Eric Clapton’s heart was ripped open during the making of this album over Patti Boyd who was married to George Harrison. He was also strung out on drugs. An emotional combination. Producing one of the greatest albums of all time
I feel like Jay appreciated the music and Amber understood what the song was about, but some of us fight back tears while listening because we've lived through heartache like this and the song cuts straight through to our hearts. I am grateful that our two hosts have probably not lived through anything like that.
Pretty much what I was going to say. Such a great album, not a bad song on it
I agree
Preach. Brutal song.@@twentyfiveyears5010
100% on point. Unfortunately, Clapton had more difficulties and tragedies to come.
Couple points. Of course this song and essentially the whole album is about his love for Patti Boyd who was George Harrison’s wife. The other thing is Duane Allman is on the album, all the great guitar in the background.
I've always loved the chords that play during the chorus. So simple, but there is something about the tone of the guitar that perfectly backs-up the aching sentiment in the vocals. (Also, this must be a tough song to cover, you need guys that can harmonize in falsetto.)
Duane was on all but three of the tracks from the album . This was one of the three he did not play on.
@@njt2347George Harrison was the second guitar on those 3 tracks.
@@tawnieriekena7 I don't think he appears on the album. I think he did record a few tracks that didn't make the album - a different version of Tell the Truth and Roll it Over (later released on the Crossroads compilation)
@@njt2347 You are incorrect. The book included with the deluxe set, released in the 90's clearly states he did. Clapton confirmed it in his autobiography. George did not recieve credit on the packaging due to legal issues between lables.
This song has one of my favorite lines EVER!! “If I could choose a place to die, it would be in your arms”
Damn, the songs on this album break my heart in two every time I listen to them.
Great sound from Eric Clapton and Duane Allman! You think those guitars are crying 😢React to "Little Wing" from Derek & The Dominoes or "Let It Rain" from Eric Clapton next. Thanks.😂
This song was recorded before Duane Allman joined the sessions. All Clapton double tracking. The only reason Duane came to the session was Tom Dowd the producer told Eric that the “boys” Allman Brothers were playing a gig nearby in Miami. Clapton had heard Duane play lead on Wilson Pickett’s cover of Hey Jude, was thoroughly impressed. Clapton and Allman met after the show, Eric invited Duane to Criterion studios to talk, and jam. The rest is history.
This is actually all Eric. Before Duane joined the recording, Clapton was doing all tbe guitar work on the first 3 songs. Check out Keep on Growing - he interweaves three separate leads at the same town, and the results are amazing. His musicality is boggling.
Jay & Amber, you'll love their "Blues Power"!!! Todays song Eric Clapton on vocals and All guitars!!!
Also, you'll love Eric Clapton's "After Midnight" , "Forever Man" and "I Shot The Sheriff!!!
-awesome !-
Duane Allman on guitar as well.
@@diamondchild2 Bell Bottom Blues was recorded before Duane arrived at the recording session
Songs like this are why I feel Clapton is so great. His guitar work always fits the tone and emotion of the song. There are a lot of
great rock guitarists, but I don’t think any other of them bring the same lyricism to their music that Clapton does.
Carlos Santana is the only one I've heard speak with his guitar the way Clapton does.
@@Verlopil I would include David Gilmour on this list.
SRV? Frank Zappa?
@@keithrfield You're right. Gilmour is definitely a member of that club.
@@scottzappa9314 I thought about SRV and Hendrix, and while they sometimes hit that emotional high with their playing more often than not it's a more rarified experience with them, for me at least. It's like they're drawing on the cosmos and not necessarily playing to the song. And Zappa for me is an intellectual player. I just never connect to him emotionally, but that could be me.
Two of the absolute best guitarists of all time. Love you Eric, miss you Duane.
A high school favorite back when I wore monster bell bottoms.
I’m from the bell bottom generation too😂😂 it was great.
These kids don't know what you're talking about 🤣🤣
I'm also a 60's baby.
Bell Bottom hip hugger pants from the late 60’s thru the early 70’s! I had a few pairs.
@@samjones2439 With a button fly!
Here in Southern Illinois we called them "Elephant Bells."
Eric's masterpiece, guys. The entire album is perfection. Duane Allman was a huge part of it. Listen to it all someday...
