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.
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!!!
Amanda is amazing. She killed it just like Jason always does. What a freaking pair....such talent, can't wait to see what their little girl grows up to be.
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.”
He's really matured in his aesthetic... He looks just as badass as he always was now... I think Amanda Shires had a lot to do with it tbh. Married to a talented babe like her would improve anyone's look
He and his crew make real, authentic music that touches the deepest parts of who we are. I am forever changed having heard Jason Isbell and the 400 unit!
Just when I think that I can't be amazed anymore by his work, I'm amazed again ! Best thing to ever happen was for DBT to release him from the band he doe's better by just being himself.
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...
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.
Spenser Dalton considering Duane died in ‘71 and your comment about the tones being similar, I’m gonna have to go ahead and say you are talking out of your ass
Thank you Mr.Isbell for you fine entertainment. This is one of my favorite Allman Brothers songs. Well all there songs are my favorite just can't get enough of that Betts sound .
I've seen a few people try to capture this with cell phone recordings, but thank FSM someone was able to put this up with some production value. My new favorite playing my younger self's favorite!
The guy writes great songs himself, but, I was a teen in Georgia when the Allmans started getting somewhere so this is really sweet.. Jason and the band do a bad ass job on covers. Got to see him about 18 months ago. Great show.
Wow! Goosebumps! Duane, Dickie, Gregg, Berry, Jai Johanny, and Butch would approve. It takes balls and serious chops to cover sacred music like this. Thanks Jason & the 400 unit. And Wail On Skydog.
Isbell played it a PNC Pavilion here in Cincinnati and it absolutely crushed. I've seen him do quite a few covers live and this one was hands down the best.
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.
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.
Go out and get the Allman Brothers band Live at the Fillmore East. This is just one track. The band was into John Coltrane so this is Jazz Fusion with the Blues. Duane Allman and Dickey Betts were great.
Hot damn. Love to see these guys playing AB. This is SOME band. Love their stuff and do unbelievable covers! Jason calls out shitty songs and record labels for pushing drivel but you see his love of really good music.
Stellar! Kept to the original just enough - but tailored to these great artists. I've never seen Jason tear it up like that before. And Amanda's solo: She owned the place!! Does it turn out that "whipping post" made for a fiddle solo and nobody knew?
and to think we had a chance to see this awesome man and the band last night but my we already had plans for my wife's birthday (she hasn't been exposed to Jason yet so she doesn't know just how special this guy is so it means we have to catch him at a later date somewhere else) ......I believe he is in Madison tonight which is 4-5 hours from my place ...if I can convince her. I just got turned onto this guy earlier in the week and like so many of you I am absolutely blown away by his music.....and this is one of the best covers of this classic tune that I have ever heard.
"Enjoy the rest of the evening" he says at the end - I wouldn't want be anyone following that!
fantastic!
In all fairness it was Bob Dylan then Willis Nelson following that
@@dfish1351 zzzzzzzz
@@dfish1351 as great as those to are, there not bring it like that any more
RIGHT!!!!
Sadler brought it hard. Playing is stellar and tone is spot on.
He is such a talented song writer that people forget he is a great guitarist as well.
john pollock Very good point.
Until you see him live. Then you'll never forget it.
Freaking amazing at both
Man, this is a killer cover. That kid on the Les Paul is awesome.
Sadler Vaden
Sasdler Vaden is the shit.
I believe his given name is Sadler F¥ing Vaden.
By the time you get to own a Paul, you've gotta be pretty good player.
@@moreblack I have a Les Paul and I'm a terrible player. :)
Cleanest version of this song that exists. They did this one justice. Allmans and Co. are smiling down on them.
100%!!!
My Gawd!!!!! Sadler!!!! Amanda!!!!! Everything!!!! Obviously speechless....
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.
Oh my God!!! I’m a massive Allman Brothers fan. This is amazing. (Can’t say “cover”) wow!! Gary Allman would be proud!),
Jason and these cats just kill this. Amanda plays that fiddle like nobody's business. Just absolutely incredible.
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!!!
Sadler Vaden for the win.
Yea his lead player can really rip. It is not the best I have ever heard on this song. But he is burning the house down......
Nice job but check out Dickey Betts solo from Woodstock in 94
I agree, he did a really nice solo.
Looks like ed kings red eye gutiar to me?
Who else comes back to this vidya constantly?!? Ugh!! Guitars 🎸 alone! Absofuckinglutely killed the solos!
Amanda is amazing. She killed it just like Jason always does. What a freaking pair....such talent, can't wait to see what their little girl grows up to be.

