===October–December 1970 live shows=== After the recording of ''Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs'', the four-piece Derek and the Dominos returned to the UK to continue touring there before heading back to America to start the US tour on 15 October. Allman performed two shows with the group near the end of the US tour: at [[Curtis Hixon Hall]], in Tampa, Florida, on 1 December, and at the [[Onondaga County War Memorial]] in Syracuse, New York, the following night.<ref>{{cite web|author=Sean Kirst |url=http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/2012/01/music_legends_from_aerosmith_t.html#incart_hbx |title=Music legends from Aerosmith to ZZ Top made our War Memorial the place to be |website=Syracuse.com |date=15 January 2012 |access-date=2012-02-27}}</ref> Whitlock recalled of their drug consumption during the tour: "We didn't have little bits of anything. There were no grams around, let's just put it like that. Tom couldn't believe it, the way we had these big bags laying out everywhere. I'm almost ashamed to tell it, but it's the truth. It was scary, what we were doing, but we were just young and dumb and didn't know. [[Cocaine]] and [[heroin]], that's all and [[Johnnie Walker|Johnny Walker]]."<ref>''[[The Layla Sessions]]'' liner notes, page 12.</ref> [[Elton John]], who opened for them, said that despite the reports of drugs and booze, "They were phenomenal. From the side of the stage, I took mental notes of their performance ... it was their keyboard player Bobby Whitlock that I watched like a hawk ... You watched and you learned, from people that had more experience than you."<ref>{{cite book |last1=John |first1=Elton |title=Me: Elton John the Official Autobiography |date=2019 |publisher=Pan Macmillan |isbn=978-1-50-985331-1 |page=86}}</ref> In 1973, a live double album, titled ''[[In Concert (Derek and the Dominos album)|In Concert]]'', was released, culled from the band's October 1970 shows at the [[Fillmore East]] in [[New York City]]. Six of the recordings from that album were digitally remastered, remixed and expanded with additional material from the same shows to become ''[[Live at the Fillmore (Derek and the Dominos)|Live at the Fillmore]]'', released in 1994.<ref>{{AllMusic|class=album|id=r195524|tab=review|label=Album review|first=William|last=Ruhlmann|access-date=17 August 2018}}</ref>
