Funny you mention that, Beal.
That part at the end was always one of my favorite piano parts . . .
Now, (after a few piano lessons) I can actually PLAY it.
I'm not "good" at it, but it's something to "work" on, and it's like the whole "veil of mystery" has been lifted from it . . .
it's rather cool.
I love the way they "synched" the end credits to "Goodfellas" to the changes in that tune. |

I often thought of putting words to it and calling it "the other Layla" |

That part was written by his drummer, Jim Gordon.
Back in the good-old-days before his drug-adled psychosis prompted him t'kill his mother & go t'prison. Sad. |

Got that ajax song deal in there ... 'stronger than dirt'.
I also really like the whole second half of "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" when Bobby Keys and Keith and boys get their whole groove going. |

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | I agree with Layla as well...
Back in my radio days I got a wild hair and did mix of Blinded By the Light... somewhere around the end of it after the final "make it threw the night" "I'll turn you on sonny to something strong" I brought in the Clapton ending of Layla... let it run to it's end, then dropped into the final "She got down but she never got tired, She's gonna make it....through the night"
I thought it sounded pretty cool, and apparently so did a few others as I started getting calls as to what album it was on. I just said it was a radio only version. LOL! |

Location: Phoenix AZ | "Journey From Marriabronn" by Kansas. 1975 tour they close with this tune and about 3/4 of the way through on the same downbeat the whole band stops and walks off stage - but the song keeps playing exactly on que. The whole finale was on tape loop. This was 19-friggin-75 and that sort of shit live (Capital Theater in Jersey City) wasn't so easy to pull off. |
