This album is a digital clone of: "Blind Dominoes" - Koko Music – KOKO 003, Koko Music – KOKO/001. Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker are on the front cover. Very rare album and important bootleg for the time. Please note that this CD is one of the most rare from this italian bootleg label, then part of this has been released officially in audio and video formats.
What you have in your hands is perhaps one of the bootlegs that best characterizes what Clapton did between 1969 and the following year with two bands: Blind faith before and DD after. Live in Hyde Park is certainly a historical document of considerable artistic importance and beyond. The idea of the show in Hyde Park to present the new band (in the aftermath of the dissolution of Traffic and Cream) inspired the present Mick Jagger to do the same, a few months later, to present the new reincarnation of RS with Mick Taylor in place by Brian Jones: that concert will also represent the return to the scene of the Stones after a year of absence from the stages.
Unforgettable moments of the show were the blues Sleeping in the ground - omitted in the version of the Blind Faith disc released in 1969 - and the cover Under My Thumb of the aforementioned Rolling Stones.
The second part of the bootleg is dedicated to DD.
Equally important this performance of the band at The Johnny Cash Show which gives us one of the best performances of the band in excellent audio and video quality. Before the subsequent official publications these bootlegs were the bread for many fans just to feed their curiosity.
The disc ends with a brilliant version of Got To Get Better In A Little While, the best I have heard despite the low audio quality. Version taken from a not so well-known concert: Klinehalls, Buffalo on 10/29/70. Happy listening!

London Hyde Park 1969 is the official video album by Blind Faith of their appearance at a free concert held in Hyde Park in London on 7 June 1969. It was released in the UK in 2005, and in the US and Canada in 2006. The concert was the band's debut performance and took place two months before the release of their debut album, Blind Faith in August 1969. The DVD contains the band's 45-minute performance at the event, plus additional material, including interviews with Steve Winwood, Ginger Baker and Eric Clapton, and videos of the band members performing in some of their former groups, namely the Spencer Davis Group, Traffic, Family and Cream.In a review for AllMusic, Bret Adams described London Hyde Park 1969 as an "excellent" recording of the concert.
He found Clapton's electric guitar on "Can't Find My Way Home" "fascinating" because he played acoustic guitar on that song on Blind Faith. He was also impressed with Winwood's keyboard playing on "Do What You Like" and "Presence of the Lord". Adams noted that while the inclusion of several covers in Blind Faith's set highlights one of the band's weaknesses, namely "a lack of original, fully realized songs", he called the event "pivotal" in the history of rock music.
Writing in Clouds and Clocks, Beppe Colli noted how "ill-at-ease" Clapton appeared at times, but complemented Winwood and Baker's performances.
He cited "Can't Find My Way Home" as the set's best piece and described the video album overall as "an absolutely indispensable document".
In a review in Vintage Rock, Shawn Perry had mixed feelings about the video. He described the band's performance as "listless" and "sub-par at best". He felt that while Clapton played "flawlessly", he appeared "indifferent" and seemed happy to let Winwood take the lead. Perry said "Can’t Find My Way Home","Do What You Like" and in particular "Presence of the Lord" came across nicely, and summed up the DVD, saying, "Warts and all, it’s still a worthwhile souvenir from a pivotal period in rock and roll. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Hyde_Park_1969
Derek and the Dominos Are Introduced to the U.S. 45 Years Ago
Throughout his long career, Johnny Cash straddled musical borders, including those of country, gospel and rockabilly. His appreciation of music knew no boundaries, a fact that was evident not only on his recordings but also on his short-lived variety program, The Johnny Cash Show, which ran from June 1969 to March 1971 on ABC. Cash certainly demonstrated it on this day 45 years ago, when he introduced his country music–loving audience to a group that perhaps few of them had ever heard of: the blues-rock group Derek and the Dominos, fronted by Eric Clapton and featuring keyboardist/guitarist Bobby Whitlock, bassist Carl Radle and drummer Jim Gordon.
Derek and the Dominos were unknown in the U.S. at the time this show was taped, on November 5, 1970, in Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium. The group’s sole studio album, Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs, would not be released until four days later. (The album also helped to bring greater exposure to guitarist Duane Allman, who performed on many of its tracks and whose star was rising thanks to the growing success of his own group, the Allman Brothers Band.)
At the time of the taping, Derek and the Dominos were in the midst of a short U.S. tour that would conclude in December with little fanfare. Though Layla is today regarded as one of the great achievements in rock music, the album received little attention upon its release and didn’t have a chart single until March 1972, when its title track made the Top 10 in the U.K. and U.S. Long before then, Derek and the Dominos had broken up. In fact, by the time this performance aired on January 6, 1971, they were, for all intents and purposes, finished as a group.
The clip begins with Cash introducing the group to his audience, after which Derek and the Dominos perform “It’s Too Late,” the Chuck Willis–penned track that preceded “Layla,” the penultimate track on Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs. Cash was perhaps self-conscious about presenting a group of rock musicians on his show. Right at the outset, he makes a point of breaking down any barriers between his Nashville audience and the band, saying, “If you detect any country blues picking in the song you’re about to hear, you’re right.” Cash continues to make his point following the group’s performance, when he gives a nod of appreciation for the reception he received when playing in England, Clapton's home country. Clapton, in return, acknowledges the importance of American country to English musicians. While the exchange was most likely staged, it was entirely sincere. From folk to blues to rock and roll, American musical genres influenced British musicians in the Fifties and Sixties like no other, as Clapton would readily acknowledge time and again.
As it happened, Cash also had Carl Perkins on his show that night. Perkins and Cash had both been stablemates at Sun Records in the Fifties, and their friendship continued through the years. Given that Perkins had himself been a huge influence on British musicians—most notably the Beatles, and particularly, George Harrison—it only made sense that Cash and Perkins would jam with Derek and the Dominos, choosing the Perkins hit “Matchbox” for the occasion.

