The Allman Brothers Band w/ Eric Clapton - 3/20/2009 - Beacon - Complete Footage 

Great to see new comments.

Blessed 😊

@@donwoodard2204 Awesome to see people still rocking.🏝

3 times, once with duane 😎

When I tell you that you suck, I mean that with respect-got to see them 49 times-I can only wish. So happy you had that experience.

Well, well, well, that was pretty good! Three outstanding guitarists and a rock steady rhythm section, and Gregg.

Luckily not all American men did what Gregg did...

​....and many wish they had.

AMEN

Wow I'm Blessed to see them several times over the years. What I would give to see them again. Watching this still gives me CHILLS down to my core !! I had a really cool uncle that was only seven years older than me and started me on the live concerts experiences when I was just 13. Then I started dating my forever husband when I was 16 and we have continued the concert journey ever since and I'm now 59 and he is 60. Yes long marriages still exist.We still continue our concert journey, what is left of it. We never had kids so we never had any distractions to see the best of the best at any given time. We just caught the Eagles with The Doobie Brothers again. Highly recommend that show. I live in a log home with towering ceilings. One of the best things I did was install terrific speakers that will make the windows vibrate.Good thing I live in a rural area when I have the windows raised ,lol ! It's a miracle we still both have good hearing 😅

And serve their Dish

Well said!

Great comment!

Oh hell yeah 😅

He was Ray Charles in another color. R.I.P

It does make you wonder what they're doing now, far and away in another reality.

Janis could

@@tagaudi He said "man", not "wo-man". As good as she was, she can't be lumped in with Gregg, Ray, or even Bill Medley. Or Bobby Bland. Apples and oranges. Sorry

@@markcorley Gregg was a musician and a crazy good one Janis was cool but she was a singer Gregg could do it all

It's pretty cool. Love the pictures of Duane fishing and smiling.

@Michael Kean Ask mommy for hot pocket woke loser. I don't usually insult someone but why even write that? So sad

I was at this show. Clapton played two nights. If you listen to both, you will observe that he practiced after the first. This was the result.

...remember that summer when we saw him with Gvt. Mule, ABB and Phil...and then his iconic solo set from Bonnaroo??? Legend indeed, hardest working bloke in the biz

Thanks for the answer to my question, Derek is he an Allman?

@@jeffmcelroy5168- Derek is Butch Trucks son. Butch was one of the original drummers for the band!

@@jongray4828 Derek is not Butch's son. He is Butch's nephew.

Derick's father is Chris Trucks

💗 💖 💘 💝 💟 ☮️

Joy T. Pulver: Beautiful verbiage. You placed this video into perspective. Thank You and God bless

One of them is Bobby Whitlock

Yeah, well 99.9999...% are...

They probably thought it was the Jonas Brothers, with Eric Church..

Shut up scooty!

Your so right..Thats a fact..I wish we could have saw Eric Clapton and Dickey play together though..also..

@@imayjustlooklikearetardfor8306 After 2 years I just saw this,, that's how important it was,, who pissed in your cornflakes ?

I would respectively submit that the Tedeschi Trucks Band is keeping the candle lit.

@@imayjustlooklikearetardfor8306 what rock did you crawl out from under..

Skipper is a great venue. Derick is awesome

@@michaellewis3254 ..indeed, Derrick is so cool.

Daniel - I believe I was at that gig as well! I was there for Buddy Guy, who never fails to amaze, and I was blown away by the little blond-haired kid! I'm thinking this was in the 1990 - 1992ish timeframe?

@@sheckyvision That time frame sounds correct. I was there for Buddy as well he’s a legend. I was skeptical when that little boy came out to open for him but he and his band won everyone over . I was surprised and delighted to hear a young slide guitarist play at the caliber he displayed at 13 years old , Buddy was too.

@@discovan4436 I heard that Skippers is going to reopen in some manner. I never hear anyone say a negative thing about Skippers only fond memories of great concerts.

Sounds like me when I get DRUNK at wedding's 😂😂

Lucky man

@@bcpiet60 If you think that the Layla album was his first big album, you either missed some fine work he did with The Yardbirds (1963-65), John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers (1965-1966), Cream (1966-1968) and Blind Faith (1968-1969) before he recorded that album, or your musical tastes are somewhat limited.

My first time watching this video too on the 4th of July... great artists

Depression alcoholism and taxes is a horrible thing and Butch couldn't deal with it

​@@garyordo886It may be a morbid thought on my part, but there have been many a good blues songs written about all three of these conditions, sometimes individually, and sadly at others simultaneously. One about the tragic losses endured by the Allman brothers band over the years would be a fitting tribute to the fallen, and possibly a cathartic one for those left behind. There may have already been one written and I just haven't heard it yet, but if not, there should be. Peace, love, and eternal good will to all who read this. 🍑☮✌

Disagree. One dementional. Blues.....his slowhand nonsense was horrific. Great at Rock / Blues....but hes no improv guy.Jeff Beck Jimmy Page Frank Zappa could master ANY GENRE. BLUES ROCK JAZZ FUSION METAL ...ANYTHING. TO ME ERIC CLAPTON IS LIMITED . YOULL NEVER SEE HIM USE A CELLO BOW OR A WHAMMY BAR

@@peterbartolomeo956 I didn't mention anything about improvisation, but still, how a guitar player that NEVER plays the same solo twice isn't an improv. Clapton won't use a whammy bar because he uses his left hand for that, not needed. I disagree completely with your opinion, and it seems to me that you just like a showman instead of a guitar player.

