Why Does Love Got to Be So Sad?.......2005-08-27

I still don't understand why they changed the version of "Why Does Love Got to Be So Sad?" for "Live at the Fillmore", and let the "In Concert" album go out of print. The "In Concert" version of "Why Does Love" is quite possibly one of my favorite recorded versions of anything ever. It's super funky, but so soulful that it'll make the hairs on your neck stand up and maybe bring tears to your eyes. The "Live At Fillmore" version just feels sloppier to me, and the "Layla" version is just plain silly.

This version of "Why Does Love" alone makes "In Concert" worth tracking down, even if you already have "Live at the Fillmore".

simply the best.......2005-07-04

The 'In Concert' discs from Derek (aka Eric Clapton) & the Dominos stand as one of the finest live rock recordings of all time. If you own the 'Live At The Fillmore' discs, however, owning these particular recordings may be superfluous. The 'Live At The Fillmore' recordings are available in abundance, and the price is agreeable. 'In Concert' discs, though more readily available with the recent appearance of a reasonably priced Japanese import, still are selling for double the price. Given the nominal distinctions, most customers, though not all collectors, should opt for the less costly (and in many ways more rewarding) 'Live At The Fillmore' version.

The vinyl 'In Concert' albums predated the 'Live At The Fillmore' CD's by two decades, so a lot of baby boomers have a penchant for the former discs, even though both owe their origins to recordings made over two evenings at The Fillmore East in October of 1970. Clapton was at the absolute peak of his career, with a compelling catalog of songs to draw from, and a talent untainted by the excessive drug usage that would soon put his career on hold for much of the early 1970's. The 'In Concert' discs offer expansive renditions of tracks from his first solo album ('Let It Rain', 'Bottle of Red Wine' and 'Blues Power'), his double studio album titled 'Layla' ('Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad', 'Tell the Truth', and the bluesy 'Have You Ever Loved a Woman'), Blind Faith ('Presence of the Lord') and two tracks that were originals, 'Got To Get Better In a Little While' and 'Roll It Over'.

The 'In Concert' discs only offer three differences from the 'Live At The Fillmore' release. While 'Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad', 'Tell the Truth', and 'Let It Rain' all appear on the 'Live At The Fillmore' recordings, the versions offered on 'In Concert' are different performances. Clapton and crew performed two concerts each night they played The Fillmore East, so most likely 4 versions of each song were recorded. The versions of 'Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad' and 'Let It Rain' are longer on the 'Live At The Fillmore' discs (9:33 versus 14:49, and 17:47 versus 18:19 respectively), while 'Tell the Truth' is longer on the 'In Concert' version (11:20 versus 11:04). Which versions are of superior quality is debatable. I have a preference for the 'In Concert' versions of 'Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad' and 'Tell the Truth', and the 'Live At The Fillmore' version of 'Let It Rain', but the truth is I'm overjoyed that all of them are available. I also believe the 'Live At The Fillmore' recordings are a better transfer from the master tapes, but none of these recordings are expendable due to recording quality in my opinion.

Undoubtedly most consumers would compare the two collections and conclude that the 'Live At The Fillmore' discs are superior since 4 additional songs are included, but those alternate versions of three classic Clapton performances are enough to motivate a true collector to make the purchase of the 'In Concert' discs. The liner inserts and booklet also offer the nostalgia of owning replica's of the original vinyl album graphics and photographs, which are not available in the 'Live At The Fillmore' package. It's the real test of what separates the Derek & the Dominos fanatic from the average fan. Tell the truth, who are you?

man, this is great!.......2004-05-18

hearing this album again makes me feel i'm long-haired again. i think this is the best live album ec came up with, of course the rest of the dominos. don't need to get stoned no more, just listen to this album, turn off some lights and you'll be trippin' again back to the 70s. man, this is great !

Derek and the Dominos in Concert.......2003-08-29

This album/gold cds are one of the all time great live recordings
The version of "Let it Rain" is beyond description! I've heard Clapton play this song numerous times in concert-never with intensity and power on the live recording. The "Live at the Filmore" recordings are only good as compared to the Live in Concert set. The rest of the recordings are some of the finest
live recordings of any group- even The Allman Brothers Live at the Fillmore East.
