My understanding after reading Skydog is that he was in the band but only really recorded with them. It really wasn't even a band per se, but just Clapton wanting to put together a badass lineup to cut an album. Remember that Duane was also a highly sought after session player and played on many records for others. The book mentioned that Clapton and the others just got together and all equally contributed to create the album. I always thought Clapton's best work was when he collaborated with others. (Cream, D&D, etc.)

I recall seeing a documentary about the album and a guy who worked the mixing console was asked about the "live jam" vibe that Clapton wanted for the entire album. This guy had worked with the ABB, so he said something to the effect of: "What I was hearing was fantastic and yet strange. Having worked with the ABB, I was unaccustomed to hearing Duane play even a single note wrong - but this is what Eric wanted it to be - to sound like they just picked up their instruments and jammed. And basically, Eric would play the melody and describe what he wanted to do, and then that's what they did, just jam."

Read that ABB biography: According to that Clapton was a big ABB and Duane fan. He was recording the D&D albumn in Miami and caught an ABB show and got the idea to get Duane to record with him and approached him then.
That Dominoes Live at Fillmore East is incredible. Used to be out of print for a long time and wore out that LP.
