Layla - Electric vs Acoustic

I like the electric much, much better. Never cared for the acoustic at all.

Granted that may just be me as I don't really like sloooow acoustic songs anyway.

Electric by a lot. The unplugged was dull. I get it, they wanted to do something a little different - but that's all it was, different. It didn't improve or come close to the original.

Having said that, "Running on Faith" from that unplugged was damn good and probably the best of the whole set.

Man, the dislike for the acoustic caught me off guard. I’m not implying that I like it better than the original, but I like the rendition — the incorporation of the piano is nice. It’s a nice, toe-tapping jazz tune. For whatever reason, it always reminds me of the French Quarter on a slow spring or summer weekend day

I wasn't a fan of the unplugged fad. But had I been, the unplugged version lacked the piano outro, which in the original, took the song from great to epic. So it loses on that alone, regardless of the boring, lazy swing.

Ditto. I reject the entire unplugged movement. I have yet to find a song that it improved - and it ruined many, Foo Fighters - Everlong being the poster child.

Electric by far but I dug the unplugged album.

The acoustic doesn't feature Duane Allman.

Electric, easily.

Electric

Clapton played the acoustic version at Jazzfest a decade ago. Was crap

Best part of the show was Paul Carrack singing How Long.

Electric. By a good bit.