Insane
Probably a drug addict lol
Ok, 4 years late. Amazing cover and awesome talent by all. I’m a huge Allman Brothers fan. I appreciate this so much!
This is an obscenely *incredible* piece of music and musicianship. I don't care who you are :)
Total talent Respect Jason
Dudes... i’ve watched this video at least 2000 times. JI4U are the best band in 15 years. I love this band as much as my oldest dog.
I love your dog too!!
Not quite though😅🐶
Dude does it true but plays it with his own vibe. So great that he doesn't play it too fast - Love this version
Isbell is such a badass you totally don't expect him to have the face of a little baby English lord
He's really matured in his aesthetic... He looks just as badass as he always was now... I think Amanda Shires had a lot to do with it tbh. Married to a talented babe like her would improve anyone's look
@@perpetuals3lf plus she be posting nasty pics on the internet probably making him up his game. She obvs dtf!
I never would have envisioned a violin in this classic, but she knocked it out. Classic song. Great cover.
He and his crew make real, authentic music that touches the deepest parts of who we are.
I am forever changed having heard Jason Isbell and the 400 unit!
Wow! I love that they play it properly at a slower tempo. So much soul. So great. Great guitar work, great vocals. Love this!
Waves of chills every time I come back to listen to this
Best backing band in all of music.
Just when I think that I can't be amazed anymore by his work, I'm amazed again ! Best thing to ever happen was for DBT to release him from the band he doe's better by just being himself.
My god damn man. I got goose bumps and I ain't easy to impress.
I was at their show in Omaha when they played this and I lost it. It was incredible.

Dave Matthews Band does a decent rendition...........live central park ny performance.
Michael Garrity I was at the st augie show. as well. Absolute fantastic.
Yeah he's got it going on
Jason played the Peabody in St Louis and brought the house down. I was extremely fortunate to be there. A great show a great band.
Jason Isbell. He could take the shittiest song ever written and turn it into an absolute masterpiece. This is a great cover of an incredible song!
ahh Amanda ..so lovely fierce and respectful full of sorrow.....so well done
One of the most powerful units on the planet right there!
Honestly that first solo with the Les Paul is Duane tone. Obviously the style is different, but that tone sounds right out of 1972.
Spenser Dalton considering Duane died in ‘71 and your comment about the tones being similar, I’m gonna have to go ahead and say you are talking out of your ass
@@gabrielm.4554 Man, I can't imagine being so pedantic you make this kind of comment when someone is just four months off.
@@gabrielm.4554 I get your point, but you didn’t have to be such a dick about it.
Best cover ever. I could feel truth in his voice and yet he stayed true to the song. Very very nice!
Good Lord. I saw the Allman Brothers play this live, you guys killed it!! Amazing.
Sadler is legend now!
I'd pay to just go to a bar and sit and listen to him do great guitar covers all night. WOW
Check-out Sadler crush Tom Petty. Just look it up.
Sadler is the man!! I subscribed to his Bandcamp page...could listen to his slide playing for hours. Talented, talented, humble guy. 🏴👍🇺🇸
My God. This kicks ass in ways I never thought humanly possible.
This may be my new second favorite version of this song.
It takes chops and balls to cover this sacred tune. Wow.
You said it exactly.
Wow. Saw ABB do it way back in the day, but this really brings it. Well taken care of the the 21st Century, that great timeless tune.
Sadler Vaden-Damn Brother, that was so freaking nice!!
Thank you. I'm there in Sydney.
One of if not the best cover of this song I've ever heard!!! Jason rocks!
holy shit, i'd have to say the best ,and jason's lead playing,incredible,tasteful ,dynamic and flawless!
That must be one of the most amazing performances I have ever seen. What an incredible cover! They make it look so damn easy! I am in awe.
Best Allman Cover ever.
OMG Amanda Shires violin solo is ridiculous!!!
Im always afraid shes going to break the fiddle in half when she stops and takes the bow away for a pause then reattacks lol
She bad!
Whippin Post doesn't have a fiddle solo....OH THE HELL YOU SAY!!!!
making the Brothers proud, thanks Jason & band!
How is the audience not losing Its mind during the finale here?---Just SMOKIN' ! SMOKIN' HOT!
Absolutely, apparently they didn’t have a clue to what they were experiencing. Stay safe my music friend
This deserves 20 million views. Jason is just incredible
Just awesome! Perhaps best cover of this song ever!
