In Memory of Elizabeth Reed - Allman Brothers Band & Eric Clapton

A beautiful and powerful performance of the song In Memory of Elizabeth Reed - one of the most memorable hits of the Allman Brothers Band with the guitar wizardry of Eric Clapton. You can watch the whole concert at the you tube site of decadasderockandroll

Eric is always better when he's out of his element. When he tours his own show, it's way over-rehearsed for my tastes. But when he's with other cats, it pushes him out of his comfort zone. That's when he's at his best.

[@nancetheDanceVixen]

Probably allows him to just “be” with the tune without too much thinking. He can respond in real time. Thinking gets in the way more than most anything else. And ABB is THE “jam band”! It’s what modern day “jamming” aspires to achieve.

[@wkhenslee]

@@KickflipGnasty Hey Kick, hope I didn't leave the wrong impression about Clapton. Wow he has done it all with everyone thats come to the scene in the past 50 years. Some of his stuff got drowned when he played with different people and the comment was intended as a compliment because he hits these licks as good as anytime before the Allman Bros did them with the exception to Duane' presence. The Allman Bros were what all others that came after were measured by and that is a major compliment to Clapton. You think there was ever a guitar player alive that his level of performance was raised .about as much as it could be knowing what people will draw conclusion from. Duane was better every day until he left us too soon. I'm just one opinion and Clapton nailed it in that tune. Hats off!!

[@glennkarant6760]

"In my humble opinion, Dickey Bett's composition, "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" is one of the finest instrumental songs of our musical era. The version we all came to know on Idlewild South was a masterpiece itself but when the At Fillmore East album came out, we really got a taste of how epic this song would become to us. The impact on my playing and how I would view other jam bands would be measured and compared, in part, to this one song. The live version is a breathtaking piece with intricately woven passages, where time signatures and rhythm patterns dance and the music is alive and vibrant with electricity. The way the band played this song live, with section changes and lead solo hand offs on this occasion on AFE was flawless; the syncopated interaction between Butch and Jaimoe was thrilling, propelling the kinetics of the band's timing with unerring precision. Berry's wonderful bass lines and intricate bursts of melody were uncanny, feeding off the rhythms and leads of Gregg, Duane and Dickey, and rather than seeming to hang on for dear life, Berry intuitively integrated the percussion section with well-timed complimentary bass patterns to accompany those ferocious lead solos. The swirling chords and notes of Gregg's B3 during the song are majestic and rich with supple tones and his solo is powerful and concise. The band was smooth and surfing the groove the whole time. And of course the lead solos by Dickey and Duane are branded into our musical memories. The intensity and urgency of the solos are undeniable as each master of the guitar creates tension, an ebb and flow, in and of the moment. By the time the band surges into the riff that signals the end of the song, you are exhilarated and have absorbed the passion that passed from them to you. Passed to us every time like a great gift that never disappoints. Written by Dickey Betts and performed with able support from the best band in the land, Duane always made sure that Dickey got proper credit for his composition and we do too. Thank you Dickey. Happy birthday!" Mark Vormittag

No doubt it is a great performance. I'm sure you have listened to the 9th symphony or Carmina Burana countless times. The best rock musicians are extremely gifted and talented. The best classical composers were extremely gifted, talented and knew what they were doing theoretically as well. It is like comparing Sidney Sheldon to Oscar Wilde.

Trucks and Clapton burn down the house. If I had to choose between them, I'd pick -- both! For those of us who like to hear electric guitars soar, this is aural paradise. Three great guitar solos! I love to hear them all jamming on this great old tune. It's interesting to watch Trucks and Clapton chatting after Clapton's solo. Trucks seems to have a way of creating a warm camaraderie with his fellow musicians: everyone seems to like him.

[@InService77]

I have a collection of Cream bootlegs from the 60's, and like others commenting here, I'm pleased to see Eric going boldly forward on this one. My favorite Clapton recordings are from the Cream reunion in '05. Whereas Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker seemed past their peak, Eric was at the top of his game in combining melodic and technical skill at 60 years old. Also, I totally support his willingness to take the attacks last year for simply speaking up about his experience with getting injured from the Covid jabs.

Eric's Strat has the 25 db midrange boost on the bottom tone control, which to my ears sounds a lot like a Gibson SG when its all the way up and on the bridge pickup. So it isn't a normal Strat sound.

Derek certainly pushed him to higher heights. That's the kind of thing you only see Clapton do if he has other great musicians pushing him. After Derek's solo I actually wondered what Clapton was gonna do, considering this is not a song he's used to playing and knows his way around like Derek and Warren do and Derek just did... whatever the hell that was. Of course, Clapton did what he always does when pushed. He soared.

[@petesciarabba4367]

I think he's saying Derek pushed him to play a little harder. Just like The Last Waltz. Clapton pushed Robbie Robertson to the limit, Robbie responded and that's where the magic comes in. Not that it's a competition, but most musicians that "jam" appreciate being on stage with others that can bring it, so to speak. They bring out the best in each other.

[@Knight14649]

Warren is a brilliant guitarist. He gets sounds that nobody else can. Sometimes his solos leave me speechless.

