The Allman Brothers Band - Desdemona

[@jamesschmitz6644]

One of the most soulful songs ever made.

[@skillsetter1017]

Just don't get no better than this!!!!!

[@believer2223]

Really?!, 18 people actually down voted this. Who are you, lol💚 🍄Best concerts EVER attended were The Allman Bros♥️

[@believer2223]

Gov't Mule baby♥️

[@believer2223]

Also Derek fucking rocks this shit!♥️

[@lapalmeal]

In ference to the haters: There's an ass for every seat. Phenomenal guitar work. Warren's guitar is worthy of Dickie Betts. I saw Warren in Govt Mule . Part of Willie Nelson Show. Hes lost a lot of weight and was in fine form. Derek Trucks ever respectful, of the music and who's band he's playing in. Excellent solo without grandstanding.

[@peterbartolomeo5542]

They can jam for hours non stop. Simply the best American Blues / Rock band ever.

[@Phillmo8]

when I first saw this trucks solo i almost pissed my pants I think this is one of my favorite solos of all time just the grace of the hands and the way this goes sounds like a voice singing its amazing!!!!

[@billturner4427]

Three of the best guitarist and they let Greg do his thing. Where are the rest of you Allman Brothers band fans? Are you all dead?

[@forrestmark805]

we are all so blessed to have had the allmanbrothers band r.i.p greg and butch duane and berry no band has ever had such an impact on me

[@lyonsmt11]

Amen to that.

[@mikeyznsacto1]

Another amen to that I got live at Fillmore East in 1971 and I was locked. The Brothers and especially Gregg’s Music are an inextricable part of my life

[@MrRazorchampion]

@@mikeyznsacto1 And thank God for Dickey Betts

[@believer2223]

Yessss! Saw them quite a few times with my ex. RIP

[@peterbartolomeo5542]

Led Zeppelin the Allman Bros Frank Zappas early Crazy guitar work. .I mean these guys created the term Southern Rock. Greg's voice is so unique. You'd swear he was a black blues vocalist

[@jaikumarvenkatchari3838]

Magical performances by Oteil,Derek and Warren.

[@michaelokolochidi8845]

Remain appreciative of what the Allman Brothers did put together.This here draws delights in emotions.All remain outstanding!!!

[@kenperkins7921]

I remember watching this on one of the late night shows before they all the shows crashed and went to hell too bad the younger people will never experience, greatness!

[@leevancleef358]

I ran into Gregg in a strip joint in Daytona in 1986...2pm on a Tuesday...we were the only ones there! had a drink with him....amazing!! This might be the most amazing live performance I have ever seen!

[@KF-tx7pw]

This will always be the song I would sing in the car with my dad RIP Gregg

[@fuggster1]

Absolutely incredible. I just. Oh my. Gahhh LEEEE

[@dragonmeddler2152]

God, I miss 'em. 49 years my favorite band.

[@scottnutter9163]

If this doesn't touch your 💜 and soul you have niether for 🎶🎶🎶

[@yvonnelaurenty6427]

Always loved powerful,soulful work with ABB, here also. But I've never heard Derek better. The song's unusual changes pull the musicians into such wonderful places. They do it great service.

[@billturner4427]

Oh my gosh! I have watched this since it first came out an it never gets old. He was a an American icon

[@arringtonjenkins]

Let's not forget how smooth Derek tapped that note on the fretboard right before he pulled out his slide.

[@afj617]

Both guitarists nearly bring me to tears. But, I personally connect with Warren’s playing and soul. He leaves a lot of space in his solos which I think makes the licks even more effective. Miles left more space than anyone but man, I don’t even know what to say. Also Santana Live in south america is some of my favorite guitar playing if anyone wants to check something out.

[@donamick1057]

i will miss warren haynes in the allman brothers. simply brilliant!

[@lillyboldlyshewhispers7145]

Gregg Allman, s soulful vocals. 🎶💙 music at it's best!

