It's heart breaking that these awesome people are getting old.

Eric's voice and playing are still strong, he sounds great.

An absolute grandmaster of the guitar. Long live Eric Clapton

my mom loved this song so much she named me Layla, honored to have it!

I really love the way the Layla riff sits in Eric’s solo. Pure class. Eric, if you are in here. Your music means so much to me it’s impossible to put into words. All I can say is thank you.

Clapton is like good old wine,the older he gets,the better he is.

Steve Gadd is the secret weapon here. Not many drummers can do finesse so well; this is almost like a Keltner drum performance. So tasty. His time is impeccable.

#EricClapton I pray that this message somehow reaches you. I gave birth to my only daughter in 2007. She's the love of my life. I named her after this song. Thank you for writing such a beautiful work of art so that I could give my daughter her beautiful name who is the greatest and most beautiful work of art I've ever laid my eyes on. Thank you, I love you. Sheena♡

Age is just a number for the legend . Look how smoothly he kills the solo at the end.

That Martin sounds incredible in his hands.

WHAT AN HONOUR !

ERIC CLAPTON FOREVER

The solo with the lick from the rock version integrated in it was 🤌🤌

Still going strong :D, at 4:19 playing the licks from the electric version was a nice touch :D

This is absolutely amazing . Eric Clapton is a true legend !

The solo by Chris Stainton on keyboard is just so beautiful

4:27 love Chris Stainton's smile when he ears the Layla's riff

Clapton is the master, his music only becomes more refined and silky, yet held in simplicity now, leaving behind any periphery, any unneeded extra's, making him a "master. It is pure joy to listen to his sound. Seems he has always been in my life, his music is an old friend. Now, he grows old, and I also grow old, but his sound is even better with time, pristine, gentle and always a gift. It reflects Eric's authenticity from a soul level. He is his own. Thank you Eric for all the years of pure musical bliss. Sara Weslow

32yo from Turkey, i raised with Eric Clapton's songs, i'm big fan of him. Wish him a long and happy life. Hope to qatch his concert live someday. Greetings from Turkey

Ladies and gentlemen. We are watching true talent at its best. These men came from a time where everyone involved had to know exactly how to play, be on the same page and practice for hours if not days! True musicians. Paving the way for future musicians!

Reinventing your own songs with a lot of class accompanied by high-level musicians. An example for all musicians.

Everyday , Every day I got the blues because I never got to see a Crossroads Guitar Festival with all of you. Not a day a day goes by I do not play a version of this song while I sit at my desk working I play Eric all day long.

I was born in 99. So without a doubt i never really got in touch with older music. Thankfully my former guitar teacher told me to listen to Eric then BB and everytime we met he told me ayy you ever listened to *insert name of a legendary player here*. Im not really good at playin guitar but i sure listen to great music all day long. Thanks for everything Olli !

Mr.Clapton, you are an absolute master, I wish you good health and happiness.

Nice to see that "Slow Hand' is back and looking healthy! Stay well, Sir Eric Clapton.

The actual riff in the acoustic version, Love it. Clapton is God

let’s thank the true icon of this song, my queen pattie. amen 🕺🏼

He stills standing

Eric: Thank you so many years of inspiration. My 29 years of guitar playing has been heavily influenced by your pursuit of excellence. The guitar is an amazing tool; it enables us to express a myriad of emotions. I'll play mine until my last day.

A true voice for freedom. What a legend

old but gold period.

Thank you....

Eric definitely hasn’t lost his touch. A true. legend.

My dad used to listen to Clapton all the time! I then found out Clapton and I have the same birthday, always feels special listening to him!

Wonderful... You have it still...

That’s MUSIC….❤️

Clapton singing "Layla...." in this recording is the most soothing thing I've heard. His performances aren't flashy anymore and yet so heartfelt! Only getting better with age, my EC. Adorable video this is.... keep em coming!

C L A P T O N I S G O D !

Eric soundtrack of life

Music is timeless. Bodies fade...

