I bought the set of the March 12 - 13 sets at the Fillmore and try to get the young kid's to listen . To them , if it ain't rap or this garbage music that is out today , no interest in it . A damn shame .
Saw it live at Deer creek!Center back pavilion with my brother who has since passed away in January of 2009.The three drummers Solo was fifteen minutes long as I raised my hands in Time at the end! Awesome concert!
Jimmy is one of the greatest guitar players of all time, the way he uses the half whole scale, is unique, killer technique to, never plays a cliche or a fluffed note, sensational sensational!
A year later I'm watching this performance again - and noticing SO much more! The interplay between Derek and Jimmy beginning @6:50 is some of the most impressive examples of live improvisation I've ever witnessed. The way they compliment each other's phrases, almost seeming to complete each other's sentences at times, is simply phenomenal. And I had to look twice towards the end of these magical minutes to check and see - is that Jimmy playing? No, it's Derek sans slide! I've never seen Derek play more Jimmy-like! Stunning! And as I mentioned last year, Butch makes everyone around him sound better. And the dynamics are like waves on the ocean - sometimes soft, sometimes tsunami-like, breaking, retreating, and returning. Perfect!
@@gavriellev9959 And Duane, Berry and Dickey, who was the genius composer of this psychedelic masterpiece. Yes, great musos here, but we must always remember where this music originally came from.
Su moda inigualable, VETERanos de Guerras en el ámbito de Guitarras Llorando sin sentitizador, acordes perfectos en cronometraje largos y cortos; (! Que. Guitarras y sus elementos MEJOR. Que BANDA. Brotherss
Now Butch and Greg are gone. Still bummed about these losses when I think of it. Greg, like Garcia was an epic feature of my musical life. Life is short. Music helps us enjoy it while we're still here, filling precious moments of our existence with a little joy. "Rejoice rejoice, we have no choice but to carry on." I am very thankful for these postings on youtube. Be careful out there, take care of yourselves and your loved ones, and keep the good times comin and goin folks.
I’m 68.. played in a lotta local bands… just about all of my bandmates have passed away… It’s cool..getting old.. having decades of experiences… But make sure you keep your friends with you…🥲👍🏼❤️
my God...here I am on Christmas morning, an old man weeping at that incredible talent(and it once again dawned on me why, in '72 I decided to go to college and not try to earn a living playing the guitar)
I like Warren and he is a guitar warrior. He has an uncanny knack to be able to fit in any style of rock music. This is one of those very few times where he is outclassed by two other guitarists. Derek and Jimmy’s solos are so fluid and on point where Warren always ends up doing his same tricks. Da diddle da diddle da diddle. That same triad lick in different spots on the neck. Oh well. Three great guitarists anyway.
There's so much phenomenal guitar-playing here that Gregg's organ solo at the beginning is overlooked. Gregg is a fantastic organist and his B3 style really adds so much to the huge sound of the ABB over the years!
Hell of a performance! I almost felt bad for Warren for a minute or two there...almost...but he just calmly took it all in, then cut loose with some seriously scorching lead. Warren is never one to disappoint!
A lesser guitar player would have died trying to follow the first two. Spontaneous Ego Death as the result of a mind blowing jam-eurysm. His Rox screen came back positive, He had ingested four times the lethal limit of Tasty Licks and he was definitely under the Influence of experimental Analogues of Shred-amphetamines. I feel bad for this poor hypothetical person i just thought up, he never stood a chance. If only i could have hypothetically thought up some hypothetical treatment that would have hypothetically improved his hypothetical existence
@@billcox199 this song came from a riff Dickey played, if you payed attention, during Whipping Post on the Fillmore East album. He played it so many times that they arranged a song from it. Dickey took credit for it because it was his riff. The end.
A BIG Thing I 💘 LOVE About This Time-Period IGenerally WARREN HAD To Keep His"Chops"At Full. Alert Strength!! WHEN U R SURROUNDED BY OTHER WORLD CLASS ELITES, U BETTER BE READY ESPECIALLY WHEN 'DA BALL IS TOSSED TO YA" & The SPOTLIGHT Is Directly On U!!🎸🎶🚀🚀
That was incendiary, all across that stage, jeez those Beacon shows were legendary .. Oh to have been there once.. I saw dozens of Allman Brother concerts from the 70's and up but man oh man you know this should have been on my bucket list.. ABB forever!!!
I was always disappointed that we never got to hear Duane play this tune. I think it would have become one of the Allmans trademark extended jams, but then I wonder if Dicky would have written it if fate hadn't intervened. RIP Duane, Gregg, Dicky, Berry, & Butch & wishing a long life & many thanks to Jaimo.
Amazing music. Totally connected. Just adds up the salt not having it's savor. I will always jamm and play this music, but it makes me sad to see the real truth never came alive.
at about the 8:30 mark that Santa guy in the plaid shirt starts ripping off a solo the likes of which has never been heard before on an ABB stage, he sounds like John Mclaughlin in his early Mahavishnu days, absolutely smokin'. Actually I have to go listen to Inner Mounting Flame right now.
Jimmy Herring is the guitarist and funny you say that because he's now touring/playing with...John McLaughlin doing old Mahavishnu tracks! They just released a live stream video fo the concert a few days ago that goes for 3hours+. Absolute killer stuff! ;)
Just saw Jimmy with John Mclaughlin...I'd never heard of him...now I'm researching his whole catalog...And the Allman brothers have always been a love....sooo
You sound like a complete fool calling Herring “that Santa guy.” Yes, McLaughlin is a top tier jazz guitarist, especially in his 70’s prime, but Jimmy filled in for Dickey Betts, Jerry Garcia and Mikey Houser. Herring is the “hired gun” GOAT. At least call him “The White Wizard.” Better yet, take your ass to a Widespread Panic show and watch him play those long nasty solos. Guy is almost Trey Anastasio level.
Y'all talk about Derek and Jimmy, and they set the ending up perfect, but see who finishes it off by knocking it right out of the park ....right ? Warren is a gun man...BANG BABY!!!
I was fortunate to be at this show, which had a lot of other amazing talents as well: Bernard Purty, Jerry Jemott, Ron Holloway, Susan Tedeschi, Thom Doucette
I grew up with Jimmy Herring. He and my younger brother Charlie used to sit around and play guitar together..and party..lol..:-) His Dad was the Judge in our town..Good memories..!
Just my .02, but the Herring/Trucks combo during the summer of 2000 was as hot as the band's ever been. Those guys really click together. (I MIGHT be a bit biased since Jimmy Herring's from my hometown.)
I met Butch and Jaimo at a drum contest back in 68. They were the best drum squad in Georgia. It was real strange to see two white and black guys as friends back then. They had their groove already. Super Cool.
Superb. The theme sounds like the music for a Japanese spy movie. Plus, the bass line is totally bad ass. But, as usual, Gregg's B3 is never loud enough.
Jimmy is a much better guitar player than 99% of the others out there. Derek, of course, has THE best phrasing, slide or no slide. Warren has more tricks in his bag than many. But the most underrated drummer in the biz was Butch Trucks. He listened SO closely and followed whoever is playing lead. Makes them sound better. Few others have done this so well. Keith Moon is the only one I can think of off the top of my head. And some mighty fine B3 work here by Greg. He's much better sober.
Had ticket to see them when Duane died they cancelled bummer. My mum later threw my ticket out as it was out of date along with a Zappa ticket godbless her 😢
Jimmy and Derek have a serious connection - sometimes I think better than Derek with Haynes. They are a little more jazz infused experimental. Love Jimmy.
