    Description

    Here's an unused
    DEREK & THE DOMINOS
    ticket
    from December 1st, 1970.
    This is a
    pretty special find for the true Duane Allman or Eric Clapton
    fans.  This concert was only one of two s
    hows that Duane performed live with the band.  So, there are only 2 such tickets you can find,  the other would be from Syracuse the following night.
    The ticket is in great shape with a very small spot and slight edge wear on the front.  Otherwise, it's very firm, straight and with tight corners.
    Derek and the Dominos
    were a
    blues rock
    band formed in the spring of 1970 by guitarist and singer
    Eric Clapton
    with keyboardist
    Bobby Whitlock
    , bassist
    Carl Radle
    and drummer
    Jim Gordon
    , who had all played with Clapton in
    Delaney, Bonnie & Friends
    .
    Duane Allman
    was also invited by Clapton to sessions to add slide guitar to a number of tracks.
    The band released only one studio album,
    Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs
    . The album featured slide guitar from guitarist
    Duane Allman
    , who contributed powerful slide guitar work on most of the cuts on the album.

    His most memorable contribution was to the album's title track, "
    Layla
    ". The album went on to receive critical acclaim, but initially faltered in sales and in radio airplay. Although released in 1970 it was not until March 1972 that the album's single "Layla" (a tale of
    unrequited love
    inspired by Clapton's relationship with his friend
    George Harrison
    's wife,
    Pattie Boyd Harrison
    ) would make the top ten in both the United States and the United Kingdom. The album, which has received praise from both critics and fans alike, is often considered to be the defining achievement of Clapton's career.
    After the recording of
    Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs
    , the group undertook a drug-riddled and vice-prone US tour that didn't include Allman, who had returned to
    The Allman Brothers Band
    after the recording process. However, Allman did perform two shows with the group at
    Curtis Hixon Hall
    , in Tampa, Florida, on 1 December 1970, and at the
    Onondaga County War Memorial
    in Syracuse, New York, the following night.
