[rockbestfriend]

is really beautiful

[javelin1010]

LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAYY­YYYYYYYYYYLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLAAAA­AAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[riseagan]

ahah the percussionist must have been getting tired hitting it so many times.

[notlengthy]

it's way to fast wtf

[Easleytee]

@notlengthy

Precisely.

[coffebob]

Why is clapton playing rythm?

[TheMusicchannel23]

brilliant line up..

[akoe1968]

wouwh. this is epic. have a look at their faces. they really enjoy what they are doing. and ray cooper is freaking out. the best live version i ever heared from that song. this is huge!!!!

[dillinger9999]

such an amazing song!

[jportizjp]

Jimmy Page in his own parallel world of music

[MrMleigh56]

Jimmy Page, Steve Winwood, too.

[BlackenedFifth]

is that Steve Winwood on keyboards?



[Sukkii25]

Andy Fairweather Low for the win and Ry Cooder in a valiant 2nd place

[dmcalp5530]

Charlie Watts on drums.



[zade1029]

who gave hitler a tamborine at 1:11 lmaoo

[DavidZeroX]

The piano ending is so fucking epic!!!

[fenderstratman120]

god it must have been hard for eric to lose duane, jimmy,srv, his son, i mean come on hes lost just bout everyone who ever meant anything to him george harrison so many people that guy had to deal with all there deaths

[MsSigno]

DEREK AND THE DOMINOES ARE GREAT!

[bodhranseb]

all we mist on the original was a bloody gong.

[ChasBeauregarde]

Classic anthem! This is a great line up, though we all miss Duane.

[failuremagnet]

I'm pretty sure that is Page in the gray suit, bopping behind and between Andy and Clapton early on. And yes, that's Steve Winwood on Organ. Not sure if that's Nicky Hopkins or not. It might be Chris Stainton, who's has been Clapton's tour pianist for years now. They've both (Hopkins and Stainton) been rocking that shag haircut for a lot of years.

[diegorlsss]

Alguém deveria restaurar essa música u_u

[TheBlockCop]

The video poster doesn't know decent english. But still great song.

[thomas1234w]

still top rated :D

[Slavuernes]

and the late great nicky hopkins on the piano...

[DerDeziBelzeBub]

wtf, this version really rocks... ;)

yeah, play it fast and dirty!

[SDsailor7]

I believe Steve Windwood is also on this line up in the background playing keyboards,correct me if i am wrong.

peace

[geko6]

shit this live version is so much faster

[cast390]

That can't be Jimmy Page,he's not drooling or spitting

[thebrucewayne24]

@cast390 that was jimmy page i remember watching this back then

[LowDeath23]

From 5:00 you can see the bass player laughing on the guy who hit the big gong.

then he shows it to clapton lolz :D

[WillyMcCoy50]

Youtube never gave me chills like this.

[Rabbiglenn]

Holy cow! That's charlie watts on the drums!

[IlPadoquino]

Solo 370.000 reproducciones,que le pasa al mundo????:S

[Muso57]

I don't now how so many musicians, with such huge egos, on stage at the same time can sound so uncluttered and so controlled. Must have been an amazing sound engineer!

[kduncanala]

Everybody know this song is about Patty Boyd, who was married to George Harrison. I am reading her book, "Wonderful Tonight", which was another Clapton song about her. Its a great book and sheds alot of light on the complex relationships that spawned this rock opus.

[blessedtoextream]

NOT Derek and The Dominoes

[AvirtualSwitzerland]

Anybody catch Jeff Beck wiping away a tear @6:24 ?

[AvirtualSwitzerland]

Not a bad rhythm guitarist, huh?........JIMMY PAGE

[AvirtualSwitzerland]

Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck to name a few. It was a Yardbirds reunion for a couple songs if I'm thinking of the right show.....Saw it in SF at the Cow Palace........ARMS TOUR ?

[ViniciusFiocco]

this is the best version I've ever heard. AWESOME.

[richardsonij]

Pianist/keyboard is Chris Stainton.

