The third of 3 songs in a row that Warren Haynes sat in on at Jones Beach Theater Wantagh, NY on 7-19-23. It was truly amazing!! Did my best videoing all three in a very crowded pit!
Ok I've seen Warren Hayes live many times, in many guest appearances' including w/ DMB but the first few minutes of this he really looks dumbfounded and playing catch up (if he is playing at all). The whole band led him into the truly epic thing that developed. Never seen Warren not knowing where he fit in but this why I love this music, progression, evolution how ever categorized it's plain and simple just fucking good.
When he finally caught up to the song, he was killing it. But it only lasted for like 2 mins at most. The same thing happened when he came out for tripping billies at the garden. Felt like he had no idea where in the song he was supposed to be.
Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to watching Warren play with DMB at Central Park. Some of the best live performances I've ever seen. Cortez the Killer might be the best version ever
Poor Warren is totally lost on the song for the first 7 minutes - just keeps smiling with that bewildered smile- I've never seen that before. Ha it shows even amazing guitarists have limits like everyone else. Dave must have seen that because they transition to include him in the last 10 minutes.