I have loved this whole album since my teens.
Same
Me too
Tedeschi Trucks just put out a live remake of it called Layla Revisited Live at LOCKN’ that is excellent.
@@midnightrambler7716 TT are awesome!
Yes they are live too.@@kalishakta
Written for his new love, Patti Boyd. He also wrote WONDERFUL TONIGHT, and LAYLA about her, She was married to his friend George Harrison. He wrote the songs, SOMETHING, IF I NEEDED SOMEONE, I NEED YOU, FOR YOU BLUE, and others making her THE MOST WRITTEN ABOUT WOMAN IN HISTORY.
The backstory is that Eric was going to the US and Pattie asked him to pick her up a pair of bell bottoms.
-kool !-
Most written about woman in history? Helen of Troy would like a word.
More written about than Mary, the "Mother of Christ"?
You said "most written about in history".....did you not?
"It's All Too Much"..."with your long blonde hair and your eyes so blue."
In 1970 Eric and this band were recording in Miami as were The Allman Brothers Band. They were introduced and ended up recording a bunch of jams. There are 6 of those jams about 2 hours each here on youtube. I don't remember if they were recorded in Miami or at Muscle Shoals. That music is good for the soul. You can hear pieces that later became big hits taking shape and a whole lot that only exists in those jams. Duane died in a motorcycle accident the next year, 1971.
One of Clapton's best bands and collaborations, every song on it is worth a reaction. Great song, for another, try their cover of the Jimi Hendrix classic, Little Wing, Duane Allman and Eric sound totally inspired, and it is one of many great covers of that Hendrix tune. Great stuff, Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎹🎶
Another great "Sad Song" from this album is "I looked away" Definitely worth a listen...Have a great evening.
I looked away was written & the lead sung by Bobby Whitlock whose voice is rich and soulful. He was the first white artist to be signed by Stax Records in Memphis. At 16!
His backup vocals are gold.
Highly recommendws from this album "Why has love got to be so sad?" a quick blues that shows off the guitar playing of both Clapton and Duane Alman
Yes!!!
That's actually just Eric (the first three songs on Layla... are all EC). Duane joined the album for the rest - that's when the slide magic begins!
Clapton is inducted in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame THREE TIMES... as a member of The Yardbirds, Cream and as a solo artist... and yet this song from Derek & The Dominos is my fav.
I am so happy to say that I saw Sir Eric Clapton last month here in CO. He still sounds phenomenal live.
Good for you…. I saw Hendrix, Santana, Stevie Ray, Johnny Winter, Jeff Beck, Leslie West .. countless others. I had Les Paul sign one of my Les Paul guitars… but I have never seen Eric Clapton live… sad to say.
It was an amazing concert.
Is he a sir?
Yes was knighted in 2004. @@jelly-baby
You need to. Jimmy Vaughn opened for him. But he didn't perform any Fabulous Thunderbirds hits sadly. I was waiting for Tough Enough. @@vrvaughn
So happy you enjoyed it. This is one of my favorites from this album. The song "have you ever loved a woman" off this album is recommended.
One of my favorite songs of all time.
I had forgotten how gorgeous this song is. Thanks for the reaction. Love you guys so much
Lead singer/guitarist... Eric Clapton.
You guys are blowing the dust off some real bangers the last few days!
Two items: 1) My first concert was Derek and the Dominoes in Cincinnati's Music Hall. 2) Dominoes bandmate (organ/vocals) Bobby Whitlock is now credited as co writer since the 50th Layla anniversary. Eric also fixed the $$$ for Bobby and has helped him out in other ways.
Motherless Children is a must listen ✌️
Always been my favorite of that album. So much emotion coming from Clapton's vocals & guitar. Great song.
Next for Derek & the Dominos, my choice would be Have You Ever Loved A Woman. Great blues tune.
Always loved this song
Please do more from the Layla album!!! Lots of great bluesy songs, but why does noone ever mention the other biggest rockers on there (for JAY?!!), such as "Why Does Love Got to Be So Sad?" (sounds depressing but is a real banger!) and "Tell the Truth".
Absolutely 💯 plus a shout-out to the keyboardist Bobby Whitlock
Why does love got to be so sad is one of the best songs of all time.