[thomas1234w]

lol im still highest rated comment ahh good times i still remember laughing my ass off the first time i wrote that comment :D thy good olde days lol :D

[chippy783]

not my favorite layal song but.. oh well

[johnnythunder6565]

the tambourine guy is not jim capaldi, it is an english dude named ray cooper who for a while in the 80's seemed to show up and any and all shows featuring a comgloneration of english superstars. This event is indeed the arms benefit which was a fundraising tour for ronnie lane who at the time was dieng and is indeed dead today from ms. Also on the shows were joe cocker ronnie wood and a host lof others .

[MrFrontallobotomy]

@johnnythunder6565 Someone should hit him over the head with that fuckin' gong!

[jagtone]

"The tambourine guy" is, if I am not mistaken, Jim Capaldi (Traffic). This is not Derek and the Dominoes, but it is an ex-Yardbirds super-guitarist reunion, with the Stones rhythm section and others. Must be a big benefit--ARMS? the Secret Policeman's Ball?

[pedro5157]

Ya ha pasado bastante tiempo desde que el Sr.¨"ArctiKeyboards" publicó su comentario, donde dice "la banda del señor Eric Clapton" pero ahora es cuando yo lo leo. Permítame decirle que esa no es la banda del señor Eric Clapton, ahí están por lo menos dos Rolling Stone, está Steve Winwood (Blind Faith, Traficc...) y por lo menos seis músicos de diferentes bandas. Eso es lo que llamamos en Venezuela un "Trabuco" puros grandes ligas.

[Binaryllusion]

eric is 100000000000000000000000000000­00000000000000000000000 x better

[cooltooth112]

Chris Stainton is a gifted keyboard player. That is who is playing here.

[jasonteten]

ERIC CLAPTON TRIVIA

Eric wrote the song Layla about his undying love for Patti Boyd Harrison. She however was married to his good friend George Harrison at the time. Time was on Eric‘s side however as he married her 9 years later.

[cabmandu]

@jasonteten Common knowledge for the last 40 years.

[dlowell3517]

Wow......once again EC screws his own song. Do you think this version is a tad bit fast? Christ what was he thinking? Thank god for Ray Cooper...he has the slightest clue. Thank God for Jeff Beck...............he also has the slightest clue. Somebody contact EC's management and tell them they need to come up with the extra $500 a week to hire Bobby Whitlock and get this shit right once and for all.

[jasonteten]

@dlowell3517 they are all too excited or maybe they are all tired and wanted to go home after that long tour and concert.

[cooltooth112]

@dlowell3517 Not known by most people but the piano part of the studio version of Layla was played by Jim Gordon and not Bobby Whitlock. One of the reasons he was credited with writing it along with EC. True story.

[avielknot]

i think i saw jimmy page

[TravellerFellow]

manic slop. and was there even a slide guitar. I just couldn't listen to this slop all the way through. sorry thumbs down just a bunch of self indulgent crap. a bunch of lead guitarists and no one could do slide. yuck thumbs down

[dlowell3517]

@TravellerFellow 

[dlowell3517]

@TravellerFellow

Wow these idiots don't even remember that their was a slide guitarist playing on this song. My band in 7th grade gave this song more respect that these idiots do. What a train wreck!!!!. EC should have called a band meeting and looked at Beck and Page and the other billion guitarists on the stage and said" OK which one of you fuckers is going to play Duane's part for him in heaven?" Then he should have given them the record and said "learn it homo or don't show up"!!!!

[bouwmr]

@TravellerFellow i miss duane too :(

[SuperRandomGuitarGuy]

@mattswutsup it sure looks like it to me

[rustler69]

eric clapton a guitar genious glad he's English

[lazlomex]

what a line-up! Clapton with Bill and Charlie, Jeff Beck, Kenny Jones, Andy Fairweather Lowe (no-one else can wear a jacket and white shoes like him!) and Ray Cooper belting that gong with gusto. I'd love to know who else is on stage there!

[MrPanbendito]

@lazlomex What about Jimmy Page?

[Claptonisgod777]

@lazlomex Jimmy Page, Steve Windwood :)

[Juanjonovelda21]

@lazlomex dont forget Jimmy Page!

[deang48035]

@lazlomex Steve Winwood @ 1:25

[PepeMoreno49]

@lazlomex I can readily see Jimmy Page there

[elmorrismehacefeliz]

@lazlomex what about Page?????

[dm7b5]

@lazlomex Looks a lot like Jimmy Page bouncing around on the right of the screen....



