 Reason to Rock: Derek and the Dominos
Derek and the Dominos was really the shortest-lived of the bands, producing only one studio album, and never playing in concert with the same configuration that produced the album (Duane Allman being the missing ingredient in the live shows).
In fact, though, Derek and the Dominos was a band with a distinct identity, and their one recorded album was a truly collaborative effort.
And then, of course, there is the fact that “Derek” turned out to be a very transparent guise for Eric, so it is easy to think of this one album as just another of Clapton's solo albums, with a constantly shifting personnel list playing in the background.

 Derek and the Dominos
This is a question that’s as old as the blues itself, and it’s certainly relevant when considering Derek and the Dominos’ 1970 album "Layla," the strongest recording of Eric Clapton’s career, and arguably the greatest blues-rock album ever made.
The original idea was to issue an album as the pseudononymous "Derek and the Dominos," packaged in a cover (depicting a female figure by painter Frandsen-de Schonberg that, in retrospect, looks quite a bit like Boyd) devoid of any other info.
Recalled Clapton: "It was like a Woody Allen movie." As for the Dominos, they toured for several months after recording "Layla," taped the potent "In Concert" live album, and split up in April 1971, long before their time, as their leader has said.

(It would return to the U.K. Top Ten in 1982.) A live album, Derek and the Dominos in Concert (January 1973), taken from the 1970 U.S. tour, was also a strong seller.
The Layla album was successful in the U.S., where "Bell Bottom Blues" and the title song charted as singles in abbreviated versions, but it did not chart in the U.K. The Dominos reconvened to record a second album in May 1971, but split up without completing it.
Derek & the Dominos was a group formed by guitarist/singer Eric Clapton (born Eric Patrick

 Amazon.ca: Music: Live At The Fillmore [LIVE]
In his liner notes, Anthony DeCurtis calls Live at the Fillmore "a digitally remixed and remastered version of the 1973 Derek and the Dominos double album In Concert, with five previously unreleased performances and two tracks that have only appeared on the four-CD Clapton retrospective, Crossroads." But this does not adequately describe the album.
Live at the Fillmore is not exactly an expanded version of In Concert; it is a different album culled from the same concerts that were used to compile the earlier album.
Even when the same recordings are used on Live at the Fillmore as on In Concert, they have, as noted, been remixed and, as not noted, re-edited.

 Eric Clapton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This was made evident in the choice of name Derek and the Dominos; which derived from an announcer's mispronunciation of the group's provisional name -- Eric and The Dynamos -- at their first concert appearance.
Eric Clapton is credited on the Dire Straits' Brothers in Arms album due to the fact that he loaned Mark Knopfler one of his guitars for the album.

 Amazon.com: Layla: Music: Derek & Dominos
While good in its own way, this version seems to be a mere blueprint to the extended one which appears on the In Concert album: one of the all too few examples of where the "live" version is much better than the original.
From its opening riff to its last note the song is pure blues, Clapton audibly on the brink of the madness he sings about, and his guitar wailing, moaning and crying out all that was in his heart: "Layla...
Merely listening to the song is emotionally exhausting, and you can only imagine what must have gone on in the studio and inside Clapton during its recording.