Palais Des Sports, Paris, France – September 22nd, 1970The Rolling Stones always had an affinity for the city of Paris. The French city took to them early in their career. Several concerts were broadcast on Europe 1 such as the April 18th, 1965 show at L’Olympia (found on Paris Match (Dog N Cat DAC-007)) and on April 11th, 1967 (one of their final live shows with Brian Jones and which is unfortunately undocumented).
On their first tour of Europe on four years, The Stones played three shows at the Palais Des Sports on September 22nd, 23rd and 24th. Paris was the only city to schedule more than one show.
September 22nd, the first night, was broadcast live on French radio on Europe 1. The complete broadcast was recorded off the air and has been released several times in the past, including Paris 1970 (Idol Mind Productions IMP-CD 014) in 1992 and Paris Affair (VGP-127) in 1997.
Mid Valley also include one song from the opening act. Buddy Guy and Junior Wells opened the three shows for the Stones, and on the first night were joined by Eric Clapton for “It’s My Life Baby.” Clapton, who was touring the UK as Derek And The Dominoes for the second time, flew over for this one song and returned the next day in time for a show in Brighton the next night. Clapton’s presence in the song is immediately noticed by both audience and announcers, who start jabbering over Clapton’s wonderful solo. The next track is a very short fragment from backstage. One of the DJs asks one of the Stones (not sure which one) if Clapton will be joining The Stones also. The answer is in the positive, although Clapton ultimately does not jam.
"Junior Wells and I toured with the Stones in Europe in 1970. They were so damn wild back then I couldn’t keep up with them man, you know. They were just a wild bunch of kids playing the best music that you ever heard. It’s hard to put your finger on why Keith is such a great guitar player, but you never can – same thing with B.B. King. He don’t play solos like Eric Clapton or Jimi Hendrix, but whatever he does, it works. I try to copy that stuff from him and I can’t get it, man. And I’ve been trying ever since I met him.

When we hang out, the music they talk about is the same I talk about, the ones we got it from. And they got a little something from me but it was handed down by Muddy, Wolf, Sonny Boy, T-Bone, Lightnin’ Hopkins, all those people like that. All our lessons come from those guys, man, that left that legacy here. Keith is one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. When I did Shine a Light with them, Keith gave me his guitar. I’d been trying to get that for 40 years. Every time I saw him he said, “You didn’t get it from my manager?” I said, “I’m gonna get it tonight.” He’s so well educated, too. All of them are, man. That’s why they’re so damn rich – they can’t let nobody take their money!
Derek + the Dominos Play ‘The Johnny Cash Show’
We’re always on the lookout for great candidates for our Classic Videos section… particularly clips that we weren’t previously aware of from some of the all-time greats. While doing research for another story, we stumbled upon a clip of Derek and the Dominos performing on the U.S. TV series, The Johnny Cash Show.
The legend’s variety program started as a ABC TV summer replacement series in June 1969 and ultimately ran for 58 episodes, ending in March 1971. During its run, Cash‘s musical guests included such classic rock figures as Linda Ronstadt, Gordon Lightfoot, The Monkees, Creedence Clearwater Revival and Ray Charles, among many others. Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell were guests on the very first episode. Cash began each episode with his familiar “Hello, I’m Johnny Cash.”
Derek and the Dominos released what would be their lone studio album, Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs in November 1970. On a U.S. tour to promote the ambitious 2-LP set, they taped an appearance on the Cash show and performed “It’s Too Late,” an unlikely choice given that it wasn’t a single. (It was a cover of a song by the blues musician Chuck Willis.)
In the episode that originally ran on January 6, 1971, Cash introduces the number: “Hey, if you detect some country blues pickin’ in the song you’re about to hear, you’re right. Played by one of the finest musical groups in the world…” As they finish the performance, Cash comes onstage for a brief interview about the blues with “Derek.” They’re then joined by none other than Carl Perkins for a riveting performance of Perkins’ “Matchbox.” The smile on the 25-year-old Clapton’s face says it all.
Our Classic Video features Bobby Whitlock on keyboards, Jim Gordon on drums, Carl Radle on bass and Eric Clapton on guitar with two legendary figures of country music.
