I love it when musicians actually love and are feeling a song. Eric Clapton does this IN SPADES. He's truly a musical genius and masterpiece. A TOTAL LEGEND IN HISTORY!
Indeed
I love how Mark Knopfler is just jammin' in the background... can you imagine having one of the best guitar players ever just playing back-up for your songs?
i love how clapton played this shit while smoking a ciggerette
trouble with mark is he takes over and manages to make the worlds best somehow take a back seat mark is my all time number 1 guitarist closely followed by prince
@@Drift-fpv whoa!! Prince WAS the best....
He is not jamming he is playing what the Clapton's side guitarist at the time played.
@@fatherted2260 he was very good underrated in my opinion
No one can make a guitar sing and give so much passion as you Eric ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Eric and Mark my favourite guitar players, two legends Love them both 🎸🎸💖💖💖
My sister just passed away in her sleep this morning at 66yo. This was her favorite song of all time & everyone who knew her automatically thought of her when they heard it. It’s being played all around world today by all who knew & loved her. ❤
So sorry for your loss. So young.
Sorry for your loss🙏
So sorry
RIP to your sister. Sorry for your loss.🌹
It's hard losing a sister my heart goes out to y'all! I share her passion with this song! God bless you & Eric Clapton
I love how during this concert, both Clapton and Knopfler are happy to allow each other to take turns playing lead, when both are outstanding lead guitar players :)
Just GOOD. Two of the greatest, no Ego's. Gifted by God....
YES, YES..best performance for sure with Eric. But I do love how Knofler was truly jamming in the background. Terrific.
OMFG: Clapton AND Knopfler. No ever way to top that !!!
1988 Princes Trust version has Knophler and Elton John
@@lesblakeman Duane Allman
This has got to be the BEST version of Layla i have ever heard!!! Its absolute amazing!!! The jam is incredible with Clapton on his guitar!!! I have always said that he's the GREATEST guitar player in the history of rock n roll!!!
Oh je, das kann heute jeder 15 jährige spielen,. Steve Lukather, Eddy van Halen usw. das sind gute Gitaristen.
Concordo plenamente, em técnica é melhor!
Wow his guitar is actually smoking!! ❤
Played the entire solo only by feel. That is truly musical mastership. Eric is without peer.
Eric, Mark, Nathan and a cig burning on the Strat! Enough said.
MK modesty and respect for EC is amazing...
I am a total 60s and 70s hippie chick grew up on my derek and the dominoes thank you for giving me so much joy😂
No one can make love to a guitar like Eric ❤❤❤❤❤
And my other favourite guitarist of all time - Mark K!! Two gifted musicians.
There is no comparison
@@mssamhierlmeier5073 Bruh comparing MK to EC is like a sword and a whip.
Ninguém comparou, os dois são muito bons ..,discutir besteiras ; curta a música !
@@kiwitihi4606
MK is the one whip that can cut a sword.
I love EC too so I don't see that there should be an apples and oranges comparison.
@@theopendoor3716 facts
Everyone in this band on this night were on top of there game
Eric and Mark doing this song- heaven on earth then!!!
Thank you Slow hand for decades of your amazing songs and talent!❤
The Sixties and Seventies were my years for great rock music.Full of great songs.
Forever honored to be named after this masterpiece
Same!
Regards, yougotmeonmyknees
so, you're OLD ...LOL
LoL you probably aren't even named "Layla."
@@ninjascott7976 My sister's second husband, John Tagg, was a guitarist. He named his daughter from his first marriage Layla.
We all love Layla !
What’s so amazing is Clapton plays so well with little or no knowledge of music theory. His music is so heart felt. After seeing a documentary about his childhood, it makes so much sense where all his pain comes from.
I heard this song first as it was played over the speakers in the dining hall at Northern Arizona University in the fall of 1972. This was in the second semester of my sophomore year as I transferred in for one semester to finish the required electives for entering the forestry school program the next fall. At the time I didn't fully appreciate the brilliance of Eric Clapton like I do now. Also playing at the time was the Eagles "Take It Easy," with the line "standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona."