[cabmandu]

@lazlomex Steve Winwood on one set of keys. Not sure how you missed Jimmy Page staggering around. I can't tell if it's John Paul Jones or Chris Stainton playing the piano but both were there.

[Gitaaroverlast]

What? Bill Wyman on bass? Awesome!

[Gitaaroverlast]

What? Bill Wyman on bass?

[Porly62]

Man, thats power- thats how it shoudl sound....compare that to the lame ass 13 million views live version

[mattswutsup]

is that jimmy page in the gray suit?

[Gitaaroverlast]

@mattswutsup Must be!

[Kinuklon]

This looks like a concert I attended at The Alber Hall in aid of Multiple Sclerosis after Plonk Lane of the Small Faces was diagnosed with it. As far as I can remember the main band was Clapton, Fairweather-Low,Wyman,Watts,Wi­nwood and Ray Cooper.

Jeff BEck did a stint while the band took a break and Jimmy Page did a stunning instrumental version of Stairway to Heaven.

It was a long while ago so I may not be totally correct in those facts.

But ti was a hell of a night !!!

[LuckyLeBone]

@Kinuklon you are "correctamundo" my friend. Thanx for your info.

[RayNDeere]

@Kinuklon @LuckyLeBone The ARMS (Action into Research for Multiple Sclerosis) Concert was the official name of the show. Glad you got to see it live. What a show and band!!

[stuartliteh]

10 deaf people watch this vid

[mercer1972]

Pagey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BACARDIDOITDOIT]

Real music ladys and gentlemen.

[MrEwant1980]

wow i never knew charlie watts jimmy page and mark knopfler were in derek and the dominoes, thanks for rewriting musical history your powers are immense

[ClassicTVMan1981X]

There never was a Dominos reunion: Both slide guitarist Duane Allman and bassist Carl Radle died (in 1971 and 1980 respectively) and drummer/pianist Jim Gordon was institutionalized in 1983 for murdering his mom.

[Baci302]

The title of this video is misleading. This is obviously not "Derek and the Dominoes." It's Clapton playing with a bunch of other "stars."

Ugh.

[crossxca]

The douche on the gong took away from what it is a beautiful cover of Duanne Allman licks by Jimmy Page on lead.

[0live0wire0]

that's not derek and the dominos, you got charlie watts on drums and page beck and knopfler too

[computersmangreece]

one of the best classic rocks of all times!-only a note, in this performance it's not derek and the dominos but eric clapton with jeff beck , jimmy page, charlie watts(drums) and some other legends of rock live at madinon square, NY(if my memory serves me correctly)

[JOHNNYG99X]

@computersmangreece I think you'll find it was at the Royal Albert Hall, London.. a special concert for ARMS.. also not sure the year was 1984, more like 1981 i think

[MrRdub7162]

the best rock tune ever written by far

[bigtrukdon]

Epic.

[jnmklo9]

Looks like Charlie and Andy Fairweather Lowe

[hemet92544]

my man Page doing a mighty fine Duane solo along with piano and Bonham is having a good time also!

[marquitosdipalm94]

are jimmy page here? :O

[DeFreezeMePlease]

Can you even hear Jimmy Page at all??

[towser06]

thats not Derek & The Dominoes :-(

[johneverready]

A Martin Scorsese film. lol. Great song.

[quiveror]

wtf went wrong with the gong man @ 5:36 ???

[corcity]

@quiveror He got into the groove

[keith7g7j]

@quiveror you know he knowd what to do, bang the gong get it on!!

[philcinephile]

I love the way Knopfler says to band to take it easy a little . Way too fast!

[grumpy150]

@philcinephile LOL at the tambourine guy @ 1:10

[Burnwash]

'Layla' - it just isn't complete without some clown in the back banging a gong, is it?

1:49 - totally awesome gong solo!

[bwitty2211]

The 1984 date is wrong. This is the 1983 ARMS concert at Royal Albert Hall, organized to raise money for MS research after Ronnie Lane developed the disease. The percussionists are Charlie Watts, Kenny Jones and Ray Cooper. On keyboards are Steve Winwood and Chris Stainton. The guitarists are Clapton, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck and Andy Fairweather Low. This was the first time the three ex-Yardbirds guitarists had ever played together. Key in ARMS 1983 to find other selections.

