Double Elvis.

Disgraceand is a production of Double Elvis. The stories about Eric Clapton's Derek and the Dominoes are insane.

They involve murder, a deadly motorcycle accident, and devastating heartbreak and scandal.

Eric Clapton was a one-of-a-kind guitarist seemingly hell-bent on self-destruction.

He was heavily addicted to heroin, cocaine, and throughout his stint in Derek and the Domino's,

attempted to snort his way through unrequited love.

And in doing so, came out on the other end with one of Rock's most recognizable guitar riffs and only one year after clapton's derrick and the dominoes got together the group disbanded

but a year was all they needed to introduce the world to their white-hot strain of blues which they nailed on their one and only studio album because when eric Clapton, Jim Gordon, Dwayne Allman,

Bobby Whitlock, and Carl Rattle were in the same room, they made great music. That music you heard

at the top of the show, that wasn't great music. That was a preset loop from my Melotron

called Palisade Sashay MK1.

I played you that loop because I can't afford the rights

to the long and winding road by the Beatles.

And why would I play you

that slice of last gasp of collective creativity cheese

could I afford it?

Because that was the number one song in America

on June 14th, 1970. And that was the day one song in America on June 14th, 1970.

And that was the day that Derek and the Dominoes made their live debut

and began to make their indelible contribution to rock and roll.

On this episode, Murder, Motorcycles, Unrequited Love,

and Eric Clapton's Derek and the Domino's.