They were always noteworthy for that remarkable, straight-off-the-top, duel guitar leads that step parallel but staggerdly at times; I was an old kid of 20 at the time, but i must say that i've never heard this version with Eric Clapton playing lead with Warren Hayes on lead/rhythm, Butch Trucks son Derek on drums. They cooked, and this takes me back to a time when the light shine was so bright it had to grow dimmer in time. And yet, it shines on here, and since "it's all music", we all must play our part.

[@jameskilburn2618]

Eric and Derek killing it. I can die a happy man!

[@Kots2016]

I have listened to this song at least a thousand times. Best instrumental song there is. I miss Gregg and The Allman Brothers Band so much!!

[@smarroy]

I read somewhere that after his solo, when Eric leans over to Derek Trucks, he said "I haven't played like that in 40 years"

[@AngeloG07]

I see what u mean Sam ,..not sure if thats true , but u see how Derek was watching Clapton the whole time playing. I'm sure they were enjoying it all. 3 of the greatest guitarist all together. WOW !

[@JC-11111]

Nah. He came back in and finished his solo too early. So he started the next bar by himself. He likely leaned over and told Derek "I came back in too early on that one! Oops! Lol!" You could see when he did it that he starts smiling before ever talking to Derek because he knew he finished the solo too early and, as a result, started the next bar by himself since nobody was expecting it.

[@smarroy]

​@@JC-11111 hum, that makes sense, but you inspired me to seek out the original quote, and I found it, with context: Haynes was especially blown away by Clapton’s meaty soaring the second night during “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed”: “His solo was filled with reckless abandon.” Clapton knew it too. When the song was over, he turned to Derek Trucks and said, “I haven’t played like that since 1967.” Definitely possible he said both things, since the camera cuts away, so it doesn't mean you're wrong.

@@JC-11111 you might be right, look like Eric was just getting warmed up. All 3 great guitarist !!! Lets not forget the bass player he was jamming big time ,...bad ass !!

[@renitaodom8099]

Luv this! I know Duane is smiling down from heaven knowing the ALLman Brothers Sound is still being played & listened too! My favorite band!

[@petrucarp2512]

Beautiful music!

[@louismolyneux4055]

Derek is probably my favourite guitarist alive today, but I have to hand it to warren on this one, he killed it. Felt my face melting at 12:30

[@robertaustin1945]

Warren is the best guitar player out there blows me away with his talent

[@onebellyman]

An absolutely amazing performance!!!! So timeless!!!

[@Thundergod-]

Since Skydog is no longer with us, Derek is king of the slide guitar....🎼🎵🎶🎹🎸🎸

[@CarnivoreguyScott]

Just awesome 👏🏾 But no mention of the writer of the song and brilliant guitar player in his own right,Dickey Betts .

[@FlaschDJ]

It is a magnificent composition, as are Jessica and Rambling Man (other Betts superb songs). BTW: Duane Allman (aka Sky Dog)?played on Clayton’s Layla record.

[@blucheer8743]

I think dicky was in the dog house at this point but awesome stuff here

[@4dee8eez]

Amen!

[@ronnieforey2068]

You just did

[@TomTom-xp2jb]

Hope you're doing well Dickie. Love from Canada!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@boroblueyes]

An awesome rendition! Kudos to all.

[@smelly1444]

Duane would be so damn happy if he knew Derek and Eric would be playing this song together

[@TK-nq5sv]

He knows!!!

[@wgbearden7776]

George Rosewell someone’s triggered 😂

[@timsmola9945]

Wow, what a JAM.

[@johnbreedlove3245]

RIP Greg. Truly my heart is broken. All these great musicians moving on, , but he and this band were something real special.

[@3butalcomp3]

ABB 👹😎 I saw them in '98. This was the one killer tune left out, still great experience. Derek Trucks, Warren Haynes! ☮️💨☮️💨

[@3butalcomp3]

So Sorry Eric Clapton, Earbuds were on... Not watching the video ... 💨☮️💨☮️🎸

[@antonioandiOS]

Love it! But there has always been some kind of desire of mine to see Dickey and Clapton play together... too bad it couldn’t be here

[@movid3369]

I keep thinking: where's Dickey??

[@tommowers6826]

One of the best guitarists ever. Incredible rendition of this bad ass jam inho.

[@daleandrews367]

Off their second LP Idlewild South. One of my instrumental favorites by the Allman Brothers Band...and with Eric Clapton. Now THAT adds class and legitimacy to it!

[@mark1952able]

Brings back the initial buzz from the first time I heard it in 1971 at Grossinger' s N.Y. for colleges to choose who they wanted to give a concert at their schools. Incredible music!

[@frankdiscussion2069]

All in a days work for Mr. Clapton. Look at Derek Truck's face when Clapton starts digging in. The look of pure admiration is evident. He's onstage with a legend.

[@alonzogarbanzo]

So are Eric and Warren.

[@edhardwick2538]

I can't like this enough. Trucks and Clapton were great, but Haynes absolutely melted that Les Paul.

[@markrodgers2976]

I dunno, I kinda thought he over-compensated and over-played a bit. To borrow a great quote from Vince Gill (referring to studio musicians), "Yeah, that was great.....now play me HALF of everything you know".

[@guacamole8964]

you can still see derick marvel at the style of eric
