in my humble opinion......this has to b in the top 5 of best live recordings ever....`cept i cant seem to find"got to get better in a little while"no other version b 4 or after right up to present tense can hold a candle to the one on this.....can i get a little help.......thanx
@bellbrass Yes. I agree. Jim Gordon is that good. Carl Radle on bass and he provide one of the greatest rhythm sections in rock history. Listen to Let It Rain of this same album. They are machine like in their intensity and with beautiful nuance, not just robotic. The Dominos were underrated because they came so soon after Cream for EC but history is telling another story.
This is my favorite version. This was on the D&D Live album (vinyl) but when the CD version was later released it was omitted for another fine rendition. The main lead on the Layla album was done by Duane Allman, another example of the late great guitarists incredible talent. Thanks for posting this fantastic version with its beautiful major 7th chords in the jam out at the end.
I've been playing the drums for all my life..I can play stuff by Neil Peart, Stewart Copeland, Carl Palmer....but damned if I can get Jim Gordon's stuff down at expert level. He's that good.
This is great, but I prefer the Live at the Fillmore version. Maybe its because I heard it first. And no Duane Allman does not play on this. And as awesome as Allman was on the album version I think Clapton is the better player. Clapton gave Allman most of the lead guitar parts on the album as an incentive to stay and play with him. I'd be interested in hearing the album done completely by Clapton...
This is Clapton at his peak. Such a beautifully built off-the-cuff solo that just keeps you riveted til the end. There are technically better players of course, jazz guys with their diminished, melodic minor scales and harmonic complexity (i like jazz too), metal shredders (yawn), astounding country pickers, but can any of them move an audience to tears, or give them goosebumps, via the masterful, transcendental use of a basic pentatonic scale? um, nope.
From the very tight drum intro to the final Clapton extended outro, this song is truly one of the great rock classics. IMHO, Clapton's best guitar work for all time. Truly amazing and the end is actually a tear jerker.
What a great ensemble -- keyboardist Bobby Whitlock, bassist Carl Radle and drummer Jim Gordon, who had all played with Clapton in Delaney, Bonnie & Friends.
Hammond B3 organ leading you into the light with Eric right along side and yes, right there to take you home...
@lateforthesky61 I absolutely MUST agree that Clapton's solos on this album are among his best; the way the three other members of this grreat ensemble provide the backdrop onto which allow Clapton to do his thing is just simply beautiful. Without doubt, this Live album is among the very very best.
@lateforthesky61 Just got the Live At The Fillmore disc, and I like this version better, particularly the way the first minute and a quarter lays out the grove. Perhaps my favorite opening of any song I've ever heard. Gordon/Radle/Whitlock rival any backing band ever assembled. Clapton was the perfect frosting.
I agree with whoever said that they couldn't understand why they put the other show's cut of this song on the CD Release of this album over this one...who knows what they were on...this album IMO is him at his absolute peak...another level up from Cream....I know Gibson vs Strat....love both periods, but...
Folks, there is another version of this song done within two days live at the filmore. Instead of doing this version which we all remember from the double live album. They do it much faster ( like on the studio album). I bought it on a double live cd anniversary editon). On this version recorded within two days at the same venue, Clapton does a totally blistering solo. Total goosebumps when you hear it.
pcudone, actually the original version is awesome as it showed how two of the greatest guitarist played so well together and were so in tuned with each other. Their feather finger playing had nothing to do will how hard or fast they played but more about how intricate their individual playing was. It is brillant music that will never be duplicated again. paul
some music ,like this cut ....well lets just say live is better ...i dont think this particular jam was ever done as well no matter what the in carnation......
I agree with Jumpman. This is my favorite of all the versions of this song. And I love Jimbo's great rhythm section.
As for Duane vs. Eric and who was better... Eric went looking for Duane and as soon as they met, they were immediate peers and equals soul to soul. I'm sure Duane would have been very happy to hear these comparisons to "god"... yes, he was great, and what a loss to the music world to go so soon and leave so young.
I have never seen a hint of jealousy with EC. If you were great he wanted to play with you. Through Youtube I have seen him play with greats such as Carl Perkins, George Harrison, Muddy Waters, Albert King, etc. HEWAS INTO THE MUSIC. NOT INTO HIMSELF.
@tomcaroscio Amen. Sometimes Eric almost seems shy/embaressed by all the acolades laid upon his shoulders. I got a DVD called Nothing But the Blues were he talks about how great all the old blues players are and he tries his best to do their songs justice. I wonder who will carry the torch when Eric is gone?
I think I might be the only one here that prefers the Fillmore version of this song which strikes me as more confident and is flawless in terms of execution and precision.... maybe because I heard it first. Although this version blows me away too.
