Derek and the Dominos

Derek and the Dominos were at a pivotal moment in their career during the live recording at the Fillmore East in October 1970. Just prior to this performance, they had released their iconic debut double album, "Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs," earlier that year. This album, particularly its title track featuring the heartfelt guitar work of Eric Clapton, was crucial in shaping their legacy. Interestingly, the Fillmore shows were one of the band's last significant performances before they disbanded shortly afterward. This period was marked by intense emotion both in their music and personal lives, as Clapton's unrequited love for Pattie Boyd and the band's internal dynamics began to take a toll. The combo of their raw live sound and the palpable tension made for an unforgettable night, even if the recordings remained unreleased for years.
