"Still love listening to Live at the Fillmore East, 1971. "

I caught Zeppelin there in 1969.

I've read that Greg Allman is uncredited on many famous records. They say he'd show up when asked, play his heart out and leave with a bag of cash.

Layla was one of those songs.

Duane, not Gregg.

Are you sure you're not thinking of Leon Russell, who was a member of "The Wrecking Crew"?

CORRECTION: Duane...Not Greg.

By the way, Duane Allman is not only credited on Layla, he is acknowledged on the whole Derek and the Dominos: Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs album and is regarded as a member of the Dominos band.

The original point, that he (not Gregg) was a sessions player on many fine performances both credited and uncredited, remains true.

That was Duane, he did a lot of session work and was brought in to play off Eric Clapton.