It was fun just watching Jay's face as this playing and seeing him really get it. Just beautiful.
This is my favorite Clapton song, absolutely heart wrenching, but this whole album is just one banger after another.
Back in the early 70's Polydor released a 2 album collection of Eric Clapton's work to that point in his career. It was called 'The History of Eric Clapton'. It had stuff from The Yardbirds, Bluesbreakers, Cream, Delaney & Bonnie, Blind Faith, and Derek & the Dominoes. There was an outtake from the 'Layla & Other Assorted Love Songs' called 'Tell The Truth Jam'. 'Tell The Truth' is a track from 'Layla...' and this jam was as described, the band Clapton had assembled just jamming in the studio. No vocals, just the band and Eric having some fun. It features some of the best guitar work I've heard from Clapton. It's glorious. I think the LP is out of print and the track is hard to find but I'd highly recommend trying to hunt it down.
Good old TH-cam. th-cam.com/video/r15aQZ5QuqU/w-d-xo.html
My favorite from that great album is Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out. Epic blues from Eric and Duane
Bell bottom Blues is one of my favorite Eric Clapton songs from Derek and the Domino's you look wonderful tonight is another good hit from Eric Clapton as well. Check out You look wonderful tonight next if you haven't yet, Eric is singing about Patty Boyd I think in that song. Patty Boyd has courted both Eric Clapton and George Harrison before him. She was in the music video of The Beatles Something of the members of the Beatles showing off their love interests in the video. Patty Boyd is the blonde that is with George Harrison at the time The Beatles recorded Abbey Rd Album.
The talent that came together to create this album was amazing and created a pinnacle moment in rock history.
Keep on Growing. Clapton and Allman dueling guitars? Can't beat it.
The Layla album was recorded in the order it appears. Allman showed up after the first 3 tracks had already been recorded. Allman was not on Keep On Growing.
Live Eric Clapton!! He truly was pouring out his soul! You can feel his pain!!❤️
This is without a doubt been my favorite song for many years.
This is such a great record!
I've loved this song for decades.
You simply must hear the Derek/Dominos Jam Sessions. They are unbelievable. All jams, no words. I think Jam 4 is essentially Eric Clapton with the Allman Brothers. Duane and Eric are phenom together.
YES! I remember buying the Layla Sessions box set (remember those? lol) and putting the Jams CD on repeat. I still listen to them semi-regularly to this day.
@@EricKing I let a very good friend borrow my box set and the jerk lost it during a move! I had gotten the set as a gift from gf.
@@cshubs oh man that's terrible
@cshubs You should check out "Out of the Blue" by George Harrison. It was an impromptu performance for the All Things Must Pass sessions labeled “Jam 3” at EMI on July 2, 1970.
Complete with Klaus Voorman actually playing guitar (not Clapton), Carl Radle on bass, Bobby Keys' fiery saxophone, Jim Price on trumpet, Gary Wright's organ and Bobby Whitlock’s placid keyboard with Jim Gordon on Drums.
It's over 11 mins long, but must have been a blast to record & it just takes you on a great ride throughout the song that is all based on one riff. It's really something else.
Amazing song. Eric Clapton is a great guitarist and this was around the height of his peak. He has had issues in his personal life but I can't deny his brilliance as a musician. He said some very controversial things in the past. He also is behind the band Cream and had a lot of solo stuff. One of his most underrated songs is "It's in the Way that You Use It". The song was used in the movie "The Colour of Money" which was a sequel to the movie "The Hustler" which came out 20 or so years before. Another song by him you might enjoy but is very sad is "Tears in Heaven", it's about the death of his young child who fell out of a window, the same year he was on tour with the legendary Stevie Ray Vaughan, Stevie Ray and others died in a plane crash during the tour. Sorry if I put too much info.
amber, i so feed off your passion. i love both of you guys. you make me rememberr the first time that i ever heard all of these songs that will never be duplicated again. what you guys do is important. thank you for that
Clapton was always playing on our reel to reel 20 hour tapes!!! Always!!!!🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸❤
My favorite Clapton song. 💕
He was lead guitar on the Beatles While My Guitar Gently Weeps.
