Also I think the Cream 335 was one of the guitars he put up for auction.... he doesn't have it any more so he couldn't have played it at the reunion. I think the Gibson custom shop got hold of it and built a replica.
Nice version with a funky riff. Listen out for the original Layla riff in the background played brilliantly over and over again as a solo using a wah wah peddle-great sound.
it was still the same guitear called cherry red, after its colour, clapton kept it all his musical life and said it broke his heart when he has to sell it in 2002, or 2004 cant remember. he actually went as far as to say that nothing he ever buys lasts as long as a guitar a car,....... which is quite true, and he also said it plays as well today as it did all those years ago.
Pretty good . . . but, who was playing lead? And why wasn't it Clapton himself? Furthermore, I wish Dr. John had sung at least one of the verses-- I'd love to hear how his voice would sound on this particular song.
he's admitted it's too complicated to play the lead part and sing it live, so he plays the opening riff and rhythm + solo. the second guitarist (or however many he's got) does the lead stuff. A good example of this is the Live Aid version.
This may be , for EC, what "All Or Nothing At All" was for Sinatra: Sinatra did it, and then reinvented it 3 times, over four decades; with this tune, Clapton has done it once, and reinvented it twice.

Wow, I just saw this as a related video, and thought, I have to click this. And man was I pleasantly surprised, I thought they'd do something different with it, but it's a completely different song when you add that new funky groove to it. Amazing performance of this amazing song.
Lay off of Clapton. There are some other good guitarists out there: Jimi Hendrix, Jerry Garcia, Trey Anastasio, Jimmy Paige, Jeff Beck, Tim Reynolds. NONE of them top Clapton. Clapton is hands down best guitarist of the rock n' roll generation. Dr. John is good but will never be as much of a rocknrolla as Clapton.

Original) D&D with Duane Allman, 1) Unplugged 2) This 3) wiith Winton Marsalis (Jazz) 4) On his own, no backing (also unplugged but still.) And that's not including the 1970's 14 minute long booze fuelled versions. I'd say at least 4 times he's re-jigged it. Mind you most people never play the same way twice.
I'm addicted to this version! Thanks for uploading this!
Clapton seems to fit in any kind of style of music. I always loved that version! Its really sweet! Peace to Clapton :-)
Eric's feelin this too. the Good doc is lovin it! what a fantastic set!
Never thought that the last voice gonna be so lit! What a killer voice
This is a great version. A funky electric upgrade to the unplugged version. 👍👍
I do love this version... Slower..more mellow than the original. But.. On some steroids..big thick electric grove .. Its great

What a dirty tone.... love it :D (also glad to see this version back on You Tube)
this must be one of the best versions ever!! anyone know where i can buy the dvd or download the song??
changwute Clapton does not use his pinky for playing lead.
that is exactly the word to describe it man! dirty, badass sound out of them fingers
this is fucking awesome, almost as good as the original
Nice version with a funky riff. Listen out for the original Layla riff in the background played brilliantly over and over again as a solo using a wah wah peddle-great sound.
Rap?! It's not rap! It's Funk!
This is an awesome version!
I'd would have let Dr John play one of his amazing solos.
very nice version!! lov the change to the 335 from the strat..... EC!!
it was still the same guitear called cherry red, after its colour, clapton kept it all his musical life and said it broke his heart when he has

whaat a great treasure you got
i love this version
of the song
Layla ! !
its a great duet
the guitar is quite good. but i think the song layla needs strong vocals. its more like the unplugged version with a little more funky backíng.
Thanks =)
Dr John is amazing, first saw him live at the Band's farewell concert, The Last Waltz.
Chill out kid; I didn't write it's rap. I wrote "with a touch of rap". OK, it's funk with a touch of rap. Satisfied?

How do you mean that?
Literally?
Allegorically?
Metaphorically?
Commercially?
Aesthetically?
Musically?
Philosophically?
Politically?
i never saw clapton smiling during this song before..
3:55 It's heartening to see that even Clapton's fingers are exhausted after playing that crazy arrangement for Layla. Adorable EC!
strange, cause the song was made after Cream and Blind Faith..

Malcolm John "Mac" Rebennack, Jr and Eric with behind the scenes at the begining...regaeish version...nice...

just lol
You want to see Dr. John jam search "Dr. John Such a Night". The version at Abbey Road is my favorite.
I like this version better - real funky. Guitar intro reminded me of Ohio Players' "Love Rollercoaster"
Whoah! Never seen this before. What a find. I'm thinking it's from 1993? Where is it from?
Damn I'd play something else with Doctor John .. showbiz
this is sweeeet
love this combo
another great one is when Dr. john plays with Joe Walsh of the Eagles
wow this is awesome two of my fave ppl together- the legendary Dr.john and Eric clapton... awesome!!
Yet another interpretation of the great song; this time with a touch of rap.
so sick...unreal..dr. john and clapon fuckin take it down baby!
okay. Eric got the 335 when he was in Yardbirds, in 1964
No, unfortunately.
Cadê o Áudio
It is from the Roseland ballroom in NYC.
It was on VH1 Duets. I was in the second row for the show, I won tickets to see it.
Best
@kahtia3
I would say Rock&Roll with a funky touch ;)
@kahtia3 its still not funk it's frikkin awesome
Well... Not really... but you're closer than he is.
