[@martin156a]

Sometimes a ‘like’ doesn’t come close to giving the credit that’s deserved. This is flawless! Outstanding in every way 👏

[@georgemichael7178]

Another great cover, The Brothers would be proud. Can’t wait until September

[@FlightData101]

Well said!

[@chuckoaks6756]

Real music is a thing of the past it seems like. Could anything like this come out today? I doubt it. Thanks to all of you for the memories.

[@craighermle7727]

You're so right. If I didn't know it was LLB and I was just listening to the music LLB was the Allman Brothers. I honestly wouldn't have noticed the differences. Well, actually I would have. One of the piano/organ solos in the ABB version sounded like a finger slide or hit a wrong note. It was always part of the song, and I was waiting for the LLB to play it

[@ptrubert9199]

Mm m​@@georgemichael7178

[@kitdinker]

RIP Dickey Betts. Excellent rendition of this song Dickey wrote for his daughter Jessica.

[@HuasoPodrido]

Duane, Greg, Betts are you listening? you are still here. Music never dies....

[@212sarge]

And that folks, is why Lexington Lab Band is the best. No debate.

[@Frontdesk99]

-edit- commented wrong reply :-)

[@tedblumstein6772]

OMG!! Amazing tribute!! ... RIP Dickey Betts. You are remembered right here.

[@lindabergman3127]

Yep beautiful ❤❤❤

[@asajayunknown6290]

Every time this bass player is on, I just love watching him. He is so stoic about the whole thing. Doesn't miss a thing and is great. But will not smile. Not once😊

[@digitalsplit9312]

Randy is a awesome player and a awesome dude!

[@philstubblefield]

As a fellow bassist, I'm well aware of the stereotype: Q: "How many bassists does it take to screw in a light bulb?" A: "None... you don't need light on that side of the stage." 🤣

[@ericwiitala5407]

I was thinking the same thing. Randy is always rock solid.

[@johntellier2366]

Love Randy's tone-what amp is he groovn' on? Just sounds right.

[@blfrie]

3:30 is about as good a bass player smile as you'll get. That little head turn with the groove is all a bass player needs ;-)

[@dougsimmons2791]

Please…. Take the time and close your eyes and just listen!! You will transported back to 1973 and a great time for music. Perfect job LLB!!!

[@jerrydillard2430]

Sounds just like the brothers! Beautiful!

[@jmcjmc1600]

I saw the Allman Brothers do this tune at Eastown Theater in Detroit. With all the original members!

[@nobodyhere4961]

Pure music heaven...... The Allman Brothers would be proud !!!!!!!!!

[@dougharris8328]

Definitely

[@sclewell777]

Hey babies that was the Allman Brothers on 99.3 WFRE rocking Kentucky with classic rock. Great job. Can't tell the difference. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@yancyjenkinssr1824]

D93 Bowling Green ain't no joke neither! And I live in Tampa😅

[@johncronk3939]

One more flawless example of what these excellent musicians are capable of doing. Great job. We named our daughter after this song.

[@tristansheehan1453]

Tonight, on TOP GEAR

[@CatPianoClassics]

I wear some goggles, Richard falls down a small slope, and James says "hello" to a man

[@Hemispheres2112]

The duel guitar work between Lefty and Jason Bateman is superb. The whole band in this tune is spot on!

[@markchizmadia2004]

I have a daughter named Jessica. When I hear this song, I think of her beautiful face. You guys did the Allman Brothers right !

[@2olvets443]

The best rock instrumental song ever then and now!

[@idaho2ndgens240]

Wow, that is incredible musical talent right there!! Everyone is right on time, perfection!!! Thank you for doing this fantastic song!!!

[@jerrydillard2430]

That was perfect!

[@charlesknox8721]

I am ever in awe of the caliber of musicians associated with LLB. It makes for a pure listening experience.

[@trumpingtonfanhurst694]

Took me right back, thanks for that.... and Thank You Allman Brothers and Dickey Betts.

[@oldprankster7606]

What an absolute joy it is to hear a southern rock classic resurrected so lovingly and brilliantly by a younger generation of artists. Thanks from the bottom of my heart, gentlemen!

