two of the best slide guitar players alive...

[@frankrichards3089]

For sure

[@rameshhansaravendra]

Better than 99% of music videos released today.

[@austinbmoon]

For some reason 0:23 is my favorite part. Just the fact that we could’ve just gotten a piece instead of the whole thing makes this video really special

[@devinwebb0]

Its guys like this that keep that torch lit

[@glockfan]

Bluesmen at their finest!

[@rameshhansaravendra]

. I watched this back in 2008 when it was first uploaded. It was just as beautiful then, as it is today. Timeless.

[@jf6122]

Ramesh Hansa Ravendra same!

[@generalruckus]

same.! never gets old. Timeless performace

[@xXhumberto4781Xx]

still watching it and lovin it, old friend is just gold...

[@S543-]

Absolutely

[@marcogobello]

never get tired of this magic, greetings from argentina

[@sundaynightdrunk]

No microphones, no plugins, no auto-tune, just two cats with their guitars. This is my kind of performance. Such soulful singing and fantastic playing. So glad Derek said they should hit the whole thing.

[@StigPrice]

No microphones? Are you sure about that? How exactly do you think they recorded the sound? 🤔 My guess, is that given the multiple camera angles, they have a film crew and at least one man standing in the room with a boom mic... They do however sound amazing. Even if the room they are playing in is far from acoustically ideal.

[@RaySmithWeb]

Warren has such a soulful voice, one in a million.

[@fr3ak1shh]

Nay, one in at least 100 million!

[@ScurvyMcRickets]

Wave that flag tour...

[@frankrichards3089]

He is killin here. Jeez

[@chrisr4804]

that solo transition between Warren and Derek was the smoothest ive ever seen.

[@nicktolan1809]

Pretty good? Are you kidding me? That’s amazing

[@blademan6075]

I have this performance on my daily playlist to and from work and about 10 times during the day! Your band is so good and wow what I change up from song to song. Nobody missed a beat and that freakin’ guitar duo with lead and Rhythm is beautiful not to mention the vocals up front! You guys are amazing!

[@paulcaton7093]

The way the focus sharpens and the concentration kicks in after Warren counts off "two, three, four" brings chills

[@joefriedman9843]

Saw these 2 with the Allman Brothers at the Beacon Theater 8 or so years back. Probably the best show I've ever been too.

[@5150show]

Incredible

[@ElijahBrisley]

That walk up/climb down whatever ya call it is so dang smooth haha masters of their craft

[@internetpeople6113]

[@edoardomottola6126]

[@GuitareErock]

Wonderful duo ! Thanks to the French "guitar part" magazine for a mention about this Video (in an excellent interview of Warren Haynes & Tyler Bryant) I am very happy to ear That great song. I understand why it has influenced a lot Tyler in his process to learn slide. And I have to admit will probably work on slide with this performance in mind...

[@liuhu77]

[@Doosterify]

Outstanding

[@LostMyMojo100]

Holy crap!!!!

[@lisica8458]

Each of these musicians could have a raging ego based on talent . . . but if they do, you'd never know it by the cooperative way they interact together.

[@dicksteptoe9199]

2 bad motha fucks, love this

[@cirleilopes2349]

reminds me starcraft 2 sounstracks =D

[@michaelanderson4101]

I think they may be tuned to the notes of an 'E' chord. Because they can barre the 'A' and 'B' chords straight across the neck

[@jordanchiaruttiniREALTOR]

It's drop D for Warren

[@kt2775]

Drop D for Warren and open D for Trucks, in awe for me.

[@bluesjunky52]

Like they're playin' in yer living room...

[@midtenn2800]

[@patrickfish8265]

[@bjneller]

Right for Derek, not for Warren though. . .he plays slide in E Standard

[@DiogoIronhand]

Open D - DADf#ad

[@casskelly179]

Warren Haynes is using drop d Derek trucks is using open d

[@garyphelps4792]

warren derek really think i like to hear loan me a dime from you guys just a thought

[@babo85]

Does anyone know what tuning this is?

[@yannislenaicbrun4226]

babo85 Not 100% sure, Derek is in Open D, Warren in Drop D

[@babo85]

Hmm, that explains the chords Warren is using.. I was so confused! Thank you for replying, cheers!

[@pahasapaman]

+BRUN Yannis Believe the other's in open E

[@yannislenaicbrun4226]

Ted Hutch Isn't the song in D?

[@nducati]

that shit trucks pulls off from 04:44 - 04:50 is goddamn ridiculous.

[@denysstryker3751]

Beacon Theater 2003

[@PhillipNeal]

Derek looks like Dwayne

[@PhillipNeal]

or Duanne

[@ToniBoordane]

So nasty Trucks lack of a playing face is the epitome of cool

[@derekwellington5167]

This guys are dynamyte! Makes me not want to ever play guitar again lol

[@cc420rt66]
