Duane was not only one of the greatest quitar players players of all time,he was kind, gentle, shy and I had the privilege of knowing him. I was there in Critera Studios when there when they jammed this into beiing. God bless you Duane and Barry I have missed you all this half century..
I don't mean to put a dark cloud over anything, but I must ask...if you were at Criterion at this point, there a few almost conflicting versions of how Jim Gordon was acting. This seems to be around the time that possibly people would notice the onset of little flashes of abnormality in him..maybe just a second or two, and I regard his stealing the piano coda from Rita Coolidge to get his name on credit seems odd in itself. An unspecified rift between he and Clapton was taking shape at that point as well. I was wondering if you had any memories of Jim lashing out or acting strange in any way. Just anything that might had caught your attention.
The slide guitar is so sad and beautiful at the same time. There are so many moments in it so evocative that words cannot describe, It almost wells me up. That's the power of music, a few notes can move you in a way a thousand words cannot.
The first time I heard this song I was a young boy. I remember listening and saying to myself those guitars sound like two cats singing to each other what a lovely sound. Now as and old man I still hear those two cats and what a lovelier sound it has become. Thank you.
Duane Allman was the greatest guitar player that the music industry has ever seen or heard. When it comes to Hendrix, Vaughn, Santana and Clapton Duane passed them all. These great musicians played almost all of their lives even regrettably some didn't live long lives. But they played for more than 10 years. Duane only was playing his AX for almost 7 years and slide for 3. Imagine if he had taken up the guitar at the same age as all these phenomenal musicians did. Then you would have to agree that he was the most gifted guitarist in the history of music, whether it was rock, southern white blues, country or however the industry wants to classify Allman's kind of music. Thank you Duane Allman for the joy you brought to millions in just the too short time that you were here.
I agree! It’s like comparing apples & oranges. He was the most talented from the get go! I can’t even imagine what he could’ve done had he lived longer.
Your comments are spot on. Allman Brothers Band has always been my all time favorite group. I’ve always wondered about Duane had he lived a full life. His talent was unsurpassed. People have a tendency to forget those who died young. Terry Kath is another one that doesn’t get his due. Thanks for sharing❤
Duane's virtuosity was second to none Blues, Country & Western ,R&B,Jazz,Soul, ballots. Played folk guitar, dobro, Fender Gibson slide complete virtuosity
Eric Clapton did not help write this song, Rita Coolidge wrote it and played it with The drummer Jim Gordon. Jim Gordon stole the song claimed it was his. The drummer stole the song. She confronted all of the band members, but Clapton’s manager Stigwood threaten to make her life impossible in the music industries. Duane just agreed to play on the album with Bobby Whitlock and others. Duane had no part in it. Eric Clapton and the took the credit for the song. Duane made the great and famous due to his guitar skills. Clapton is over rated always has been.
@@janicekisor8599 Clapton has maintained his according to you "overrated " status as being one of the great guitar legends for a half a century, guess he has been fooling everyone for a looooonnng time! You sound like nothing but a jealous hater.
Funny, the way I've read it is that Clapton wrote it as more of a ballad, Allman joining the recording turned the opening minutes into a guitar festival, lol. To call Clapton over rated is just foolish and shows your ignorance of guitar.
I was a 19 yr old kid in 2002. My stepdad had just been killed in a private airplane accident. After his funeral, i drove out to his hangar that he owned with his buddy, filled with their airplanes. I had to see it one last time before the lawyers took it all away. I sat there choking back tears, watching planes takeoff and land for 20 minutes. When i cranked my truck to leave, the radio was on LA105.3 classic rock, and Layla was playing right at 3:12. That melody has such a feeling of closure for me after that. It felt like saying goodbye. I love this song.
Such a marvellous song, with two great performers: EC and Duane Allman, the piece belongs to the world Olymp of greatest songs ever produced and performed ....! That is Layla!
A muscician who can express their emotions through their music, make you feel what they feel, is truly a gift from God, and Duane was the best. I literally cry when i hear this outro.
I still play the "Dreams" cut from that famous night at the Fillmore at least once a week. Was 18 in '71 when I first heard it, and I still get misty EVERY time I hear it today !!!
Just one thing to say -- this is top guitar work from 70, two of the best guitarists find each other. No competition between them, just getting the best out of each other and making wonderful guitar-rock. Almost everyone knows what we lost in Hendrix, but just a few have got with them that the loss of Duane Allman was in the same class.
So many- Hendrix, SRV, Dwayne, dude fr Lynyrd Skynyrd. Another small tidbit that Clapton played the lead on while My guitar gently weeps but if you really want to watch a great rendition watch prince playing while My guitar gently weeps unfreaking believable
The votes are according to Rolling Stone number 1 Jimi Hendrix number 2 guitarist in the world none other than Duane Allman. For these sessions Eric Clapton approached Duane to play some guitar. One of the most popular songs in Rock and Roll. Duane comes into this song about midway thru but if you listen carefully you can say to yourself. yes that is Duane on the slide. Only lived to age 24 but what a magnificent talent. Greg Allman his brother took over the band after Duane passed and they are one of my favorite bands. Give the album Eat A Peach a spin you will know what I mean. Melissa, Blue Sky, and of course the epic monster Mountain Jam. No other band in the 70s sounded like them, they were just too damn good.
U need to buy "Duane Allman the Anthology". A double LP with ALL the different artists that Duane played on with! U will be very surprised!!! One of my most favorites is "Loan Me a Dime" with Boz Scaggs!
Anyone ever tried to do a 7 minute slide solo? I don't think so! To call Duane the greatest slide guitarist is a sin. He was flat out the greatest ever. Lucky for me, I saw all of the top ten live and none of them could hold Duane's pick.
two guitar legends. i don't think duane allman gets the recognition he deserves from the general masses. he certainly has the notoriety from within though.
Well he was listed as the 2nd greatest guitarist behind Hendrix in Rolling Stones famous top 100 guitar players issued way back when, which would have him ahead of all his contemporaries (including Clapton, Beck, Santana, etc) except Jimmy.
I know very little about music. I heard Layla with Duane and was utterly amazed. Like many people I stupidly thought it was mostly Clapton. Then I heard Layla without Duane. I realized there was another guitar genius on the original track. I looked it up and there was Duane Allman, the tragic creator of Southern Rock whose brief life inspired Freebird. Duane soared in life and now in death. Death, be not proud. Peace to Duane and family.
Clapton became a guitar diva who had to be the centerpiece. Duane Allman was never that way. Cigarette in mouth, dressed like a flower child, he simply occupied his guitar’s soul and played.
The history of this song is quite simple. The original version of the song is what you hear on Clapton Unplugged acoustic. The famous version of this song is right here. It's when Duane said, hey lets' add this riff, hey lets speed this up - and he frankly went on to dominate much of the Derek & Dominoes album. And I say this with the utmost respect to Eric. Bell Bottom Blues is amazing Clapton. But Little Wing is all Duane and Why Does Love Have to Be So Sad Again Is Duane Scorching His Way Thru. Everyone knows the deal. Skydog and Hendrix would have been a treat. Skydog was one of the few in Jimmy's stratosphere.
I believe at times they were doing the same lead. But also Duane played the slide part which of course is amazing. Don't forget that the piano "break" was written by Jim Gordon, the drummer, I think, and it is fantastic as well. Great album "Derek and the Dominos." We played that thing, when it first came out, over and over, until we wore grooves in the record.
Wrong on Jim Gordon. The piano riff was written by Rita Coolidge, who was cheated out of her share of the royalties. www.billboard.com/articles/columns/rock/7318951/rita-coolidge-layla-memoir-delta-lady-eric-clapton-derek-dominos
@@yogibear6363 nope. That was debunked. A witness heard the break before Gordon even knew Rita. She has a history of trying to take credit for shit that wasn't hers
too bad there are no footages from the studio during the making of this album... too bad they didn't play a concert together... and that moment to be preserved on video for the future generations...
@@johnjudd3120 Eric May have only asked Dwayne to play on Layla. When Eric heard Dwayne Allman play slide guitar he said “I need to meet this guy”. Both greats!

