The Allman Bros - Whipping Post - School of Rock All-Stars - Team 6 - Metro

[@Jay_Dahl]

The recording sound quality/mixing was terrible, but the music was great! I watched this about 20 times already, it's kind of addictive. I see lots of talent and enthusiasm here, and can easily imagine them becoming professionals, especially that vocalist with the resonant voice. She is singing vocals meant for a man (like Janis Joplin used to do), but she's wearing a dress, as if she is perfectly content being a woman. Very captivating! It makes me appreciate what these for-profit "Schools of Rock" are capable of doing. It would be interesting if these fine young people could try writing their own music, so we could see if there really is some magic there. They seem to have all the core elements necessary to succeed.

This is the very best live S.O.R vid. Tight ,,tight performance. Never thought I'd like a girl singing this song,,but she was damn good

[@klasseact6663]

This is the first time I've ever seen this...I've got goose bumps! *EDIT* I'm welling up watching the girl playing the red guitar, are you freakin' kidding me....WOW!

[@MidWestConcertVideo2]

She had a band called She-Ra in the Minneapolis area, but I think she's pursuing a career in either New York or Boston. She gave me goosebumps when I shot this.

[@brucewallace4337]

Yes she is very good this is a fantastic rendition. These kids are so lucky to play at the legendary Metro in Chicago which is one of the coolest venues in the Country the Bands that have played there B4 is like a who's who's

[@Armentitron]

Now THIS is the spirit of rock music

[@MidWestConcertVideo2]

Armentitron Look through my channel and you'll see a bunch of videos by various AllStars teams. They are the very best musicians in the program, selected via a series of auditions from more than 180 locations. They get a setlist three weeks before, learn their individual parts, then meet three days before the tour starts to rehearse as a group. Most of these players hadn't met three days before.

Well done !!! Girl playin the red SG is FANTASTIC !!!!!

[@MidWestConcertVideo2]

That's Claire Altendahl, and she is one of the top five best School of Rock guitarists I've ever seen.

[@arkady714]

This is serious business!!!

[@ernestoag7559]

Es espectacular la voz que tiene para mi tiene futuro como cantante la voz es de gente de color excelente viva chicago y el rock Lima Peru

[@MidWestConcertVideo2]

Congratulations to Claire Albensoeder from Chicago, Dan Hyland from Rocky River, and Pat Boland from Rocky River for once again making the School of Rock All-Stars!

[@MrTwister50]

I've watched a ton of these SOR videos and I'll tell you this without hesitation: this one is an instant Top Five.

[@MidWestConcertVideo2]

Claire Altendahl, the young lady on the red Les Paul, instantly became one of my favorites.

[@uncle-epicurus]

WOW! I was born and raised, and still live, in Macon, Georgia. The Allman Brothers Band calls Macon their home, so I'm a huge life long ABB fan. I've seen them play in Macon many times over the years and also have seen their shows in many other towns as well. I say all of that to preface the fact that these kids played an outstanding cover of Whipping Post! I've watched a lot of School of Rock performances on KZbin, and In my opinion, this is the best so far. The band and crowd seem to be more invested in this performance, and it definitely shows on this video. I am super impressed, and I enjoyed the heck out of this one! BRAVO!!!

[@MidWestConcertVideo2]

Frmr Christian I've been a huge fan of the lead singer ever since her first School of Rock show, but the one who absolutely knocked me out was the girl on the red SG. I swear this is true, I saw one of the teachers genuflecting towards her.

[@uncle-epicurus]

MidWest Concert Video Yes! she's definitely Badass! There's another female lead guitarist that I've seen in several SoR videos as well. I believe her name is Lauren Connor. She's also incredibly talented.

[@laurentsaint-martin9711]

@@MidWestConcertVideo2 I totally agree. She blows the show up. But in fact every of them are really awesome. But this girls with the red SG plays with all her soul.

[@oleandreasjensen5263]

Absolute awesome : )

[@AdrianoPedrasPreciosas]

Viva o Rock 💯💖

[@stratbluesman]

very nicely played !!!!

