DESDEMONA - The Allman Brothers, Derek Trucks, Warren Haynes

[@ryanhallwrites]

I couldn't love this song more if I tried. The gorgeous - almost Faulkner-esque imagery of the rainy Southern town. Gregg's beautiful vocals. The rhythm section clinic between Butch, Jaimoe, Marc (incredibly underrated) and Oteil. The subtle walking Rhodes line that Gregg does during the guitar solos. And My GOD those solos! Warren and Derek are of another world. Having two of the finest blues guitarists of all time in the same band - what a blessing. But you could say that from day one with ABB with Duane and Dickey. What a band and one of my biggest regrets is never getting to see them play live.

Ryan Hall Nice comment thank you..

[@pickituup34]

Ryan, you nailed it 💯 so well said

[@cafewa100]

Beautifully said Ryan. Just Beautiful. 🎶🎤 🎹🎸🥁

[@CecilEubanks]

The essence of the Allman brothers.. an eerie ambience that depicts a stormy southern night. Gregg's keys and Warren's guitar a torrent of rain, Butch, Jaimoe, and Otel rolling thunder, and Derek the Lightning.

[@arubalivemusic]

very nice.

[@jeffridge9385]

Spot on characterization...

[@pickituup34]

PREACH!!

[@patrickhite3026]

Well said Cecil Eubanks.🍄

[@TheYankeefly26]

This song is the essence of The Allmans. Perfection.

[@janras1771]

One of those Truckssolos, where time and space fade away and there is just heaven.

[@Bepollard1]

Seems like all of them are like that

[@charleslowery1916]

Never could figure out why this last great CD never got any commercial airplay. I think that it's one of the greatest efforts made by The ABB since the 90's.

[@mmmcosta]

A work-of-art!

[@lobodiablo9971]

Most of us were stuck in Seattle.

[@ehern10181990]

As a drummer, I will always be impressed by the seemless rudimentality of the drummers. Homeboy is running paradiddles for days.

[@KevinAhernmusic]

As a guitarist I could watch Derek and Warren all day long! But it was really nice to see some focus on Gregg. He is after all, the main reason we have the Allman Brothers band! Not to mention, he is the BEST and most soulful singer of all time!

[@abbgt]

The final 2001-2014 edition of the Allman Brothers Band was a real beast. Great song & performance.

[@tippimail1]

Butch Trucks would have been 72 today-can you even imagine what life would be like without great music like this?

[@brickmn808]

The way Warren Haynes seemed to be starring at Derek Trucks in awe during his solo says a lot.

[@jonessparkman]

Rest in peace Butch, I do not know what was ailing your mind, body or soul at the end, I can only pray your spirit will be given the chance to find a true resolution, bless.

[@danilopianca1957]

Amazing tune. Derek and Warren, Warren and Derek. Which one is the best? No way out. Allman Brothers Band at his best. I will love this band forever.

[@seanx40]

I love the look on Warren's face there during Derek's solo.

[@tippimail1]

Who the hell put the thumbs down for this?The Allman Brothers-can i say more?

[@konradschluter65]

In my opinion, it is one of the best ABB tunes.

[@moboden9764]

Out fucking standing... I don't know why, but this song makes me want to weep....

[@shaneware1704]

mo boden Yes Sir it does

[@highermeru]

I was at this show! Saw the ABB 6 times in 2013! They were at their peak with Derek & Warren...This was also the best Bonaroo ever! Antibalas late night Thursday. Friday Neal Young & Crazy Horse rocked main stage for over 3 hours with a greatest hits show, then late night Flaming Lips under a tent. Saturday Allman Brothers and then Widespread Panic with Warren & Robert Randolph sitting in. Sunday James Brown opened up for The Dead!

[@mandaslife]

wooooooooow!!!!!!! that's music!!!!!!!!!!!!! god thank you on that awesome people who make us so happy with music :)

[@shaneware1704]

[@contremisart]

[@crazyhawk59]

He is beautiful, just the way he is.

[@beve1011]

RIP Gregg. Thanks for all the GREAT music... Rock on in Heaven

[@angelemerald1]

I am so grateful I was able to see them between 2002 and 2014. May Butch and Gregg rest in peace.

[@lisafarrah6035]

I love when Warren smiles during Derek's solo ABB✌️💙🎵🍄

[@barbarascotto3873]

Probably the greatest video on youtube

[@CatfishSkinner]

WOW! This is GREAT!! Give me DT & WH guitar solos all day long! Oh YEAH!!!!

[@dapizzaman22]

Never Forgotten Brother Greg Allman. With Skydog now.

[@shaneware3399]

Amen

[@richardgray8593]

@Vaportrails22 -- Exactly where is he with Skydog? In the ground?

[@crazyhawk59]

Every time I listen to this, I have to thank you. I have heard and seen 5 or 6 performances (one of my ABB favorites.) and this one is the best. Those jams in the middle are bliss. Thanks again.

[@shaneware1704]

Roseanne Salyer My pleasure Dear.

[@crazyhawk59]

Makes me want to change my name. Beautiful, Gregory, I love you.

[@mofnn24]

What a great jam ! Love this tune the way they play it.

[@sandybowman5234]

I can never hear this song enough. Awesome

[@patriciagonzales2148]

What a great voice, sounds the same from day one just as strong. he will be missed. He's just one of these guys u thought would be around 4ever. Thank god his music & these clips will be.

