@@ulfdanielsen6009 with respect I think he's way beyond just southern rock royalty

[@ulfdanielsen6009]

@@Bullittbl You may be right. I´m a metalhead so blues, bluesrock, southern rock normally is far from in my neck of the woods,- still I bow my head to him in awe. The man is a monster player.

[@ronroyer1888]

Such a Southern Soul indeed. Warren is a master in all forms of the word. His covers are amazing from the Sixties onward.

[@SimpleManGuitars1973]

When I was 14 in 1996 my dad took me to my first ABB show. We were front row, center, and I was having the time of my life. Warren noticed me because I was by FAR the youngest person up there and between songs he walked over to Dickey and pointed me out and they got a roadie to bring them an Eat A Peach shirt and Warren and Dickey walked to the end of the stage and pointed me out specifically and tossed me the shirt with a pick from each of them as well! I still have that shirt to this day and Warren is still one of my all time favorite players to ever live. What an absolute class act and pheNOMENAL musician. I still have my Hughes and Kettner Rotosphere because of him and will never part with it. Gov't Mule's second album Dose is still my favorite album of the 90's by any band and it's maybe the greatest jam band album ever. Awesome you guys got to hang with him!

The best Rig Rundown ever because Mike Stern is a monster player, has a million stories, and is one of the most kind-hearted and genuinely funny musicians to ever strap on a Tele and let it rip. Interviewing Warren Haynes, Robben Ford, Adam Levy and, finally, Mike Stern in the same year would be the guitar coup of the century!

[@jonpardoe]

Five minutes in and I already know this is going to be one of those episodes that end up taking me about 3 hours to finish, while I listen intently then play along a bit, get lost, rewind and come back around again. That is to say: my favourite kind of TPS episode ☺

I didn't know of Warren before this....I can't thank you enough for having him on. He just took me to the next 3 levels...

[@whiskersb5296]

Warren is a very important player to me. I started seeing the allman brothers in the late 90’s and have been following him since. It was like, wow, he’s not an original member, but they found him in the wild. That this young guy was able to lift this classic band was amazing.

[@martonjancsak]

What a suprise! The show is getting better and better every week.

[@admarhermans1]

Just during Warren’s opening music alone I’m thinking: this is probably the most dynamic guitar playing I ever heared on this channel! And it looks effortless...

Uncle Warren is the man! First saw him with the ABB on 8/26/90. First GM show was in ‘95. Have seen a ton of other shows including Xmas Jam, Phil & Friends, and a couple WHB shows. Going to see WHB again tomorrow. Met him several times. Hardest working, nicest guy in the business. He deserves every accolade he gets. There’s none better.

I was incredibly lucky to see him in the concert in Madrid. It had been years since I heard something so GLORIOUS, and this video is amazing. Congratulations!

[@SteveKirkpatrick-db4nf]

I met him once after an Allman Brothers show early on in his career with them in Birmingham, AL and he was humble and gracious. Flew on the same plane with him between Atlanta, GA and Birmingham a couple of times as well but gave him his space. I especially like what he did with the Warren Haynes Band (Man in Motion) but the Mule catalog is incredible. I was really glad to see him on TPS! Great job!

My son and I saw ABB with Warren Haynes at DTE Center near Detroit in 2007. Warren was the glue that night. A very memorable night.

[@danielr8932]

[@brettgl21]

Warren is so kind and talented. Years ago, he made my oldest son's year. We were standing right at the stage and Warren bent down and handed him a pick. Eddy was speechless. Great memory.