[@chrismnj]

This song makes me miss Butch Trucks so much... I love putting the headphones on and listening to the studio version. Such fine drumming on this track.

[@gorkimaximum8170]

All of them, Jaimoe, Butch and Marc, where allways the back sound of The Allman Brothers, but not the less important for the band. They all made a good work as ever in Desdemona, but don't forget Oteil playing the bass.All musicians in the band were and are the best on his instrument.

[@Luvmykidz03]

Amazing guitarists! I love the Allman Bros. Band

[@SerenGlo]

An absolute work of art !!!

[@Phish1995]

All these cats have a special calling. Greg, God rest his soul. Butch, the same. Duane and Berry as well. The remaining with Greg kept it going. Warren and Oteil and Derek. God I miss the Brothers and what could've been.

[@kenperk9854]

When a dying Gregg made his final trip to Muscle Shoals, Alabama to record Southern Blood in the same studio big bruh made his first mark in, it was great to have him back but a sense of sorrow enveloped the entire little town. Everybody had heard about his bad health and knew the end was near. One of the local TV stations gained access Rick Hall's fabled Fame Studios (the video is available on KZbin)where almost 50 years earlier in 1969, Duane had talked "Wicked Wilson" Pickett into covering Hey Jude and kick-starting Southern Rock. Now Gregg would complete the Family circle. They got a short clip of Gregg at work but it just couldn't be him, so frail and weak. At that moment, there was no doubt he was in worse health than we thought. Rick Hall, who had been one of Duane's early mentors was there to produce the project. Not long afterward, Gregg passed, followed soon after by Rick Hall and another Muscle Shoals circle had been completed. I HATE Father Time and would love to punch him in his jaw but he's always been undefeated and always will be.

[@cartajulian1]

Coltrane's "Pursuance" off Love Supreme 5:55 - 6:02. Straight genius playing right there.

[@treyvillafane5349]

+Julian Carta great ear! That is *so awesome!*

[@hivicar]

"My Favorite Things" 4:12-4:19!

[@CC.Custom.Leatherworks]

quick - someone make a new movie on his life and use this in the closing credits!

[@1russian]

My favorite "NEW" Allman Brothers song!!

[@mikeyznsacto1]

1russian yep mine too. It was Stormy Monday until this song came out

[@suzannecpruyn]

Me too!!!

[@Adnomery_Research_LLC]

If you Ike this version, listen to the one that is 1103 long here on KZbin. It is far better than this one. This is my favorite band, and this is my favorite lineup of this band, but I didn't like this version at all. Everybody has their own taste, I surely understand that, but when I came to look at these comments after hearing the song, I anticipated a lot of criticism. Derek was unique, as usual, but I don't know ...this one just not for me. The 11:03 version is my favorite version of all tie by far. On that one, I give Derek a 8 out of 10, and Warren a 9.5 out of 10. This one gets a 4 and 3. Let my murder begin 😳

[@peterbartolomeo5542]

Warren Haynes is simply BADDASS. I mean this guitar band has some kickass players. Duane Allman and Dickey Betts ..my personal favorite ....Berry Oakley on bass and move ahead to Warren and Derrick Trucks. Allman Brothers Band I e loved this PERFECTION this priceless combination of Master players .two kickass drummers and this voice Greg and his electric organ .... Hooked me in 1970-71.

[@paulferris662]

I am speechless. And in high quality too. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@mskat2648]

If you listen starting at 2:47 you can hear the big influence John Coltrane's "my favorite things" had on the improvisational modal chord changes in this song.

[@JACKDELIEGE]

Je ne me lasserai jamais d'écouter ça!

[@CzPW]

Dwóch genialnych gitarzystów w genialnym utworze.

[@MemphisConservative]

This reminds me of hitting up the various clubs on Beale Street & hearing similar caliber jam sessions. SIMPLY AMAZING!

[@JohnDavis-jh6lu]

Was there ❤️

[@tim72575]

In memory of Butch Trucks.

[@yvonnelaurenty6427]

Meant the first line below to say Warren 's powerful , soulful work with ABB. Pardon the error.

