chart success, the first in 1972 and the second 20 years later as an acoustic Unplugged performance by Clapton. In 2004, "Layla" was ranked number 27 on Rolling Stone's list of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time", and the acoustic version won the 1993 Grammy Award for Best Rock Song.
Rita Coolidge wrote the piano part. Jim Gordon has been in prison for the last 40 years for murdering his mother.
@@user-gt2uf8cq9y Sadly true - Jim suffered mental problems. But he did steal that piano part. It got used in another Rita song later on.
If you're going to copy and paste from Wikipedia, give it credit.
"Layla" is actually Patti Boyd, who Eric Clapton was in love with, but she was married to his good friend George Harrison at the time this song was written. As it turns out, Patti and George did eventually divorce and Patti and Eric did get married. Patti was also the muse for another Eric Clapton song: "Wonderful Tonight". (Patti was also the muse for George Harrison written song "Something".
Clapton was earlier a member of The Yardbirds, Cream, and Blind Faith before forming Derek and the Dominos.
This song was used in a very pivotal point in the Martin Scorsese film "Good Fellas." I can picture the scenes in my head everytime I hear this song. Very powerful!
I am so with you about hearing Layla in Goodfellas! I always remember what was happening in he movie as the song is played.
It makes me a little sad knowing Eric Clapton took George Harrison’s wife from him. Their marriage didn’t last either!
What makes the piano exit so masterful, is it’s so widely up for interpretation. Is it happy? Is it sad? I can literally have any emotion and tie it into that piece of music.
Derek and the Dominos " had only 1 studio album and it was over with along with a live album released a couple of years later ..Rita Coolidge was said to have came up with the piano melody and Jim Gordon liked it and used it/recorded it and it was tagged on the end of Layla and she never got anY official credit ..Bobby Whitlock is on back up vocals and second piano and he and his wife have a You Tube Chanel - Bobby and Coco, and he has all of the stories about George Harrison Eric Clapton and Patti Boyd
That "voilin-ie" part you referr to...was actually Duane Allman of the Allman brothers playing slide guitar.
With opening chords like that ,You KNOW it's going to be great!
Derek and The Dominos are one of the many bands Eric Clapton was involved with during his legendary music career. He is considered one of the greatest guitarists of all time. "Layla" is a rock classic and an excellent pick to introduce Eric Clapton's music to your channel.
I just love your reactions all the time. great music fans with a real down to earth mantra. Layla is widely considered to be one of the 10 best rock and roll songs of ALL time and the best that Eric Clapton ever performed which is saying an awful lot. keep up the good work ladies!
The violin sound is a slide guitar played by Dyane Allman from The Allman Brothers Band
This song is iconic. It's about a woman he loves ( really loves) George Harrison's wife, he's bestfriend, Patti Boyd. She had some of the greatest songs written about her. She had 2 of the best in love with her. George wrote "Something". Eric wrote "Layla" "Wonderful Tonight" & my all time favorite "Bell Bottom Blues" Eric got her in the end, but cheated on her, too. Listen to Duane Allman play that teardrop on the guitar. It's brilliant.
Duane Allman wrote the opening riff of Layla. Duane Allman was an incredible (slide) guitar player who was famous for making his guitar sound like a violin.
Brings back so many fond memories. This is the music I grew up with. Thanks for doing it. I was in high school when this song came out.
Duane Allman is the one playing the guitar solo that you said sounds like a violin. It's actually a guitar played with a glass slide instead of fingers, giving it that "violiny" sound.
Derek and the Dominos were a one-off in the early 1970s. Megalomaniac Eric Clapton loved to bring in musicians from other bands for an album, go on tour, then leave to form another band (The Powerhouse, Cream, Blind Faith, Derek and the Dominos). Those four bands came and went in the span of 5 years. In this case, he left Derek and The Dominos to join the band that opened for them on tour... Delaney & Bonnie. Oh, and the piano outro was actually a separate solo song created by the drummer that Clapton forced him to tag onto the end of this song, or he'd kick him out of the band. Clapton found him using studio time late at night recording it.
The story behind this song: Clapton stole his 'best friend" George Harrison's wife Patti Boyd. She is Layla.