Eric is one of the only musicians today I can say hasn’t deteriorated in his playing. He’s so good and solid at his age. Very much respect goes to him and his band. Truly amazing to see this. If only Bobby Whitlock and Chris Stainton could back him up together. Saw him live with Billy Preston before he passed. So cool. 🎸

✨You sir....Are simply brilliant!✨💕❤️💕🇨🇦🇮🇹

His voice is just so iconic it’s unreal

Mr Clapton The Best !!!!

Every time I think there is nothing that Eric Clapton can surprise me with, he manages to take me for an amazing journey I never expected to experience again. Quality truly stands the test of time.

Eric...50 years of playing and I'm still emulating you. You are and always will be my favorite guitarist!

It was absolutely great to see and hear Eric Clapton and other musicians jamming out Layla.

Маэстро- это, без преувелисения, одна из выдающтхся песен всех времен. Спасибо Вам за удоволььствие. Как жаль, что сейчас так мало выдающихся музыкантов.

Ah man...Steve Gadd and Nathan East make the groove float around effortlessly...They are all timeless musicians. 👍

Keep going Eric! Really liking the relaxed nature of this album.

I love how that drummer was lit before the song even started. From now on, if the drummer isn't this excited about the jam, I don't wanna hear him!

Never fails to impress. Eric in in a class on his own

He could play this song a 1000 times in a 1000 different ways. We love you slowhand.

It's so Good hearing he's legend forever

No one gets the sound out of an acoustic as well as Eric! ❤

Hey there Eric. Listening from the Dominican Republic. We're with you. Those of your friends who believe differing views have no room in friendships are just blinded by fear. Don't blame them. Let's spread the love. It's so scarce in these divisive times...

Great performance. Applause.

Como el vino…mejorando con los años 😍😍😍😍😍

Damn, I love the electric version of this so much, the passion, the energy is so in your face that no wonder it has been voted one the best love/rock songs ever. This version, however is on another level, yes he's done layla unplugged countless times before but this to me is the best rendition he's done so far, maybe because it's a back to basics, stripped to the bone, me and my mates with no pressure kind of mentality

LEGEND NEVER DIE. HE LIVE IN NY EAR AND MY YEAR.

Clapton you are really amazing I hope this beautiful art never runs out

Not enough’s ever been made of Eric’s voice, it really is special

I love Eric Clapton. From Greece🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷

Eric, you’ve still got it!

Re-inventing his own music. Clapton still has it and even more. Thank you Sir for the joy you brinh in so many hearts and souls. Stay blessed.

After a cover of Black Magic Woman (I actually had knew Clapton from his contribution in While My Gutar Gently Weeps), I then searched more of Eric Clapton's performance in KZfaq, Layla is one of it , and, boy, after seeing some of his performances, I proudly announced myself as a fan of Eric Clapton. Now, we finally get Lady In Balcony session' Layla and it is indeed a bless for everyone ear. Hope we can see more of Lady In Balcony session. You are indeed one of greatest guitarist alive. Thank you very much Eric Clapton and band!

That riff never gets old

THIS MAN IS A GIFT FROM GOD 🤍

Eric has been my role model growing up with my guitar. God bless and thank you 😎🎸👑🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✌🏼❤️

this session is gold... very very well engineered, mixed and played. Pure class

Even his mates smilled surprised when played the electric version. I dont know why i drop tears every time i see him enjoying playing... maybe his Blues is a mirror of my own pain... beautiful.

seeing Gadd with a real laid back set up and just whisper the groove away, senses are fulfilled. ❤

