Marcus representing the South on this one in a way that would make the Brothers proud

[@SuperMcabral]

Would make Duane and Dicky, Derek Trucks very proud!

[@thomasfourounjian3805]

One drummer doing the work of two. Hats off.

[@longroadproductions9242]

Now that's talent, I used to do the drums for this for my own band lemme tell you it wasn't easy

[@1perfectpitch]

Love a drummer who knows how to hold the sticks. You can't do those left one handed rolls holding the stick like a hammer.

[@genewilliams617]

AND he is using traditional grip as well!!!!

[@genewilliams617]

@@longroadproductions9242 fortunately for me, the only band that I was in that was brave enough to pull off the song, was when I was playing double bass. I had a unique style, in that I incorporated percussion style drum kit patterns that proved to be very effective. This drummer is a monster for sure.

[@danadams8373]

Like how he had a quote from Bonham's "Bonzo's Last Stand" in his solo section.

[@karlsinclair9918]

I felt scofields part was where it went another place and I actually was dancing around the kitchen, cooking dinner. Marvellous.

[@AndrewOlsenMusic]

That chord rundown by John Scofield starting at 7:20 blows my mind hahahah

[@FrazerJones71]

Great to see Sco getting down and dirty(ish) on an Allman's tune but Marcus nails it for me, what a talent!

[@adriennelee1520]

Absolutely. total out shone the others

[@bokononx4606]

he's great no doubt, but the Soulive dude himself is no slouch chopswise, more dynamic and equally interesting. And, of course, Sco is one of a kind, unmatchable.

[@timemerson2691]

I would have loved to see this live. Super talented group. Oh and John freaking Scofield. Are you kidding me.

[@bryanblack526]

Why would I kid when I've seen the man who wrote it perform it, this is trash.

I jus wanna go see some live music.....again....sigh

[@timflatus]

John Scofield: this music has a fantastic lineage. Marcus King: This music has an incredible future.

[@yvonnelaurenty6427]

Tim Hawthorne: thanks for reminding of this tunes great lineage. Who'd a thunk that the self-described southern country boy (DB) would write something way back in the Duane days of the ABB that is a timeless treasure for guitarists of all ages?

[@Wetstache]

Yes.

[@stephenrice8986]

I'LL SECOND THAT EMOTION MR. SCOFIELD - YOU ARE FAR FROM SUCKING TOO!!!

[@stephenrice8986]

Oh, that was Tim, NOT John - well I'll stick with the comment anyway - Duane (and now Brother Gregg) was/were smiling down on The Brooklyn Bowl the night of June 15th, in the year of our Crazy Guitar Solo Lord 2017!

[@stephenrice8986]

Can I get an Amen for Alan Evans, Neal Evans, Eric Krasno , otherwise known as the mighty SOULIVE!

[@seanbear69]

Scofield found that knob and turned it up to 11. Huge props for structuring his solo around blues licks and grooves when he could have just shredded modal jazz scales all night long.

[@danshramo2648]

He doesn't do that though. He's way more creative.

[@beatnik5170]

Absolutely fantastic 'Lizzy' Version...Sco is one of the finest guitarists nowadays.

[@nicolasvaucenat7978]

Scofield speaking with his guitar, telling a story.amazing

[@jrednik]

Three amazing guitarists... but Sco is a bad, bad man.

[@allenkennedy6748]

There is something strange about comments about guitarists. Commenters want to display knowledge about music or skill level or “competition”. I think the contest is over. All these guys won. It is really cool that Marcus wants to play with John and vice versa. I think musicians are like parrots: people always want see parrots “do their tricks”. The bird sits there very intently watching, wanting to learn something interesting and new. Musicians are up there speaking their special language. They are intensely intent on everything. We’re lucky to see spontaneous combustion like this. Thank you. And fire the “lighting director”. Did he not show for the sound check and block the lighting. He definitely isn’t at a talent level commensurate with the on stage talent.

[@SC_musicfan]

Wow! Starting at the 3:00 minute mark will change your life. Duane and Dickey would be proud.

[@grrakkh4459]

wow what an unexpected treat, Scofield and Marcus King together! thanks for the upload!

[@yvonnelaurenty6427]

Were you listening Dickie? Peace and love to you, especially for this awesome, time-honored composition.

[@adriennelee1520]

Marcus King.... shines in any group.