Your a good old soul Amber, thanks for keeping the memories alive with the music of my generation. Was able to see Clapton 3 times in the 70’s and the music came roaring back tonight! Thanks guys!!
Do a Wikipedia search on Derek and the Dominoes. Just who all in the music world was all playing together and associating with around the time their one and only album was recorded.Heck.....even the producers! like Spector and Dowd!
"Tell the Truth" & "Anyday" from the Layla album. Guaranteed to blow you away. Thanks for all your videos !
This entire album was written by Eric Clapton as a love letter to George Harrison’s wife Patty. She would eventually leave Harrison for Clapton only to divorce him some time later largely in part due to his alcohol use.
Great Band, alway's great blues and guitar with Eric Clapton.
My god ! I don't think they realize that Eric Clapton is the lead singer of Derek and the Dominoes. Unbelievable
I got the same impression while watching, as I was waiting for them to acknowledge that fact, but never happened.
That’s ok and all, but details matter. In the case of this album, the players and the backstory are what really make the whole thing so interesting beyond being just another really great blues rock record from the 70’s.
What gets me with a lot of tunes that get reacted to, is that a lot of the more pertinent information often gets left out by people suggesting the tunes.
A great example is when people suggest songs that are 2-part songs but no one makes that clear in their request, so the reactor ends up listening to the one part requested and not the other part.
@@CANDOKNOWHOW i kinda don't think it's ok My problem with them sometimes is that rely too much on the people who request the reactions for pertinent information like hey Eric Clapton is the lead singer of Derek and the Dominoes Hey let's be proactive look it up i mean look how long it took them to realize that the Beatles had more than one lead singer it's the attention to details of the artist they react to that frustrates me
@@rcherry1978it’s not that deep buddy
@@_androo_9202 no its not its almost hilarious
Man, this was a heartbreak song back in the day. If you had just broken with someone when this song came out this song made you feel like your heart had been stomped on.
Claptons virtuosity on display here. Note how we barely touches the strings on the fretboard in the middle of the song to create the crying, hollow sound. Hes just fantastic.
My favorite Clapton song & maybe in my top 5 all time favorite songs. Good choice.
Gives me cold chills every time I hear this! The sadness in his voice & the sadness in which he plays that guitar! So emotional & just raw & pure! This is the song that made me a huge fan of Eric Clapton!!
in the 70's I was growing up in Colorado, and my corduroy bell bottoms (unnaturally bright blue or bright orange) would get packed with snow as I walked. I remember always having to shake out the clumps of snow every time I went inside. The cold corduroy would make a zip-zip sound as I walked. Good times!
Don't know how energized you are, but with your love of Susan Tedeski, she and her husband played this entire album live and put it out as an album.
Give it a listen.
Great suggestion. Did you know several things inspired Susan and Derek to do this album. One of which being that Susan was born the day "Layla" was released.
@@kayh7982 I saw Clapton's world tour in 2006 and Derek Trucks was in his band. Trucks was named from the album, Derek and the Dominos because the drummer from the Allman Brothers, Butch Trucks (Derek's uncle) was fond of Dwayne Allman's contribution to the album. During the concert that I saw, Derek expertly recreated Dwayne's slide guitar parts for a half a dozen songs from the Layla album... it was terrific!
@@albertsmith9315 It's true, Eric once said Derek reincarnates Duane through his guitar. Would have loved to be at such an amazing concert. I've seen Tedeschi Trucks Band 4 times, always fabulous. Derek's brother Duane Trucks plays drums for Widespread Panic, do you ever listen to them.
Tedeschi Trucks are the best band in the world today and it's not particularly close. Go see them live if you don't believe me.
@@albertsmith9315 Yes, Derek's namesake another reason they were compelled to release this live album. Along with their great respect for the band Derek and the Dominoes.
One heck of an album by Derek and the Dominoes. One of my fav tunes from them. "... in your arms." Bobby Whitlock rockin' the harmonies. Great drumming by Jim Gordon. Just Eric Clapton on guitars here. Great bass line by Carl. Haven't heard it in a while. "Key To The Highway" or "Keep On Growing" next. Thanks!
