[@Jim-p7c]

I would have given my left to see this concert, what talent my opinion best in my life time

[@mickjh55]

Waren Haze is awesome

[@misterb1496]

The Layla guitar and piano solo was just on point, so good! Awesome set overall!

[@robertglancy4474]

Noboby left to run with anymore, Jaimoe is all that's left....RIP ABB

[@mickjh55]

Jaimoe is playing in my friend's band sometimes

[@larryfisher]

Clapton's a badass,people he fits right n perfectly with Brothers makes them shine more than they already did😊

[@EricUnderwood-ic5jv]

Yup! Would of loved to see this show.... Caught Gregg in Mountain view Ca 1989. Peace... times sure have changed... Eric Underwood class of 81 Downey High School California USA

[@sandmanCQB8541]

I used to get tickets for at least ten nights of their "Spring Residence" at The Beacon. Happened to get lucky enough to score front row, stage left. Usually I tried to get seats on Gregg's side, but I had heard some rumors that there was gonna be something special happening since it was their 40th anniversary. Hearing Warren Haynes say "Will y'all please welcome to the stage, Mr Eric Clapton.. " The roar that erupted from the crowd nearly blew the roof off the Building. I've never missed a Clapton show anytime he's been in NY since the late 70s. But this... WOW.... Given Eric's relationship with Duane, this was gonna be unreal. And as we can all see, it truly was. After Liz Reed, as they turned to walk off Stage before Layla, Eric turned to Derek and said "I don't think I've played like that since 1969.".... As they left the Stage after Layla, I couldn't fully make it out, but Eric said to Derek, "Hell, I wrote it and you play it better than I do" (Referring to Duane's Slide during the second part of the song). There's no question that Derek has more than made an indelible mark for himself, his slide (even when he was a kid) is truly Top Drawer. Duane was hitting notes that were off the scale, but Derek deserves so much credit for the skill he's reached. Duane would be really proud to see that Butch's nephew is doing his music serious justice. What a helluva show !!! ✌️

[@franklagola98]

I managed to get front row center tickets at the Beacon for the 1999 Beacon run. Dickey Betts last year with band, he literally leaned down and handed me his guitar pick & said y'all are true fans !! Even snuck backstage and met Kirk West & the whole crew

[@sandmanCQB8541]

​@@franklagola98I was there for that one too. That was their 30th Anniversary Tour. I think I saw 7 or 8 of those nights. In all the Decades I've been going to see them, I can honestly say I've never left feeling like it was anything less than a phenomenal show. I remember one show in the early 90s, they started playing Mountain Jam, and it morphed into Liz Reed, then Whipping Post, and about 45 minutes later, they swung right back into where they left off Mountain Jam and finished it up. Nothing ever surprises me when it came to what they did Live. I hate that they're gone. I feel like a part of me died when they ended. But at least there's The Allman Betts Band, and Warren Haynes is still doing his thing, not to mention Tedeschi Trucks Band, they always play Allman Brothers songs, and Susan can sing her ass off.

[@VanesiaHill]

My very favorite song of all time. I always request it wherever I can.

SALUTE TO BUTCH TRUCKS - ONE OF THE GROOVIEST MOST SOULFUL DRUMMERS EVER

[@dardenbunn1415]

I remember going out to the farm in Juliette and partying with Warren Haines and Gene McCormick among others. I remember slipping past my hippie hatin' old man to go to 2nd Atlanta Pop down in Byron with my bad older cousin, Anthony, when I was 16. I'm sitting here in Blacksburg, Virginia bawling my eyes out. Damn.

[@MellissaBoomeroftheNight]

Reach out to Warren. He and Jaimoe are the only ones still with us from the older versions of the band. I'm first from Central then Southern California. It's easy to meet a lot of people in the industry if you want to. I became very close to a wife in rehab. She took her life. Don't let that friendship slip away.

[@kencox1443]

It's priceless...U have Gregg alive, Warren Hanynes, Derek Trucks and Eric Clapton...play one more, please...

[@mark-fu9fe]

Makes me want to put on my dancing shoes!!!

[@robertgreenwald2811]

I've seen the Allman Bros. several times, I've seen Clapton several times but not both at once!

[@jeromestracks108]

Derek Trucks, Warren Haynes, and Eric Clapton Nuff said

[@PattiInNYC]

Word. It's ridiculous.

[@larpeiro1]

God I miss the Alman Brothers

[@philcrowley1344]

Man I love Claptons solo in Liz Reed.

[@robyount1521]

Trucks is arguably the best blues slide guitarist in the world. Incredible lineup. Great job everyone👏🎸🎵🎤

[@brianc.3607]

no argument from me... best in the business IMO... for someone so stoic on stage, he makes it sing like no other

[@ilpostinomotociclista270]

I would argue that. Give Ry Cooder a listen.

