Oct 5, 2011 - ...that would've been Jim Gordon on drums and Carl Radle on bass. They were a band and toured the U.S. and U.K. in 1970 as I saw them in the old Jacksonville Coloseum. Rumor had it they were gonna do another tour in 71' but I can't remember why they didn't.....the great Duane Allman died later that year.

Nov 7, 2011 - They actually had recorded a few tracks for a second album. In fact, a lot of them were on the Crossroads box set. Unfortunately, that was when Clapton's heroin addiction was at its worst and he rarely, if ever left his house because he was so addicted. Clapton's only major appearance in '71 was at the Concert for Bangladesh and even then everyone was shocked by how bad he looked.

Jan 7, 2012 - You're the most overrated guy I've never heard of ever.

Jan 25, 2012 - The most amazing thing was watching Dickie Betts, arguably among the top ten guitarists of all time, playing rhythm to Derek Trucks and Eric Clapton. Showing deferrence to two greats but listen to teh little melodic figerpick at about 4:20 (appropox) that resally sets off the next movement. Glorious.

gr8fuljon Says:

Jan 25, 2012 - hey man, fyi... dickie hasn't been in the band since 2000. That's Warren Haynes backing up Mr Trucks and GOD. And yes, he is... GLORIOUS.

MrBrainart Says:

Jan 26, 2012 - This is the best live version I have heard. It is so beautful.So tastefully played.

phused Says:

Feb 9, 2012 - What a treat, thank you. The blues have produced so many fine guitarists that it's hard to pick a top ten with so many distinguished players out there. It's not worth pondering who might be the best, just enjoy all the fabulous music they make.

Feb 15, 2012 - Duane Allman was in Derek and the Dominoes and played the beautiful slide guitar solo in the orginal Layla. I love Derek Trucks and have seen him with the ABB several times but I dont think he is in the class with Duane on slide guitar because nobody was or has been. At least that I have heard. Love Dereks band with Susan Tedeschi too, I am not being critical or at least dont mean to be. He might be the best we have in that style of play.

Mar 25, 2012 - Is the guy playing the slide Dickey Betts?

Mar 27, 2012 - About time, so wish I was there !

Mar 30, 2012 - These 3 men are amazing in their own right..there is no doubt about that...but what could have been had Duane not passed...

notfragile33 Says:

Apr 4, 2012 - They should have just made Eric an Allman Brother..He's more Southern Rocker at heart than most English guys I've heard!

musicinmysoul91 Says:

Apr 6, 2012 - The ending solo was improvised, not written. I'd be pissed if he DID play it note for note, that'd be fucking dumb. Jam bands use music like jazz does, as a venue to improvise.
