Hey Tom
There are a lot of interesting pieces surrounding Derek and the dominoes. For one thing the name. It was suggested apperently by a mc at a show who was tired of calling the band Eric Clapton and friends. Apperently someone had accidently at some point called him Derek and it stuck as a nick name. When it came time for the mc to call them out they needed a name. They thought of Fats Domino and then it was decided (as it had a 50s pop ring to it. Derek and the Dominoes. Eric liked the feel of it though the other members weren't quite sure. Plus there is an amazing amount of tragedy surrouding Derek and the Dominoes and the Allman Brothers. Not to mention Eric himself. Apperently Layla was not recieved very well critically as an album and it sent Eric into a tailspin of excess drinking and drugs for many years.
