Summary
George Harrison and Eric Clapton shared a legendary and tumultuous friendship that shaped not only their respective lives and careers, but the shifting face of rock itself in the early 1970s. All Things Must Pass Away traces that friendship from its earliest roots in 1964, when Beatles-averse blues-rocker Eric met George backstage at the Hammersmith Odeon, through the messy trials of Clapton's affair with Harrison's wife, Pattie Boyd, to the turn of the century, as the two elder statesmen of rock traded honors during Harrison's final days. But at the heart of the story are the November 1970 releases of All Things Must Pass, Harrison's powerful emancipatory statement in the wake of the Beatles' dissolution, and Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs, Clapton's impassioned reimagining of his art via Derek and the Dominos.
Authors Womak and Kruppa interrogate these two iconic albums, from inspiration to studio sessions to legacies, and unearth new perspectives on Harrison and Clapton and they way their musicianship and songwriting advanced rock 'n' roll from a windswept 1960s idealism into the wild and expansive new reality of the 1970s. Drawing on a mountain of archival material and featuring new research, All Things Must Pass Away sweeps aside the myths in favor of a richly detailed exploration of these two remarkable albums and the men who made them.

Harrison and Clapton
Really good book. But you often wonder why they two were friends when probably in the real world they’d be enemies. Brilliant narration too.

Interesting, but limited in scope
I’m a big Beatles fan and interested in the Clapton story although less of a fan of his music than of Harrison and the Beatles, so for me it was an easy and entertaining listen. The biggest chunks of it are about All Things Must Pass and the Layla album. So if this is your era, I’m sure you will enjoy this.

A decent read
This book was a decent read.....but be warned about half the book is dedicated to the making of All Things Must Pass - which I enjoyed and discovered a lot of new stuff. But if you're already well-read on the making of the album - and you know everything there is to know about both Clapton and Harrison - you may find this book going over old ground. I enjoyed the bit about Phil Collins towards the end of the book!

A great insight into Harrison & Clapton’s relationship
I finished All Things Must Pass Away today. It was a really good insight into Harrison & Clapton’s relationship over the years, with a particular focus on 1970 and the recording of the All Things Must Pass and Layla albums. I never realised that so many of the same people performed on those albums, and all the whole Clapton was harbouring feelings for Harrison’s wife.
I’ve read a lot of Beatles biographies, but none have gone into the same level of depth of Harrison’s life and work immediately after they split, so this book filled a lot of gaps for me.

A good listen if free with Membership
The story arc is rather a narrow but generally entertaining one - But aimed at fans of George and Eric.