[TheHokusai73]

wheres now this beautiful music? ooooohhhh ok ok now the bands loves play with a computer...wtf

[abra8067]

Bill Wyman on bass. Might be Ray Cooper on percussion. I bet Charlie Watts got up and slapped him after the set. "That bloody gong gave me a headache!" Might be Keith Richard on the left, can't tell.

[guy0307]

too fast.

[thomas1234w]

wife left me* hehe

[thomas1234w]

wow look at 1:10 the Tambourine guy he goes from a big giant smile to a seriously unhappy face i wounder what he was thinking probally this is awesome then oh damn my wife left wife and that must of made him upset D:

[AsphyxGr]

@thomas1234w i thought of something similar, he is funny hahahaha

[ZBraun95]

@thomas1234w he realized that the person who only plays the tambourine has no real talent! lol

[wc4dblues]

@thomas1234w You know what it is, he just remembered that he's supposed to be playing the gong, not the

tambourine.

[wc4dblues]

@thomas1234w You know what it is, he just remembered that he's supposed to be playing the gong, not the

tambourine. They look so much alike, it's a common mistake.

[miscu99]

@thomas1234w oh my, the best spot on youtube ever methinks!!! hahaaaaaa

[dunskie]

@thomas1234w That's the great Ray Cooper.

[TheTrolliosis]

@thomas1234w i think someone called him a tambourine cunt.... i'd be mad if someone called me a tambourine cunt

[Tommy8330]

@thomas1234w right before "No Man Can Let you down" i guess he let his wife down

[LowDeath23]

@thomas1234w tambourine guy?!

SOME RESPECT TO RAY COOPER!

:)

[strangefruit42]

@thomas1234w The tambourine guy is Ray Cooper, and he is a lunatic in the best sense of the word. He toured with Elton John last year, and those two simply delivered musical manicness (is that a word?) in perfection.

[facedontfit]

DESMOND FROM LOST!?!?!?!?!?!

[dlegend92]

gong guy: eric, jeff and jimmy ain't got no shit on me! *hits gong like it's the end of the world*

[TheWholeYearInn]

@dlegend92 hahahahahahahaha!

[ChimeraAZ]

Oh Mo God,..this guy was sooo hot back then!! CHARLIE WATTS ON DRUMS!! And someone here said 'that guy on the drums was hittin the shit out of those drums,thinkin I should l learn guitar?? HAHAHA! If Charlie hadnt stuck on drums,he might never have been such a massive successful power in the music world.

[bonfirejovi]

who would have though that gong players can be that animated

[longlivetheking58]

@bonfirejovi lol. that's Phil Collins from genesis on the gong. I always thought he looked exactly like Ernest T. Bass on the Andy Griffith show......

[nessaaredhel]

Notable! Me encanta... mejor que la versión acústica... Eric Clapton tenía que ser ;D

[sr5813]

that man is hitting the shit out of that gong and that tambourine, sure he was thinking "this is awesome, i should learn guitar"

[Sisury]

That's a damn lot of sound! Masterpiece!

[mlkemper]

steve winwood on keyboards

[kc1921]

I'm a big EC fan and I know they were doing this for charity, but damn it's as if they can't get out of there fast enough. An extra 3 minutes wouldn't hurt anyone

[neos64]

the best version ever !

[seedless6969]

i would shit and vomit all over the stage out of control

[BoomBoxJakey]

Clapton was already a corporate sellout at this point.

[clas78690]

I Love Eric Clapton xDDD

[XcHeRoL]

1:09

OOOOOOMMMMMGGGG

i love that guy X_X

[coffeewymn324]

The drummer is Charlie Watts from the Rolling Stones

[SithHadouken]

@coffeewymn324 Damn straight. I showed my friend this video he's a huge RS fan. He was like who's the drummer. I kicked him in the shin and walked away.

[seanathen123456789]

lmfao 1:12

[squitzy]

Is that Nicky Hopkins on piano?

[slimbuttermilk]

@squitzy That's actually Chris Stainton piano. He's played with Tons of musicians, but Eric used him a lot. I was first introduced to him through his playing with Joe Cocker back in the late 60's/early 70's.

RE: This clip is a bit misstitled, huh? There aren't any of the Dominos on this stage.

[kneedragger81]

Hell Yeah....Charlie Watts on drums!

