    In the company of the greatest guitar players of all time.... and such a nice guy. I have met him twice in the airport. The first time I had my daughter with me and he was so nice to her. She was 14 and a violinist. She had her instrument with her and when he saw the case he started to ask her thoughts on various music that she played. He was genuinely interested in her music. The second time I met him he was sitting across and one row up from me on a plane. I introduced myself and told him about how his meeting and talking to my daughter was so great for her. He remembered the occasion!!! God it is nice to see such a superstar behave like a gentleman and be so nice to a young fan. Thanks for so much great music....

      My experience with EC was similar. I met him in an elevator in our hotel and he stayed on the SAME FLOOR. Imagine my shocking reaction. He talked with me the whole time from the first floor to our floor about his concert that I'm going to see that night. We talked as we walked down the hall way until he had to turn right to his room and I turned left to my room at the other end of the wing. I guess we were at the CROSSROAD. :) I was walking on cloud that afternoon and evening as I saw him in concert.

    What will you do when you get lonely
    No one waiting by your side?
    You've been running, hiding much too long
    You know it's just your foolish pride
    Layla, got me on my knees
    Layla, begging, darling, please Layla
    Darling, won't you ease my worried mind?
    Tried to give you consolation
    Your old man had let you down
    Like a fool, I fell in love with you
    You turned my whole world upside down
    Layla, got me on my knees
    Layla, I'm begging, darling, please Layla
    Darling, won't you ease my worried mind?
    Make the best of the situation
    Before I finally go insane
    Please don't say we'll never find a way
    Tell me all my love's in vain
    Layla, got me on my knees
    Layla, I'm begging, darling, please Layla
    Darling, won't you ease my worried mind?
    (Yeah, yeah)
    Layla, got me on my knees
    Layla, begging, darling, please Layla
    Darling, won't you ease my worried mind?

    (Announcement)

    What’s almost poetic to me is that when we hear Layla first, it’s a chaotic confession of an unspoken love and lust of a young performer with the world at his feet, in many cases played extremely fast, filled with bending and pinch harmonics.
    As Clapton got older he is now sitting in his chair, and the guitar, even though still playing the same melody - it is now reminiscing the old times, calmly yet playfully, with a little more maturity.
    Such is the genius of Eric Clapton.

    It's so cool to hear this song in such a laid back groove. Add that to the fact it's a live performance and it makes it all the more impressive

    The song became age-appropriate. Undoubtedly one of the best guitarists in history. And this song was and remains legendary. It sounds great.
