They werent around very long, one album and live album and that was that. I'm sure if Eric hadnt got caught in serious heroin habit the Dominos could have been huge, by the album really hit it was all over for the Dominos. But to your comment yeah its a shame.
Isn’t that true the same with the original Allman Brothers Band. Many great bands with so little video of them. Jim Gordon was blessed with incredible talent but cursed with untreated mental illness . He self medicated with drugs that didn’t treat the illness. Sad story. I guess most of the really effective medications weren’t available in the 1970’s.
@@pabloperez4063 Jim had undiagnosed Schizophrenia. He was certainly a difficult person - part of the reason being his mental illness. Killed his mother in the early 80's and is still in a mental health facility. Refused parole in 2018. As a drummer he had few peers. He was very very good. I try to separate his personal life from his music skills.
Saw Clapton live in the late 70’s. The Dominos stuff was always my favorite. How can a band have a loose jamming feel yet be so tight. Answer, awesome musicians.
My very first rock concert---16 years old, Derek and the Dominos---November 1970, Painters Mill Maryland. First time smoked pot too---oh boy a double dose. Very few if any, concerts after that experience ever lived up to that one and I went to many in Chicago. Maybe it was the Pot? Naw---it was the music and the Players.
I saw them with Duane Allman playing the 1st part of the show. 1st song was Layla. Plenty of pot too. in December 1970 at Curtis Hixon Hall in Tampa. Great show.
I was 16. It was my 3rd concert. I saw 5Hendrix at the Baltimore Civic Center in May, 1969, my 1st concert, I was 15!, Then I saw Spirit and Iron Butterfly in Baltimore. Then we moved to Tampa. I have seen a lot of concerts since then.
@@charlesmyers8150 my first 3 were Ozzy, Kiss & Metallica in the mid 90s when I was 15, ha! Hendrix, young Clapton and SRV would be if I could pick anyone choices.Duane would have been so great to see as well! Thanks for sharing!
Holy smokes. I have never heard this version before. Back in olden days, we used to mail CD’s all around. There was a guy from Australia that I corresponded with and together we thought we had the complete recorded history. I did have a Johnny Cash disk, but this was not on it. Thank you so much for posting!!!!!! Fabulous recording!
This Album… not much to say but absolute greatness. We all wish the dominos lived on longer than they did, however it’s clips like this that make them a timeless group. Recent receiver of the 40th anniversary 2-disc edition of the album and recent viewer of their time on the Johnny cash show and holy cow was it everything I asked for and more. Long live Eric, Duane, Bobby, Carl, Jim, and the rest of the dominos. One of the greatest bands to ever live
Fabulous performance, do wish they had filmed it, but only It's Too Late and the duets with Carl Perkins and Johnny made the show. You can hear Johnny saying that if the producer is OK with it, Eric has agreed to play another song for you guys. This one is pretty rocked up for Johnny's show, but it's so great, D & D for my money is the best EC ever was. Love it! ❤️
Who the F told the film crew to call it a day?? At least the audio guy had the presence of mind to keep rolling as they played a few more for the youngsters in the audience.
@@pabloperez4063 As far as I am aware , there is no video footage. Would love to be proven wrong. - also very little video footage of delaney, Bonnie & friends. (the forrunner of D&TD)
I've never missed a single Clapton Show going back to the late 70s anytime he's been anywhere near the NY City area. When people ask me why.... I've never failed to provide them with a reason 👆 How do you NOT LOVE CLAPTON ? Never fails to leave jaws on the floor, even 55 years later
@@pabloperez4063 Dozens upon dozens of times. I just can't help myself. I always buy tix for multiple nites when he's coming thru. I used to do the same thing when the Allman Brothers would play their Spring Residency at the Beacon Theater. I'd buy tickets for at least 10 shows. 2009 was incredible as it was their 40th Anniversary Tour. I usually try to get seats close to the front left cause that's where Greg always is. I got lucky and scored a single, front row dead center seat. Everyone knew it was gonna be a special Tour cause of the Anniversary, and sure enough, a good ways into the show, Warren Haynes just kinda casually says "Would y'all please welcome Mr Eric Clapton to the Stage"...and Eric strolls out and The roof almost came off the building. Beyond phenomenal. I've been really fortunate, living so close to NY City, to have seen some really incredible shows since the late 70s. There's always a few that really stand out. That was one of them. 😁
Bobby Whitlock and Coco Carmel have a great channel where they talk about all sorts of things, including playing the Cash show (as you know). Anyone that hasn’t subscribed should. Great stories
Keep in mind Bobby's mother and grandmother and family were up front in the crowd. A homecoming for him. They played several songs after the show. All good. Bobby was a full member and founder with EC of Derek and the Dominos
@@mikeamrat7265 One of the best drummers however he was diagnosed with Schizophrenia after he killed his mother. Came up for parole in 2018. Parole refused. A really sad story.
They could--and probably did in concert--jam for about 20 minutes more on this song. I used to see Jim Gordon where I worked in California. Sadly, he was a shadow of his former self. Not many of the medical staff knew who he was, or that he had won a Grammy. I soon enough educated them on that.
Steve F Never had a real chance. He did request a book about rock musicians once from his social worker. Probably wanted to show who he had performed with.
The only song performed on the Johnny Cash Show by the Dominos was It's Too Late. This recording was from the BBC's Top Of The Pops, recorded in NY City.
Best band Clapton ever had, not even close. And he threw it all away to do heroin for a couple years as a hermit. Nothing he's done since has ever been this good. Fucking shame. If this is the Johnny Cash show its the short concert after the show, after the country audience left and the kids circling the block were let in. It was not video taped. Ryman Theater, Nashville.
You speak the truth. When he came back after his drug induced "exile", he was not the same artist, he had lost the "fire" that had made him great. Sure, he had chart and "monetary" successes after that, but IMO that "magic" was long gone. When he did return, the only person I believe that continued to play with him was the bassist, Carl Radle, the rest of guys, Gordon and Whitlock did not return. Don't know if it would have lasted much longer, anyway, Clapton isn't the kind of personality that is going to just "blend" into a "band" forever, I think his ego needed to be out front. He's always struck me as a bit pompous and a loner, don't think he could have sustained even a "sideband" in the likes of Tom Petty or Bruce Springsteen.
@@OroborusFMA You are comparing apples and oranges. Two completely different types of bands. D&TD were an excellent band all round. I'm not into "best" as that is so subjective. IMHO Delaney Bonnie & Friends (DB&F) was a superior band to Derek & the Dominoes - but that's just my opinion. DB&F had a brilliant horn section and the Bramletts as vocalists.

Listen to some of those fills! And how he carries the melody and is ALWAYS exactly on the beat...
Legendary drummer and most tragic story what happened to him from mental instability.
I hope he's doing okay in his current circumstances.
It's a sad coda to his gifted legacy.
One of the greatest rock drummers of all time - does receive due credit (and I accept he had personal mental health issues)
@@sfeigh No he has been refused parole as he won't accept required medication..
High energy, high speed, and tight, tight, tight! What n amazing performance!
THIS is the song they should have broadcast on the Johnny Cash show!
And Blues power
Dude, it's way to long.
It's not country enough for Johnny Cash fans.
Everything Eric Clapton touches is super cool. And Derek and the Domino's is no exception

Got to get better in a little while, good words for today. This version has a little more zip than the live Fillmore track.
