Alright, my co-worker is playing 'Layla' by Eric Clapton. The MP3 quality is pretty low, but it sounds like a live performance (but not accoustic).

Then, after the song finished, it quickly followed by a piano instrumental. The transformation is pretty smooth. The piano sounds like the main melody, while Clapton's guitar blends smoothly in the background.

I really like the instrumental part. Problem is, I don't know the title. The instrumental is in the same MP3 file as Layla. When I asked my co-worker for the tittle, he told me it has no title by itself; it's just the standard instrumental jam session that comes with Layla.

Well, is that true?

Then I remember a Live Aid 'album' my dad bought me way back in 1985 (well it's a bootleg actually). It's the Philadelphia concert. It also features Eric Clapton's Layla, followed by the instrumental, piano part. However, in the song list, the title is only descibed as 'Instrumental'.


Anyone knows more about this following instrumental part? What's the title, actually? Does it have a title of its own? Thanks.

Well there is an extended instrumental part at the end of the original (or at least the most famous) version of Layla which features a piano and comprises nearly half the song. Or did you mean something other that that? :?

Yes, that was I meant. Is the piano part actually a song of its own, or nothing more than Layla's instrumental extension?

As far as I'm aware, yes. I'm no music boffin admittedly, but on the CD I ripped my MP3 off, the instrumental part is on the same track-listing and I've never seen it listed separately or heard Layla played without it (unless you count the acoustic version on the Unplugged album) or otherwise had any reason to believe it's not just part of the song.

And if it's any help, on the original Derek & The Dominos album, also called Layla, Layla is the second last track and the last one is not an instrumental.

:( Aww... I thought it's a song of its own... I really like that piano part. Thanks, by the way! :D
