Скачать или смотреть Jam2 - Layla Sessions

Layla "should have been" a GREAT GREAT GREAT album! Should have been!! There's a handful of songs that are great, the ones that were not "over-Duane'd", yes, over-Duane'd.

Duane Allman was not slated to be on the album; he and Eric just so happened to have met for the 1st time in the days just previous to the recording of Layla. In fact, it was their 1st face to face meeting, in the studio.

Eric was front at an Allman Brothers show at the Fillmore East and was way impressed with Duane and arranged for a msg to get to Duane that he'd love to meet him. Duane knowing EC was up-front for the show was like "holy shit, I need to play in front of Eric Clapton?", and after he was like "Really, EC, himself, the master, wants to meet me?".

So they met, in the studio when Derek and the Dominoes were recording Layla. EC said to Duane "pick up a guitar, join us", so he did. And the rest was the ruining of a great album - having a guest guitarist playing an over-jealous over-produced slide guitar on a 2 record set of songs he didn't know.

The 1st time I heard EC Unplugged, Layla on acoustic ... after seeing it in concert MANY times, I FINALLY liked the song, heard it the way I believe it was meant to be played, on acoustic without a wailing slide guitar.

Listen to these - from the Layla Sessions, The Jams - hear what Derek and The Dominoes "really" sounded like, and imagine Layla, And Other Assorted Love Songs recorded the way it was meant to be recorded ... would have probably been my favorite album of all time instead of a handful of songs on my "yeah, that's great" list.

Notice the pic - that is Derek and the Dominoes: Eric Clapton (guitars), Bobby Whitlock (keyboards), Carl Radle (bass), Jim Gordon (drums)
Enjoy JAM2 - IT IS INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!
