I'll have to agree with your sister on that one--I never liked the unplugged Layla

The intro to Layla is one of the finest things Duane Allman came up with...  :o

I was at the Lyceum in June 1970 when what had been billed as Eric Clapton and Friends was introduced as Derek & the Dominos. We thought it was just a joke.

Apart from the unplugged Layla, there's all the reinventions of Crossroads, none of which come close to the Wheels of Fire version. I suppose that's the point.

Phil... the CD reissue of D&TD Filmore concert makes quite enjoyable listening - shame Duane wasn't on hand (extremely biased Duane Allman fan  ;))

But Jim Gordon was there, right? One of the worlds greatest rock drummers, ever. Pity he lost his mind... Whenever I listen to the Layla double, it's the drums, and Carl Radles nice and cool bass playing, that hits me. What a pair!

The only thing I really remember from that concert, apart from being 20 feet from Clapton himself, was they played Let It Rain, just 3 acoustic guitars - Clapton, Dave Mason and I can't even remember who the 3rd acoustic was.

Apart from Dave Mason, who left soon after, it was the core Dominos, so yes, Gordon, Radle, Whitlock. 

That year I also saw Ginger Baker's Airforce, with Graham Bond and Phil Seaman. And they were 2 hours late.
