I believe this is a Betts composition. Jaimoe introduced Charles "Bird" Parker, Miles Davis (Dickey said he had him in mind when he composed Liz Reed), Django Reinhardt (Dickey composed Jessica with him in mind; Django had played with only three fingers having lost two in a fire, and Jessica is written to play with only 3 fingers in tribute to him), and many other fine jazz musicians to the Brothers. It opened up their musical sensibilities. Kind of Bird imo opinion is a fine attempt, though Dickey acknowledges that jazz musicians "are coming from a different place" than ABB. Btw, Chick Correa and others have told Dickey that he is the "original" jazz fusionist.
It sure sounds like Dickie's instrumental style and he wrote it with Warren Haynes, who is also the real deal and a lover of jazz. As Duane once said, Eric Clapton's good but he's no Dickie Betts, or something similar, just outstanding...
This was back from the days when you could hear real musicians play real music on TV.... would have been nice to hear em all stretch out a little more but Iii take it.
Stretch out a little more, seriously? This is one of the best jazz fusion songs ever written and a tribute to the great jazz sax player Charlie "Bird Man" Parker. To pull this one off on live TV was a testament to the talent of the Brothers. Carson's incredible band was pumped to be able to perform with such accomplished musicians
@@SouthernRocker I think i read somewhere that Johnny did not like rock performers, he was strictly jazz. However, he loved the ABB because they could "keep up" with the house band. He never did have a lot of rockers on.
@@jrfranz13 Yes, jr, I remember hearing that as well, he was thoroughly impressed by the Brothers amazing talent! I'd only add that they transcended regular rock 'n' roll with so many other influences...miss them!
@@jrfranz13, The short-lived supergroup Little Village (Ry Cooder, John Hiatt, Nick Lowe, Jim Keltner) played on the Johnny Carson show, largely because Johnny was an amateur jazz drummer and greatly respected Jim Keltner's drumming.
@@rickc9539 actually his first recordings as a leader or co-leader were from 1945 and he died in 1955. And here is some interesting info from wikipedia: In the fall of 1936, Parker traveled with a band from Kansas City to the Ozarks for the opening of Clarence Musser's Tavern south of Eldon, Missouri. Along the way, the caravan of musicians had a car accident and Parker broke three ribs and fractured his spine. The accident led to Parker's ultimate troubles with pain killers and opioids, especially heroin. Parker struggled with drug use for the rest of his life...It was in 1939 in New York that Parker had his musical breakthrough that had begun in 1937 in the Missouri Ozarks. Playing through the changes on Cherokee, Parker discovered a new musical vocabulary and sound that forever shifted the course of music history.
The original Big Band of Brothers....excellent...
In my opinion, one of the most underrated ABB songs
the greatest american band of all time!
Wow, the unmistakable sound of the Allman's with the bonus of Doc Severinsen. The real Tonight Show often featured great
musical performances.
AND THIS..BOY'S AND GIRL'S IS HOW YOU COMPOSE AN INSTRUMENTAL...
THIS IS MR.DICKEY BETTS AT HIS ABSOLUTELY VERY BEST!!!!!
ABB - 4 - EVER!!!!!!

The Allman Brothers AND Doc Severinsen? Awesome! Thanks for uploading this.
That has to be the hippest Allman Bros composition ever - Aaawesome!
Nobody could ever touch the ABB pros to the end.
Now THIS is so great and inspiring. Awesome live performance~!
The song is a tribute to Charlie "Bird" Parker.
Wow.
This is why Zappa loved them!
Amazing!!’
On fire!

Two things. Doc swings! Am I hearing a brief homage to Hendrix ca 1:35 and 2:55?
Absolutely awesome!!!

Versatility and virtuosity.

I hear what you're saying but I'm glad this wasn't a jam band performance.

Awesome!!!!!!
This is insanity
Woody is there so it was in the late 80's
This was Oct. 9th 1991. Allen Woody played with ABB from '89 to '97.
When was this from? I think I recognized Dicky Betts. Thought the other guitarist might be a young Warren Haynes
The Tonight Show, with Johnny Carson, in the early 90's. And yes, that is Warren with Dickie.