Good call out on Bobby Whitlock. In my opinion he is the unsung hero of this album. Everyone talks about Duane and Eric (and rightfully so!) but Bobby's contributions were really important too.
When this double lp came out it was the best thing i ever heard. I still love it. And Bellbottom was my favorite ballad on it way back then. Seems like yesterday. So many wonderful memories. Ty for doing a reaction to this. I do still have this vinyl .
Jay.. Eric Clapton did a great "Tulsa Time", "After Midnight" , "I Shot The Sheriff & Amber you'd like "Promises" with Marcy Levy a talented singer and songwriter. These are just to name a few! 💙🎼✌️
" I don't want to fade away" such a great line
I have loved this song for decades 💗💗
The sound of metal crying. The whole album is a great masterpiece
My favorite album of the seventies, maybe ever, bought it whithin days of release Eric is great, but people forget Bobby Whitlock, Carl Radle, and Jim Gordan;s drums this was a collaboration of great musicians
Love the entire album
What do The Yardbirds, Blind Faith, Cream, Derek and the Dominos all have in common? The Legend that is the great Eric Clapton
Yes! Just saw the 2 day Guitar Festival in LA. Love that man.
Ive seen him 4 times. Every time my jaw hit the floor I believe
Always played past the endtime
Always stunned me at just how great he is.
For a more traditional blues banger from Derek & the Dominoes, try Key to the Highway. You'll love it.
I forgot to say that you should play Why Does Love Have To Be so Sad. It’s an up tempo song on the same album with amazing guitar playing.
🕊❤️🎼
Eric Clapton:
1. I’ve Got A Rock And Roll Heart
2. Sweet Home Chicago
3. Riding With The King ( duet with B.B. King!! Pure Blues)
I don't think Eric was ever more impassioned on his vocals than on the Layla LP. My favorite cut on the LP was the opener, "I Looked Away." "Bell Bottom Blues" came right after "I Looked Away" and is even more devastating because of that.
Bobby Whitlock was the keyboard player and harmony vocalist. He cowrote this and several other songs with Clapton for this LP. Jim Gordon the drummer was an LA session ace, part of the "Wrecking Crew" of the town's top players. And the bass player was Carl Radle, born in Tulsa OK, and died there too. Duane Allman joined in after the LP sessions had already begun.
This was, and still is, an incredible song, from a monumental album. I remember EVERYONE listening to Layla, back when it was new. Bell Bottom Blues, was definitely one of the best on the album. For me, it was Bobby Whitlock's powerful backing vocals, that made this song so great. Bobby never seemed to get the credit he deserved, for what he provided, on this album, and others. He had a MONSTER voice! What a sweet man.
It also didn't hurt, that there was a certain young lady at the time, who was MY "Bell Bottom Blues." Some things, just aren't meant to be...
I'm glad you two are doing well..the music right here is two of the greatest guitarists to ever play.. Eric Is still alive.. the other gentleman was in a motorcycle crash in Macon Georgia...a long time ago.
Incredible song by an incredible band. Derek and the Dominos Live At The Fillmore is a must have if you’re truly into their music, there’s nothing out there like it, IMO! ✌️
Let It Rain and WDLGTBSS are both just bogglingly great.
.
Finally y'all got to this song it's amazing
This came out when I went to high school and it is forever woven into my first love (and losing it). So Eric hit the mark on this one. Most of the other songs as well.
Another great blues cut off that album is Have You Ever Loved a Woman. The guitar work of Clapton and Almond is unsurpassed. It is my favorite song on that great album.
One of my all time favorites.
"Any day" and "Tell the truth" are great tunes on that album! "Keep on growing' is another!
Imagine being Patti hearing this for the first time and hearing Eric pour his heart out to you.Another great song from the LP is "Key To The Highway, great bluesy and guitar track.
Nobody has more songs written about them than Patty Boyd! The version or performance Eric does on this song on the live album 24 Nights with the National Philharmonic Orchestra is a exceptional version and you have to give it a listen
Eric Clapton is the only person ever to be put in the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame three times. This band could potentially be a fourth time if they go in.
The deserve it for creating the greatest single collection of songs on one album ever.
Derek & The Dominoes! The 'Layla' album is utterly amazing! Great pick!!
There's just about no bum tracks on the whole album!
