Captured on stage in 1970, this image shows Eric Clapton in the early days of Derek & The Dominos, performing at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, New York. With his eyes closed and guitar in hand, Clapton appears fully immersed in the music, a moment of raw focus and quiet power that defined this short-lived but legendary band.

Photographed by Elliott Landy, known for his intimate portraits of rock icons, this shot is more than a concert image — it’s a rare look at Clapton during a pivotal creative shift, just before the release of Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs. The atmosphere is understated yet electric, a reflection of both the man and the moment.

A Moment in Music History, Signed by the Eye Who Saw It

Every Elliott Landy print comes with this official backing — a record of its origin, location, materials, and legacy. It’s more than a print. It’s a documented piece of rock and roll history, captured through the lens of one of the era’s most iconic photographers. Printed on archival, 100% cotton rag paper and hand-signed by Elliott himself, each piece is a testament to the artist’s vision and the cultural moment it preserves.

Elliott Landy — The Eye of the Woodstock Generation

Elliott Landy was one of the first photographers to treat music photography as fine art — and the world followed. His iconic portraits of Bob Dylan (Nashville Skyline), The Band (Music From Big Pink, The Band), Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Van Morrison (Moondance), and Jim Morrison helped shape the visual identity of some of the most important records of the 20th century. As the official photographer of the 1969 Woodstock Festival, his work became inseparable from the ideals of the era — peace, rebellion, and raw creative freedom.
