Eric Clapton Live at Montreux 1986

A little music from the past. Montreux is in Switzerland on Lake Geneva.
The song which first came out in 1970 was inspired by Clapton's love for Patty Boyd who he later married. By 1986 they had already separated. The title, Layla, was inspired by the love story of Layla / Layla and Majnun.
There are many live versions of Clapton playing Layla and probably most of them are on YouTube.

Here it is: Layla

Hmmm...Lake Geneva...Geneva...Going Down Geneva (Van Morrison)...Later
