[Slowhand] Re: WT, Cocaine & Layla - my take

[Eric Lacroix]

I feel like JR.
Layla (electric version) can't be considered the same way as Cocaine and 
WT. Cocaine is not even an EC song.
Clapton develop wonderful solos on Layla. I have in mind some of the 85 
and next, and 90/91 and later shows. Very inspired. I feel the same way 
with 'The Sheriff'.
My thought about cocaine is that the live versions last too long. 3 or 4 
minutes of Cocaine is enought, even if I love the Just One Night version 
(great solos, both EC and AL) and the one from the bootleg Class Blues 
(24-10-1990).

Whatever, we are just fans, and I asume that 90% of the audience sees 
Clapton just one time in their life and they expect to have the hits.