At that time most music stations were on AM. FM was really special, with a very different sound. AM would play the top 40 version of songs, no more than 3-4 minutes and FM stations would play the full length album versions of the song. This was so ingrained in the culture of the time that if a person was asked a question where the answer could be quite involved or complex, the person would reply, "would you like the AM version or the FM?" Now FM is nothing special, it sounds just as hyped with terrible car commercials and the like. There are some good "all news, all the time" AM stations, but music is essentially absent from AM. Most of it consists of politically conservative talk shows. This version of "Layla" is definitely the FM version.
Fast forward 20 years, I now have 18 years of experience in the U.S. Forest Service in recreation management. Among my duties was supervising a shuttle bus system and an entrance station. We employed seasonals and sometimes they could be quite young. I was doing some maintenance on the entrance station on one occasion and there was an FM radio on low volume so as not to disturb the visitors. This slow version of Layla came on and I recognized the lyrics, but not the melody. I thought it was Clapton singing, but wasn't quite sure. I asked one of the employees whose song this was and the reply: "yah, it's that NEW guy, Eric Clapton." The other employee nodded her head enthusiastically in agreement. Eric Clapton, that NEW Guy!!!!!!" I suddenly realized that I was in my middle 40's and being a young person had passed me by while I had my head down in huge workloads at all the ranger stations I had worked from in 4 states. You start work not knowing much, you have to ask a lot of questions. Then you realize you aren't asking very many questions, but this for only a year or two. What quickly follows is you become a "go to person" and you are answering far more questions than you ask. The gap between rookie and being a "go to guy" is so short and you don't even realize the shift for quite a while.
Other memorable songs with very long "FM versions," "Hey Jude," which I think is about 14+ minutes long and "Inna Gotta Devita" at 17+ with a version floating around at 22 or 23 minutes. I wish that FM radio never changed. There were some incredible stations. On the AM side when you were driving at night you could hear "KFI" Los Angeles, "KOB" Albuquerque, "KOA" Denver and "KBOI" Boise." These all came in pretty clear, depending on the atmosphere and the amount of sun spotting in its 11 year cycle. There was also "KNX 1070, All News, All the Time" that seemed to boom in no matter what. At maximum sun spotting WLS Chicago could be heard, with some interference. It was the only way to get some music on long night drives. Now, there is Sirius radio, with crisp reception almost no matter where you are. This with a hundred or two channels.
Eric Clapton makes playing the guitar look so effortless he is amazing
Indeed.
That's why he is called 'Slow Hand'
I think his guitar also plays him. Pure emotion and genius.
It’s called “economy of motion” and it’s what all musicians strive for, regardless of the instrument.
My wife and I just adopted a dog named Layla. We decided not to change her name. We now listen to this version nearly every day. Glad to hear it again. Best version ever!
That bass intro by Nathan East!! Exquisite.
67 here...I use to get lost in that song dancing to it in college. Never tire of it.
Eric and Mark .. can't get any better.. such a beautiful song and the guitar playing is above everyone else ❤️
Amazing performance...GREAT artist no question
Genios y amigos de música, Eric Clapton, Mark knopler , Sting, Phil collin ,el bajista , pianista,voces , tooodos hermoso!! etc.❤🎉❤
There has always been so much talk about what a phenomenal guitarist Clapton is (and it's certainly justified). But I think he is underrated as a vocalist. The vocals here are so fantastic and passionate. Overall an epic performance by him and all the musicians playing with him!
His vocals are what make him a great guitar player. He raises the the music/song to a place where the guitar means the most. All the great ones, especially in the blues idiom, have to be great vocalists too.
LOL. He's the most overrated guitarist on planet EARTH.