[@bigmamajama2829]

This is spectacular. Rick sounds great.

[@christianberrian2159]

This was a fantastic and surprisingly mature performance. Probably the first time one of these sor jams sounded like a legit club band to me.

[@williamcole7043]

All I can say is,,HOT DAMN THAT'S GOOD!!

[@MidWestConcertVideo2]

Thank you. She really is amazing,

[@MidWestConcertVideo2]

I posted this mainly because of the vocalist, Claire Albensoder, who is one of my favorite SoR singers, but the girl playing the red SG - quite possibly the best SoR guitarist I've ever seen. Where is she from?

[@kj6qvb]

She gets great ABB tone from that SG!

[@jimseals8659]

Yes to both statements. These kids are great and she can really sing!

[@Vaeltaja-Jussi]

❤️✌️

[@jimmccabe3150]

damn......

[@tdrewke]

Good work, great cover. Hits the heart and soul of the tune, I think. Besides, the bass player had me with those percussive opening notes, exact timbre I heard in Berry Oakley's playing. Odd audio mix though-- ABB would have more organ, less drums, I think. Made for some strange interludes in this cut.

[@MidWestConcertVideo2]

Unfortunately I'm pretty much at the mercy of the sound engineer at the venue. They tend to mix to supplement what's coming off the stage, and the guitar, bass and keyboards all have their own amplifiers.

[@tdrewke]

@@MidWestConcertVideo2 Tell me about it. I spent ~ten years on and off trying to get a good sound track onto the (mostly B&W) videos we shot at the old Capitol Theatre/Passaic. First thing I learned was that the PA (board mix) would be crap in terms of overall balance; no shock to me since I came from the rock concert touring sound systems business in the 1970s and 80s. I developed a technique of mixing a live mic or two with the PA mix and applying some compression/limiting. Sometimes this sounded great, sometimes it was total garbage, but it beat a straight board mix. But this does require someone whose only job is the sound track, and I get it that tiny budgets won't buy a sound person. It's never easy. But the glamour!

[@MidWestConcertVideo2]

@@tdrewke Unless I'm able to actually get my own customized mix I have one person with headphones tweaking it, I'm never going to get sound as good as my video.

[@textsmsmaster9884]

This is a 2013 SOR Team .. the talent of the older 2013 SOR Teams just blow away the more recent 2017-2018 teams .. I think real talent was recruited in earlier days than more recently where it seems parents pay just to get their kids on stage regardless

[@MidWestConcertVideo2]

That's not the case, it really isn't. I've been following the careers of all these kids. The one difference of 2013 is that this was a Midwestern team composed mostly of kids from Chicago and Oak Park - two schools which produced 11 AllStars each last year, and were scattered among all seven teams. Female guitarist with red SG was from Eden Prairie, the singer was from Chicago, etc. The absolute best guitarist I've ever seen was Connor Low from St Louis. Maybe it's just the water in the Midwest.

Uh,.Uh,.Uh, Uh, Uh.Uh, I am through with you young people, do ya hear me,.THROUGH!!, Through with ya'll, ya'll are just too much,. I'm getting up from the table,.and pushing that plate of ya'll away,.and "shooing", you off,.... off with you now, off with you.....,lol My God, are ya'll reincarnations??????? Timing ON TIME, didn't miss a beat, I swear., vocals, Girlll, you sound like you been through it, ok?, ...oh and by the way, I so kept thinking about Linda Ronstadt while watching you, you just put me in mind of her. She sang blues, And you so should tackle some of her work. "Blue Bayou", and "Your No Good. Look ,I'm probably like all those oldsters that had listened to Muddy Waters , T Bone, Led Belly, when they were young, and were old by the time Allman Brothers came along singing this song at just age of 19, 20, and like I'm reacting now😲😯, couldn't believe young people were pulling this off. Ya'll keep going,.but I'm through with ya, through now, you hear me????, THROUGH,..Peace and long life to each and every one of you. Enjoy,✌
