How could the year be 1999 when Duane died in 1971? This is an awesome song!

@FaithIlene Its the release year of the album The Blues. i don't have any information when the records were made exactly but most of the stuff are outtakes from the 70's

This was all the inspiration I needed to pursue learning bottleneck slide.

[WhatWentWrong22441]

The two greatest guitarists of all time. Period.

@iamahipo1 yes, Eric is leading the whole song in an open G tuning, the song's key, and is able to do all the riffs and solos, while Duane is in an open D and plays the rhythm, as it's very uneasier to play the riffs in G with all the open strings that Eric can play....

One of my favorites.

Any idea on whose part is whose on the guitar?

Clapton was on his best when he is with Allman, I always thought so

@FaithIlene It's an out take from the derrick and the dominoes session from 1970 in Miami FLA.

This is one of greatest versions of this song ever. I think it was recorded when the Layla album was recorded, 1970. It is included on the box set of Layla. Great song. Thanks for posting.

@FaithIlene Common sense...not all that common
