Lukestar Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I can't tell if this performance of Layla by Clapton w/Derek Trucks and Doyle Bramhall II is them trying to sound like Wilco doing Impossible Germany, or if this is how Wilco tries to sound when they're playing IG.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eg-9fd-fXEw Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jw harding Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I tweeted something about Impossible Germany being similar to Layla a few years back, and John liked it. There are definitely some similarities, between the main lick, the big jams, and I find Pat's guitar in the first half of the song to be similar to the Layla outro. Both rock epics. Similarities probably compounded when Clapton has the triple guitar lineup going. As an aside, heard the acoustic version of Layla the other day, and it is painful. Hope IG doesn't have the same fate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Robby Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I have always been of the opinion that IG sounds like Television's Marquee Moon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mus2009 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I always heard "Guiding Light" from Marque Moon during IG... Surely doesn't have anything to do with Jeff's birthday present that one year does it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
