SMOKIN' VERSION - The Allman Brothers Band - In Memory of Elizabeth Reed - Germany 1991

Epic show of the Allman Brothers Band in Germany , I think is one of best guitar solo from Warren

[@Paul71H]

One thing I've noticed about watching Allman Brothers Band concert videos from various years: It doesn't matter if it's Duane & Dickey, or Dickey & Warren, or Dickey & Derek, or Derek & Warren -- you're going to hear some of the best rock guitar playing that you've ever heard.

[@daveknapp3710]

Absolutely. 😎

[@BernieYohan]

I saw Tedeschi Trucks in July and it was magical. May the Spirit of The Allman Brothers live on forever 🙏

[@1369jsj]

Your so right

[@Rational_Mind]

But the common denominator is Dickey 😎

[@Paul71H]

@@Rational_Mind I think they were still amazing during the many years that Warren & Derek were the two guitarists, after Dickey's unfortunate departure. But I agree that we have to give a ton of credit to Dickey. He is an amazing guitarist, he provided needed leadership to the band, and he wrote some great songs -- including what is arguably the best rock instrumental ever (In Memory of Elizabeth Reed).

[@cathystruska1558]

In Memory of Elizabeth Reed is fantastic the way it's played in this concert. Great guitar 🎸 work and the music stays with you. May Greg Allman RIP, but their music lives on even after 40yrs. This is one of the best guitar solos ever.

[@cathystruska1558]

This version blows me away, WOW! Dickey Betts is a incredible guitar 🎸 😍 👏 player. I agree with the idea of Dickey Betts , meaning it doesn't matter who he plays with, he's the best 😉! I can keep listening to this version over and over again without getting tired of listening to him play.

I would like to thank two entities. I would like to thank God for creating the Allman Brothers Band and I would like to thank the person who uploaded this video. This is one of the best versions of in memory of Elizabeth Reed that I have heard and one of the best drum solo versions I have heard. A massively underrated band, Dickey Betts a world-class guitarist, I can’t say enough about this band, they have been a favorite of mine for 40 years. As great as this version was and my favorite drum solo version, no version can beat live at the Fillmore East album for this song.

[@williambuchanan4623]

Underrated? I think they are universally somewhere in just about everyone’s top 5 rock and roll bands of all time. I am extremely grateful for them, as well. And Dickey probably was in Duane’s shadow - I guess that’s what happens when you are arguably the second-greatest guitar player of all time and you are in a band with arguably the greatest guitar player ever. What a band!

[@waltermull9598]

Most people don't give Dickie enough credit if not for him there would have been no allman brothers after Dwayne was killed Deckie Betts is a world class guitar picker I just don't think it's said enough!!!

[@SouthernRocker]

Dickey is probably the most under-rated guitarist ever. He lived in the shadow of the great Duane Allman, who admired him and his playing technique tremendously. Then Duane was gone and he must have felt somewhat abandoned by his untimely death but he still had the talent and the belief in the dream to step up and save the band from the immense tragedy they suffered, and did he ever! But he has been a cantankerous asshole at times and he's burned too many bridges, needless to say, along the way. I was glad to hear he made peace with Gregg before he died...

[@MeanGeneSanDiego]

I actually caught them during this period in Worcester in '90, a friend invited me, I didn't know much about the Allmans at that point. This was THE song that blew my mind. It was the fourth song they played, like a wave sweeping me up. Immediately I was mesmerized. I can still feel it. There was a tremendous amount of energy and awe in the audience. Are they any bands that can even remotely jam like this these days?! Those Germans must have been like 😳

For those that don't know. Dickey and Duane used to jam in a cemetery, and they played by a tombstone on which said "In memory of Elizabeth Reed"

[@oceanhedonist265]

Mike Van - "Elizabeth Reed Napier." 😃

[@yvonnelaurenty6427]

To Mike Van: Not actually. There is a telling of how this tune came about by DB to Dan Rather-- a story of how Dickey used to take a lady friend to that cemetery "to romance her" as he didn't have much money then to take her out properly. And then the X-rated version of the carnal pleasures DB enjoyed there with somebody's lady he was sneakin' around with, as told by Duane Allman. Their gravestone rendezvous was indeed inscribed "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed." No matter the telling, an amazing inspiration for this amazing rock instrumental.

[@charlesvonbocker5785]

Yvonne Laurenty Yvonne not exactly - the grave stone in reference is from Rose Hill Cemetery - Macon, Ga. The Grave stone simply says “Elizabeth Jones Reed” - wife of Briggs H.Napier. Dickey did indeed hang there with his gf, and the song is “In Memory of her” bc that was his spot etc. I have a picture from my last visit but can’t upload. Do a search - plenty of pics out there. Beautiful place if you ever visit.

