The FUNCTION of the chord as part of the progression determines what you call it. If the chord was just played on its own it could be called either D9/A or Am6.

I disagree,. they are two different chords, even if they are composed by the same notes.
In fact D9/A is an inversion of D9, but from the harmonic point of view this doesn't make it automatically a Am6.

For the record there is no d note in A min 6. You could look at an Am6 as a d9 minus the root, but then it would be correct to say it depends on the function it's playing... i.e. in an A blues, it would confuse the matter to call the d7 an Am6 (and pretty much flat out wrong). In other words Credit2Dementia is exactly right.

The song is in the key of E. The tonal center is E so D9/A is the correct notation. D9/A is just a chord inversion with the 5th in the bass.
Am6 would imply that they song modulated into a different key since diatonically, the 5th chord in the key of E should be an A .

I played this tune some years ago with a rare trio (piano and two guitars).

That is correct.

minor6 is the characteristic of aeolian, and maj6 of dorian.
how did you add the chords to your vid?

Used Photoshop to create transparent PNG files and inserted them into the video using Premiere.
