The Allman Brothers and Gregg Allman in particular have been my absolute favorite, nobody else even comes close, musicians since seeing them in the early 70's opening the new Capital Center in Largo Maryland. They out lasted this building by the way it's been torn down. I wasn't aware of Gregg's transplant and I am very happy that it worked out so well. Thanks God, for an incredible band that made my life much more enjoyable and for so many songs that bring me back to where it all began.
Right on! My 1st Wannee aftr getting of probation on Jan 4th, 2011 Ahhhh! Boomers in my head, hippie chick by my side, the Bros on stage, and all my friends there left to run with anymore!!!! Thnx 4 the mems!!! Live Oak all over the plaCe and Drippin Trippin Spanish Moss all in my faCe!
Hell, great show, wish I could have been there to see a great icon before his passing! For everyone saying it doesn't sound like the original, I guess they never went to a LIVE concert and They have been singing this for 30+ years! Love it!
you hit the nail on the head with you comments regarding Derek, and Warren, anyone that can sit and watch this video that cant see that has a pre programmed idealism about the subject, and as far as the sound,.... it was much better standing 30 feet in front of the stage rather than watching it on youtube, trust me I was there at this show, and the next 2 after it. (wanne 12 & 13)
Hey, I'm not taking away from anyone. They're all great. Just saying I agree that Derek is among the greatest that ever played. Also, why are you replying to me? I just agreed with the comment made by CMPCKEllY. Derek is phenomenal. Dickey and Warren and Duane would all agree with that, I'm sure.
I've seen (live in concert) Bett's lead the band after Duane was killed and Derek Trucks lead the band when Warren was having contract issues and didn't show up. No comparison! Don't get me wrong Derek is very good. Betts unfortunately has let alcohol destroy his reputation and ability to produce more music among other things. I still love Dickey Betts. It's really sad what has happened to him.
@upupandawaayyyyyyyy i really think he's one of the most soulful and wanderful players. doesnt matter his face expression, nevermind where he comes from, hes a great player no matter what :D
@upupandawaayyyyyyyy ok check these ones out: "Desdemona" - Derek Trucks Guitar Solo Derek Trucks Band - Sahib Teri Bandi he sounds really awesome in those videos. and he does in every single performance, but this one here, wich was kind of sloppy, i dont know why.
@keo774 maybe I've just seen him when he's off? send me a link to a favorite performance of yours, so I can see what you're talking about. It's not about his face either, he always seems timid to me. some artists bring it and hold their own, he lacks that type of confidence to me, and again, I see the correlation with his playing. That's my point of view, that's all. I just haven't heard him really connect. On the other hand, almost every phrase Warren plays is spot on in every way in my opinion
yep your right, no drunk on stage missing parts and screwing up the band..... yup glad he is gone. Fickey was great but he needs to learn to put the bottle down for a bit. It was really effecting his playing for the worse.
You're out of line dude. Derek is very good but has not accomplished anything close to the Betts compositions of Elizabeth Reed, Blue Sky, Jessica, among others. Betts is is on a bad path wrapped up in alcohol addiction and feel for the guy. I love Dickey Betts! I just wish he could come out it. It's very sad, but I will always support the guy. He's a great musician and composer that fell into the river of demons that comes with fame and money.
BJ, I'll put it to you like this. The assumption was put out around 2000 that Dickey was so out of it to where he needed to take some time off. That dead horse was beat the entire time this latter lineup played. That horse was beat the same way Donald Trump's Russia, Russia, Russia stuff has been beat. Just because people REPEAT crap over and over doesn't mean it is always so TRUE. You could never mention Dickey during the Derek/Warren tenure without him being labeled as a has been, an addict. And now look who is ALMOST the LAST MAN STANDING. Dickey is OLDER than anyone in the band and if he was such a WRETCHED alcoholic then how is it that he is STILL with us? And if the Trump administration was working with RUSSIA, where's the proof? Is it all in the TAPES as Gregg said. Do we need to listen to the audios of the ABB and if Trump has tapes of Comey and himself talking, do we need to listen to those tapes. There is a difference between REAL TRUTH and what people WANT or NEED to believe. Sometimes only TIME WILL TELL. Gregg got a PASS for his alcoholism and drug addiction. Dickey got jammed by a newly sober Gregg Allman and band probably because Dickey's lifestyle might cause Gregg to RELAPSE. But Gregg is DEAD and GONE now. Dickey is still here and that MEANS something. Gregg's family, or at least his mother, showed good genes and LONGEVITY as she lived on into her nineties. Gregg should have lived a lot longer. Why is it that Dickey is doing so WELL while Gregg is dead and gone? And if Butch Trucks was such a level headed guy then how come he put a bullet in his own brain? It looks like Butch must have had a dark side to me. But you don't hear so much about that but actually Butch's BS was mocked quite often on the ABB website but only people who frequented the site would know this. So while I KNOW DICKEY has had PROBLEMS over the last 17 years with ALCOHOL, he is STILL here and he must be doing SOMETHING right or he'd be quite sick or frail now. DIckey looked pretty good in photos I saw of him in Macon, GA at the funeral. So just don't BELIEVE all the HYPE about Dickey's ADDICTION. And don't believe all the COLLUSION hype of Trump and Russian. It is CLEAR that Russia preferred Trump to Clinton, but then so did the American people. Russia merely EXPOSED the Democratic Party for what it was. Vladamir Putin always butted heads with war mongering Hillary Clinton. Trump is merely along for the ride here. He's more of a pawn of Russia than a COLLUDER. Trump doesn't even know how to BE the president let alone SIDE with RUSSIA to steal an election. And if you don't appreciate this analogy or comparison it's just how I feel. I got sick of the crap said about Dickey while Gregg got a pass for his addiction. I get sick of what is said about Trump while Hillary and her husband too usually got a pass. The MEDIA can build ANYTHING into some TREMENDOUS ISSUE if they want too, whether is it a band website of COLLUDING CORPORATE NEWS NETWORKS, CNN/MSNBC/CBS/ABC/NBC/New York Times/Washington Post, etc.
@keo774 , that's sad... the truth is he is rock aristocracy by birth. he can play, but he lacks the soul of an artist who climbed the ranks on his own, rather he's had preposterous opportunity handed to him on a silver soon. he's always seemed really shy, and it comes through in his playing. he's got chops, but he rarely connects for me. skills and soul are not one in the same. and seriously, what's up with that first solo. if this were basketball, that would have been an embarrassing air ball..
Rest in Peace Gregg Allman. That said, the intro into this song sounded like nothing but a bunch of noodling. Warren and Derek and Oteil all seemed to be just riffing away. There WAS an intro that used to be played into that song. I am merely saying that Dickey's absence is sorely missed in places like this. With all that riffing going on Gregg didn't seem to know when to come it. When he came in Gregg ALSO sounded like he was doing his OWN THING. Jesus, and someone linked this to the ABB website to show the outro, the end of the song, some jam thing they were doing. For me, the introduction was so bad and so feeble to where the song really would NEED something to REDEEM it from such a bad beginning. Dickey was methodical and new how to start if not always how to end a song. I'm just saying the beginning of this song here was a train wreck. When Gregg came in he seemed to have to be bop along vocally to the confusion. And I say this with respect to Gregg, Warren, Derek and Oteil. The intro was bad. Just my two cents. I think Gregg sounded rather foolish in the mix of guitars at the beginning of the song. This is just to say this lineup had it's weaknesses.
All I said is much better versions exist. I luv this tune but this version is well, not the best. Well maybe I was a bit harsh. Still I stand by my assessment.
In my opinion and I have seen the brothers I’m going way back to the early 70s 80s 90s 2000s on and on this version of this song nobody left to run with was a very bad performance. Greg could barely hit the note no Jaimoe
look this is bullshit, about once a mo, somebody has to be straightened out on things ,All these guys are acomplished to where they can do a gig without fuckin up , Each to his own and one is not the other , as a player most people have something to offer,(unless theyre totally useless) in wich they wouldnt be playing in the first place , and its a wonder betts ,allman and trucks are still here !
This is the truth a good friend just died. Now there’s no one left to run with anymore.
Amen
Sorry for your loss.
The Allman Brothers and Gregg Allman in particular have been my absolute favorite, nobody else even comes close, musicians since seeing them in the early 70's opening the new Capital Center in Largo Maryland.