Duane Allman was playing slide guitar on this iconic song, while Eric was singing lead and playing the lead lick that Duane came up with. These were two of rock's greatest guitar players. Jim Gordon, who I believe drummed on this track, is credited for writing the beauitful piano bridge, although I've heard from several sources that he cribbed it from Rita Coolidge, who was his lady friend at one time. Truly one of rock's most-iconic songs, right up there with "Stairway to Heaven."
The violin sound was the late great Duane Allman playing slide guitar
As for the violin sound, there were two lead guitars playing at the same time one by Clapton and the other by Duane Allman of The Allman Brothers. It is Duane making that sound. The song is written for and about Pattie Harrison, the wife of his best friend, George Harrison of The Beatles. It is a song about, at that time it was written and recorded, unrequited love.
This particular version of Layla stands as one of my all time favorites ever.... Nightwish notwithstanding of course!
I guess most people who don't own the LP never have heared the full version with the beautiful instumental part at the end because normally on radio, in discos or on partys they always just play the short version.
I had the great good fortune to see Derek and the Dominos in 1970 at the Eastown Theater in Detroit... An incredible evening...
Layla was Patti Boyd, George Harrison's wife when the song was written. She and Eric eventually married, but subsequently divorced.
Love Eric Clapton's early stuff in the blues rock band Derek & The Dominoes in the early 70's. They are best known for "Layla" but had other good songs too like "Bell Bottom Blues".
Supposedly also about Patti
This was not his "early stuff", he'd already been involved in two bands that would get him nominated too the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame twice (Yardbirds & Cream). Before being inducted for the third time as a solo artist.
I love : Derek and the dominos live at the Filmore 🎸🎸🎸👌👌👌. That violin sound you talk about is slide guitar . Many blues & country artist use slide guitar .
That guitar is crying!!!
The instrumental at the end is such a beautiful piece of music!
Best DJ comment I ever heard, back in the day... "Good to the last chirp!"
Thank you for reacting to this incredible original version of the song. Like you, BG, I remember hearing this song on the radio back in the 70s, and just being blown away as a teenager. And BG, you are so right about the layering of the instruments, and the sound of longing in the second part of the song. There are a couple of other versions of the song. There is the much more recent version of Eric singing it much more mellow on an acoustic guitar, and there is a much more recent version of him singing it Derek and the Dominos style with the guitar and the piano, but he takes a different approach on the electric guitar. I also want to say that you both looked exceptionally beautiful today.
I meant MG in reference to hearing the song on the radio years ago.
We named our youngest daughter after this (Derek and the Dominoes) version of Layla.
The higher pitched guitar part is played by Duane Allman.
About his best friend's (George Harrison) wife, Pattie Boyde. She was married to both men, at different times. Eric Clapton and George Harrison remained the Best of friend's even until Harrison's death. Iconic song, with an iconic guitar riff. Harrison and Clapton played on each other's albums through the years.
That "violin" is Duane Allman on slide guitar.
When Skynrd recorded Sweet Home Alabama, the line in Muscle Shoals they had the Swampers, the reference is to a studio band that recorded with various artists. Duane Allman (the anthology captures Duane’s work with this group on recordeing from Aretha Franklin to Wilson Pickett and Clarence Carter (my favorite the Road of Love). A particularly pretty song is Please Be With Me by Cowboy. Duane kills it on Dobro. Clapton does a version on 461 Ocean Boulevard.
New subscriber. Thanks for the memories. I was in high school when this was a hit. We loved this song, so did the girls. Greetings from Charleston West Virginia
Eric was Derek. The guitar here was Duane Allman.
Duane Allman and Eric Clapton in a guitar feast, a classic album.
Duane Allman Played Slide on this song. That's the Violin sound.
By the time this song was recorded Clapton was about 25 and had been in The Yardbirds, the Bluesbreakers, Cream, Blind Faith and Delaney and Bonnie.
Love the guitar riff in this song!! Clapton is one of the very best!! If you want to listen to even earlier Clapton, check out Cream. “Sunshine of Your Love”, “White Room”, and my favorite “Crossroads”.
Derek & the Dominos was a Duane Allman and Eric Clapton collaboration.
Also it was mostly Delanie and Bonnie's band that Clapton kind of poached after he played with them for a while.
And that guitar is Duane Allman, not Clapton. He is probably playing slide guitar which gives it that strange sound.