[@brendanfromnz]

I can tell you that my neighbours are going to enjoy hearing this one, whether they want to or not. Superb!

[@shanebarber9330]

What an incredible tribute to Dickey Betts and the Allman Brothers! The only difference between this version and the original is the people playing. Everything else is IDENTICAL!! Unbelievably fantastic! Thank you guys for this one!

[@MrRebar15]

*lexington Lab Band* Bravo well done, thank-you for taking the time top bring us along. GOD Bless.

[@daleweaver9952]

100% PERFECT! Love it! What a tribute to Dickie Betts! So glad this music lives on!

[@thomaswahl5091]

An excellent tribute to Dickey Betts. If he heard this fantastic cover, he was dancing in heaven. Thank you guys for this awesome piece of music.

[@irontiger8882]

L.L.B. keep doing what you do!!! Rock America and whoever else is listening!!! 😁🎸🎶

[@jonspangler1868]

Flawless performance. The complexity of the song, the note-for-note rendition, and the cohesiveness of all the band members to bring it all together is amazing. Takes me all the way back to the 70’s when I first heard this song.

[@charlesbrown959]

This group is my library of music now......amazing.

[@johnnywishbone8985]

Tonight on TOP GEAR. LOL😄😄😄😄

[@leifhietala8074]

I can't get enough of Austin's easy competence on the keyboards. There's a guy who takes hard parts because they're fun.

[@johnpage2935]

It’s a quiet cloudy day in East Tennessee and the Lexington Lab Band just burst thru the clouds and my feet are tapping and as usual I feel blessed to hear their music. Thanks to all!

[@johngray6277]

This is simply another outstanding performance! Don’t you guys get tired of being soo good?! This is not an easy “cover “ and you performed it to perfection! Sounded like the original, doesn’t get better than THAT! When you play as well as the best, you’re awfully dang good! Well done, well done, BRAVO!

[@Itsjustjess352]

My dad used to play this one for me….as far back as I can remember. He’s been gone 8+ years now, but I still smile every time this one comes on. Such an incredible tune in the soundtrack of our lives. Well done LLB! 🥰 🙏🏻

[@allentumminello2343]

You guys can’t be that damn good You never pick an easy piece of music to redo. Thank you. PRIDE

[@paulmayer4836]

Maybe a little too good ....

[@martincolley5371]

One of my favorite Allman Bro's tunes.Ya'll did it right..

[@terrybagwell8609]

Best 7 and 1/2 minutes I've spent in a long time. Outstanding!

[@feleciaberry6546]

When a seven and half minute song seems too short ; you've got to be doing something right.

[@jls0129]

Mike, You are my FAVORITE music group. You guys are such of talented musicians! We are so grateful that you bring back this great songs! You guys make them sound better than the original ones. I have been recommending your music videos to all of my family and friends! Please keep on doing that great job! I love you guys! ✌️

[@dz-vs6jc]

Thanks again LLB for sharing your talents. Wonderful performance of this song

[@jkxelor1295]

Awesome!!! RIP Dickey. One of the greats. Thank you LLB

[@philbivins7133]

All I can say for you guys is, “The Allman Brothers would be proud of your hard work.” Well done Lex!

[@timparry715]

RIP Dickey. I cannot tell you how much I love Jessica. My favorite instrumental of all time!!! Bloody great job! Thank you!!!

[@bellbrass]

Lexington area drummer here. I didn't know who Tucker Wilson was before watching this great performance. I sure do now. That dude is fantastic here.

[@LexingtonLabBand]

Would love to connect. Send us a note through our website

[@bellbrass]

@@LexingtonLabBand Done!

[@kenfischer2285]

One of the best ROAD SONGS and you guys NAILED it.....Awesome!!!!!

[@TheHonudiver]

Holy smokes nailed the guitar solo!

