Yes, fair enough!!!
I must admit that the first time I heard Eric Clapton play Layla acoustically, I thought, ... Oh No! What has he done!! ... And I'm pretty sure a lot of people had a similar reaction, or worse. It grew on me after a while, though.
Still, the electric guitar part on the original Layla, regardless of what the song was about, was so appealing, I think it's only natural for those of us who like the sound of a well played electric guitar to be a little appalled that he was now abandoning that sound. But then, with the acoustic guitar, there would have been no way to get that sound. If it had been me, I would have left the acoustic version of the song out of the show. Really.