Yes Layla while written by Eric was totally recreated and changed with the up-tempo riff by Duane as well as the long slide at the end - but if that wasn't commanding enough - Why Does Love have To Be So Sad to me is the song on the album where Duane goes into beast attack mode and really dominates the whole song and burns Eric a new a-hole. And I know its not a competition and they are just musicians digging each other - - that is simply for the Eric is God crowd.
Jarrod Cook duane allman fell off a horse; while nursing his arm on his 22nd b-day, greg brought over a bottle of coricedin and a taj mahal record. duane used that bottle as a slide after hearing taj mahal's cover of statesboro blues, which was covered by the ABB.
Unique. OK, there are nice new versions of Layla, but there is simply nothing equal to this original, with credit due to Duane's slide and Rita Coolidge's outro.
Young Allman challenged champion Clapton And Clapton took it seriously that's this super play I think Clapton is a person of character. That's why he's so trusted by Lennon and others.

You had him Eric. A musical brother is not necessarily a blood brother. You had him.
I learned something from this post. I did not know that Duane Allman played on this song. Thanks for posting and for the comments. RIP Duane.
Duane Allman is The Best guitarist ever‼️♥️🎸🎶♾
There will NEVER be another Duane Allman!!!
Derek Trucks is a close 2nd... fact.
That would be true even without all caps and a bunch of exclamation points.
Duane’s sound lives long after him. GOAT
Duane Allman is a 5 star legend
Duane Allman is god!!!
7 stars
One of the very best of all time. Duane, Eric, SRV. There are only a few that can stand in that circle.

People on ludes shouldn't ride motorcycles
Sad but true.
If he had only lived a few more years .

Duane allman signature slide is all over this masterpiece… died at a young 24, yet how many get to accomplish what he did in such a short time….
It is the counter melody of Duane's slide guitar that stands out vs the melody of the piano that make this recording so great.
This was a time when we had so many great artists and such great music and there hasn’t been anything like it since! Amazing

I agree 100%!!
Derek trucks is the reincarnation of Duane Allman.
Happy b-day duane! He would have been 71 today. What a loss but his music will live on forever😊
awesome
Also Dickey Betts was damn good when he played with the Allman Brothers when Duane
was still alive
Young Allman challenged champion Clapton
And Clapton took it seriously
that's this super play
I think Clapton is a person of character.
That's why he's so trusted by Lennon and others.
