I was at this show, and that song blew me away.........such a heartfelt cover

[@superdriver777]

Derek's expression at 2:27 says it all.... This is my favorite version of this song, and I remember my half-uncle whenever I hear it. We lost him when he OD'd at 25, when I was 18, after trying to get clean multiple times. It is a beautiful, haunting song -- and while it always seems to end too soon, and you wish you could call to them and tell them to play another verse -- that's it. That's the point. Music is a powerful drug, one that acts on emotions, and this song conveys those awful emotions my family (and, unfortunately, many thousands of others) experienced better than any other.

[@daveandpentarnowski4517]

"ends too soon".... Too true. That observation kind of adds another level to this tune, doesn't it?

[@allieneyates5070]

It's hauntingly Beautiful and too true... I have lost many people in my life from drugs... I definitely feel Greggs voice puts so much emotion in this song it touches your soul...

[@claudiochiarini9793]

Quiet desperation. The solo in this version is unbeliveble. Masterpiece.

[@jasestrong]

By far the best acoustic cover of this song!, the Vocals are haunting and painful in a sense. The guitars 🎸 are better than anyone I heard. And this song just reaches inside me, I had a leg amputated and was on morphine for a while, to long, and it no long gave me any pleasure, I just needed it to function. So I can relate to this song, and it’s so true. May anyone fighting addiction keep fighting one day at a time, I like to go from meal to meal, something I learned in the army. God bless you all!

[@allieneyates5070]

God Bless You and Good Luck

[@briand.peterson2988]

The acoustics, slide guitar (Derek Trucks is awesome) and singing on this is tremendous! Love Neil Young songs!

[@rubycat13]

Gregg sings this from his soul. You can hear the pain in his voice.

[@peteralbert9560]

When I hear that Neil Young song I get tears in my eyes. Thanks Gregg, Wayne & Derek

[@Harpplayer504]

You mean Warren?

[@peteralbert9560]

@@Harpplayer504 Oh sorry, yes!!!

[@davehock1976]

Much love to all My fellow recovering addicts and also prayers for the sick n suffering addicts still in the grips of addiction.

[@fredjohnson7588]

one day at a time, thats all we can do

[@cocktails7483]

🙏🙏

[@J.Dove3D]

God bless Gregg Allman's soul. A great musician and missed.

[@ech1966]

Gregg just really pours his soul into this; a guy who was there and made it back.

[@dangerousd9187]

Sounds great

[@kentborges5114]

MR ALLMAN CONTINUES TO SING FROM THE HEART ! RIGHTEOUS !

[@angeloiodice9304]

Hauntingly beautiful and poignant because he personifies this piece of music.

[@KkBo15]

Means so much to me! My son! Thank God he's still here.but he went through hell!.

[@keithsaulsbury4304]

I don't have the words to describe how great this performance was. Greg sings this as only a man who has been there could. incredible.

[@buffaloblues2207]

No one knows better than Greg. Killer Show and Cover---WOW!!

[@gazzzza]

We all live in a sheltered world i only came across this version just now ,,, i play this myself and thought that only Neil could do it justice ,, now wow! feeling a bit like a dick wad for not knowing about this version from Gregg and Warren and Derek , rest in peace mr blues/soulman , Gregory LeNoir Allman

[@kurtlarch]

I love this Neil Young song but You! Thanks Gregg, Warren & Derek

[@DarkeningSkies1]

Warren, man. Warren.

[@Rennyblue]

Holy fuck Derek .. does he even know how phenomenal he is?

[@mtndewman1022]

just curious, does anyone else get angry when people randomly cheer during a song, especially when it gets quiet? how can someone hear such a heartfelt song like this, written about a friend lost to drugs, and their reaction is to yelp and screech? such disrespect to these talented men pouring their hearts out for us

[@elizabethlinsay9193]

Yes. It is very disrespectful, especially if they are singing about someone close to them.

[@seantuari2415]

"Some of you don't understand" ... right to the cheering crowd

[@Deliquescentinsight]

A lot of people view music, and concerts like a big party, they have little musical acumen or innate understanding, so they scream to feel they are being noticed it is like an inability to suspend their own ego, like a mob of jocks at a football match, we all have different ways of showing appreciation, theirs is just very irritating and why I don't attend many concerts these days.

