In Concert is a live double album, recorded by Derek and the Dominos in October 1970 at the Fillmore East and released January 1973.

Six of the album's nine tracks were later included on the 1994 album Live at the Fillmore. The three songs not included are "Why Does Love Got to Be So Sad," "Let It Rain," and "Tell the Truth." Live at the Fillmore also includes these songs, although they are from different sets than the ones appearing here.

Cash Box reviewed the live single release of "Why Does Love Got to Be So Sad" saying it contains "some fine guitar work and plenty of commercial appeal."[1]
