Eric Clapton + Phil Collins - Layla - Live Birmingham, England, July 1986 HQ

[Xaffax]

My GOD! That 1986 intro must be one of the most beautiful pieces of improvised guitar playing I know. Got me a red guitar NOW WHERE CAN I FIND ME A MIAMI VICE SUIT!!!

[drockkclapton]

Thumbs up if you remember this one from the Cream of Eric Clapton VHS.

[drockkclapton]

In my opinion, this is the best Layla solo ever. Might be Clapton's best tone ever too.

That's my definition of a dream team! People from completely different musical and cultural backgrounds, learning with each other, working with each other, respecting each other, complementing each other - to perfection! That's a perfect example how the world should be!

[TVdinners8579]

COOOOLL!!!

[avajo99]

Just to add...Phil Collins is unbelieveable on this and drives Clapton to his genius state...

[QUEENMUSICAUDIO]

Roger taylor of Queen and Phil collins have the same different drum fills i love both of them hahahaha phil collins and roger taylor rocks

[avajo99]

I agree...the best live Layla by far...I'm a Clapton fanatic (Derek and the Dominoes Live - his best live recorded performances career-wise - get the old vinyl version, it has a great version of WDMLGTBSS, much better than the CD - the rest is the same on both and amazing) and this version of Layla is Clapton phrasing and beautiful touch at its best - he's one of a kind...

Thumbs up from Copenhagen

A great drummer makes a difference and Phil Collins has to be one of the best drummers I've ever heard. Great song, great performance, the kind of music you'd wish the next generation will search for on their 2 inch cybertablets. Wish Eric played on his black guitar for this one though :P

[ronnied828]

by far the "best" version of this song done live,period !

[guitaristgary]

Well and truly ON FIRE during his guitar solo

[webmastergarymoorenl]

For years I'm a Knopfler, Gilmour and Gary Moore fan, but this was the song that got me playing guitar in 1986.

[tarrodechela]

This song it's explosive, the best song of Clapton!!

[MrDport17]

I love this song and i love his tone, but there is a line where there is to much chorus

s

[JakPheonix]

i loved it from 0:01 to 9:39 :)

so glad my dad raised me on this

[guitaristgary]

@JakPheonix me too!!!

[scoff10]

the bass guitar from 2:17 - 2:30 is sweet

[Loily87]

4:05 till 4:20 => best part... just amazing ;-)

[solovoy1989]

Best version ever!!!!!!!!!!

[SrdjanLimich]

Thanks Pattie Boyd for inspiration for this legendary song. Greetings from Armenia.

[kmccracken51]

This really brings back memories. I saw Clapton/Collins live in Indianapolis in the mid-late 80's and for me was the most fabulous concert ever. Great version of my fav Clapton tune too.

[aihoschema]

5:11 the beautiful Greg Phillinganes piano playing, then those unmistakeable Phil Collins drums come in and the whole band plays the instrumental part - like clockwork. Awesome! Epic! I love it how these guys enjoy what they are doing.

[narnode]

I love the difference in this version, where he dosen't plat the "high" part after each Layla. if you know what I mean

[ehmtube]

@narnode good catch.

That is the very reason why I upload this one here. I like it better.

[sirgerry]

Eric was on fire on this solo, amazing

Phil Collins often plays drums like for Clapton, Queen and many more. Hes quite good drummer.

Didn't he die recently? Sad if he did, he was an amazing drummer.
