Mark must have been like "Damn, he knows all the chords!"

[concordable]

Everyone dressed like GTA vice city extras I love the 80s

[WW-bide]

This is the happiest "sad" song about unrequited love that I have ever seen.

[Justme-jpih]

I watched every layla song that was uploaded and in each of them he performs it a bit differently. This man is just insane...

[christinafahey-matias]

This is, quite possibly, the very best performance of 'Layla' that I've ever heard! Just WoW! 🤩

[prathameshbhambure]

Holy mother of god! Every Layla is unique and this one's just that for it's party vibe. Great folks on stage.🙏💕

[whynottalklikeapirat]

Great singing from Eric in this version. Monster version overall actually.

[joycemucha]

This has got to b the very BEST version of Layla I have ever heard and seen!! It was absolutely perfection!! Eric Clapton is the greatest guitar player in the history of rock music..a genius!!❤

[nikolababic]

"How cool are you?
Mark Knopfler plays rhytm for me"
And it goes both ways and I love them for that.

[lurk]

Mark just casually fingerpicking the solo and it's as clear as a pick.

[sambakery]

Eric and Mark's harmonized guitar parts between 5:17 - 5:53 make me burst into tears every time I listen to this

[williamlaw]

Marks guitar really made this the best playingof this song two guitars in harmony.

[simonhodgetts]

These Prince’s Trust concerts were brilliant - what a lineup - you’d never get such brilliant musicians on stage together now sadly 😔

[jamesdavies]

I love Eric and Mark's guitar harmonies around 5:20 onwards, I think Eric did too judging from his smile.

[mgw]

Eric's eyes rolling in the back of his head on that solo. He went to a happy place for sure!!! I've seen them all and he played his guts out on this one!

[baroqueguitarist]

Of the best Stratocaster tones I've heard. Those Laces pickups and mid boost Electronics with whatever amp and effects made a huge clear exciting sound. I can see why every strat player switched to Lace Sensors back then.

[beJT]

Clapton's voice is so good here. It just sounds so right

[gregmagpantay]

The best vwrsion of layla..the blending guitar of clapton and knopler.