Duane being Duane. Left us at 24. Clapton went to an Allman brothers show and invited Duane to Miami. The rest is history. The love triangle with Patti is well documented. Duane is considered as the greatest slide player. The slide is what you thought sounded like a violin. Slide guitar is basically a cylinder on one finger which you slide on the guitar.
The second part was written by Rita Coolidge, an incredibly talented Native American artist, but she wasn't given credit. She was the girlfriend of the drummer, who presented this as his own. The first part was inspired by the Persian story of Layla and Majnun
Duane Allman is playing a slide guitar. That is where the violin sound is coming from. Check out the Allman Brothers Band
"Anyday" from the same album.
Was a super song and this version I've heard the most back in the day...triggers great memories!
After Eric Clapton recorded this version, he later recorded an acoustic version. The piano player here was Jim the drummer.
Yes, Eric Clapton!!! Please react to more! A million suggestions, but I’ll keep it to 2. Old Love, and River of Tears, live versions of each. Thank you, y’all are the best!!!
Hey Baby Gap and Mom Gap !!! OK, this song also features another famous guitarist, Duane Allman, who does the awesome slide guitar work on the song. That was the "violiny" sound you were referring to.
Also, Eric wrote this sound after reading an old love story about an Arabian princess whose father married her off and left her true love abandoned and lovelorn, because it was very much how he (Eric) was feeling at the time. You see, he was very good friends with George Harrison, and he fell in love with George's wife, Pattie Boyd Harrison and, at first, she avoided the issue but, apparently, the song worked because after she and George divorced, she and Eric got together and later, got married. As situations like this often pan out, she ended up leaving Eric and went back to George, from what I recall.
Yeah, to add a little more info about the group, it was a result of Eric's friends (mostly Delaney and Bonnie Bramlett) pushing him to sing more and be more of a front man, instead of hiding behind his guitar all the time, as up to this point, he had been very shy in that area. So, he created Derek (Hint: D-Eric) and the Dominos as a way to "test the waters", so to speak.
He figured, if it crashed and burned, then no one would know he was involved, but if it was a hit, then he'd let it be known that he was the founder and leader of the group. Well, of course, the latter happened, and this became his most successful song, along with a number of other awesome songs of his like, Have You Ever Loved A Woman, Bell Bottom Blues, Blues Power, Let It Rain and my all-time favorite, "Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad?".
If you do that last one, PLEASE react to the "In Concert" version (th-cam.com/video/KHDsevl0brY/w-d-xo.html ), as it is a phenomenally underrated song, progressing from jazz-oriented in the opening, progressing to aggressive rock, to melancholy and sentimental in the end, kind of like this one. It is sensitive, emotional and just BEAUTIFUL.
Also, "Bell Bottom Blues" by Eric Clapton is one of his best "blues" song!
The record company were most upset that Eric Clapton called the band Derek and the Dominoes. They issued Lapel badges thet stated "DEREK IS ERIC". The Piano solo was played by the Drummer Jim Gordon. This is the original version of Layla.
Derek &.. only did the one album. So not surprising you haven't heard of them. Duane Allman with Eric. He did a number of short group projects at that time, this, Blind Faith, etc.
So many stories behind this song. A portion of it was actually written by Rita Coolidge strangely enough.
This was considered a SUPER BAND put together by Clapton or Allman, not sure which, but Rolling Stone once ranked the greatest rock guitarists of all-time and both of them were in the TOP 5, with Duane Allman actually ahead of Eric Clapton. Allman was ranked #2 behind only Jimmy Hendrix. Anyway, that should give you some idea of what a SUPER BAND this was. This is the one and only album they recorded and it's viewed as a classic. Sadly Duane Allman tragically died in a motorcycle accident, in his early 20's, and that was the end of the band. Thus this CLASSIC was the one and only album for Derek and the Dominos. Lastly, another GREAT SONG on this album is "Bell Bottom Blues". Personally I like it even more than Layla and I have quite a few friends who feel likewise. Whether you do or don't, that it's even debatable tells you why you should make a reaction to "Bell Bottom Blues" by Derek and the Dominos a priority.
thats dwayne aliman on the slide guitar
I fell in love with this song so much. I named my daughter after this song.
Goosebumps😊
Top 10 favorite song. Good choice!
Rod S., What's yr no. 1 fav song? I bet you can't say! Hahaha 😄😂
Eric Clapton knew exactly who he wanted on those sessions, and he got him; Duane Allman, who had his own outfit, of course. The two guitars are entwined together; they are hard to separate.
