  • I was at the Fillmore East that night. I was there when this was being recorded. I was on a date with Carol Oppenheimer from the Bronx. Ah! What ever became of Carol!?

  • @David50s Probably on facebook dude

  • if u enjoy a good guitar solo i highly recommend this video!!!

  • ...wow.

  • If you like this song then try getting the entire album.....INSANE

  • no please no pictures! this is just fine =

  • Crap it won't load.

  • GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Eric knew they were recording,He was spraying his throwth after each song.

    I was at both early & late shows..

    THey were both great!!!!!1

  • The drummer is running away from doing hes job.

  • Awesome jam, I can't get enough of this.

  • I have to say I think Derek & The Dominos does it better then Hendrix or at least this version they do

  • The vocals just knock me out.

  • isn't duane allman supposed to be playing in this version?

  • I love this version...absolutely the best one...ever!!

  • when i first hered of this song i used to go straight to eminen but now i when i look back, i see how stupid i was

  • I need tabs for bass (or the chords) for this version!!!

  • Develop your inner ear and you won't need them.

  • No there isn't any video of the concert. The band didn't even know that it was being recorded.

  • wow this is great . eric and bobby do this almost as great as the great himself,i.m.o. awesome band ,one of the g.o.a.t.

  • yes, from a huge hendrix fan. just got through a book on this record. eric is alot thinner than jimi through the solo. but incredible.

  • thialbum made me want to sing and play the guitar. Favorite album of all time. RIP carl and jimi

  • dude, this is THE one. my eyes are all hot from this. wow. shit man. i'm 4 minutes into it, and i'm cryin. i'm savin this one. good year, favorite place...sweet music...thank God.

  • ditto buddy!!

  • One of the greatest bands to ever walk the earth.  But also one of the biggest tragedies ever in music

  • What is the tragedy?

  • Hendrix died 1 month before this performance. This is Clapton remembering a friend in his own way

  • this is the best version of little wing...ever

  • Someone knows if theres a video version of this song?

  • no, the only video ever taken of D&D (at least that survived until today) is the video of them on the Johnny Cash Show, playing "It's Too Late" and "Matchbox" with Carl Perkins.

  • ohhh... thats so sad....i love this version... thanks for the advice...

  • Yes, we made a video version of this song, I hope you like it...

  • Thanks for posting this. Historic, epic.

    What a band that was: Duane Allman (not present here) dead; Carl Radle dead; Jim Gordon (excellent drumming) in prison for life for killing his mother. Bobby Whitlock still alive but not doing much. Only Clapton still standing, larger than life.

    They don't make these kind of bands anymore....

  • correction.

    Whitlock has released a few more albums recently with Coco Caramel including new versiions of

    layla

    why does love got to be so sad

    bell bottom blues

    and Gordan is now self admitted in a psych ward. heavy on medication to control the schizophrenia that led him to kil his own mother. Derek and the Dominos. Rocks greatest tragedy

  • yeah!!!!good job, and very hot bass!!!

  • I'm assuming that this is a heartfelt tribute to Jimi. This is only about a month after Jimi died. This is beautiful.

  • Actually, it was recorded during the Layla sessions, 8 days before Hendrix died and later included on the album as tribute--kind of freaked the band out at the time--Great group, but a heck of a lot of bad mojo surrounded them.

  • this was the live version that was recorded a month after Jimi died. he died in September this was recorded in October.

  • u r correct sir..........

  • 1970 , oct 23 wish you were there

  • I prefer the master, Jimi, nuff said.But this was a tribute.....

  • Yeah!!

  • Love the Hendrix version, really love the Stevie Ray version, but have always loved this one the most! Sigh....

  • I consider it a personal tribute. He was prety close to him when he died. Plus, prety much evrything Clapton touches is gold anyway

  • hahaha...Clapton too soft. ok then.

  • Clapton saw hendrix the night he died and had bought him a left handed strat (one of the first).

  • alas, never had the chance to give him that left handed strat because he never was able to personally see hendrix that night.

  • Very very nice. My favorite version of this song is by Eric not Jimi

  • Totally amazing. He did this with Steve Winwood at MSG last month and blew the roof off!!!! He is truly a gifted artist. If God played the guitar, he'd be called Clapton!!!!

  • That's funny. . .a lot of bridges used to feature those very words in the late '60s and early '70s. "Clapton is God". I remember them well. College kids were fond of writing on bridges . . they're other favorite slogan of the day was even more poignant: "Dick Nixon before Nixon Dicks you"

  • or "re-elect Nixon in '72, while change dicks in the middle of a good screw."

    those were the days

  • And...".remember Kent State 4"

  • One of my favorites all time. Clapton might just be god...

  • waw amazing ! wonderful

  • damn

  • wonderfull

  • whos singin

  • eric clapton and bobby whitlock

  • Wow! This is a truely great song. I loved the original, I loved Sting's version and this one is very cool. Jimi's song writing ability has not been fully recognised.

  • I think his songwriting ability is recognized by some people. But yeah, Hendrix gets a lot of credit for his playing, which can actually be sloppy at times. But not the writing, which is usually genius. Few people do straight blues anymore, its always blues-rock. Jimi was a real legend. Just like many, he was stolen from us too early. Imagine what he would be writing today!

  • Very nice - was one of my favourite songs from the Layla album.

  • Performed a little over a month after Jimi died, no less.
