[Zazalahyene]

@MrRockermocker I love Elton, but Clark is a freaking good pianist too ! :)

[MrRockermocker]

[JRFproductions]

Probably my favourite video on youtube.

[myredpip]

[Zazalahyene]

@myredpip Non, It's Alan Clark from dIRE sTRAITS. :)

[V4Vouchi]

before this summer i didn't know of this song. but every monday, in the hotel i'm working there is a barbecue night hosted with live music. one of those modays i heard the musicians play this song and sing it. ever since this song is allways played for me on modays :D

[green3825]

I've heard Eric say in an interview he doesn't like to play the lead guitar in this piece because he can't play it right, and usually delegates it to another guitarist. He got it right this time. Maestro.

[green3825]

Alan Clark..a great keyboardist. No wonder Knopfler let him go.

[maxofschierling]

nathan east baby!

[Serapch]

@mkprs Thank you!

[MegaFabio94]

yes the piano is a piano of romao and juliette because alan clark was a member of big DIRE STRAITS

[sboudai]

The intro in piano is Romeo and juliet



[Serapch]

[mkprs]

@Serapch Nathan East

[guzmanbur]

7:40, la cara de Clapton lo dice todo: ni él puede creer el tema que compuso!!! Como lo disfruta!

[CHAKAMALI]

No es la ropa, ni como se ven , es la Magia que sale al juntar, Eric clapton, su Majestad Mark Knopfler, y Mister Elton John.

[EggTheBox]

La cosa che mi ha fatto piangere è stata che questo video l'ho editato io sotto l'account Dappidu che è stato cancellato da Youtube prendendolo dall'originale dvd...ma in realtà sono felice perchè ora so che quello che ho fatto ha dato emozioni ed è sopravissuto a sti stronzi. Bravi che l'avete scaricato e l'avete salvato...

[Pandagae]

LA VERSIONE PIù BELLA DI LAYLA !

ERC CLAPTON UN MITO!

[Pandagae]

ERIC CLAPTON NUMBER ONE !

[mumbai39]

awesome version of layla

[elmakartany]

The best Clapton's Leyla live !Thanx for posting.

[C2Dlive]

Clapton looks like an 80s-Mafiosi :D

[XezeMaster]

Mark Knopfler, Eric Clapton and Elton John together and the result is: brilliant!

[Catsnamed]

Anyone know who the 2nd backup singer is? I believe one is Tessa Niles...not certain who is who. Percussionist is Ray Cooper, a real performer and showman. Gigantic talent on that stage!! I wonder what the date was?

[McMurdoJack]

Who is that freaking percussion bald man?! He plays with all musicians!! Eric, Mark, Paul, Elton...

[dkrlady]

He´s RAY COOPER !!!

[DJM1990]

The guy playing the tambourine in the background at 3:08 is hilarious...

[bratgrzyb]

oh my god... that's amazing, awesome ! one and only !! beautiful live Layla... no mistakes... and Eric's solo... brilliant

[Guilherme9640]

The  piano intro if clearly from romeo and juliet

[sharmanz12]

AWESOME.......................­.....THE BEST :-)

[axetus]

Mark is doing little bit Sultans of Swing-solo 09:26--> :D

[Bustio82]

@axetus you're right!!!!

[TalaJenta]

This is class...real class.

[bullat01]

How the F can anyone dislike this~??!?!?!

i am officially a mass of goosebumps!

[shaq666uk]

Best Live Layla!

[EvelcyclopS]

romeo and juliet keyboard riff - on layla, awesome!

[greshgallagher]

perfect!

[shaq666uk]

One of the best solo's... EVER! Awesome stuff.

[markve21]

Ray Cooper+1

[RbKkid61]

gotta love the cigarette on top of the guitar lol

[Nyco11]

@RbKkid61 They make cancer....

[gaetano76ita]

it's super!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!

[keyboards73]

Oh this is a live in Tokyo! we can hear Eric saying at the end 'thank you Tokyo'

Elton John probably was also touring in Japan at the same time and was invited on stage. Great idea ;-)

[keyboards73]

It was 1988 - At that time, Mark Knopfler and Alan Clark (Dire Straits main keyboards player) were touring with Clapton. For this particular show Elton John was also on stage (I don't know why?) but usualy Alan was alone tacking care of the keyboards.

Great version!!

[rubberduck2897]

year of epic wins

[paulvandickisaprick]

what year was this?

[paulvandickisaprick]

EPIC!!

[555azerty555]

One of the best live versions of layla in mine opinion ! Playing an incredible solo, he 's really on fire ! and ofcourse backed up with one of the best musicians !

[Alkatras]

I love this version

[rajah524]

guitarfan67 -could- be right, of course, but Eric was usually sporting very long hair in the late '80s.

[rajah524]

There -are- a lot of great versions of Layla out there, but this one really -does- seem to supply every single piece of the pie. Based on Eric's "Russell Crowe" physical appearance, I'm going to guess it's about 1992 or 3 here. I've had fun playing along; I expect others will, as well.

[guitarfan67]

I think this was late 1988

[Selectivemusic]

Mark, Eric and Elton, Really Good Combination, I've never seen something like this, a Classic song played by classic stars! Thanks for post it!!!

[mcalvani]

What concert is this from and does anyone have the ability to get the whole thing on a DVD? FANTASTIC