Duane allman plays the slide guitar in this one 7:40
my favorite version of this song , in my opinion the acoustic "unplugged" version pales in comparison
Best version ever because of two things. #1. Duane Allman best slide guitar ever. No other versions live or studio included will have him in it. That birdie sound is him on slide at the end. He died early in his career of a motorcycle accident (Allman Brothers Band was his main band with Gregg) The #2. Every live version of Clapton does not have the full piano part in the middle from 8:45 to 9:15 all of them are cut out. Why? Layla was Patti Boyd Harrison (George's wife at the time). Finally divorced him and married Eric and they got a divorce. Claptons 4 yr. old son fell out of the 53 floor of his apt. Inspired his song IF I SAW YOU IN HEAVEN.
Love this song! This is Eric Clapton
Derek is actually Clapton's real first name. He changed it but to create this band he flipped back and that was pretty much it, plus his main collaborator, Duane Allman, had been killed in a motorcycle accident shortly after this was released
Happy 75th birthday Bobby Whitlock [backing vocals & organ & piano]
Something- Beatles. Is about Patti George Harrison's wife. This is also about his wife. Wonderful Tonight is also about Patti...after she married Eric.
The whole album is very good. Bought this album when it was released and still have it. Bell Bottom Blues and Have You Ever Loved a Woman are suggested songs from the album.
Groooven Girls. . . Nice!
One of the best love songs ever written .🎸. Derek and the dominos is Eric Clapton . He didn't want Eric and the dominos , so he changed it to Derek.
Der & Dom is one of the ' all star ' type bands , like ' Crosby, Stills , Nash, & Young'- mostly from Delaney & Bonnie Bramlet band, and they played on George H. ' All things must pass' ( after the Beatles refused to record it for 'Let it be' .... ) both albums released at about the same time. the group ' the band' is credited by George H. as a strong influence. has been mentioned - the slide guitar ( Violin ) is by Duane Allman , of 'Allman Bros. band'. D & D managed to only produce this one, 2 disc album. and a similar Live version.
Duane Allman on slide made this song great.
Eric Clapton is influenced by Blues. This is why he version is more blues. A song with a long guitar solo at the end of the song is the blues musician allowing his instrument to speak to you. B B King guitar was Lucille. You should listen to his song Lucille.
Let it Rain is my favorite song by Eric Clapton
Tremendous Pick, Eric Clapton's One of the Greatest. His life's full of tragedy, he pulls his misery out of his Guitar where you can almost hear his pain. In very short order His Band along with Stevie Ray Vaughan all died in a horrible airplane crash, then his 4 1/2 y.o. son fell out of an open 49th floor window in New York, March 20th, 1991 P.S.-I absolutely love that Piano solo.
Thank you MG and BG another great reaction!! 🤗
Thanks for watching Brett 😊😊😊
There are 2 guitar players the other one is Duane Allman
Martin Scorsese used this song masterfully in Goodfellas 🇬🇧😊😊
The piano exit to this song is one of my favorite pieces of music.
Great song and reaction to this oldie ladies! This band has soooo many hits along with of course Eric Clapton on his own. Thanks so much for posting it!🦋
Also comes from a story of Layla & Qays fell in love with one another , but the father didn't allow them to be together . So they died together for not being allowed to love .
A point of interest. This song, Wonderful Tonight and Something (Beatles) are all about the same woman. Patti Boyd.
Man those Boyd girl must have had IT.
One of my favourite Clapton's albums is 461 Ocean Boulevard, check it out for great tunes.
LOVE this riff. My first riff I play on an electric to check out it's sound.
I love both this version, and the unplugged acoustic version. Neil Sedaka also did the same thing with Breaking Up is Hard to Do. He had a kind of doo wop original hit in the early 60's, and then in the 70's redid it as kind of a torch song slowed way down and very poignant. I think I like the remake even better. You should do them back to back!
Brilliant
Reminds me of boot camp.
This song was made more famous with the mob movie Good Fellows especially towards the end of the movie….where you saw graphically the result of all the hits the mob made against people who talked too much…
Yes, it’s true about Goodfellas, a great movie about star-crossed lovers growing up in the Bronx. However, the song was most famous for its use in The Empire Strikes Back.
