Do you like the Layla ending?

It is beautiful. Of course I can't listen to it without thinking of dead bodies thanks to Goodfellas.

Love it, one of my favorite instrumental parts. Can't hear it without thinking of Goodfellas either.

Absolutely. But was it Eric or Duane who shaped the feel of the guitar flow? Who influenced it more?

The recording of the first section consisted of sixteen tracks of which six were guitar tracks: a rhythm track by Clapton, three tracks of harmonies played by Clapton (the main power chord riff on both channels and two harmonies against that main riff, one on the left channel and one on the right channel), a track of solos by Allman (fretted solos with bent notes during the verses and a slide solo during the outro[19]), and one track with both Allman and Clapton playing duplicate solos (the 7-note "signature" riff doubled in two octaves and the 12-note "signature" riff doubled in unison).[16][20] According to Clapton, Allman played the first seven notes of the 12-note "signature" riff fretted and the last five notes on slide in standard tuning.[19] Each player used one input of the same two-input Fender Champ amplifier.

13-yr old Derek Trucks jamming on Layla.
Beautiful piece of music.

Certainly.

Me, either, and I was a fan of the song before I ever saw the film.
I can make it worse for you, if you like. That was drummer Jim Gordon on the piano. He actually composed the piece (although some claim he ripped off his then girlfriend, Rita Coolidge). He was screwing around with it on the piano when Clapton heard it - blown away, Clapton was insistent it be included on the album and found a place for it in Layla (the title track and reason God gave us Derek and the Dominos, along with an excuse to have Eric and Duane play together).
Anyway, Gordon was an undiagnosed schizophrenic and killed his mother in the early 80s. He remains in psychiatric prison, as far as I know, to this day.

Interestingly enough, I would have never heard of it without the Weather Channel.

You mean that song by the most over rated musician of all time: Eric Clapton?

It's actually the only part of the song that I like...

I think I liked it more the first 75 million times I heard it.

.......but the rest of the album sounds fresh.
AOR really sucked the life out of a few songs for me.

Man.. You just brought back awesome memories.. I loved listening to this song with my friends in their parents basement on Friday nights.

Not as much as I like the beginning

Layla is one of my favorite songs of all time, and it is a masterpiece of a song in a titanic album.
That whole album is fricking gold.
between clapton/duane's magic chemistry, bobby whitlock's soulful vocals, and the real life circumstances adding palpable passion to the tracks, this album is my favorite of all time. a very organic recording that was destiny to happen.
Tom Dowd, producer of the album, remixing it again years later. Very cool.
Also, I have never seen Goodfellas so that angle of it doesnt affect my fondness of the song.