[mlsku]

Why the hell doesn't Page solo?! Goddamn I love this video though!

[bluesmann8]

thank you!

[gsk0658]

awesome!

[seleneczz]

Genial!

[gunshapedbox]

eric clapton seems "lost" tv show's 'desmond'

[joizzy87]

@gunshapedbox Thats so funny I was just going to say that.

[klotzstang]

@speedguitar88 Andy Fairweather Low, before he wore glasses. He was in "Clapton and freinds, usually with a black Stratocaster with Humbuckers.

[JOHNYOCHO]

wish the scientist hurry up with time travel...

[lpodruchny]

Some amazing talent all together at one time!!!! I loved this when I first saw it when it originally aired and I love it now!!!!

[klotzstang]

Before Andy worw glasses. This is way after The Dominos.

Ray Cooper, Andy Fairwheather Low, Jeff Beck, George Harrison, and a few others were not part of Derek and the Dominos!

[ahclem]

@klotzstang . No George there, sorry. My big question is why neither Rod Stewart (solo) or Ronnie Wood (a member of the Rolling Stones by then) could find the time to show up for a concert whose actual original intent was to raise funds for an iron lung for Ronnie Lane who was suffering from both MS and the catastrophic medical bills he'd accumulated due to the disease. After all, both Rod and Woody were his band-mates in Faces until leaving for bigger and better things

[klotzstang]

@ahclem Freeze frame at 5:07, it went by kind of fast, one of the former Yardbirds looked like Geo.

[klotzstang]

@klotzstang He even had a harrison trademark striped shirt, and smiled like Geo. He was playing guitar next to Jeff Beck, to EC's right. Try freeze framing at 5:07

[ahclem]

@klotzstang . That's Bill Wyman of the Rolling Stones playing Bass

[ardee1980]

I also spy Rolling Stones Charlie Watts and Bill Wyman.

[PWNDURASS12]

Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page. Nuff said

[klotzstang]

@PWNDURASS12 Jimmy page "Stoned again, naturally."

[Spe4io]

The BEST i have ever heard !!!!

[terribrowning54]

one of claptons greatest songs! love it!

[rimmelgirl]

This is amazing. Remember when you actually had to be talented and able to sing/ play an instrument well in order to be famous?

[LyLhuNGRTe]

** Just a Great song!! and the best of all is that my name is Layla N. yeeiiiii !!**

[knockavaddera]

Paige looks like such a goober hahaha... IMHO, one lead guitar is usually enough- unless they are properly arranged, exceptionally tight, and rehearsed to death (ex: ABB). For what it is though, this is pretty cool.

[wisesatyr72]

@knockavaddera Jimmy Page was going through a heroin detox thats why he looks like a wet zombie

[klotzstang]

@knockavaddera Page most likely tried to smoke a goober before the show!

[RoddyPiper5]

Nice!

[lullabyou]

this si really cool!!!!

[mimichou53]

j'ai 2 cds de cette super formation ,toujours a regarder et a ecouter avec un grand plaisir ( michel ,france )

[wisesatyr72]

jimmy page has a b-bender in his telecaster to make it sound like a slide guitar and jeff beck can play every note w/his eyes closed

[terribrowning54]

@wisesatyr72 fucking a terribrowning54@yahoo

[dm3830]

Of course it's Page playing a Tele, Multishades. What do you think the solo on Stairway was played on ?? That's right, a Tele. Lots of his work on other Zep songs too. Jeff Beck worked out the basics of use of a Tele for high energy work and Page, no fool, built on that. Unusual to see him play one on stage in the last 35 years I admit.

[MOSKII58]

@dm3830 if you pull up the early zep stuff live thats what he used almost exclusively..i'm talking about the show in Germany or Holland where the kids are sitting in a circle and Jimmy has his dr. lab-smock coat thing that he's wearin he uses his dragon tele for the whole show its in 5 parts here on the tube

[kbl247]

is there a DVD or CD ????

[jbibb66]

Love this live version Eric Clapton is God on the guitar

[hopibooks]

Looks like beck on sweet, high lead

allman said he liked beck a lot.

tour this summer!!!

[MultiShades]

looks like jimmy page back there--can't be he is playing a telecaster

[MultiShades]

looks like jimmy page back there--can't be he is playing a telecaster

@MultiShades that most definitively is Jimmy Page