[@DeeDocker]

❤3LB That just touched my heart. I started playing guitar listening to the Allman Brothers and named my daughter Jessica. With the passing of Dickey Betts 😥 and playing what I believe is the best song he ever wrote, ..... well done you guys.... well done

[@floundergearjam]

The timing is beautiful with the recent passing of Dickie Betts. Well done LLB.

[@neilbissett1240]

For us in the uk it used to be top gear a car show opening music well done guys brilliant as ever thanks for sharing 🤔👏😎🇬🇧

[@kathygoldade6959]

Phenomenal! I never would have known it wasn't the Allman Brothers.

[@Tipp_Of_The_Mitt]

Superb job guys. RIP Dickey.

[@richardclark375]

Why can’t musicians today create music like this anymore?

[@Fastvoice]

That's ironic - because you just listened to musicians that created music like this *nowadays* . They didn't compose it though - but I'm sure there are still many excellent songwriters out there too.

[@TexDrinkwater]

At the gym I go to, at least half of the music has samples from decades ago, and my 30-something trainer is always surprised when I say something like, "Oh, those horns are sampled from Chicago 'Street Player'".

[@ninod1502]

All the good riffs have been taken

[@otto7232]

Same reason they can't read cursive writing

[@2151abell]

That is just UNBELIEVEABLE ! I am BLOWN AWAY ! Absoulty PERFECT on every level fella's

[@81jbear]

One of my fav Allman Brothers tunes - best jam tune of all time!

[@reddsshaker3477]

Nailed every part. Eyes closed, THAT’S Dickie Betts!

[@johnknorr1140]

When I was working, I used to start my day listening to this song now that I’m retired that brings back a lot of memories. Thank you for playing that.❤❤ awesome

[@gregerb1340]

These guys never cease to amaze me... Absolutely spot on. Wow! ❤👏👏👏👏👌👍👍👍👍🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

[@darrellswiger6335]

The Allman Brothers were one of my favorites when I was growing up. You guys nailed it. You're band is so tight and you never miss a beat....

[@reydalupan8460]

Standing ovation for this cover is well deserved….congratulations LLB.

[@3landii]

Perhaps my favorite Allman Brothers song and you guys knocked it out of the park! Outstanding! Bravo!

[@pradipchaudhuri9240]

This is the best cover I have ever heard of this songs!! FANTASTIC!!

[@user-fu9vj9ix3g]

Dickie Betts would be proud. Absolutely flawless tribute.

[@Xpyburnt_ndz]

Jessica has always been my happy time song!!! GR8 job guys!!!!

[@dannyholder9452]

Dicky Betts knew what he was doing! LLB that was AMAZING! Dicky is smiling down on that one!!! PEACE FROM SHELBYVILLE TENNESSEE!

[@Avatar1946]

If you heard them playing this on the radio you wouldn't know it wasn't the original. Spot on, as usual. Thank you all.

[@climberat1]

Every…single…note…was……perfect.

[@tfl1078]

One word...chills. One of my personal favorite songs of all time and y'all nailed it. Thanks and keep it going!!

[@markspraker6873]

WOW! Just wow! This made me happy cry a bit. Excellent job by everyone and perfect time to release this. Mr. Betts would be honored.

[@Mike-Olds-1]

The song that says it all without saying anything. Beautiful Thank you 🙏

[@garytrussell2802]

The energy with the way they covered the song just like The Allman Brothers back in the day is awesome 👌

[@jimcarpenter965]

Note perfect! What an amazing group of musicians!

[@independentmusicguy]

Note for note perfection and you got the tempo changes just right, too. More Allman Brothers, please!

[@briannorwell202]

I closed my eyes and was taken back to the Allman Brothers playing this. Flawless

[@garywatson3778]

One thing about a monster instrumental is that everybody gets a chance to show off a little. This demonstrates there is not a weak link among you. FANTASTIC STUFF!!!

[@lindabergman3127]

Got that right🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@chuckoaks6756]

How can any modern music be played at this level. The '70 was the Pinnacle of modern music.

[@Frontdesk99]

"Modern music" is for 95% something any chimpansee with a symthesizer/sampler can create. The 70s and 80s were on a whole different and much higher level.