When the earpiece comes out you know you're in for something amazing
Thank you Mr.Isbell for you fine entertainment. This is one of my favorite Allman Brothers songs. Well all there songs are my favorite just can't get enough of that Betts sound .

I’ve been to over 200 Allman Brothers shows….. this was incredible!
I listen to this at least once a week to help keep my sanity
Wow! Goosebumps! Duane, Dickie, Gregg, Berry, Jai Johanny, and Butch would approve. It takes balls and serious chops to cover sacred music like this. Thanks Jason & the 400 unit. And Wail On Skydog.
Isbell played it a PNC Pavilion here in Cincinnati and it absolutely crushed. I've seen him do quite a few covers live and this one was hands down the best.
Was there too in Cincy, agreed!
I was at that show. Flat out fantastic.
Just to chime in, I was there too and I agree!
I had never been so pumped as when they played this in Cincinnati!
The 400 Unit covering Can't You Here Me Knocking in OKC...pretty sure the best cover I've ever heard!
Best cover I've ever heard of Greg's song
By far the best version of this I have ever heard (yes I Love the Allmans but goddam son)
Chris Stapleton did a great version of the whipping post too I highly recommend watching that too.
Bluesfest. And some satellite gigs. Awesome dude....x
DAMN!!!! GOOSEBUMPS!!! THAT WAS A BAD ASS COVER!!! My respect for Jason and the band grows by the DAY!!!
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.
The did this as a encore at the Cains in Tulsa and tore the roof off!
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.
THAT!!! was incredible! He was at the Ryman tonight and covered Oh Well (Fleetwood Mac).
Awesome. After watching the recent documentary I just know Jason rocked this song on electric guitar in his room as a teenager. Rock on!
Sadler and Jimbo both held their own...
Gorgeous tribute to the late, great Gregg Allman
Go out and get the Allman Brothers band Live at the Fillmore East. This is just one track. The band was into John Coltrane so this is Jazz Fusion with the Blues. Duane Allman and Dickey Betts were great.
nixieman1 the best
I think it's time for a new live album!
I think it's time for a covers album
Whipping Post!!! The ultimate encore tune! Fabulous cover!
Heard this last night in HSV, AL. Awesome tribute. No doubt Gregg and Duane would approve.
I WAS HERE!
Zachary Steffes me too! Wasn't it grand?
Damn!! Definitely giving the original Allman's lineup a run for their money. EXCELLENT version!
just catching this now in 2021- damn, damn, damn. Amazing as expected.
Hot damn. Love to see these guys playing AB. This is SOME band. Love their stuff and do unbelievable covers! Jason calls out shitty songs and record labels for pushing drivel but you see his love of really good music.
NOW SHE'S WITH ONE OF MY GOOD-TIME BUDDIES,
DRINKIN' IN SOME CROSS-TOWN BAR...
Stellar! Kept to the original just enough - but tailored to these great artists. I've never seen Jason tear it up like that before. And Amanda's solo: She owned the place!! Does it turn out that "whipping post" made for a fiddle solo and nobody knew?
Can't wait another 3 months for the show in Albuquerque!!!! AAAHHHHHHH!
Ok wasn't expecting a fiddle solo 🙌
That's Jason's wife Amanda Shire bringing it.
summerfest is awesome just like this is
Simply brilliant. Thanks for posting. Hope they play this when they come to Glasgow in October
DavidTransformer I might do a Fillmore east moment and shout for it :-)
Well? Did they?
Absolutely amazing ❤❤❤❤
Best fucking version since The Fillmore album. BOOM
Thank you.
Killer version. Gregg would be proud! RIP Mr Allman.

now this to me sounds like that sweet Wishbone Ash blues. It's all good.
Outstanding performance!
A most honorable tribute!!!
Saw them do this at the NCMA Amphitheater. Seriously impressed.
this may be the greatest musical performance of all time. Link me to proof to the contrary :-)
that's what I'm talking about J I & the 400 ,.hollering atcha from middle ga
Damn son
loving this track
it always scares me when somebody tries to sing this one... he did it justice but the original is so definitive...
Last summmer at the Peabody they did a very good cover of this song!
Simply amazing,just Wow....superb
Sadler use to play with Drivin n Cryin
Wow, Patterson Hood on bass... love to see it.
nah, that's Jimbo Hart.
@@SimonGotlieb haha I was kidding; they will never play together again.
@@chrismason4224 I wouldn't count it out. :)
Such Talent!! DAMN!
Great cover! That 335 is so cool...
Hell yes!
this was wonderful