[@StephanieSmith-e9k]

I agree 👍 I need a Allman brother fix❤😮😮😮😮😮😢😊

[@sleeve8651]

From the very First time I listened to Melissa, it had me mesmerised ! Simply Beautiful ! May those members of the Band, that have Passed, ❤️🥀❤️ Rest In Peace

[@karmenjazbec7743]

YEAH ERIC YOU ARE THE LEGEND

[@jonlieberman7819]

I can see Duane Beaming from ear to ear

[@charlesalbright4164]

I was Leon WILKERSON 'S favorite bass player; besides himself. PERIOD!

[@karmenjazbec7743]

YEAH ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND YOU ARE THE BEST I LIKE TO LISTEN TO YOU OUTSIDE IS FOGGY AND IT IS RAINING BUT I AND MY CAT JACK ARE IN WARM ROOM

[@theillustriousjohn]

I was blessed to be present at one of the Allman Brothers shows. I will never forget it.

[@mikered71]

meee tooo - what a special night!

[@ronnyrono782]

That freaking Clapton can trade shops with anybody

[@Mws556]

Gregs got to be the best whiteboy blues singer there was😮

[@charlesalbright4164]

Brother you just raised the standard for long haired blonde bass players that got by on their looks

[@tonycosta4739]

One of the best nights of my life was at this show!!

[@StephanieSmith-e9k]

Oh my gawd😮😮😢😮❤❤🎉😮😮

[@robert-hc2fq]

Mind blown! R.I.P. Gregg Allman.

[@alwolf748]

Don't forget the Big Brother Duane A

[@carmenibarra1762]

Awesom!!!!! Thanks for posting this!!!! God blese you!!!!

[@bobmorr2892]

Dreams, wow, Warren was just fantastic.

[@toddswanson4303]

This was one of my favorite nights in that run. I agree with whoever mentioned Clapton playing with Otiel. He is an absolute beast on bass. Side note opinion, his time with the Allman Brothers was perfect practice for stepping into the impossible shoes of Phil Lesh in Dead and Company.

[@mark-fu9fe]

And...rock out, superb!

[@karmenjazbec7743]

YEAH BOYS YOU ARE THE BEST I LIKE TO LISTEN TO YOU YOUR SONGS ARE LEGENDARY

[@lisamarshall4616]

I have seen the Allman Brothers. What a great show!!! I will never forget it. WOW

[@williamconstable7991]

So wonderful wondrous music!

[@richardmash7163]

Never get tired of it!!

[@jydymyyyr9630]

Love Eric's smile at 1:01:07 when Derek goes into his solo - bet he's pretty proud that the next generation has learned the blues so well! Derek is something special... but then he had good teachers like Warren H., Eric C. & Duane A. (on tape) to learn from. Great stuff!

[@murphylouviere3828]

I’ve seen them in 1970 and 1971 at the warehouse in New Orleans. I always thought with Duane they were great. But with Eric they are the greatest!!!

[@charlesalbright4164]

Best bassist Eric ever played with!!!

[@lisamarshall4616]

Allman Brothers. They really jam.

[@PattiInNYC]

Thank you soooo much for posting this jam❣ What a concert. 💥

[@STSGuitar16]

Guys, I'm one of the biggest ABB fans out there and would never ever downplay the amazing work of Duane, but I must admit that dang Derek Trucks took Duane's entire skill level on guitar and multiplied it x1,000,000. And even when he isn't playing slide like during his Liz Reed solo here, he also has the best phrasing of any guitarist out there that I have heard. I truly see him just occupying his own space in terms of the best guitar skill. I really think he is that far above anyone else, and I am 100% willing to die on this hill lol. He is just too dang good that it seems unreal. I can't name another guitarist who conjures up vibes and emotions inside of me as much as Derek does on the regular. Change my mind: he's the best electric guitarist to ever walk the earth.

[@cornfilledscreamer614]

Jack Pearson.

[@jacksherman3169]

love yer passion! i find it hard to beat the original energy of the 1970 ABB. just watched both. this new one is fancy and clean but lacks the YOUTHFUL Passion of the original. just IMHO.....to each his own!!

[@cornfilledscreamer614]

@@jacksherman3169 You'd be correct. Derrick is good, but Duane was writing the book of slide every time he turned his amp on.

[@STSGuitar16]

@@cornfilledscreamer614 I can argue that Derek has written his own book of slide guitar that has an even greater depth than what Duane did at this point. And, I mean, it's pretty obvious that a 24 year-old Duane wouldn't end up having the depth of someone nearly twice his age as Derek now is, but that aside, Derek is quite far from just being a DA clone. 90% of the time, Derek is truly doing his own thing that really borrows much more from blues and gospel vocalists, along with Indian ragas than it does from DA slide licks. Duane's slide book has three or four chapters, whereas Derek's included those three or four chapters in his, along with forty other chapters that are completely different and take the idea of electric slide guitar into the stratosphere. To me, Derek is something else entirely.

[@STSGuitar16]

@@jacksherman3169 Youthful passion is certainly one of those intangibles that made the original ABB so great, but I don't find a lack of that passion in Derek's playing whatsoever. I do understand what you mean though: Duane's solos often felt like a high wire tightrope act with no net beneath him that he could potentially fall from at any moment, which is a different energy than you get from a lot of what Derek does. Both are indescribably great players, Derek had just mastered Duane's whole catalog by the time he was a young teenager, so it is only natural that he has surpassed that and gone on to take the style to entirely new heights.

