No. Duane is better.


How many times did you see Duane live?

I've seen Clapton several times, Duane a three times, SRV 3 or 4 times, AND Hendrix live from the front row.

So kiss my arse . . . all o' youse.

The European flair of Clapton's is much more refined than that of Duane's endless jam session playing. It's just better. He sold more, he gets played more, it's more creative.

Easy question...both

Derek and the Dominoes FTW



I'd kill for a pristine soundboard copy of the Tampa show with Duane. The only thing available is a horrid audience recording.

Derek and the Dominos are one of my all-time favorite projects. Layla , both the album itself and the jamming sessions surrounding it, was so awesome. Key to the Highway, Anyday, the title track, Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad?...all that stuff is some of the best recorded guitar ever. Clapton and Allman really got the best out of each other.

Heard this song the other day for the first time in awhile and just was caught up in how good this song/album is.

Well, no shite. Duane's career with the ABB was all of two years.

Does not compute.

Duane was probably more talented but didn't live long enough to do all the things Clapton has done. I'm not a huge Allman brothers guy but I probably would be if he would have lived longer.



You're either forgetting or downplaying his ridiculous amount of session work. All of those classic muscle shoals albums had Duane on them