@@jwc1977 i would actually agree with that. But in the context of that era he was an important guitar player. But yeah his skill set is not that impressive for sure. But think of all the great players that cant even carry a tune. I mean honestly, would u rather here a concert of Steve Vai or Clapton?
I would take EC all day.
@@jwc1977 And even if that's true, he is certainly incredibly popular with people and he is laughing about it from his mansion(s).
@@jwc1977 the day you can master Robert Johnson delta blues techniques... Write again. Ten times more difficult than playing the most flashy solo
Just AWESOME! Does classic rock playing EVER get better than this? Think NOT!! Eric on lead, GREAT vocals, not to mention lead guitar AND you have Knopfler BACKING you, utterly sublimely!!! TWO legends just getting into the music... it just melts you!!!! All of the musicians on this rendition are just superb!!!!!
I doubt Clapton would show his face after Princes solo on While my guitar gently weeps.
2:47
What are you still BATCHING (I) ABOUT? YOU ARE JUST A WANNA BE, LITTLE MAN MAN MAN
Music will never be this good again!
Clapton best solo ,holy mother 😮
No one else has that lyrical vibrato that he has. And he can hit it with any one of his fingers, anytime he wants to.
Clapton once said in an interview that he CAN play well - WHEN he WANTS to. This is one of those times imo! 👍
Clapton is at the top of his game here. Strong vocal, confident, risk taking solos. I’d guess this was uploaded in 2007 but recorded years before that. Clapton has had one of the longest, most productive careers of anyone I can name. He’s been an nearly inspiration and has never let me down.
I would date this late 80s by the guitar tone. Lots of chorus. Just before he went acoustic
@@fredjones554 I saw him on this tour with Mark Knopfler. It was either 1988 or 1989. Saw him in Washington, DC, well, the Maryland suburbs.
No Good without someone playing the Slide wrk that DUAYNE ALLMAN made Famous in this song without the Slide Wrk just another Song Where is the SLIDE ????? Just terrible !!!!!
top of his game, bottom of the bottle/snowpile
It's 1988.
Mark playng solo....better than ever!
I was lucky enough to see Eric, Marc, Nathan and Ray Cooper live at the Albert Hall - what a privilege - one of the highlights of my life…
Eric is inspirational.....Nathan on bass is a masterchef.
You know it's going to be a great show when you've got two of the greatest guitarist in history backing each other up playing one of the best guitar songs ever.
Mark knopfler and Eric Clapton are total legends. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👌🤘
Dont forget Nathan East on bass the man is a legend !
@@srv3355 is an non upspeeded bass player with frets and metronome ever greatly expressible movable?! sorry, like a rsstricted ball player in a wheelchair even more?!? "sorry" what did i upvote?! he had his young niche Leila Slimani wrapped him around his knees... fuck her just like me rather?! maybe she was already old enough, like over 40, then ok :-= x xx xy xy xyy xx x ?! lol *x%115= max m?!
the lack of fretboard knowledge is the same for at leastest me on guitar, c major, e minor, a bit f major, shift fretwise to transpose, always the same, You can still study that for some years, still no full system here, mostly restricted You like, You are even more restricted on standard rock Bass?!
look up clapton and beck performing moon river. 2 great guitarists performing a great songwriter. i think from your comment you will appreciate this one too.
Could not have expressed it better.
@@srv3355 excellent observation,if I do say so yup.
That piano guy doesn't miss a beat so clean.nice job
Absolutely the Best 💗🎶
Magic
True passion and soul. Something that is long gone from music now.
Pure emotion and he never compromised his music or performances. A genius.
but imagine: writing a love song for someone else's wife, you make her your wife, then she dumps you... but you have to keep singing that song the rest of your life...
(I suppose you get over it)
Clapton at his peak! He’s so focused and “feeling “ his music. I’m sure he is not feeling anything else. I love love Clapton ! His story is amazing . He’s still playing in 2022
The tension between skydog and well let us say God of rock. it was a magic time indeed. to even try to re in act is holy as far as rock goes.