[@eddiecartwright8577]

Missed this show by 4 days. We saw them on the 24th. Great show as well. 3 of the best guitar players ever on that stage.

[@douglascollman7341]

I was there ! Loved it !

[@sherrijordan3736]

Never be another. To match em amen

[@detroitgreg]

Dang! That's some amazing guitar playing on 1 stage. I've seen Clapton a few times and this is the best playing I've seen of his.

[@bearculb7717]

He's got great inspiration. The whole bands killing' it.

[@ExtremelyOCD]

With Warren and Derek, he had to step up. Talk about serious talent on that stage!! I'm sure there was a ton of mutual admiration up there.

[@usernameinvalid2675]

In the book one way out, he whispered in Derek ear, He said I haven’t played like that since 1969.

[@prathameshbhambure]

Beautiful ❤

[@lisamarshall4616]

Allman Brothers , what a great and beautiful sounds that stays with you!

[@jackwillson8099]

OUTSTANDING!

[@モマさん]

Amazing!!!

[@steveh3727]

A fine Friday stream. Last time I saw the ABB was in the 80's! Sadly, the days of easily doing live shows are getting fewer so this stuff is my therapy! Grateful I've got a large monitor, pretty decent little streaming setup.

[@georgemayhew1283]

There's an old country song called Who's gonna fill they're shoes. Who's gonna fill these guys shoes ?????

[@Mws556]

Can't be done😢

[@trevortreasure4896]

It must be nice having Warren Haynes AND Derek Trucks as your back-up guitarists!

[@PattiInNYC]

Haaaa!!!! Amazing.

[@karmenjazbec7743]

YEAH ERIC

[@B.Y.O.B]

Clapton come out come out wherever you are!!?

[@siniastz]

46:38 eric clapton screws up,, silent part of song,, derek caught it,, they both laugh,, rare time we see derek laugh,, A GREAT SHOW

[@tampabaytmm]

Warren is an amazing slide player. But check out Key to The Highway around 27:00 in. Eric plays a nice lead. Then Warren plays a slide part at 29:00ish.Derek comes in behind at 29:40ish and covers the Duane part from Layla album. Up and down the neck wowowowow. 3 amazing guitarists. But no doubt Derek is the greatest living slide player.

[@oregoncannabusiness9088]

maybe living or dead

[@rmsx4198]

Have anyone out there ever been to a drive-in theater, to see a rock&roll concert this would have been in the 70s ?

[@tarynciccarelloo57]

I'm crying now

[@tampabaytmm]

And then watch Stormy Monday. Warren signals to Derek to play two slide leads that start around 37:00ish then Warren plays a straight lead. Then Greg on the organ. Wowowow. But Derek on the slide is the best since and I personally believe including Duane (rest his soul). Then Eric plays as only Eric can. Thank you ALL . . . MANS

[@luigicarminati5553]

Il meglio del meglio

[@byronturnbow2189]

dang! I just started watching this at 40 min in . was feeling bad for Eric having to follow derek's killer solo. Then Eric just blasts off into outer space

[@rmsx4198]

Never gets old

The words are tears

[@meteorfive6]

Still got it!!!

[@pdimar171]

Holy Sh it! Just realized... DEREK TRUCKS AND THE DOMINOES RIP DUANE ALLMAN/MUSCLE SCHOLES

[@michaelp.2842]

To bad Greggory never found the girl and her mother in the 7-11 that inspired the name Mellissa . The 3 syllable name he was looking for his song . Would have been nice to here who they were . History !

[@michaelp.2842]

Funny how Greggory just sitting back there on his organ like he's the CEO of the band ! Watching everybody . 😶

[@tampabaytmm]

and then . . . around 134:00 Eric is finishing his solo on Layla, and the piano part starts, and then Derek starts in on the slide part. Now Duane wrote it so you can't say anybody plays it better. But listen people. LISTEN. and go check the 10 year old Derek Trucks playing this same slide lead to Layla from Atlanta with him in short pants and a big Atlanta Braves hat. NOBODY has ever played that slide part better. God bless you my hero Duane, but Mr. Derek has got it RIGHT!

[@Stereostupid]

Love that video it's a 💎 gem!

[@daveemmons7605]

I was there by accident but was a memorable night loved clapton being w allman brothers. Dereck and Warren were smokkin Eric just made it magic

[@robertgreenwald2811]

WOW!

[@Heyemeyohsts]

The guitar solo band

[@rmsx4198]

Talking about parking wow this would work

[@jamessaul9289]

I still affirm that Clapton's playing has grown tiresome amid his "tortured, inhibited" solo period but he sounds on another level here. He sounds terrific when there's somebody Fantastic pushing him.

[@rmsx4198]

1 hour

[@kencox1443]

Yeah, ok.."Stormy Monday"...I'm good with that....

[@maverictomcat]