[@mattconnors9419]

Thank you, Gregg. RIP

[@jimmccarthy1989]

I just hope their is a place in heaven where they have all day performances of your favorite artists. And you can just go from venue to venue. Let’s go see Bob Marley today. Tomorrow we are goin to see Stevie Ray. Then we see Sinatra on Tuesday. The Altman’s would be my first stop

[@robertbarber339]

Great guitar mighty good picking

[@carycareycarrie4445]

One of my favorite songs of theirs. They kill it here. Love it -- them -- so much.

[@tippimail1]

R.I.P. Gregg.

[@judygirl3102]

I keep waiting for the morning that I wake up and it doesn't hurt anymore....This is so pretty....I guess the pain of losing him and my Dad at the same time...is just too much to bear sometimes!

[@simplybrad74]

This may just be the one and only time I will have seen the Allman Brothers.

[@matthewtodd3879]

Master musicions,its fantastic

[@Spreewilder]

love it...allmans for ever.

[@NicolePalmucci]

[@shaneware1704]

[@Itsmecolo2]

Sure do miss The Allman Brothers band playing here at Red Rocks Amphitheater...

[@eldievalenciano7967]

Legends Live !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@gatortman]

Amen Brother

[@CEBREESE]

Warren once described the slide guitar style saying, 'if the human voice could play the guitar, it would come out as a slide blues lick'. I've never heard a more adept description!

[@mmusicmann]

killer song. warren is 'the man.' check out when his solo comes up. he turns up his amp. he smiles at gregg. turns to a chick in the wings,(of whom by her reaction knows him pretty well) smiles at her...and then takes off like rocket man. just one of, if not the best American Band of all times...and they're still play cutting edge music.

[@mmusicmann]

this is big boy music.

[@johnvega5141]

Love My Rock and Blues by The Allmans.. ♫

[@artflow7805]

So good some of my favorite things

[@robertwarner9921]

Fine picking and singing

[@TheLovachild]

Derek Trucks what a humble boy. Step forward another one more step.

[@ThelmaIII]

Great Song...

[@DavidB-ec7bm]

The name Desemona is from Shakespeare. A most ill-favored lady, she is murdered by her husband. The ABB is one of my favorite bands. So years later, I still journey to the place wihere the music lives for the time that those remember.

[@mb19512002]

so far...I've noticed that this version, ,has seamlessly been edited twice. Gotta save it before it gets "shorter" A phenominal piece of musical all around !

[@tippimail1]

Somewhere Duane is smiling.

[@EatAPeach25285]

holy warren haynes batman!!!

[@hivicar]

Derek "My Favorite Things" 4:01-4:10

[@billturner4427]

I miss him

[@gatortman]

Yes.... Perfect

Good Lord.

[@jameswyatt3361]

Shear brilliance...

[@hivicar]

John Coltrane's version of "My Favorite Things" quoted by Derek 4:01-4:10!

[@DaynePeachman]

Nice catch. Derek always puts little easter eggs in there!

[@mmmcosta]

So well noticed!

[@jaxflfreebird]

Man, the solos in this song are just incredible. I guess I've gotten over how the song can make me feel at times. When I am very sad this would not be my go-to song. But when I'm feelin' allright this song, or this version is pretty amazing, minus some sub par Gregg vocal work.

[@susant8809]

crazy for GA on keyboards

[@matthewtodd3879]

Got a 20K hifi and derick on the left speaker warren on the right,fuckin Awsome

[@kudzucherito5253]

Even murder wasps would love these grooves.

[@petercberry]

@stipplehead this was in summer 2003 in manchester, tennessee for bonnaroo.

[@tippimail1]

One of my favorite Allman Bros.songs.The players are:Gregg Allman[R.I.P.],vocals and organ;Derek Trucks,guitar;Warren Haynes,guitar;Oteil Burbridge,bass;-back row,left to right audience:Jai Johanny Johanson[Jaimoe],drums;Butch Trucks[R.I.P.],drums and Marc Quinones,precussion.Watch the look on Warrens face when Derek takes off on his solo.When you've impressed him you're doing something.Oh,yeah,Gregg and Warren wrote this.When they stretch out at 2:49,it puts me in mind of Dave Brubeck's[R.I.P.] Take Five.

[@martymiller2264]

Yes this has always been one of my favorites and loved it when they go into the Take Five groove. Also one of there strongest albums ever.

[@moboden9764]

Amen CB. I'll drink to that.... ;-)

[@tippimail1]

Happy 69th.birthday,Butch!!

[@reveddro319]

mercy..........

[@SurrenderToAir]

This is from Bonnaroo '03 but it's uncut, unlike the version on the Bonnaroo '03 DVD. How did you get a hold of this and is it possible to see other songs from the set like say...Layla?

[@evacarboniofficialchannel5017]

🖤🔥

[@johnnytwidds4232]

Gregg's voice isn't quite what it used to be, but I'd still trade it for everything I've got

[@ryanhallwrites]

Johnny Twidds it’s hard to argue with that. But considering the hell he put his body through over the years his voice held up remarkably well.

[@crazyhawk59]

Fuck, yeah!!

[@debragoforth3035]

Whoops I didn't see what the song was...now it is right

Greg sounds a bit tired from the tour but man that kicked some azz.

[@robertdoerr5999]

Was Duane on the studio version. Or is he just looking down with brother Greg just feeling a great groove.

[@Phishphantom]

Hey man do you have this entire show? This is some incredible music and footage of a band at their Highest!

[@GeneralGuitFiddle]

Anyone know if Derek stays in his normal open E tuning for this tune?

[@michaelgibbons1982]

Fantastic ---- What's the date of this show? Looks like a festival

[@FirstBornThird]

3:25 Here we go. Strap in, motherfuckers!

[@shaneware1704]

[@vberr223]
