From the very tight drum intro to the final Clapton extended outro, this song is truly one of the great rock classics. IMHO, Clapton's best guitar work for all time. Truly amazing and the end is actually a tear jerker.

What a great ensemble -- keyboardist Bobby Whitlock, bassist Carl Radle and drummer Jim Gordon, who had all played with Clapton in Delaney, Bonnie & Friends.

Hammond B3 organ leading you into the light with Eric right along side and yes, right there to take you home...

This is Clapton at his peak. Such a beautifully built off-the-cuff solo that just keeps you riveted til the end. There are technically better players of course, jazz guys with their diminished, melodic minor scales and harmonic complexity (i like jazz too), metal shredders (yawn), astounding country pickers, but can any of them move an audience to tears, or give them goosebumps, via the masterful, transcendental use of a basic pentatonic scale? um, nope.

Yes, this sounded really, really good on vinyl back in 1975!

@bellbrass Yes. I agree. Jim Gordon is that good. Carl Radle on bass and he provide one of the greatest rhythm sections in rock history. Listen to Let It Rain of this same album. They are machine like in their intensity and with beautiful nuance, not just robotic. The Dominos were underrated because they came so soon after Cream for EC but history is telling another story.

This is my favorite version. This was on the D&D Live album (vinyl) but when the CD version was later released it was omitted for another fine rendition. The main lead on the Layla album was done by Duane Allman, another example of the late great guitarists incredible talent. Thanks for posting this fantastic version with its beautiful major 7th chords in the jam out at the end.

@bellbrass

Jim Gordon = groove master. As a drummer, I suggest this one.

I've been playing the drums for all my life..I can play stuff by Neil Peart, Stewart Copeland, Carl Palmer....but damned if I can get Jim Gordon's stuff down at expert level. He's that good.
