Now that's what I call an all star band! Instead of trying to play each other off stage, they play together perfectly, while still retaining their individual signature sound - and it's visible that they all highly respect each other. I love Greg Phillinganes' soulful piano intro at 5:13 followed by a drum pickup that screams "Phil Collins!". The entire "end section" is epic!
Man, Clapton still had 'The Spark' back then. There's something to be said about battling inner demons and channeling that back out through music. Guess he's just too comfortable now. But that's fine - he's done more than enough musically to last 5 lifetimes. What a band too! No chick singers, no four other guitar players standing around banging out chords... East and Collins make a nasty rhythm section.
Best drummer and the best guitarist! Im a huge fan of Eric and Phil :D all the musicians here put a bit of them self in this version, thats why I love it!
to the two people who disliked this......... bad...... bad dog

Cheers for posting, this is the best version of layla he has ever done, particularly the first solo. Sublime. Second solo best at live aid.