[@wolframhohmann1300]

One of my personal "discoveries" in the past two years. Man, how could I not realize him earlier.

[@danshramo2648]

Did anyone else notice that the two guitar players probably played 8 or 10 rests between them and Sco played 2 or three in the first 20 seconds?

[@marcwoolf465]

Neil Evans is playing keyboard bass lines FYI. You’re watching and listening to some of the finest musicians anywhere! It’s not a competition, but style appreciation and personal preferences. From someone who’s seen the ABB 50+ times, this is a great version of Lizzie Reed!

[@zevpass]

Man they are terrific .. JS is still a beast and when he brings it he can smoke the joint still

[@GushTosh]

John is super and irreplaceable!!!

[@leemichaels406]

All great player but, smart move to get your solo in before John.... after that there would be much need for anyone else to solo LOL.

[@ricklanders]

Those are some serious chops and musicality all around, what a privilege to be able to see such a great performance

[@InTonalHarmony]

Scofield gave me the most chills.

[@Zonydeep]

Very dissappointing

[@liamnaughton9505]

What a guitarist Marcus, phenomenal, breathtaking.

[@jamespettersson9655]

true dat

[@Zonydeep]

Couldnt tune Duane's les paul.

[@liamnaughton9505]

@@Zonydeep You’re joking mate, you’re letting sentiment and nostalgia get in the way. Marcus has a far superior feel and technique to Duane. The asset test is, I could play everything that Duane could do but wouldn’t even know where to start with Marcus, his brain is like a computer and his jazz education sends him to a different world altogether from the everyday blues player.

[@TheHonudiver]

Marcus is wonderful but he is young. When he learns to put a little more space and nuance to balance his virtuosity he will truly be on another level.

[@greggcashmore805]

​@@liamnaughton9505totally agree...absolutely love the guitarist's from the 70s etc...Duanne, Clapton, Hendrix etc...BUT ...in all honesty some of the guitarists in the last ten years... Marcus, Trucks, Bonamassa....there on another level really...all influenced by the greats...but have taken it further

[@daskitten1]

Really missing Berry Oakley on this one....

[@kenselcer]

All great enjoyable musicians. Love John. He takes you somewhere else!

[@nylonsteel]

Quit this 'sco schoolin' shit .. they all channel different rivers into the same musical sea.

[@JohnnyJazzFreak]

Exactly. You nailed it. Each of these artists is excellent in their area. Each feels comfortable in their own skin, and that's an amazing thing to achieve in itself, and therefore each, having attained that state, is able to express themselves freely. They're all at a level. That's the point.

[@Forestien]

Sco could use some lessons on tone and effects anyway.

[@S7REULI]

@@Forestien his tone is awesome tho

[@Forestien]

@nacho - Sometimes it is. It’s great on A Go Go. Here, it’s too saturated in flange and chorus.

[@S7REULI]

@@Forestien duude his tone on hand jive is evrything

[@rogerkarlsson8526]

Much like the Finnish fusion guitarist Jukka Tolonen and his band Tassavallan Presidente in the 1970s! Nice Marcus King!!

Scofield: "Hold my beer"

[@seongomez4903]

Ya feel me? Scofield has so many incredible rhytmic and melodic ideas. Its CRAZY

[@jonRboy]

@@seongomez4903 Well, part of it's him, but a large part of it is the fact that he's a jazz guy and has a lot of 'stuff' to draw from. Stuff that is out of reach from players in the rock and blues box. Scofield can do all that stuff (the blues and rock stuff) + he can do the jazz stuff. More choices for him to draw from. With that said, I'm not saying jazz is great and the other stuff sucks...jazz just is more complex harmonically. I loved King's solo and in general blues rock playing.

[@sullyb23511]

People always gush over the various guest guitarists in these Soulive videos, and with good reason. They're all incredible. How about some love for Eric, though?! He's a monster!

[@BPB9973952]

Marcus has to be one of the best young guitarist to come up in a while

[@GoodMusicGoodMood]

He and Julian Lage are the future

[@saxonsteve]

Without Question! He’s only 24!!!!

