Looking for a Clapton song

[abomb]

I have no idea how to describe it, but I am guessing it's one of the top two or three top Clapton guitar rifts.

It is very rockish.

It is electric guitar.

It might be Cream.

It isnt Layla.

 

[abomb]

Damn. It is Layla. The non-acoustic version.

What a song.

Go buy the Cream of Clapton and enjoy.

 

[Linderbee]

Layla rules.

 

[coyoteshockeyfan]

Both versions of Layla are amazing.

Was the song Layla?

 

[Pariah]

I'll bet it's Layla. That song is so amazing it rules. What a song. You should go buy the Cream of Clapton and enjoy.

Abomb did mention that it was the original version of "Layla".....

Also, Duane Allman played lead-guitar along-side Clapton.... The only element that somewhat ruined the song was Derek & the Dominos drummer's, Jim Gordons, piano solo that got tacked on at the end....

Legend has it.... Layla was George Harrison's first wife, Pattie,
and Derek was a pseudonym for Clapton himself.... At that time, he was having an affair w/Pattie Harrison..... Harrison was EC's best friend at the time... Clapton wanted to write a song conveying his love towards Pattie, and figured that it would work by concealing their true identities.....

Another awesome song from their album is "Bell Bottom Blues", which I even consider better than "Layla"....