I love Eric Clapton alone, but he doesn't mesh well with but a few other players. He has become comfortable playing solo, and can come off as a bit of a stage hog. They're all giants, and they were all hot on this night! Great show!

@@davidmccall4776 You sure about that? I mean, he plays (or had played) with tons of different players and I wouldn’t say that, remember there’s Crossroads festival. In my opinion, his versatility is one of the things he’s praised of the most. He can fit in almost any genre with any band.

@@matiasneuweiler662 Check out "Right place Wrong time" with Dr John for an example of what I'm talking about. I'm not taking anything away from Eric, he's the absolute best at what he does, I just prefer his solo gigs over those with other guitarists, especially if they're from predominantly non blues based genres. ☮✌

He said later, that this was the most inspering experience of his life, true. And so he played.

@@philfrank9226 ..you know, Eric really does enjoy seeing the guys who learned from his techniques come into their own. That's a true mentor and friend.

A brother from another turned me on to these fine musicians many years ago in the mid 70's, it's been a thrill ride on them ,till my dying days I will cherish their music.

That would be the Grateful Dead but the Allmans are a top 5 live act of all time for sure.

firsttime

incredible freakingamazing

BEST EVER

Yea should have seen Duane Allman playing

@@richarde.burnett6843 A DREAM IMPOSSIBLE TO COME TRUE

@@MaurizioCostacurta Go away now

THANKS

@@richarde.burnett6843 WHY ARE SAYING SO?

My husband and I went to see Clapton one time and I didn't even know who Derek was, but I swear to God when he played, I thought my panties were going to fall off!

@@diannekrogers LOVE DEREK!!

First time I saw Derek was with ABB, we thought he was Greg's kid or something!

@@wendylucka2397 Pretty close - he's the nephew of Butch Trucks, the Allman Brothers original drummer, so he grew up around this stuff! (I've only just started to watch this but he is most likely the drummer here.)

​@@StuartPeelThat would be the late Butch Trucks on drums. RIP Butch, Gregg Allman, and Duane Allman, you're all sincerely missed! 🍑☮✌

Concert videos have never really been a thing, been a few mainstream exceptions like Stop Making Sense or The Last Waltz, just usually not something most people budget into their day.

Wait a bit

Pomp

It's certainly a better quality recording than the vast majority of studio recordings that you'll ever hear. Outstanding! 🍑☮✌

yo just young

Mr. Bud Peterson, you've seen some of the best & I'm envious. In 1970 I was too young to see that concert. I'm from not far south of Raleigh, but a little closer to Wilmington. I only turned 16 in Sept. of 70 so the parents wouldn't let me go. By the time I got to see The Allman Brothers (1972) sadly, Duane was gone. Don't know if you remember but the song "Layla" was released that same year (1970). I've been crazy over music since the Beatles & Ed Sullivan. So when the Layla album came out I was just gone. Every song, "I Looked Away", Thorn Tree in the Garden", "Layla", all of them were phenomenal to me. From that time forward I have been enamored of Eric Clapton. I've been to see him every time he was within 200 miles. I thought the term "Clapton is GOD" was blasphemous but truly believed he was the penultimate of the guitar...even though every time I saw him live, the songs from that album just didn't sound quite the same. I put the difference down to it being a live performance, small change ups, not being in a sound studio, whatever. Anyway, a year or so ago, someone on youtube posted a breakdown of the song "Layla". In other words, in this video you get to hear Clapton's guitar & nothing but, then Duane's guitar & nothing but. I was so blown away. Everything I had loved, everything I had believed to be Eric....was not Eric at all. Don't get me wrong, I still love his music & think he is one of the greatest guitarists ever. But since I heard that video, I've paid a lot closer attention to Duane's playing & I have to agree with you. Duane Allman had a way of making the most beautiful sounds come out of a guitar. His abilities with that instrument are unsurpassed. I could listen to him play for hours on end with no accompaniment whatsoever. It is absolute beauty to my ears.

Yes, indeed. Beautiful.

Eric Clapton came to America for the money. Butt the BBC. Is quite a few blues players. Like Savory Brown.., Alvin lee.... .my thoughts go to Eric as a Stretch he gave us more like BB. King to stay and play p On Pandora has an education on arts. So take the alzheimer's on a trip ..find the era. The patient knows it's cool to see the reaction. When the music can shake them awake.. The patient has to know you. But it was so cool. They were asking for song. Ray Charles + Willie Nelson.. song name is . Seven angle's.
