Derek and the Dominos: In Concert

In Concert was recorded in October 1970 at the Fillmore East. While Derek and the Dominos was a short-lived band, the success of Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs generated great commercial appeal.
Due to the success of In Concert, the band released the follow up live album, Live at the Fillmore, which includes many of the songs from In Concert sourced from different sets.

Track List
A1 Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad
A2 Got To Get Better In A Little While
B1 Let It Rain
B2 Presence Of The Lord
C1 Tell The Truth
C2 Bottle Of Red Wine
D1 Roll It Over
D2 Blues Power
D3 Have You Ever Loved A Woman

Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs release of In Concert is a decent offering. While the vinyl is generally quiet, so is the recording. As such, the volume must be turned up beyond typical levels to achieve the full experience of the live recording.

One can achieve a similar listening experience through many other readily available releases at a lower price. 💵