living legend Eric Clapton😎

Merci Eric Clapton pour tout ce que vous êtes

This song hit home with me about 6 years after it was first recorded in 1970 when I was 17 . It was 1976 I was out of the Navy after a 4 year stay going to college and drinking downtown after playing on the beach all day in Calif . I was parked downtown in my Van , small college town with rich retired people in the big homes. I had the radio on as I lay in bed in the back of the Van 1972 Van all fixed up inside for camping , my shorty Boogie Van...lol.. I did alright with the girls in College but just was not finding the love of my life. I lost her when her family moved back to the Netherlands in 1970 . This song came on and seared itself into my brain followed up by Thorn tree in the garden ...That night those songs that feeling of love lost unforgettable ... fast forward to 2010 I found my lost Dutch love she was still in the Netherlands and she came to me in the USA . Her marriage was over she had her kids they were grown and gone . We held in our hands a fairy tale ending it was not an easy ride I went to her in Holland and bought a used car and took her out of her lousy rented room to France an ancient small rental rock house in Huelgoat was to be our start . Everything that could go wrong went wrong while we were there she fell for the single man next door in the big house he used and rejected her she came back to me the next day but my heart was broken for good this time after several years of trouble. I took her back to the Netherlands and gave her the car and I got on an airplane and back to the USA I went. We talked online over the year I went back to visit...no good...bought her another used car and furniture for her apartment . We talked online again...we will be friends so I bought a used car for me in her name in the Netherlands for me to see Europe in. She wrecked my car the man gave her 2 thou euro she added 500 from the sale of the 2 nd car I bought her to that and went and bought another car and that was that...Not so much as a thank you I never even got to drive " My car " also during that time she took up with a gay man he would spend weekends or a week night with her at her place it was not fun to see his face pop up on a skype call with her on a Friday at 4pm start of their 3 day & night long weekend... I learned one cannot go back at least this one can't...She was better as a lost love in 1970 ....she turned my whole world upside down...sorry for this long rant...I blame Eric Clapton....lol... I fade out with , Thorn tree in the garden playing softly on the turntable record player ...I'm going to buy a big motorcycle and ride till it's over...make the best of the situation before I finally go insane..

he made such a great song that has been still popular after 50 years. I have been listening that song literally every day for 8 years. what makes that song so imperishable is not only the lyrics or music, but also its the story behind it. Thanks Mr. Clapton, You won't be forgotten.

I really enjoy listening to Eric's voice. I hear his heart well in his voice. Every sound he makes is his voice.

I can't be the only one who was immediately reminded of "See if you can spot this one" upon hearing this fantastic rendition of a beloved song. 😉(Even though TLITB is entirely different than Unplugged). My heart is so moved! My goodness! Thank you, Mr. Clapton from the bottom of my ever grateful heart. ❤

That truly purely musically smile after that signature layla solo

Yes, Forever Young!!!

The sound is amazing. GOAT

This version was spectacular, it managed to extract the best possible sound from each instrument, and each one was well placed with its arrangements.

Love how Eric sticks his middle one out every time he mentions Layla.

He still has got it. He sounds if anything even better. Respect!!!

The “Old Masters” nail it, yet again…….

Thank you, Eric, your music always soothes my Soul. We are the same generation and I followed you from the beginning. xx

„i‘ve got a guitar hanging just about waist high, and i‘m gonna play this thing, untill the day i die“🤘🏻

I love his lovely music, still now🍀

Eric, you created the best song in history. I am Iranian and when I was 10 years old, the first foreign song I listened to was your song. I hope you will always be alive and play for us forever.❤️🙌🏻

I hope all the crappy critics and music “journalists” can separate the music from Eric’s public words the last few months. This recording series is pure, raw and extremely good. Many Thanks to Nathan, Steve & Chris for making this happen.

This is my absolute favorite version of this song, enhanced by watching (and re-watching) these guys play together on video. Amazing interplay of such talented musicians!! Eric Clapton's voice gets better with age, like no one else's! His guitar was, and is, always tops!!

Beautiful-------and thank you, Eric, for speaking out about your reaction to "the shot."

Love the way he always does new arrangements to keep his songs fresh! BRAVO

Playing the guitar and plucking heart strings too. Got this on loop.

These guys can come hang out in my living room any time. Wonderful!

I recall an MTV interview shortly after SRV past. Clapton was asked how long he thought he'd keep it up. He looked at his hands and simply said, "As long as my hands can still play, I'll keep going." Or words to that affect. That was around 1990. Here we are well into 2022. The man is in his 70's and still moving. That's the key right there. KEEP MOVING CLAPTON!

Cada reversión que hace de sus canciones es mejor que la anterior. Genio 🤟

Not only is he talented, he is for FREEDOM! Thanks Eric and the players!

i love Nathan East! he's the soul of these Clapton performances!
