I’m a old bass player. I’ve seen the original ABB and the 5 pc many times. Sir you nailed the bass parts. I wish I could do that and I thought I could but man you nailed it.
Damn that was a good cover. That bass player has chops! Berry Oakley and Allen Woody would be proud of that right there! And that drummer is Bonzo incarnate !
I saw Grissom play with Allman Brothers in 93 filling in for Betts who was in rehab . Grissom and Haynes were the guitarists. Did an admiral job as I remember.
I saw David Grissom with Storyville at tiny dive bar back when "Good day for the blues" had just come out. Not 30 seconds into the first song the other guitarists amp crapped out and the tech never got it working again. David Grissom carried the entire show and killed everybody. I had never heard of him before that night but I walked away impressed as hell and never forgot him after that. Dude can play the geetar.
interesting story - that's a shame they didn't get David Holt (the other guitarist for Storyville) up & running b/c he's an excellent guitar player, and the two of them together would've really blown your mind ...
@@SotR59 You probably right!! When I went to Nashville I had two guitars and one amp and my pedal board. We carried an extra RI Twin on the bus and all of us ended up using it at some point.
Love that bass player. Sounds like David has really found "his" tone and is getting what he wants from his gear. Sounds like a lot less gain than he used back in the 90's but it still SINGS like crazy. Love it.
Tonight: James wears a hat....Richard wears a hat.....and I (Jeremy Clarkson) wear a hat.... Top Gear chose an awesome song as their introduction music. Great cover/song!
Jessica is not an easy tune to do even with a 7 piece let alone a 4 piece. Excellent version and tribute to the genius of Dicky Betts and also Les Dudek who wrote the tune but never credited (check out Les Dudek on Old Judge Jones). A tour de force. The tough part in this song (and yes the solo is hard of course) is the rhythm section. ABB had 2 drummers and a percussion in there and the counter rhythms are important for the feel but these guys pull it off. It helps to be them!
thanks for this version. i'm a drummer trying to learn this tune. trying to cover the allman version with their two drummers and percussionist was too much for me to do.
Well DON'T listen to this drummer! He's never in the pocket, and it really shows in another Grissom doing "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" Grissom deserves a much better drummer!
Also check out this drummer with Jack Pearson! A 3 piece organ trio, where the Hamond b-3 player uses bass pedals. This guy is a really good drummer th-cam.com/video/L7-hjQXPXCg/w-d-xo.html
I don't think that's honeyburst. I could be wrong, but looking at the PRS color chart, it looks more like yellow tiger. It's actually kinda brown in appearance. It looks honeyburst in the video because of the stage lighting (and my iPhone camera).
@@wangbar1 Haha mate, as good as you, David Grissom, & I are, None of us are that good, unless we have an 8Fret finger stretch, I didn't see him kick in a peddle, so it must have been a bit of a backing track added, But you can add your thoughts,, Gib,, (oh yes, he has more skills in his pinky than I have in two hands)
@@HittingImage Hi there, maybe your right, but it sounds exactly like a guitar to me. (While your here, you might as well look at Gib Williamson Nessun Dorma on a PRS) say Hi
yes it is not an easy tune to pull off convincingly. All the parts are fairly easy but it's the making it all work together as one. That rhythm section is doing an amazing job of replacing almost 2 times the number of musicians on the original. Dicky would be proud.
The “dude” is Bryan Austin. He’s a friend, a very cool guy, and a fantastic drummer with all due respect to the perceived thud and whack... just sayin’
I tried Jessica with my buddies and although we had all the parts down and did an OK job it just wasn't jelling fast enough for me. The ABB had 2 drummers and a percussionist on this plus the advantage of overdubs in the studio. Don't underestimate this band doing it here. They are doing an outstanding job. The drummer is better than he sounds as the recording is not great. The keyboard could be louder and the guitar could be a tad louder at some points. For some reason this tune I find harder than let's say Memories of Elizabeth Reed. That one can be done in a trio and can still sound great but Jessica is more sophisticated and the timing and phrasing of everyone involved must be right on all the time and all together. If you miss a note or phrasing here and there it's a small trainwreck. Go check out other bands trying this tune live including the ABB (some of their versions fall flat and some are pure beauty) most of them are playing all the right notes but the feel just is not there. This version here is the best version I have ever heard after the studio version of ABB. Big shoes to fill.
You couldn't play a better bass part for this song than this guy did! Guitar was awesome too but the bass was an awesome surprise.
You can see him on the Hendrix Experience Tour...Scott
Thank you 🙏🏼