Eric is a great talented man love his music
Its called CLASSIC ROCK for a reason ! simply awesome.
Mark Knofler played with him, makes it Clapton's 25th Anniversary Tour. I was there. One of the best nights of my life.
Half your luck!
I love this song so much teen in laguna Beach made me feel so inspired❤ thank you Eric
Mark Knopler with the Sultans of Swing Alchemy Live wrap up at the end. Love it!
I love you Eric Clapton, you’re one of the best blues guitar players/singers in the world!❤
This performance was from 1988 during the 25th anniversary tour with a wonderful band of musicians including Mark Knopfler and Alan Clark of Dire Straits (one of my top 3 bands of all time) and Eric returned the favour at the Nelson Mandela 70th birthday concert for Mark when he played "tricky little inside left" at Wembley 🎉😂.
Got to invite the best to be the best and Slowhand and MK are top 5 of all time of guitarists born in Great Britain and Ireland. 🇬🇧🇮🇪
EC rules 🎸🎸 and this song is a masterpiece 👍 rock on!
Man, you're my hero, thank you, now searching for CD from that exact performance. If you could help I would be gratefull
@@kratus1370 Thanks much appreciated 😊. I'm going to go out on a limb and say 21st September 1988 and if memory serves this performance (and concert) was released officially and can be found on Amazon under the title After Midnight Live but please do listen to the track first before purchase but I am sure it is one and the same performance but I could be wrong Cheers 👍😁
One of the greatest songs. The whole album is amazing.
Excellent!!
I'm 67. Heard so many songs so many times. Just a few still catch my ear when they come along. This is one of those. Symphonic. Soaring. Melodic.
Slightly Bitter/Sweet. Bravo.
I'm 67 as well and this song still makes me feel young again!
They called him Eric " slow hand " Clapton.
Not going to lie its amazing to see how many people underrate Mark Knopfler. Dude pretty much hit the peak of guitar playing by the mid- 80's, with incredibly loose, soulful, fluid and flowing arpeggios all while controlling the tempo in such a smooth way. His timing and use of it are pretty incredible, even looking at their early self titled. not many people can move their fingers like that, much less while fingerpicking.
He has never gotten the credit he deserves. The man is amazing!!!!
The people who underrate Knopfler, don't know wtf their talking about, so after that , there's not much else I care to hear about what other opinions they have. LoL
250 millions view on one video, and many with hundreds of millions, I wouldn't say he's underrated...
real
Well there is always Lindsey Buckingham . . .
Psst..maestro play ❤
I like as he puts the cigarettes between the strings, as we did when we where kids. I am not a smoker anymore, but this gives sort of nostalgic feeling🤓😋
These two guys are my absolute fave musicians in the world … Bar none!
This is my all time favorite song. I remember the first time I heard it, 13yrs old, on vacation in Victoria, BC. Blew my mind, the intro alone had me agog. That was 50 years ago, it still blows me away. Having Mark Knopfler just adds to the magic. Brilliant performance.
Knopfler
@@thomask9398 thanks
Sounds to me like kaufner is playing all the Le ad ECT to it now I guess my hero is getting old LOL
Me too. Thanks for the input.
STEVIE - DID U LIKE STUCK UP B C? OH WE GOT MOUNTAINS ! YA AND MY MADAME X BETTYANN GARDNER AND HER NEW DIDDLER GOOMBA HUBBY FUCKHEAD PUKEY FUCK. HOPE U WRECT YER DATSUN @!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WILL GET U U FUCK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the last two minutes are so good
From seeing Eric a shy young man playing along side two legends Johnny Cash and Carl Perkins
To his love and friendship with JJ Cale
To the many superb songs he created
Eric is at the top of music performers
He deserves a knighthood from King Charles.
This song draws me back to summer of 71. Because it was on the radio all the time that year.
Did the radio back then allow playback of the whole song? Or did they cut it down to 3-4 mins
@@bukx21 am stations played short version and fm played the whole song, at least here in Detroit.