This is eric at his best,,play boy play,,hendrix -clapton -jose wales-this is clapton at his very best..In this time -I think 1975,,have a nice day.....
Oh Heck ya!! This version is BY FAR theee best version there will ever be!! Sure, Claptons guitar excellence is, as usual, unparallelled, but the way Jim Gordon sets the pace with the drums at the start and then Clap and the others come into the jam. Truly electrifying and original to say the least. The whole album, to me, is better than Layla. Just sayin.
they put the other show's cut on the CD (they did 2 shows that night and the CD version has the worse cute..this is from the vinyl album version...the CD version is not even close to this one..he was really on for this one and really off for the other one - but the other songs on the CD are the ones from the album and is defintely Clapton at his best (guitar and vocals) - just unbelievable...
Gotta believe whoever hit the 'dislike' button is dyslexic and didn't mean it.....I mean how could anyone dislike EC at the absolute peak of his powers?
This track and "Got to get better in a little while" of the "In concert"-album is imo Clapton at his possible peak.I can´t really stand listening to Clapton post 1971...But THIS is so good!
My favorite thing about this cut - aside from the *amazing* guitar work of EC - is the terrific musicianship of the whole band playing together. Carl Radle, hanging out in the background, playing bass, Jim Gordon's (poor guy!) bright and shiny percussion riffs and rolls, and Mr. Raw Velvet, Bobby Whitlock, on the B3 and backing vocals. The evolution of the song from intro to bridge to orgasmic crescendo and thence to release and afterglow - just amazing. A triumph! Compare to "Heroin" by the V.U
@runreilly I believe the album is called "Derek and the Dominoes: In Concert" recorded live at the Fillmore East (just like the gol dang best Allman Bros Album, 2-LP "Live at the Fillmore East" and same vintage too). The double LP set is long out of print and some reissues do not have THIS version -- the best ever -- of WDLGTBSS. Available at CD Universe as item #6826416. I ran the wheels off this disk in the winter of 1974-1975. Amazing. Never to be repeated, or outdone!
@videotater I went thru (2) copies of this record trying to nail Eric's guitar on this during the same time in 1974. And 36 years later.... I'm close. But, I'm STILL working on it! ;-)
@videotater You DEFINITELY got that right. thanks for the heads up on where to pic this up on cd!! I had the album years ago and wore it the @#** out!!! I'm sooo glad to know it's available. This particular album gives the term "tight" to the industry as far as unforgettable jams are concerned. Sounds pretty flawless to me.
Allman was great and he played like a devil in album ( esspecially in WDLGTBSS )... But this.... its simply unpretendable ...excelent, smoth, dark, with lot of feeling...
This is for me better version, due to its darkness, not wildness :)
Clapton or Allman? They are both great. The studio version of this song on Layla with Duane is great. Two different kinds of players, Duane was super fast and raw, maybe Hendrix could keep up with him. Clapton was tight and in control, nobody was that refined. I never get tired of listening to either one. In real life they were friends and in awe of each other until Duane's unfortunate early demise.
My favorite version of this song ever, One of my top best songs of all time. Sure listened to this a lot after my love of 20 yrs left. Probably damaged my hearing but helped me heal. Oh yeah!
Personally i feel that this was the best live performance of Derek and the Dominoes. Every instrument resonates in this session. They never got together for another album. They just disintegrated with Eric moving on successfully. But this song will remain forever etched in my heart : )
@bthoma1 actually most people like this one better including me. more feeling, more smooth, and claptons phrasing is amazing. duane is a great guitarist, but he just doesnt have what clapton has.but then again no one does. theres a reason why people gave clapton that nickname
@jumpmanJB23 thats why opinions and musicians are so great. So very different. Most people like it better huh? based on what? the littl poll you did with you buddies?
@jumpmanJB23 tons of comments saying the exact opposite as well, but you would know that since you read all the comments on here and the videos of the original version :)
@jumpmanJB23 No doubt Clapton''s solo here is one of the best I've ever heard, in fact, this is my all time favorite from Clapton. But try to listen to Duane's solo on Whipping Post and Memory of Elizabeth Reed and Loan Me a Dime maybe you will like them too...I'm pretty sure you heard them before anyway...God bless brother ,,
@celso610 indeed i have dont get me wrong i think Duane is amazing. They both have phenomenol, feel, phrasing, soul, aggression as well as control in their playing
This version from the first set of that night ..... correct album cover. I had a couple copies of the vinyl in the 80's. I'll always be partial to this version than the one on the 1994 release, it's all excellent though. I just remember playing the vinyl over and over ..... and over again when I was 13. This record got me through a major depression. Thanks for posting ..... now that I'm old enough to have some idea what I'm listening to.
@benchracr73 Were can I get a copy of this album please someone help me plus got tickets for Arco show wife pissed on what I spent, Oh well it is worth it Slowhand is getting along in years he cannot do this forever.