[@jerryferraiuolo5002]

RIP my brothers!

[@denysstryker3751]

One one the to five great influences in my life

[@js6729]

I saw them on this tour at the Woodlands in Texas...Simply amazing!

[@jakesewell6017]

if a rapper watched this, he would sit in the corner of his room and think about what went wrong in his life.

[@eddy71454]

Just cut to the chase and move up to about 3.20. As good as the other Allmans have been for decades, Derek has taken them to something higher.

[@TheSecondNature]

I get what you're saying but why miss Greg's singing? it's as great as anything else here

[@inspector7112]

eddy71454 give me a break

[@martinmosher1041]

eddy71454 ummm, no

[@anestojaga6442]

In the words of John Mayer: Derek Trucks' guitar sounds like a female singer from the 50s belting it out.

[@cornfilledscreamer614]

While she's throwing up.

[@micheledimartino3879]

Bellissima!

[@mikereynolds3294]

Warren starting out on les paul and ending up on a 335 shows you the depth of the guitar work on this tune

[@savantdisgrace4581]

Thank you for uploading this performance.

[@croughsjacques8088]

Thanks for sharing! I have the full DVD, incredible, amazing....

[@Luvmykidz03]

So all the musicians were amazing in that performance!

[@jimmygiles1153]

+Cynthia Cisneros (A day in the life of) This band is probably my favorite of all time. (until the last 2 years when Pearl Jam is right there - I discovered PJ late in life! lol) I been listening to the Brothers since 1973. I know I am old....heheheh.....but I just missed them with Duane on slide. My sisters and brothers partied with them and were of the Hippie Generation that did the Piedmont Park Free concerts with the Brothers. I have been to many of their shows.....The last incarnation with Derek and Warren is to me right there with the orginal line up. What amazing soulful music to live my life to. I am blessed and ABB blessed me. I just saw your post and your smile and had to reply with some small token of written testament as to what this band has meant to me. Music is such a soul soothing experience.

[@LCarpetron76]

What a terrible loss for real music. RIP Gregg Allman.

[@kevinjoly7192]

Someone have ever noticed that Warren Hayes start the song with a Les Paul and finished it with a 335 ?

[@musicbytambo]

Yeah he tends to do that on the live versions I’ve seen on this song, I think he shoot for more semi hollow jazz sound on the solo of this song but I think he likes the Les Paul for the intro and the verses.

[@paulferris662]

@@musicbytambo Interesting.

[@paulferris662]

There was another version of Desdemona up after this one so I watched it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nauYnWVvibaopZo As soon as they get into the instrumental portion of the song you can see Warren trade his Les Paul to his tech for his 335.

[@billturner4427]

Hoorah!

[@adelson33]

Bon bagay!

[@Phish1995]

Oteil be trippin. He's admitted it many times. Cool. Keep on hittin the note

[@SerenGlo]

The kids good. But let's not over look Warren his right there playing his heart out as well!

[@metalpaco3134]

100% my brother

[@robertdoerr2599]

This version of the band is almost has good as the original. I can close my eyes and see both Duane and dicky.

[@patcarroll8292]

Derek Trucks and Eric Johnson need to face off head to head in the Smooth Off 2020. Winner gets Keith Stone status.

[@fredgriggs1057]

AND WHEN I ORDER MY TICKET AND THEY WONER WHY I PAID THE PRICE FOR FRONT ROW TICKETS DEAD CENTER THE MUSIC SAYS IT ALL WORTH EVER PENNY OF IT

[@marshallkiser2637]

Does anyone else hear “take 5” in the solo.

[@armandopace8559]

Pezzo bellissimo. Un blues che si trasforma in un pezzo modale. Dereck cita anche My Favourite Things alla Coltrane. Geni assoluti, giù il cappello per questi straordinari musicisti!

[@murraygibson4123]

[@mcdarkness4779]

Since when is a midnight moon burning brightly on a rainy night? Great song otherwise! :)