Of course Eric and Mark are amazing, but let's not overlook the GENIUS that is Nathan East on bass!!
Nathan East, the “Bass Beast”!
Redefines the definition of cool!
What an intro! It's hard to add to such a classic song - & easy to make it worse. Nathan manages to do the former and for me Layla live isn't complete without Nathan's melodic set up before EC launches in with THAT riff.
Couldn't agree more.
@@Steve-ih7dg Nathan East is playing the opening theme to "A Remark You Made" by Weather Report. On the original, the theme is also played on bass guitar by Jaco Pastorius. He's not "ripping it off". It's an off-hand tribute to another very popular band. Weather Report's keyboard player Joe Zawinul wrote the tune.
@@FredPinkertonIII Cheers for that info, Fred. So interesting to get these insights.
AND again I say the reprise is quite possibly the most beautiful piece of music of the ROCK era!! CLAPTON IS!!1
Indeed❤
It's the Best nummer from MR. Clapton
What's great about a lot of Clapton live performances is that he invites a bunch of his "friends" who just happen to be mostly all big name professionals, to play along, it's like they all get together and jam just for the hell of it and it turns out to be a masterpiece. I've seen him several times with Billy Preston (RIP) on keyboards, Phil Collins on drums , John Mayer, and several others. They all have a great camaraderie and no one is going to turn down CLAPTON when he invites them, and he rarely turns down anyone either if they all have common dates open. He's a great guy and was great friends with George Harrison despite the wife swap, and that says something about their friendship.
And the sixties lol
Fuck it man; with women it's survival of the fittest. There's no such thing as, "you can't steal my ex-wife." As long as *cheating* isn't involved, if your wife or ex-wife gets swooped up by another man, that means YOU did something wrong, not her or the other man. Resentment against either party is only going to hurt oneself, not them. Women make their own decisions. I've lost women to other men, shit; I've also have lost them to other women. Guess what though; after deep soul searching, it was *always* I who was the one to drive them away.
But, I bet Clapton looks at "Layla" now and is like, "ugh, thank God. And also, "why was I so stupid?" And probably thinks, well I was young and stupid... Just like everyone else.
The only time I saw Eric Clapton live was in Boston (circa 1978-80). Pete Townsend and Keith Moon played about half the show with him.
All true, don't forget Clapton inviting Derek Trucks, Vince Gill, JJ Cale and Sheryl Crowe to jam.
@@marycooper6188 Sheryl Crowe only got there because he married her for a while.
There is no guitarist that has the great body of work as Clapton he’s done it all
Fans always talk about Clapton‘s guitar playing. No argument there but where he really exceeds is his vocals. The guy has a great voice.
I agree
Yes, I agree, exactly the point I was trying to make.
Iconic Eric
YouRe themost passionate person I have ever listened to you helped me through terrible times in my life thank you eric for giving me so much hope❤
Best song ever written and played by a true legend ❤
You know you’re great when Mark Knopfler plays rhythm for you
Wow....................
💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
This is just as good as an instrumental as it is a song. Often overlooked,
the Piano arrangement is fantastic.
Rita Coolidge’s piano composition, uncredited.
@@virginiatate5955 Did Bobby Hammond just play her music on the album?
@@virginiatate5955 It was said to have come from Jim Gordon, but he pinched it from Rita.
thinking the song would be lost without the piano...
THIS NUMBER THE BEST OF ERIC CLAPTON ❤
One of my all time favorite Clampton guitar riffs❤🌟🙏
That riff never gets old
Looking how Eric showing everybody "f*ck" is awesome.
Always amazing to me that professions play often,without even,a,quick look at the fret board . Eric gets "in the zone" and it's like the magic takes over. The other thing is,Eric can,step back and let the others shine when,it's their time. He has never been a glory hog and lets them,all have their own time to,shine. A true professional. God Bless Eric, a true musician. Slow Hand is a joy to watch and hear.
