Personally, I lean more toward the Allman Brothers. Great studio and live albums with Duane.
The Derek and the Dominos album is awesome, but live there was always something off. Part of it was that Duane wasn't involved outside of recording the one studio album with the exception of a guest appearance on the tour. Also, Eric Clapton was messed up a lot of the time during the recording and tour and in spite of his brilliance, it does show.
It is just too obvious that Duane's involvement is what made that album as great as it was. Love the group, but I just can't go along with Derek being the best guitar rock album of the era when there are equally fine studio productions by formidable groups like the Allman Brothers, Wishbone Ash, etc.