[@LTSOM1188]

Man what a tremendous performance! The guitar work is note for note awesome!🤩

[@1matiasariel]

Dayum! This is brilliant on so many levels. Great job Gentlemen.

[@bubola59]

Flawless cover……absolutely perfect! Smile from ear to ear!!!!

[@4LowRocks]

Beautifully executed! What more can be said? I loved it.

[@johnkump4282]

You all are unreal perfection again. Truly amazing.

[@amciiYou]

This is just so good to hear again. Guitar is so clear. Drum and bass are spot on. Thank you.

[@kpete9219]

For a moment I thought I had been Raptured and this is where I landed! Thanks for an Allstar performance of yet another favorite of mine.

[@mammyrammer4209]

There's nothing y'all can't play. Nailed it!

[@davidhollfelder9940]

One my all time favs. Brings back memories, listening on 8 track, driving to community college .. ‘74 in my first car.

[@cactuscanuck6802]

Man, when the Allman Brothers write a song that cooks like this one, its like a freight train thumping along! And LLB is unstoppable!

[@jseverett]

PERFECTION, ALL of the band! The organist/pianist is also very amazing! I love this band! ❤️👌

[@ronhatch6853]

Wow ! How can you not happy listening to that song. Always my favorite driving song. It is a pretty difficult play but as always you guys nailed it.

[@jayg3559]

That was the BEST!!! Dickey would have been proud! I vote for that being on the summer concert set list ! Thanks.

[@lfm4man]

Just beautiful. 🥲 My favorite song from the first rock album I ever owned.

[@Hammer8308]

Beautiful, you see the heads bobbing, the legs moving, the feet dancing, and the smiles. You guys make such beautiful music and it sure looks like you have a great time doing it. THAT makes it very special each time!!!!

[@memstuff4634]

Were you watching the same clip? Where were all these smiles you talk about? Great playing but it didn’t seem they were actually enjoying it.

[@Hammer8308]

@@memstuff4634 yes I am watching, again, and again, I see enjoyment and satisfaction on their faces, and in their motions. This group doesn't do anything that they don't enjoy

[@geofftipton6210]

Spot on timing & again, musicianship is superb!! Duane, Greg, Dickie would all be proud of this magnified cover 🎉❤

[@geofftipton6210]

Also the fella on the acoustic guitar sure looks alot like Zac Brown! Lolol

[@markbosnick8006]

Yeeeeeeeah! Thank you guys for letting me relive my youth all in one place. Whenever I see a new vid from you, I already know, “this is gonna be good.”! Play on guys, play on.

[@Razorcat3]

Just freaking awesome. I rode an elevator after a concert once with Berry Oakley. He was gone by this release. Love the Allman Brothers

[@AtlantaSoundGuy]

Absolutely perfect in every way. What an absolutely glorious tribute.... Y'all have seriously outdone even yourselves.

[@chuckrg550]

OK guys, I’m a long time fan here and although I was never a huge ABB fan, I’m very familiar with their music and I just have to say that you guys put me on the floor with this one. Roger replicated about every note of the Betts solo with pinpoint accuracy. I’m blown away.

[@awlthatwoodcrafts8911]

"That was swingin'" -Uncle Bob, That Thing You Do Randy really held down the low end with one of the busiest bass lines one can imagine.

[@billreynolds2221]

Best instrumental piece these folks have ever done. Flawless rendition of a true classic. Just wow.

[@everydaypatriot1083]

Wonderful musicianship by all... thanks!

[@davidtoups4684]

Best cover of this song I've ever heard. He absolutely nailed that guitar solo!!

[@orneryhombre9078]

Several sets of goosebump laden body rushes, Gentlemen. Outstanding. Bravo

[@kenhargreaves1018]

AWSOME ...Thank you Stephan and Roger along with the rest of the LLB crew

[@mikepitts7224]

Amazing job as always. First class musicians having fun and paying tribute to great music. Thanks for all the time practicing, videoing, playing, editing and mixing. It is very much appreciated.

[@dakotaslim]

Perfection off a timeless classic. Pretty sure Dickey enjoyed that.
