Layla vocals and lead guitar only – Wow

I just came across the video below, which includes the audo of Layla, stripped down to lead guitar and vocals. Or so it says; certain lead tracks are definitely not there. You will hear what’s missing. But it is a fascinating and sometimes eerie listen. Check out what happens at around the 2:00 mark, with Duane’s slide and Clapton’s moaning. That’s the essence of the song.