[@TheSecondNature]

Warren is one of the very few full package artists i can think of: he's absolutely top notch in the areas that in my book constitute a top class act. Top notch guitarist (as far as playing, improvising, comping and tone) top notch singer (powerful, soulful, gritty and remarkably reliable voice) and top notch songwriter (I particularly like his ballads and his acoustic work, where he showcases his strong lyrical and musical sensitivity). I think he's particularly underrated in the latter. He's one of my favorite songwriters ever, the incredible singing and playing almost feel like an added bonus. Maybe his songwriting is overshadowed by his jamming abilities, also considering how strongly tied he is to the American jam band scene, but the songs themselves are so strong in their own right

[@AdamGotheridge]

We are so lucky in this day and age to be able to kind of sit down in a room with a real master and just enjoy the music they create and have their thoughts behind it, and have a bunch of laughs along the way too. Not taken for granted at all! Dan and Mick, you did great, it's like you are "us" sitting in the room with him. And to Warren, holy shit man, every note just feels like complete joy and passion. Thank you so much for sharing. 🙏 You made my day or week or whatever. Really special. Music is such a gift to us. Bless all your hearts!

[@gregs8685]

Great interview. I saw them in ‘89 at the Beacon. They were incredible. I saw dozens of ABB shows throughout the 90s, mostly at the Beacon, and they were “on” almost every night. Warren was great. When Derek Trucks joined it added another dimension with the incredible slide.

[@scotdvorak8861]

Great Episode!!!! One of my all time favorites… Warren is that player that is so comfortable in his own skin, and has such a unique voice (vocal-wise as well as guitar). Few players have such command over dynamics and personal tone. Everyone can learn a thing or three, picking up on some Warren-isms. From the most blazing grooves to his most delicate lines. He just has it all!!

[@michaelcogdill9534]

When you see how many bands he played with you begin to realize his genius, there minds are like no other, I followed him for the last 10 years love hearing him play, thanks for posting

[@dukelevine6995]

This was great, thanks guys! And - To Warren’s Little Feat comment - Absolutely yes!! Got to see them a couple times in the 70s and still talk about how all the tempos were slower, more dug in, even heavier than the record versions, sure made a lasting impression.

[@saltpeter500]

Warren Haynes has been one of my favourites for a long time. A highlight was seeing him play with his band Gov't Mule, they did an awesome rendition of War Pigs, Warren was playing through a Soldano, what a tone!!!

Warren's song "Coal tattoo" has my favourite guitar tone ever, best example of "Violin tone" on guitar that I can think of. Got my guitar and slide at the ready for this one, legends all 3 of you!

[@LucasHaneman]

I first saw Warren on Austin city limits playing with the ABB when I was probably about eight years old. I’ve been guitar obsessed since I was about six so seeing him play at such a young age really blew my mind. Fast-forward to when I was in high school and I watched the video of the Dave Matthews Band live in Central Park, and I became obsessed with the way Warren played on “Cortez the killer “. Such emotion in that performance. Later on a few years ago, I had a chance to open for Dave and the band, and it was a special moment to say the least. As of the last few months, I’ve been getting into the LP thing, being mainly a Strat or telecaster guy for most of my life so far and it’s been a great learning experience, and one that I’ve enjoyed immensely. Thinking back to the first time I saw Warren play on Austin city limits. I can say that he was a major inspiration in the way I am approaching the single cut thing. This episode is incredible. Warren is not only a master singer, guitarist and songwriter, but a true genius when it comes to tone and volume control manipulation. So much room to explore all of this on an LP or 335.

[@DavidMcGarrity-p3m]

There should be an after the interview Dan and Mick reaction video. The guest leaves you guys come back and geek out about what you heard, what was learned, sounds etc. Even if it's just a few minutes... just some giddy fandom after the fact.

You guys are great at creating a relaxed, playful environment where legends such as Warren feel comfortable to experiment stuff live, with authentic fun and passion. Love your channel more and more every day, congrats! I saw Warren a couple of months ago in Zürich in a small venue playing into what I think it was the Magnatone amp he mentioned. I was blown away by his tone, it was incredible! I was close enough to the stage to hear the direct sound from his amp too, which I believe added to the magic :) Warren's voice was so soulful, and the whole band was fantastic: incredible sound and pocket, with a laid-back, warm feel and a lot of dynamics. Thanks Warren and Warren's band for the amazing experience!

[@johnsawyer6145]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! My favorite guitarist with my favorite KZbin guitar friends! When I first saw Warren Haynes play in 1997, it completely changed the way I listen to guitar.
