Small Discoveries from Monday

The Roots feat. Erykah Badu doing Billie Jean

J. Viewz interpreting another Michael Jackson song: Smooth Criminal ("Annie are you OK?")

Layla live with Eric Clapton, The Rolling Stones, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page.
The "Derek and the Dominoes" version - the fast one - is actually the original. I knew the slower, intimate, "unplugged" version first, so hearing it sped and noised up was a bit of a shock. But I think this version is just as touching.

That unplugged Layla ruined one of the greatest rock songs of its era.

Eric Clapton needs a firm hand on his shoulder when playing unplugged, or he gets too sentimental and yes, ruins a good song. I do like his "Layla" though.