Dont think he has much to prove anymore. The end of this song drags ass
no illusions, maybe better figure out how they thought, understand their tricks and approaches maybe, magic before being hindered more better?! this quite easy to play, except great tricky sound?!Like mostly always Mark Knopfler?! Others are impossible already?! You could have even this for low, check out IZZ, Karate (Geoff Farina playisde maybe much better solos without relevant fraud, and he is now almost hearing disabled, simple jobs?! what me?!), Blonde Redhead for the sound layering, Flying Lotus for (whomever full?) visionary, Porcupine Tree, started as an INdiEe? joke, Sophie Hunger, newer Marilyn Manson and also Slipknot, Sunny Side Up, Wonderlustre from Skunk Anansie, mMotown reattempt was only Amy Winehouse, Silkworm was earlier, combonatoric end, improve the old newly together, who dnot dunno?! we are the people that mess it all . . ..?!?! ii ts time? !
This is an Anthem. 🎸❤
wonderful, my Favoriten since i heard it in the 70 ‚s first time
Wow ❤️
Eric' s like an escapolgist,He gets out of those runs trills and phrasing in an almost supernatural way . No one could or can get near Eric . Nice one E .C .
IF he were to have looked at the fretboard it would have just confined his hands to earth! don’t look Eric, then we can glance at what you see with your eyes closed.
To know absolutely no one can play like you can ! Must be something that could give you an enormous ego ! Thank you, Eric !
Just simply one of live musician s to grace to grace the stage over the year's 💜💜💜💜. 💯💯💯💯💯. 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Eric Clapton and Mark Knopfler are great guitar legends
This is an amazing version. And the two greatest living guitarists, on the same stage. This is an iconic version. Amzing.
Two of the THREE: James Patrick PAGE= #1
Yes indeed 👍❤️🥰
The one with Steve Harvey playing bass is also Bad to the bone😆👈🏻
Mr. Clapton can act and sound like an idiot sometimes but he and Django are the best ever in non-classical music.
Mrs macca might I make that 2 of the 4, and add Carlos Santana
Deeeestroyyy❤❤
I always had wondered why Clapton could never get the intro riff down like on the original recording. Then years ago I found out the reason is, it was not him. It was Duane Allman of the Allman Brothers band that did it originally. Live and Learn.
*_Rest In Peace Duane Allman_*
*_Job Well Done, Sir_*
Awesome to the end, but lest we forget the great Dianne Allmans contribution to this classic song
1 of the best guitarists ever!!! And he has played with some of the other greats including BB King & SRV. And that guitarist Marc Knopfler isn't too bad either.
Eric and Mark are so in tune, but don't forget the fantastic keyboards, bass and drums, love the keyboard and bass intro, it really makes it special.
That’s the intro to Dire Straits “ ROMEO & JULIET”!!!!
@Fred Wills nathan east I’m pretty sure
@@mrsmacca126 not surprising seeing as its Alan Clarke from Dire Straits on the keys 👌
@@mrsmacca126 Same keyboardist - Mr Alan Clark.
@Fred Wills Nathan East is one of those session guys who you will have heard of on countless recordings - & never known who it was. Superb bassist and seems a genuinely nice guy. Also toured with Toto amongst others.
Only guitarist who plays the middle pup on a fender for most of his solos
Eric y Mark, el DUO DINAMICO. Fantasticos
Im in the winter of my life now but saw Clapton play many times. He has never disappointed. So glad he mended fences wirh Jack Bruce & Ginger Baker before both passed and once again became the greatest power rock trio ever...CREAM.
This is what makes Clapton, Clapton! when on stage with another guitarist of equal status he's able to raise his game to unlimited heights. As BB King one said there is no one able to beat him on those nights
TWO of the best best guitar players in the world on the stage! SMOKIN!
Lovely Patti Boyd !
thank you!!have you ever had an opportunity to attend any of my concerts so far? Thank you for your likes and comments as well and I really appreciate your love and support over me as well
