Layla – 46 years ago today

– From the College of Rock and Roll knowledge.

On Aug. 26, 1970, The Allman Brothers Band was playing a concert at the Miami Beach Convention Center. During the same time, Eric Clapton was in Miami recording his new project Derek and the Dominos. Clapton decided to catch the ABB. After the show, Eric and Duane Allman started talking and Eric invited invited Duane to come to Criteria Studios, were he was recording at. Allman was happy just to observe, but Clapton insisted he grab his guitar and play. The sessions began that very night where they reportedly jammed until the next evening.
It stands to this day as one of the most famous collaborations in Rock and Roll history. Think "Layla"!!!!! 46 years ago today.
