The man on the lespaul, has the best solo cover of this song, I've EVER heard. I am an old Allman Bros follower, since 1971, have every thing they've ever put out, & seen em live, so many times I ve lost count. This whole band was Xcelkent!!!

[@williamfleitz8623]

Sadler Vaden for the win.

I was at this concert and this number was distinctly the highlight of the evening. Gregg Allman had died some months previous to this and each act played a tribute song to the Allman Brothers.

[@lionelm8053]

Oh my God!!! I’m a massive Allman Brothers fan. This is amazing. (Can’t say “cover”) wow!! Gary Allman would be proud!),

[@donjohnson5172]

Cleanest version of this song that exists. They did this one justice. Allmans and Co. are smiling down on them.

Lynna Martinez I know, right? And think of all the great artists that she’s going to encounter via her mom and dad. Jason tweeted a year or so ago something like “When I was a baby, I’d lie on a blanket on the floor while my mom listened to John Prine. Right now I’m watching my baby daughter bounce on John Prine’s knee.”

[@sandraelliott3013]

Total talent Respect Jason

[@mpgarr]

They did this song as the last of the encore songs when they played at the St. Augustine Ampitheater back on July 22. Just like in this version, Jason and the 400 Unit totally kicked ass on this song--I have seen different iterations of the ABB do this song dating back to the late 1970s, and along with In Memory of Elizabeth Reed, and a few other cuts from Live at Filmore East---an album I think is one of the best ever recorded albums in rock history, Jason and the band are doing an incredible job in recreating the feeling that listening to the ABB do it has given me since I was a kid. The show in St. Augustine was a great show from the moment it started to the end of this song---that was my third time seeing him do a show going back to when he toured on the release of Southeastern. He sure is on top of his game and even more important, clearly on top of his life with sobriety, finding the love of a great partner and now being a daddy---we should all be so fortunate to find all the things Jason so deservedly has found now: stability, peace, the love of a great woman, doing good work and getting deserved satisfaction from it. I think I can make a prediction that should come to pass---we have yet to see the best of Jason Isbell's work coming in the future...

[@tacomalife5205]

Michael Garrity I'm not gay but can I hug you? Superior words about Jason and the 400 unit!. This was about the band with a bit of Jason. Showcasing the band. Thanks for a great scene in the greatness of Isbell and fans like me.

Honestly that first solo with the Les Paul is Duane tone. Obviously the style is different, but that tone sounds right out of 1972.

The did this as a encore at the Cains in Tulsa and tore the roof off!

[@matthayes9036]

There was a strict "no photos/videos" policy (as usual for Jason) and I was on the rail right up front and the security guard in front of me was low key filming this song over his shoulder. Tore the roof off for sure.

Wow they put their own stamp on an iconic song while still being true to the Allmans. Good on them! That vocal by Jason is absolutely amazing. There never was and never will be a vocalist with the rock, soul, grit and emotion of Gregg Allman but Jason obviously has been somewhat influenced and it shows. Great tribute by all on that stage.
