      Jack plays a lot of unmodified Squier Strats n Telescope n his tone is just amazing.

      Yep, and he's also using a plain old Fender Hot Rod Deville. I've read that Jeff Healey only played Squire Strats as well. It's proof that if you're a decent player and you know how to dial in the equipment, you can sound good without having to buy (and pay for) boutique / vintage gear ...!

    Been watching Jack since he played with the Allman Brothers. When Dickey first auditioned him, he said that they either needed to hire Jack, or take lessons from him. Haha. What a treasure.

I saw him many times over the years before Covid when he stopped playing out. I love Jack, he is a wonderful guitar player and a very decent person. I kiss seeing him and wish he would come back out and play again.

    Even though I play metal blues and finger style...most of G3 is not watchable...this is amazing at 7:12 Jack is comping Piano Style Jazz Blues and Looks at Josh just where most players repeat themselves and Josh goes elsewhere and then Jack gets more involved pushing him on, and the band and just betting into watching and listening, and to go really outside and it's amazing...no small order to play after Jack, even for one of Josh's calibre and Josh does some really inspired blue there.
    He is amazing.
    As a guitar head and blues fan this is as good as it gets for this style of blues and lineup.
    Just awesome.

    I saw Jack Pearson with the Allman Brothers Band in 1998 where he held a note sustaining for nearly 5 minutes ! He was playing with one of my heroes Dickey Betts "The Ramblin' Man" himself ! They were both on Strats which was very unusual for Dickey I thought and probably one the best "Guitar Duels" ever ! Everything was smoking hot that night the bass player (Oteil Burbridge )did one of the best solo's ever he is good ! It was nearly 4 hours long and Jack & Dickey even did an acoustic set !!!!!!! I had never saw Jack before and thought Warren Haynes was going to be playing ? I was pleasantly surprised....Hands down, the best guitar concert in my life everyone was recording at this venue it was
    98 degrees that day and Dickey said, It's usually cold up here in "Snow Country" on the lake (With his Cowboy hat on) It was a 2 night run at Jacobs Pavilion @ Nautica Stage Cleveland ,Ohio... Tickets were only $35.00.. Wanted to go back the second night but could not make it.... Drove thru the whole state to get there from South Point, Ohio.... Those are the memories that make you a wealthy soul.....Great time !!!!!!