[@kjoliver4125]

The grave just has her name on it, Elizabeth Jones Reed. It also has Wife of Briggs H. Napier. Her date of birth, and her date of death. I saw it two weeks ago. I think there was more hanky-panky going on there than jamming...

What a great version. As close to Duane's greatness as possible. I've been listening to rock for 40 years and nobody has moved me like the original Allmans and Duane. Not even the Beatles, who all things considered there can possibly be no arguement against. But Duane was so special and so great that this remake would make him proud - and as tremendous as it is, to me it doesn't quite surpass the original, which is no condemnation, but just how great the original is.

Amazing musicians! Did you catch Dickie breaking a string? No problem, as Warren picked him up, and he got another string in, and continued as if nothing had happened. Professionalism! Great band! Here now in the 21st century, music struggles to reassert itself past dancing fools, bad poetry and a beat to tap your feet to. But the music, American music, will never die! From this great land such music was berthed. Jazz, Blues, and Rock and Roll are as American as apple pie. The music will come back from where it has strayed, it always does!

Tested Truth: BINGO! And while much of Germany in its effete arrogance sneers at America..."But the music, American music, will never die! From this great land such music was berthed." -but one more reason for them to despise us for our incomparable greatness. For the lovers that night in Germany, however, they to this day wax fondly as they likely often do telling friends of that night when they were transported to a place they'd never been before or since.

Dickie Betts is the greatest, Skydog even said it “ I’m the famous guitar player but Dickie Betts is the real guitar player.” It takes talented musicians to jam like this. Warren Haynes definitely fits into that mode and I can’t say enough about Allen Woody driving that bass line! Skydog and Berry were smiling down on this performance!

[@coaltrain4423]

Dickey Betts was just a country boy with ability to play a guitar.Fate brought him into the circle of other country boys with musical abilities, and the Allman Brothers Band was born.Duane Allman is listed as the number two greatest guitarist of all time,and Jimi Hendrix holds the number one spot.But,I want to tell you that Duane Allman was constantly learning from Dickey Betts,and he from Duane.Dickey Betts has always been extremely underrated and inadequately recognized and respected since day one of his career.He’s gone now, but his music is still very much alive to the people who loved him and his work.

Dis you see Dicky's face after Warren finished his incredible solo? "what was that?" lol best version of this song.

[@waltertalbert1408]

Don't worry about Betts.....he's light years ahead of everybody......as good as Duane was.......but Haynes is damn good. Put it all together......the best damn band in the WORLD!

[@waltertalbert1408]

Plus Dicky wrote the whole mess! That takes a lot of talent.

[@stevenjones71]

@@waltertalbert1408 Hell yea!

ABB make my ears smile.

[@echojohnny714]

I disagree with the comment that Warren Haynes guitar solo may have been one of his best. It is his absolute best! He blew me the fuck away with that one and I'm an old Allman Brother fan from way back. Warren you made that one your own for sure!

[@yyz1500cc]

Smoking, indeed ... thanks sharing this.

[@michaelehrhart9670]

Excellent job, Dickey! You are awesome...

[@andrewking835]

When men become One with the instrument vibe& song a classic celebration of life

[@patrickbryant5224]

Dickey Betts you are amazing! Breaks a string, Warren comes in seamlessly to fill the gap while Dickey changes guitars, then Dickey comes roaring back, again seamlessly. Absolutely awesome!

[@1LaOriental]

Absolutely BRILIANT!!!!

[@donfilkins298]

Dammm. Was that Good!!

[@Hammer757]

awesome, thanks for sharing!

[@davidmattiford5209]

Unbelievable dickie Betts at his finest, Warren Hayes is rocking it to

[@GregKelley1956]

In 1976 use to set in, a bass player, with a bunch of guys that did Allman Bros. covers. This is my all time favorite song by them.

[@kevinshaferguitarsongs4435]

I don't normally double-comment -- but Dickey's energy and Warren's play were so complimentary yet different. Shades of Duane and Dickey!!!

[@rocsurgeon752]

One of the most played DVD'S in my archive. I miss the trading days....Waiting on packages...lists...etc.

[@drfranklippenheimer8743]

Smokin' is right! Holy fucking crap! Can you imagine being at that set? IMOER. Best rock tune of all time. Thank you, Duane. You wrote thiis. RIP.

[@TheSecondNature]

Dr Frank Lippenheimer don't want to kill your mood, and of course Duane is amazing and godlike, but Dickey wrote the tune

[@drfranklippenheimer8743]

I know. They actually state that fact in the supreme cut: Live at FIlmore East. Did I spell that right?

[@waltertalbert1408]

In a graveyard.