Warren Haynes is a great musician! The consummate band guy sings great, lead, slide and harmonies! He is human jukebox! That is why he is in demand.
Right on!
My 1st Wannee aftr getting of probation on Jan 4th, 2011
Ahhhh! Boomers in my head, hippie chick by my side, the Bros on stage, and all my friends there left to run with anymore!!!!
Thnx 4 the mems!!!
Live Oak all over the plaCe and Drippin Trippin Spanish Moss all in my faCe!
Hell, great show, wish I could have been there to see a great icon before his passing! For everyone saying it doesn't sound like the original, I guess they never went to a LIVE concert and They have been singing this for 30+ years! Love it!
One of the best songs that you ever did
you hit the nail on the head with you comments regarding Derek, and Warren, anyone that can sit and watch this video that cant see that has a pre programmed idealism about the subject, and as far as the sound,.... it was much better standing 30 feet in front of the stage rather than watching it on youtube, trust me I was there at this show, and the next 2 after it. (wanne 12 & 13)
Always sounds amazing! One of my go to video's!
Those were some wild and crazy days
Thanks for posting these...maybe I'll finally get over to Wanee this year.
Hey, I'm not taking away from anyone. They're all great. Just saying I agree that Derek is among the greatest that ever played. Also, why are you replying to me? I just agreed with the comment made by CMPCKEllY. Derek is phenomenal. Dickey and Warren and Duane would all agree with that, I'm sure.
stunning
Jamo filling in For Jaimoe I LOVE IT!!

