I would never think a cover of Layla would beat the original, and it doesn't. But I like Clapton's unplugged version of Layla just as much as the original, which is weird because it has no power.
The original Layla, Clapton slits his wrists and bleeds all over the song sheet.
The unplugged version is completely at peace.
What a dichotomy, yet I like them equally. Just... strange.
