Polo, hearing Chris's cover of James Brown's It's A Man's World will send you out of this world. To quote one of my favorite reactors "He takes a great song and makes another great song."
Oh Polo, if u havent heard this one yet...w😲w! Its Chris doing an impromptu performance of this James Brown song at a Shadowboxers concert he was attending. They asked him to come on stage & sing one with them (no rehearsal)...the rest is history 🤯 "It's a Man's World" ❤️🔥
The feeling he puts into every performance is the thing that sets him apart. I have not seen him miss on covers, collaborations or original material. Such a class act every time. Chris does an outstanding cover of Al Green's "I'm a Ram", you really need to give that a listen.
Dang, this is a great cover. If I had been Chris, I don't know if I could sing it with the writer sitting right in front of me, let alone get a standing ovation from him! RIP, Gregg.
Chris is the man, and I appreciate this fantastic performance. He more than does the song justice. I live in a world where I don’t have to choose between two great performances. The live at Fillmore East is easily in the top 5 live performances I’ve ever heard in my 66 years. Duane giving him a standing O is all you need to know about Chris Stapleton’s cover of the AB classic. ❤🔥🔥
I told my son that I wanted to go to a Chris concert for my birthday and I’m going! Dallas Oct 23! I’m so ready for my BDay! I’m ready Chris! ❤❤❤❤❤ ❤❤❤
Chris Stapleton is always great to listen to. Keep going down the rabbit hole that is Chris Stapleton. The staple of reactors usually do Tennessee Whiskey, Starting Over, Cold, I Was Wrong, Fire Away and Death Row. All of which are great songs to react to. All show his run capabilities. He has a treasure trove of wonderful songs beyond those songs. Check out: I Ain't Living Long Like This (live) ((it's a remake of a Waylon Jennings song)) Daddy Doesn't Pray Anymore Maggie's Song Whiskey and You Whiskey Sunrise Just a few to give you a taste of Chris Stapleton.
Wow. I finally decided to check out Chris Stapleton, there's been such talk around him lately, at least on the reactor level. Now I see why and I don't know why I was resisting, as I love good country and a strong gritty voice. He did an awesome job covering Whipping Post, which is what finally drew me in to check him out, as The Allman Brother's Whipping Post is a decades long favorite of mine. But I definitely need to check out more by Chris now. The live version of the Allman Brother's Whipping Post you need to check out would be at the Fillmore East. I also need to compare the two myself because Chris Stapleton, well, the whole band actually, was absolute 🔥🔥🔥, I was really surprised and impressed.
Santana feat Chris Stapleton - Joy, can't imagine you won't enjoy. Another great Chris one is I was wrong. He also covered Metallica's nothing else matters, worth a listen
Polo, if you havent heard this one (Sometimes I Cry) live from the Bing Lounge. Prob my favorite original of Chris's...jaw dropping vocal performance 🤯❤️🔥 Just a man & his guitar. Dude. Wow.
Think this is a band put together for this tribute event to the Allman Brothers. (Not Stapleton's band). Think several different artists performed. Noticed members of Little Big Town in audience. Greg Allman is in the audience. He is shown at the very end of the clip applauding and acknowledging the performance. (Blond guy with ponytail 😊).
The best of the best of musicians on that stage with Chris Stapleton. Cool that Gregg Allman stood up for standing ovation. Not to mention all the artist in the audience. Gregg’s version was a lot of years ago. Today new equipment that gives a better sound and production so it would be hard to say what’s better
I think it has something to do with age. I grew up at the time of the Allman Brothers. So, even though this cover is nothing short of tremendous, it can not replace the original in my heart.
If you haven't seen his live version of Its a Mans World. The one where he is in a club. Yeah Chris can sing anything and hes better live than in a studio. Great Reaction ❤❤❤
I’ve listened to the Allman brothers version my whole life, so this version is a little different. Both are absolutely awesome. I’d have to lean towards the original if I had to choose one, but that’s what I’ve heard my whole life. Another great cover by Chris is James Brown “It’s a Man’s World “. I don’t think that one was even planned. I heard he was just at the show and they brought him on stage. Anyway, great reaction, great song! Keep it up!
Thing about Chris that puts him head and shoulders above anyone on a Cover is he puts his own style on it WITHOUT trying to make it sound like the OG. WITHOUT ever taking away the SOUL.
Chris is absolutely Amazing. Hey the Home Free covering End of the Road and I think you would like Brook Benton singing Rainy Nights in Georgia. I don't believe there is a video of him but there is audio, and he is outstanding. I love your eclectic tastes. Thanks.