A Perfect Album "Why does love have to be so sad" "Have you ever loved a woman" and the greatest cover of "Little Wing"🎸
It really is literally perfect. I always tell people that Layla is actually the least interesting song on it, that's how good this album is.
@@jasonwaters6607Totally agree. It's the greatest collection of songs in rock history and my desert island album.
LET IT GROW- Derek and the Dominoes
Guys, because this is blues, it prompts me to URGE you to find a video on TH-cam. It is Eric Bibb, live singing “Don’t Let Nobody Drag Your Spirit Down”. You, & the whole RSR family will LOVE IT. BTW, LOVE YOU BOTH !!
never did E.C. bare his soul like he did in this gem
Glad you are exploring deeper into the album. It is phenomenal and such a short lived group. Clapton was in five bands and had embarked upon his solo career within ten years. The combination of him and Duane Allman on most of the Layla album was perfect. They became great friends too. My favorite is Key To The Highway
“Layla (and other assorted songs)” is such a great album. A classic. Love this song.
Clapton's pain and passion are on display here...that Patti- man. Y'all have to check out the LIVE version- don't screw it up- of Motherless Children. Clapton! J.J Cale! Derek Trucks (baby face) and the MONSTER Steve Jordan on lead drums- just incredible drumming. Yes three guitar heroes overshadowed by the drummer. Great bass player too. This is rock and roll people.
My absolute most favorite Clapton song.
My favourite song by Derek and the Dominoes is Layla and such an incredible song too as you have already stated, so good on you! Though I also love the song 'Tears In Heaven' which Eric Clapton wrote as a solo artist for the film 'Rush' about loss of a child. He wrote it about his son who was involved in a fall from the 53rd floor of a New York Skyscraper in the 1990's which was such an incredibly sad event, totally heartbreaking💔for him and his wife but also incredibly heart wrenching 💔😱❤️🩹in the film for which it was written too! Such a very beautiful song though! ❤️🥰❤️🩹
PATTI BOYD!! A modern day muse for two of the most gifted and talented artists in music history. She inspired them to create some of their biggest hits that we still get to enjoy to this day decades later. ( and they both married her didn't they?) They are both cemented in their legacy, but she's a legend!!!
I have always loved this song ❤
Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs. From beginning to end, one fantastic album.
The Core and this song are my two favorite Clapton songs.
I can't tell for sure whether or not you guys realize that's Eric Clapton singing his heart out over George Harrison's wife. But i fell in love with this song as a teenager and sat down with my guitar and sweated and struggled nonstop until i taught myself to play it, along with Procul Harem's "Whiter Shade of Pale". Living in the boonies isolated that was how i learned everything, lol. But the sound of the melody was sparkles in my ears. 😊
Derek & The Dominoes are great! I suggest "Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad" or "Have You Ever Loved A Woman" next. Don't forget to check out the song "Layla", Eric Clapton solo.
Talk about standing the test of time. An old style that was rare because few could do THAT, but all this time later and just COME ON. Absolute fucking master. At a game few ever even tried. He went back to this genre with "Tears in Heaven" when his son died.
Another great from this album is "Why Does Love Got To be So Sad?". I think you'd like it...really smoking guitars! Also, their version of Hendrix's "Little Wing", and "Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out". Heck, pick any song from that album ("Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs") and you'll smile!
Great reaction. Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs is an album full of bangers. Anyday and Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad? should be next. Clapton is God.
I dig this so much. Every song on this album kicks.
The song of his that just touches my soul is Let It Rain. Not the flashiest, but just seared into my soul. BB blues is also a top favorite Clapton song. ❤
A Clapton classic. If you haven't yet heard it, there's a 17-minute version on "In Concert" that has what may be the greatest live guitar solo in history. Give it a listen.
As an aside, keyboardist Bobby Whitlock has a channel on TH-cam where he tells a ton of stories not only regarding this album but also his previous work with DeLaney and Bonnie and friends, which included Clapton, George Harrison and Leon Russell, Bobby Keys among others. My favorite story being about DeLaney and Leon Russell writing the Groupie song, more commonly known as Superstar made famous by Karen Carpenter. Lots of drama in the stories and you imagine what could have been with all assembled talent.