[@jpbmjordan]

I go to a lot of concerts and it’s getting worse. I think the problem is social media and smart phones. They have given everyone a short attention span and the need to be the center of attention at all times.

[@DaveLaMont1]

Not in this case

[@KillDevilBear]

so deep, could make a damn chill bump weep ... the real deal

[@unclewillie1866]

😔thank you BROTHERS,thanks a lot.

[@larrycourtney8893]

Dammit, gives me the chills, everytime I listen to these guys play this song, it could have been written by Gregg, at certain points in his life, amazing.

[@hs7695]

Wie großartig ist das denn? Eines der besten Auftritte beim CR-Festival 2013! Ohne großen Firlefanz und Derek Trucks im Hintergrund brilliant!

[@josephhann8844]

Oh dear god that was great. Tears in my eyes.

[@richardraybould6928]

What a great voice, loved it for 50 years, thanks GA. I never had the pleasure of seeing Duane, but every time I see and hear Derek, and I don't mean this disrespectfuly to anyone, I just think Duand Allman reincarnate, man can Derek play! And Warren Haynes is massively underrated. A great player, understated but always on the money.

[@jasonmiller2962]

You can definitely see the influence Duane has on Warren and Derek and so many others. I get chills to this day every time I hear the song Free Bird and Ronnie Van Zant dedicates it to Duane

[@coolbeanz1918]

A great compliment to Neil Young.

[@aschiavello07]

Happy Birthday in Heaven! They must have some band up there.

[@awineguy4715]

My favourite non Neil Young version of this song. Hands down

[@halfaday1]

I caught you knockin' at my cellar door I love you, baby, can I have some more Ooh, ooh, the damage done. I hit the city and I lost my band I watched the needle take another man Gone, gone, the damage done. I sing the song because I love the man I know that some of you don't understand Milk-blood to keep from running out. I've seen the needle and the damage done A little part of it in everyone But every junkie's like a settin' sun.

[@allieneyates5070]

AWESOME THANKS !!

[@18winsagin]

Like a setting Sun , so Damn sad but God knows it so true.😭

[@kfirie]

Nothing like good ole southern rock in New York city!

[@richardlaanstra9782]

my eyes get a little moist each time i hear this

[@Lost-xl6im]

- Milk-blood refers to a heroin shot. Some heroin users fill a syringe with a heroin mixture that has a white (“milk”) colour. Then they stick the needle of the syringe in a vein and pull the plunger to check if they are inside the vein

[@joto1963]

haunting, RIP Greg

[@SusanDoran]

wow....damn! RIP, GA.

[@daviddranginis5940]

Solid Work. What a treat

[@jimronsivalli1675]

Best rendition perhaps because we know what happened to Greg.

[@curthott1317]

God bless the ones struggling....

[@FinalCurve]

RIP

[@danielcardoso4263]

Espetacular!

[@benbarclay5546]

This song, no matter who does it, always ends about 2:30. Too soon. When I was a kid it was the first chords I taught a guy who went on to be a guitarist for his whole life.

[@Deliquescentinsight]

This song has been the beginning of many guitar player's journey-it was like the first song many encounter that has a true heart-level to it!

[@charlotteprom2889]

Might be better than Neil Young's original. Maybe Greg Allman has some personal experience that sings through.

[@dollydagger7502]

Charlotte Prom maybe?

[@Bubbadew]

Charlotte Prom Gregg had several years of drug and alcohol addiction. I’d say he related to the song very well and it definitely shined through in his performances. RIP

[@grateful86]

Long live Gregg

[@dknj5962]

How do you do a Neil song better than the original? Ask these guys...

[@cfire99]

You don't do it better. Just different

[@jamesmckenna5515]

i have 1 young friend left

[@robindoerr6302]

omg

[@susanb5058]

Yes I agree 100%, it’s completely disrespectful and if you were fully in the moment of the music you’d not want to miss one note

[@ianj9798]

how powerful

[@photonrayswaves]

Just can't touch Neil Young's vocals.

[@barilawson8982]

Yep sitting out side

[@angeloiodice9304]

That was real.

[@jadelka111]

marne

[@andrewbowen6875]

This song has taken on an even more desperate meaning than ever given the opioid and now fentanyl crisis that has ravaged America. I mean the dope they using now is so vile and cut with things that nobody stands a chance on it