@benchracr73 Were can I get a copy of this album please someone help me plus got tickets for Arco show wife pissed on what I spent, Oh well it is worth it Slowhand is getting along in years he cannot do this forever.
Duane Allmans slide work on the original is fast and furious,but GODS version without Duane is almost if not equally comparable .What a great song and a great albumn.Thank you GOD,Skydog and Tom Dowd. Carl Radle and Jim Gordon might have been the greatest rhythm section EVER.
This is awesome. It's a great example of taking a great studio take on a song and improving it for a live performance. I would have bet this song live could not compare to the studio version, but EC has proven me wrong! I think that 1970 was the high water mark as far as rock 'n roll music goes. It will be hard to beat that year.
beautiful - I remember playing this over and over when I found this live cd - i cherished it like a gem, it gave me a whole new respect for Clapton , real rock n' roll at it's sweetest :0)
@Antonovich74 Yes only a couple of gigs. DA was only with th eband a couple of weeks or so for the recording of the album. It's wrong to compare the DA & EC versions, it just shows that BOTH were great guitarists!
Has there ever been a guitarist that comes close to Clapton's skill? There are many great musicians out there but Eric Clapton created his own category.
Thanks so much for posting this. It is easily my hands down vote for the smoothest, most polished, well chosen notes/pace ever recorded live by a rock & roll genre electric guitar soloist.
just bought the original vinyl, couldn't believe i found this record for ten bucks. This record has the kind of playing that goes so unoticed. Jim Gordon is a groove machine.
What a wonderful first solo! Full of logic and passion. Maybe the sound of the guitar is a little thin, but Eric make it scream anyway. And what about Jim Gordon? Simply the best!
Hi Eric, what an awesome video...... I just love Derek and the Dominoes, brings back a lot of memories....goosebumps man...... great channel as always, have a great day my friend! Take care
You got it right, JumpMan.....EC is far from the fastest, but his note choice and passion are what make the hair stand up everytime I hear him play....
this is the best version of this song. a very hard record to find. this song brings me memories. thamks for putting it up here.....oh and hows that hammond organ? smoking!
How come no one seems to list Derek & The Dominos music style as partially funky? For me, they sound really funky on the Live At The Fillmore album. That i think is what makes D&D so brilliant, their music sounds like no specific genre. Must be the result from all the jamming they did together.
@RockNRollOverDose Derek and The Dominoes were conceived as a rock version of Sam and Dave, with Eric and Bobby Whitlock trading lead vocals back and forth and then singing the main theme together.
@RockNRollOverDose Bingo! They really hit the note on this version of WDLHTBSS. Too bad the Dominoes and the Allman Brothers didn't tour together during the Fall of 1970. imagine the possibilities and great concerts that would have been!
Jim Gorden I believe murdered his mother and has been in prison for the last 25 years at least, correct me if I'm wrong. Derek Live is one of the most underated LP's ever!
Is this the same Jim Gorden that killed his mother by hammering her head like it was a base drum? Derek and the Dominoes "Live" has got to be one of the most under rated LP's ever!
i won this album from a radio station in 72 and always liked it better than the layla album - even though it is an over press and i played the hell out of it - there is not a scratch on it - someday i will download the rest of it
wow eric clapton is so smooth in his guitar playing. he is my favorite guitarist ever because of smoothness, passion, and love for music. not to mention his crazy solos
I think Jim Gordon's drumming here is just as impressive as Clapton's guitar....and that's saying something! Truly one of the best bands ever assembled.
This is- I believe the best of Clapton. The album is great.I also learned (not note for note) but put me on my way to 24 great years of playing guitar and it was this song that had me pick up the guitar.I still play it almost every time I pick up a guitar --love it ....
Yup, this solo and Let it Rain wrote his name in stone as a master of live soloing. This shit has so much feeling, direction, and balls--he outdid himself. This is peak Clapton soloing. He's best at live solos. That's a major part of his legacy. Listen to 6:30 to 7:10.... Inspired, all blood, no knife flash.
@ZZombian maybe the best guitar solo is some of Duane's Allman performance from Layla. Or maybe it's some of Free Bird performance by Lynyrd Skynyrd from Knebworh ??
@zaciec14 if you wish to learn the dorian mode and molodic phrasing by the the master himself figure this out. i can't believe he did this off the cuff and fucked up even. what a player.
Thanks for the upload: how about the next track, the jaw-dropping 'Got To Get Better In A Little While'? That song, the live version from this concert, has yet to make it's youtube debut..
thank you so much for uploading this man, i have this LP but hacent been able to listen to it ever since my recordplayer got busted. this is just as good as the studio version even though it lacks duane on second smokin guitar. its also my favorite clapton solo, ive never heard him as inspired as he is on this song, anywhere else. i hear a lot of duane in him too, he definately got some of his style into his soul. after recording the layla album. anyways thanks again bro, u made my day
Yes, this sounded really, really good on vinyl back in 1975!

