The Yardbirds. Cream. Blind Faith. Delaney and Bonnie and Friends. Eric Clapton has had historic turns with each of those bands, not to mention an astounding solo career. Yet, no moment in that legacy can top his brief time fronting Derek and the Dominos in 1970. Sure, the band had only 1 album, but it just happened to be one of the finest in rock and roll history. Slowhand, fueled by his unrequited love for Patti Harrison, and driven to play at his best by the presence of Duane Allman, produced his masterpiece, the 2 record set known as Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs. After completing the album, the band toured the US from October to December, 1970, then Clapton went into a drug induced exile for almost 3 years. For those of us too young to see the Dominos live, we fortunately have soundboard recordings of both of their October shows at the legendary Fillmore East. Today, I've posted the complete October 23 concert while tomorrow, I'll post October 24. Get them both as it's not often you get to own a piece of history.