@@bamagtrdude I know I have seen them in concert on Austin City Limits.
Never gig without a backup.
j@@tylerholloway_gitpikin I got the impression it was all they could do to afford what they had

Just bought his PRS guitar. The best guitar I've ever played!! And, I've played them all.
Just think if you've ever seen, heard or touched a guitar this guy has played it
I bought the DGT core also. Amazing guitar..loving it
Letter perfect..... fantastic thanks for posting
David played a few gigs with the Allman Bros. Band right after Dicky Betts got fired..
Tonight: James wears a hat....Richard wears a hat.....and I (Jeremy Clarkson) wear a hat.... Top Gear chose an awesome song as their introduction music. Great cover/song!
Amen
Awesome! One of my favorites covering one of my favorites!
and another reason Austin is so great.. you're able to see these guy's, or guy's like them, almost any night of the week.
Absolutely awesome! I appreciate all the vids you put up, by the way. Stellar version, and a 4 pc band, no less!

Thanks for this! Very well done!
Love this song. Great performance of it. He did it justice.
I have got to bring my wife and kid to America to see this band.
Scott Nelson on bass, Austin's finest!
BAss player kicks ass.
loved it.. one of my favorites and you absolutely nailed it!!!!!!!
Stellar version! I love it. Thanks for sharing.
Stellar chops & tone....I love my DGT too.
Wow!! Very impressive. So much better than I was expecting
William Banks Shouldn't come as a complete surprise. David subbed for Dickey Betts with the ABB for several weeks in the early 1990s.
TIGHT tight and the ABB would,,,,,,....dig it!!!.
Love those great PRS guitars, mine Is a gem but it wont take the place of my Les Paul. Love all David's stuff... Damn he rings this one out
Beautiful Guitar! Great tone. Love it.
Very nice. This is an amazing composition. Epic. I've been re-working it up the last couple of weeks. Great tune and great playing. The band is tight.

Nice job guys Tidewater Virginia
Bass player is a monster! DG is great too..
love thisbass player
Gracias
Really great version.
Bob, that kicks butt. Nice video work, too.
That was just awesome.
Awesome 👍🙏
Very nice.
Fabulous!
WOOOOW
I think you're right - I zoomed in at 2:39 and I think it says "nord Electro 3". Thanks!
terrific!!!!

Isso é bom....isso é muito bom!
Sim
Wow !
thats a low hangin base.Sounds good .
Awesome
Indeed it was a Nord 3
David's great, but what a rhythm section...
Great Pocket
🤘👁💚 IT 👊💨
DID I hear a "TWIN" guitar in the solo????
Gib Williamson David’s got skills.

It is the keyboard playing the harmonies.
@@HittingImage Hi there, maybe your right, but it sounds exactly like a guitar to me. (While your here, you might as well look at Gib Williamson Nessun Dorma on a PRS) say Hi
They keyboard player is doing all the harmonies on the themes.
Can I ask what keyboard you are using? Thanks!
bass
...Jessica, just as it says it the title.
bass is a bit too loud but a great cover, great
This video has ruined all other covers of this song. I can't watch any others.
yes it is not an easy tune to pull off convincingly. All the parts are fairly easy but it's the making it all work together as one. That rhythm section is doing an amazing job of replacing almost 2 times the number of musicians on the original. Dicky would be proud.
@@jimlabos Exactly. I'm 100% on the same wavelength.
What's the name of this song?
Who’s the bassist..???
Scott Nelson
@@wangbar1 ..cool. Thanks!
the only thing that lets this down is the thud whack thud wack drumming.. with Butch and Jaimoe you dont get that
considering the Allmans had two drummers and percussionist, the dude does a great job
The “dude” is Bryan Austin. He’s a friend, a very cool guy, and a fantastic drummer with all due respect to the perceived thud and whack... just sayin’
Everyone can tell his opinion. Also you can. But better you should Keep it for yourself because this Drummer is doing an excellent Job.
joe22589- I think so too!

Too bad you can’t really hear the keyboard.
I think its a NORD.
Get a Les Paul….quit Freddy Fuckin around with that toy….
I have both. PRS is far from a toy.
