I like the original version the best. Its one of the best "unrequited love songs" in the blues-rock genre', EVER, imho. About the only thing I can suggest is that another artist might do a version that you like - just like what Jimi Hendrix did with Bob Dylan's "All Along The Watchtower", or Johnny Winter's version of Bob Dylan's "Highway 61".

I like both of Clapton's versions - but what tips the balance for me in favor of the original is that wonderful piano coda at the end which is absent from the unplugged version.

There is an "unplugged" version of the song. I prefer the Derek and the Dominoes version.

How can you not like the original? It's all there, from a uptempo blues rock section to a slow, moving piano driven ending.

I call the unplugged version "Lame-la". The original has so much passion in it!