BMFS!!!❤️🔥 @Polo, "Dust in a Baggie" is a good one to start with. It was my introduction to Billy Strings-He's sitting on a couch playing for friends before he got famous. It gives u a great idea of his guitar picking skills & what's to come. The second one into the rabbit hole I'd recommend is "Turmoil & Tinfoil" live version. Next, enjoy the ride! ❤
The guy with the bald head on lead guitar with sunglasses was Joe Satriani i believe! (A GUITAR GOD & Virtuoso from the 80s! Hes chilled and backs a lot of people now including Orianthi!) Im pretty sure im right as Hes a Legend but just chills now and used to have ling curly hair and then went total shaved bald head. If its not him thenbthe guy is a VERY WELL KNOWN session Musician, but I think its Joe.. 🎸🏴🇬🇧
The look on your face was fun to watch. You were seriously concentrating on every single note being played. This is the first time I've heard this version as well, superb!! Sometimes an artist will cover a song and simply take it to another level. Artists like Johnny Cash - Hurt (Nine Inch Nails) or Harry Nilsson - Without You (Badfinger). Definitely Check out the Harry Nilsson song!
Polo u want an Allman Brothers tune that will make u happy and mellow every time u hear it for the next 20 years “Blue Sky” one of my top 10 songs of all time
You asked a while back for suggestions of Country Music; here's my suggestions (Its a long list, but it will take you through country's history and hit lots of the biggest country songs): Waylon & Willie 'Mamas Don't Let Your Baby's Grow Up To Be Cowboys' Hank Williams 'I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry', 'Your Cheating Heart' Townes Van zant 'Pancho And Lefty' Jimmie Rodgers 'Blue Yodel #9' Roger Miller 'King of the Road' Marty Robbins 'El Paso' Alabama "Mountain Music' The Carter Family 'Can the Circle be Unbroken' Glen Campbell 'Gentle on my Mind' Porter Wagoner 'A Satisfied Mind' Lefty Frizzell "If You've Got the Money, I've got the Time' Kenny Rogers 'The Gambler' John Denver 'Country Roads', 'Rocky Mountain High', 'Leaving On A Jet Plane' Alison Kraus 'Whiskey Lullaby' Rascal Flatts 'Bless the Broken Road' Alan Jackson ' Amarillo By Morning' George Jones 'He Stopped Loving Her Today' Bill Monroe "Blue Moon of Kentucky' Johnny Paycheck 'Take this Job and Shove It' Merle Haggard 'Mama Tried' Willie Nelson 'Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain' 'On the Road Again' 'Angel Flying Too Close' The Highwaymen - pretty much anything :) Johnny Cash 'I Wear the Black' 'Ragged Ol Flag' Randy travis - again anything, but my favorites are 'He Walked On Water' and 'Horse Called Music' The Judds 'Rhythm of the Rain' and 'Grampa Tell Me Bout...'
The part you missed was at the very end as everyone was clapping. Greg Allman was sitting in the front row. You'll see him standing at the very end of this video. Hey, it had to be good when there playing for the original artist.
The Allmans are a much better band than these guys. The groove on the original (the Fillmore East version) is much more sophisticated than this. But Chris sounds great, as usual.
Both this and the studio version are awesome. There are live versions by the Allman Brothers Band. I liked them all better than the studio version. Maybe because I love live music performances.
I love Chris but I need Gregg Allmans voice..he did a great job but The Brothers did it on their 1st album a mere 19 yrs old and the live Fillmore East is killer..love that Gregg was there and gave it a standing ovation! Great music from 2 great artists 👍✌️
wow! been a long time for me on utube. you pulled this out your a$$. 👏👏👏👏you get a chance, listen to the allman bros live at the Fillmore East. remember the technology then. many consider it the best live album all time. thanks bro👏👏👏
THIS 66 YEAR OLD MUSIC LOVER CAN ONLY CONFIRM THE FACT THAT CHRIS STAPLETON CAN COVER ANYONE & EVERYBODY THAT HAVE RECORDED MUSIC FROM ANY GENRE IN MY LIFETIME & DO IT LIVE AS GOOD OR BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL STUDIO RECORDING. PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Check out Tedeschi Trucks Band.. Midnight in Harlem live on E Town RU-vid.. Derek Trucks is one of the BEST slide guitarist. Also directly tied to the Allman Brothers Band.. Susan's soulful singing is beautiful as well..🤘
Don't know if you've done it, but the SNL performance of Sturgill Simpson singing Call to Arms is legendary... arguably the greatest SNL performance ever...you seem to love these live videos😊
Chris was also part of a band out of Nashville if I remember correctly but he was lead singer of The Jompson Bros. Hope I spelled it right lol but they did some music in the series Sons of Anarchy btw my fav series ever lol
I am 62 years “young” and a huge Allman Brothers fan, I saw them 4 times. Once in Lincoln Center, NYC! This is the VERY best tribute to Greg and Duane Allman. Duane Allman was considered one of the very best guitarists out there before his untimely death! Chris Stapleton,to me, is NOT a Country artist.
Ok, ok, ok so in my humble opinion the original version of any song will always be #1 with me however I can admit that some covers of some songs are better. Some covers stick as close to the original as possible others are morphed into something new either way can be great and thanks for mentioning my girl Sade, that is some baby makin music right there.