I agree!
RIP Greg, Best Music Ever...
Carry the flame... don't let it go out. EVER. \m/
RIP Gregg Allman
Yea it shows.... the band isn't struggling anymore. Way better players there now. Dickey had his days here... and he blew it, so long.
My theme song.
My song the best
I guess we can all agree that much thanks have to go to Bo Diddly for this great song.
I agree
5:35 Warren, "Fire us off" Derek "smiles"
I've seen (live in concert) Bett's lead the band after Duane was killed and Derek Trucks lead the band when Warren was having contract issues and didn't show up. No comparison! Don't get me wrong Derek is very good. Betts unfortunately has let alcohol destroy his reputation and ability to produce more music among other things. I still love Dickey Betts. It's really sad what has happened to him.
The all man brothers,Leonard sky hard, the dobbie brothers, and c.c.r. are southern rock bands from the 70s
?? The point ??
CCR was from California.
Never heard of any of those bands...
@upupandawaayyyyyyyy i really think he's one of the most soulful and wanderful players. doesnt matter his face expression, nevermind where he comes from, hes a great player no matter what :D
@upupandawaayyyyyyyy ok check these ones out:
"Desdemona" - Derek Trucks Guitar Solo
Derek Trucks Band - Sahib Teri Bandi
he sounds really awesome in those videos. and he does in every single performance, but this one here, wich was kind of sloppy, i dont know why.
derek is not only the better player in the band and better than dickey, but i would argue hes the best in the world right now
A nice long jam from the 5:30 mark.
DICKY BETTS IS NOT THERE & IT REALLY SHOWS !
@keo774 maybe I've just seen him when he's off? send me a link to a favorite performance of yours, so I can see what you're talking about. It's not about his face either, he always seems timid to me. some artists bring it and hold their own, he lacks that type of confidence to me, and again, I see the correlation with his playing.

LOVE derrick, susan and the band but what's up?
@batgwanno Seems people will complai about anything these days. I agree withyo man we all need to chill a bit.
\
Derek is the best - no doubt!
I didnt say he was a better composer, I said he was a better player
is it just me or is jaimoe not there?
can he sing blue skies?
Something was definitely fucked up with his rig, doesn't even sound like his usual sound with the allman brothers
Where's Jaimoe?
ouch
I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT NOW , OR HIS DRINKING ! LIKE IT DON'T HAPPEN WITH OTHERS?
@dostfez I thought it was pretty good
is it just me, or is Derek Trucks morphing into Gregg? Especially since Derek grew a beard
JAIMO VAN BOGERT ON SKINS!!!
really.......
which member was he dating?
Without Dickie it’s not Allmans
yep your right, no drunk on stage missing parts and screwing up the band..... yup glad he is gone. Fickey was great but he needs to learn to put the bottle down for a bit. It was really effecting his playing for the worse.

Dickey is a massive sick drunk. Greg Sobered up.
@upupandawaayyyyyyyy this version is not the best, of course, but actually derek is a great guitarist. maybe the best young guitarist out there.

Looked to me Gregg came in when he was handed the lyrics sheet...Lol
All I said is much better versions exist. I luv this tune but this version is well, not the best. Well maybe I was a bit harsh. Still I stand by my assessment.
This is definitely not their best version of this song.
In my opinion and I have seen the brothers I’m going way back to the early 70s 80s 90s 2000s on and on this version of this song nobody left to run with was a very bad performance. Greg could barely hit the note no Jaimoe
Im sure W. Haynes is a good dude, just not sure why he gets so many good gigs...
is this a joke? he's an amazing singer songwriter and guitar player..why the fuck wouldn't he get amazing gigs..
look this is bullshit, about once a mo, somebody has to be straightened out on things ,All these guys are acomplished to where they can do a gig without fuckin up , Each to his own and one is not the other , as a player most people have something to offer,(unless theyre totally useless) in wich they wouldnt be playing in the first place , and its a wonder betts ,allman and trucks are still here !
What a rough out of tune start. Yikes...
Who cares if he's an asshole?
Dickey's got more talent in one hand than Derek has in his entire body. Plus, Dickey can actually play slide correctly.
HALF WIT.......
Hahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaahhahaahhahahaha
That was a little harsh. But I have to agree. Derek has the most annoying slide guitar style I have ever heard.