[@Jay91Byrd]

Highly recommend seeing the Marcus King Band live. The whole band is full of an insane amount of talent at every instrument they play

[@taylorpelletier89]

Daniel Donato. Has a good 50 minute set from Denver on YT. Bunch of young dudes doing their own take of 60’s psyche country. Look him up. Out of Nashville. Kid plays cosmic country and can play some of the cleanest fast licks. He’s like Clarence White with some Garcia, Dickie and Duane thrown in there. Personally I find Marcus King and Gary Clark overrated, but it’s mainly because I’ve gotten tired of electric blues the past couple years. Delta blues rules all blues anyways… lol

[@Fire_Marshall_Bill]

I sat front row at a small theater maybe 5 years ago or so and watched him play from about 5 feet away. His view the whole show was my slack jawed dumbass. Went home and stayed up all night trying riffs I watched him play. Kids a fucking prodigy. For $30 it was the best bang for my buck since Gary Clark Jr. played 6th street. I just so happened while on vacation to walk in to a bar he was playing. The two luckiest shows I’ll ever catch. Everything’s right in this world so long these boys carry the torch lol.

[@intimidator.jb3470]

Awesome rendition, everytime i see a Scofield video i regret missing him @discoverjazz yrs ago. I've seen Marcus 2x, he's the future!!

[@Exileonbackroad]

That's not difficult reading...

[@jbdmb]

@@Exileonbackroad right? How can you even tell he is sight reading it? Doesn't sight reading imply it's the first time you are playing off the sheet music. Maybe it's his third time seeing the sheet music. I swear reading the commenters sound like people that played an instrument from 4th through 6th grade... and never picked up an instrument again.

Can’t hold a candle to Marcus .

[@jeffreyhubbard9740]

Bill Orme, I feel ya completely. To anyone who opined anywhere in the the comments linked to this video that either of the other two gentlement sharing the stage with Scofield here are superior or equal to his abilities, well, it's instantly clear that you just don't understand music with much depth or harmonic to scalar insight, and that's okay, up to a point. The thing is, though, that some here have gone far beyond that point, in making ridiculous statements such as, "Scofield can't hold a candle to Marcus King." I mean, that's actually hilarious. King has a nice, full rock tone, and dips his toes into jazz-fusion type phrasing with aggression and rhythmic confidence, if less harmonic acumen or true improvisational sophistication. In certain settings, I really like things I've heard from him. But, I'll tell you what, if you ever get the opportunity to watch both of these players under current discussion play on a non-modal jazz tune - say, a bop type standard like Cherokee or All the Things You Are, well, you come back to me and tell me if your position still holds, after that performance. And, if it DOES, I'll know all that I need to know about your musical education and knowledge. Perhaps one day, Marcus King will develop to the point where he could genuinely give Sco a run for his money in more challenging settings. But, I promise you, that time is some ways off still. Truly, it is.

I must have watched Marcus Kings solo at 3:00 bout 100 times...just insanely talented

[@donrodrigo8536]

Esecuzione pessima. 3 chitarristi molto scarsi.

[@anthonydiaz6894]

As a student of the guitar for 25 years ranging in studies of Pat Martino, Wes Montgomery Erick K, Trucks, Trey, Jimmy H, and many other fusion players my opinion is this. Marcus kings phrasing, dynamics, and over all execution was beyond these two. From a technical perspective Marcus’s technique was way above both of these amazing guitar Gods. Not sure if Marcus just jumped of the buss from a string of tours and was in the zone or what but he literally blew both of them out of the water. From a technical perspective I would say Jimmy Hearing and Derek T could definitely humble Marcus a bit. He’s literally so good fo his age. Throw down key changes every measure and I’m guessing John and Erick would look a lot better. I’ve seen both Erick and John at the top of there game and this ain’t it.

[@simoneroman546]

[@RayyMusik]

I don’t bet, and I didn’t say I could. Gregg did other things with his left hand, and isn’t a matter of technical difficulties anyway - just a lack of inspiration. Compare: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIuaoJ9rfririq8

[@davidgrout1056]

Three amazing guitar solos! I’m glad Scofield went last because no matter what came before in a song, he’s always going to take it somewhere else. After the super smooth phrasing and atonal ideas in the first two solos, he starts with his signature long, snaky phrases, enters Jeff Beck territory, and then has some fun with vowel sounds on the wah. Always funky and unpredictable, Scofield is a master who keeps getting better.

[@rowepiece37]

MKB is the GOAT

[@deanmadonia4044]

I love Marcus and I think he's an incredible player, buuuuut there are far too many other players that are more knowledgeable and skilled than him.
