I was at this concert. I've been to many Allman Brothers concerts but this one....hands down the best one I've ever seen, of Allman Brothers or any other band.

Dangerous Dan Toler. David Grissom. Zakk Wylde for 1 night. 🙏 They've had bad azzes from day 1 until the very end, March 2020. David Grissom is a amazing guitar player. His PRS DGT is the only PRS that I personally want. But yea, the only time it comes close to Duane & Dickey is either Dickey & Warren, or Dickey & Derek, and then Derek & Warren. They, really got back to their blues roots with those 2. I can only imagine the heights they'd have seen if Duane were still around for it. You, know they all would've pushed each other higher & farther than they'd ever been before. Think they're bad azzes now? Boy, if Duane Woulda got ahold of these 2...youd have seen the greatest band this world has ever seen. I mean, I believe that anyway but I'm a bit biased. I got my middle name, Duane, from Howard Duane Allman. 😁 And he's the reason I play the guitar. He's the reason I have a gold top and a burst Les Paul-style guitar. 🙏

[@tedcabana]

As a guitar aficionado for over 40 years, I have played, dabbled, performed, and mastered many styles of guitar. And over those many years, I have paid less attention to slide guitar than I should have. When playing in a cover band many years back I was asked to perform a set of ZZ Top songs. I like ZZ so I said yes. Now I had some XP with the slide, and even owned a couple types. But in that situation I was happy to learn something new, and the slide was a whole new animal. I worked out my slide parts, and techniques, and listened and learned from other players. Like one of my old time favorites, Joe Walsh. But when I watched Derek play slide, it took on a whole new meaning. He did with that piece and one damn finger what I never thought possible. And that is why I believe Derek is the best slide player in the universe. Because I ain't seen no one better. If I can some day get that good than I can finally stop trying. Slide on, Derek!

[@rocketrose2165]

There are so many good slide players (two in this band) and each one has their own style. Yours will emerge and like a fingerprint, it will be unique. The beauty if music is you never have to quit trying.

We can't talk slide with out mention Mr Ry Cooder also!! And of course, the late great Bob Brozman RIP 2013. Of course that doesn't mean I disagree with your comment Ted.

[@tedschmidt3288]

I agree with you and I’m sure Duane Allman is smiling from the heavens. But to keep things in perspective, no one that I’m aware of in 1971 was playing electric slide with the passionate force as Duane Allman. Ok, Johnny Winter did but his phrasing/sound wasn’t the same. I saw them both at the same time with the ABB opening for JW. Unfortunately Duane left us at 24 and many wonder what could have been...Thank god we have “At Fillmore East”.

Well said...Bingo! a challenge I’m currently participating in + it’s not easy 😮

[@gilguajardo7808]

@@jking2584 Can you please expand on that?

[@rockandrollrabbit]

@@gilguajardo7808 You can see him doing it pretty clearly a little after the 8:30 mark. Watch his right hand, he's not using a pick.

[@mjlastshot23]

That slide, just .... damn. Holy shit. Wow ..... just too good. Whole song just rocks the blues. Love SRV, RIP Stevie.

Glad you enjoyed Dean!

Love Warrens solo, he's got a great style , great playing and slide too.

[@jsherman316]

Derek Trucks is unbelievable guitar player.Great heart for the blues.

[@raymondesherman2524]

A little blues to start the day yeaaaaah

[@jimmy2minutes]

I have never seen anyone play lead licks with a slide. That's amazing 👏

[@naitgutierrez6946]

This is the best, thank youuuuuuu for upload this.

[@JohnHarrison-jl4wk]

Doesn't get much better than that!! Warrens BB kingish approach to his solo only more fierce with that beautiful vibrato followed by that searing slide work of Derek's lit this tune on fire 🔥

[@rustybaldwin1449]

Duane looking down from heaven saying to Jimi and SRV.Damn! listen to that kid wail!!!!

[@dianaleyva8681]

Rusty Baldwin .....today little brother Greg gets put his hand on Duane’s shoulder and say You were always with me I love you man! I love you my big brother And Stevie Ray Vaughn shyly looks at them black hat covering most of his face

Assuming either existed, I'd think they'd both be in Hell. I think most fun people would be.

Funny image of Mother Theresa up there ‘wait a minute, I spend my days in abject poverty working 20 hour days. You guys do drugs, sex and rock/roll and we all end up in the same spot. Fuuuuuuuuuck that!’

Glad you enjoyed Mike!

Derek Trucks...just so damn good. I cannot get enough. Tedeschi Trucks band...same.

Gregg's organ....sublime....no one did it quite as he did...a master. RIP

[@joshangout9609]

I hear that! I am stoked- I've got a 21 year old kid in my band and damn, he can lay on that organ. He was a saxophone player, but when he got his hands on a keyboard less than 2 years ago, he turned into a beast. I can't believe how lucky I got. I have him, a bassist who was director for the USAF touring band for 8 years, a superior drummer who can sit in the pocket, lay down a great blues groove, and then turn around and smack you in the face with heavy rock drums. He can bass drum so fast that he doesn't need a double bass pedal. Then, I have a guitar player who is seasoned, but in the BEST way! He's recorded with Lenny Kravitz, toured for 6 years with Quincy Jones, and been on the stage of Soul Train. He is the baddest shredder, plays Kiss exactly like Prince, but can also roll it back with me on More Than Words with the acoustic. He's a badass! I have NO idea how I got so mucky with my crew, but boy I really am!!!!

No matter how many times I watch Derek start a Fire on the fretboard of his SG with a Coricidin bottle I never get tired of it. He has turned the world of Blues Slide Guitar on its head and given "Slide Guitar" a whole New Sound. Dennis Dullea

[@adamletschin7759]

Best show i ever saw was M.O.E opening for Allman Bros in 2004 when Derek and Warren were playing for them. Absolutely off the charts

[@peterdanner2336]

In my most humble opinion as a guitarist of 40 years who has been watching players for even longer, this is the finest guitar solo there is. On so so many levels it’s astounding, and something I’m not sure many humans could reproduce. Astounding.

[@LessThanFaceProductions1]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@danvincent2600]

Yes, definitely. Is he playing in standard tuning? Just wondering. It’s amazing

[@collecter3456]
