Via Avedon, here's a YouTube capture of a helluva supergroup playing "Layla." Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Mark Knopfler, The Rolling Stones (no Mick), Kenny Jones, Steve Winwood, Ray Cooper. Elapsed time: 6:45.
From the same video source, here's Clapton and band rehearsing "Crossroads" with Bob Dylan. Elapsed time: 4:17.
I admit I'm clueless as to who Kenny Jones and Ray Cooper are. Anybody care to enlighten me?

Cooper is the other drummer in the vid, long-time sessions man who also did road tours, though never officially a member of any significant bad. In that capacity he worked with most of those other guys on the stage often enough, as well as Pink Floyd, George Harrison, Elton John and others.