Allman was great and he played like a devil in album ( esspecially in WDLGTBSS )... But this.... its simply unpretendable ...excelent, smoth, dark, with lot of feeling...
This is for me better version, due to its darkness, not wildness :)
Have a Nice Day D ntheD fans :)

Clapton or Allman? They are both great. The studio version of this song on Layla with Duane is great. Two different kinds of players, Duane was super fast and raw, maybe Hendrix could keep up with him. Clapton was tight and in control, nobody was that refined. I never get tired of listening to either one. In real life they were friends and in awe of each other until Duane's unfortunate early demise.

My favorite version of this song ever, One of my top best songs of all time. Sure listened to this a lot after my love of 20 yrs left. Probably damaged my hearing but helped me heal. Oh yeah!
Peace on ya'll

Personally i feel that this was the best live performance of Derek and the Dominoes. Every instrument resonates in this session. They never got together for another album. They just disintegrated with Eric moving on successfully. But this song will remain forever etched in my heart : )

@bthoma1 actually most people like this one better including me. more feeling, more smooth, and claptons phrasing is amazing. duane is a great guitarist, but he just doesnt have what clapton has.but then again no one does. theres a reason why people gave clapton that nickname

@jumpmanJB23 No doubt Clapton''s solo here is one of the best I've ever heard, in fact, this is my all time favorite from Clapton. But try to listen to Duane's solo on Whipping Post and Memory of Elizabeth Reed and Loan Me a Dime maybe you will like them too...I'm pretty sure you heard them before anyway...God bless brother ,,

@celso610 indeed i have dont get me wrong i think Duane is amazing. They both have phenomenol, feel, phrasing, soul, aggression as well as control in their playing

This version from the first set of that night ..... correct album cover. I had a couple copies of the vinyl in the 80's. I'll always be partial to this version than the one on the 1994 release, it's all excellent though. I just remember playing the vinyl over and over ..... and over again when I was 13. This record got me through a major depression. Thanks for posting ..... now that I'm old enough to have some idea what I'm listening to.

Duane Allmans slide work on the original is fast and furious,but GODS version without Duane is almost if not equally comparable .What a great song and a great albumn.Thank you GOD,Skydog and Tom Dowd. Carl Radle and Jim Gordon might have been the greatest rhythm section EVER.

This is awesome. It's a great example of taking a great studio take on a song and improving it for a live performance. I would have bet this song live could not compare to the studio version, but EC has proven me wrong! I think that 1970 was the high water mark as far as rock 'n roll music goes. It will be hard to beat that year.

How come no one seems to list Derek & The Dominos music style as partially funky? For me, they sound really funky on the Live At The Fillmore album. That i think is what makes D&D so brilliant, their music sounds like no specific genre. Must be the result from all the jamming they did together.
RockNRollOverDose 1 year ago
@RockNRollOverDose Derek and The Dominoes were conceived as a rock version of Sam and Dave, with Eric and Bobby Whitlock trading lead vocals back and forth and then singing the main theme together.

Yup, this solo and Let it Rain wrote his name in stone as a master of live soloing. This shit has so much feeling, direction, and balls--he outdid himself. This is peak Clapton soloing. He's best at live solos. That's a major part of his legacy. Listen to 6:30 to 7:10.... Inspired, all blood, no knife flash.
