- A beautiful and powerful performance of the song In Memory of Elizabeth Reed - one of the most memorable hits of the Allman Brothers Band with the guitar wizardry of Eric Clapton. You can watch the whole concert at the you tube site of decadasderockandroll
Clapton, haynes and trucks together, brother it will never get any better than this. They are the last of a dying breed.
Clapton with the Allman's. Keeping the spirit of Duane alive.
I'm 75 now just an Ole rocker hippie chick and the Allman bros band was he very best jam band that ever existed. Saw them several times in Florida when Duanne was alive. Miss GREG a lot RIP my brothers. All legends
I've heard this song hundreds of times since 1972 when I became a fan ABB., including 8 times in concert. Derek Trucks is a phenomenal talent. To see him up there with Warren Haynes, another superb player, and legend Eric Clapton is truly joyous. Long live the Allman Brothers Band and their incredible music
Legends
Hey Ramesh N,this is Jeff Yoder the ol'broke down scooter tramp, exbiker, and I've been a big time Allman brothers band fan since they were one of the most notable of the bands and musicians that led the Southern Rock wave that took over the British invasion here in the US and around the world because of the collective talents and varied styles of music 🎶 that was Southern Rock

Those were some great days weren’t they? Mid late 70s in the scooter world. So happy I lived during that time…
@@travelintheresa7884 yeah Theresa, I'm 72years old now ( as of July 15th, 2022and I ve got plenty of bittersweet memories of those days and I've pretty much gotten past most of my anger 💢 about how my generation of veterans (Vietnam 🇻🇳 Era veterans have been treated like we did something wrong by answering Uncle Sam's call like we were raised and taught was our duty to, and I'm not thinking that I need to say anything more cause after 50years of being treated differently than the generations of veterans before and after mine I've gotten used to not being thanked for my service except by other veterans who percentage wise are far ahead of the general public in showing their respect and recognition of my service to my country so,Theresa I hope my comments haven't hurt your feelings, cause I don't know how you felt about our being supervisory help in southeast Asia ,just like I don't know how you felt about our involvement in the gulf Wars and our getting a hold of Binladin and the proving of what was meant by shock and awe warfare and I'll admit to thinking 💭 there you go Iran Iraq and the rest of them that's how you step up when asked to and take care of business
@@jeffyoder8105
First and foremost, Welcome Home Brother. Thank you for your service.
I was born, raised, and married military. I actually Welcomed Home flights of Vietnam Vets at Andrew’s AFB back in the day. I was young but raised a Patriot. VNV are my heart. I understand your anger and frustration. I have ridden with many of your in country brothers. I’m wrapped in a Red White and Blue blanket right now that my very close VNV brother was comforted with on his deathbed from Agent Orange. There are those of us who get it. I am one. Much Honor Love and Respect ❤️🇺🇸❤️
Just awesome 👏🏾 But no mention of the writer of the song and brilliant guitar player in his own right,Dickey Betts .
It is a magnificent composition, as are Jessica and Rambling Man (other Betts superb songs). BTW: Duane Allman (aka Sky Dog)?played on Clayton’s Layla record.
I think dicky was in the dog house at this point but awesome stuff here
Amen!
You just did
Hope you're doing well Dickie. Love from Canada!!! ❤️❤️❤️
My feelings is when Eric is challenged he is better than when he does his own stuff. Just listen to him. He is better here than anything I’ve heard him do in 30 yrs
Yeah always think the same watching this whole show. He definitely had to bring his A game
Eric’s live playing has been very consistent since the 90s. I agree he sounds almost like he did in his Cream days here which is stupid awesome, but he has a ton of great live shit from the 90s onwards.
@@KickflipGnasty Hey Kick, hope I didn't leave the wrong impression about Clapton. Wow he has done it all with everyone thats come to the scene in the past 50 years. Some of his stuff got drowned when he played with different people and the comment was intended as a compliment because he hits these licks as good as anytime before the Allman Bros did them with the exception to Duane' presence. The Allman Bros were what all others that came after were measured by and that is a major compliment to Clapton. You think there was ever a guitar player alive that his level of performance was raised
.about as much as it could be knowing what people will draw conclusion from. Duane was better every day until he left us too soon. I'm just one opinion and Clapton nailed it in that tune. Hats off!!
Especially with Derek Trucks.
good god i wish there was still an Allman Brothers Band to see
O9ó
Go see Derek in Tedeschi Trucks Band! 💯✅️🙌💪🙏👍
@@cfkittredge They're good, but its not the same. Not even close. Different crowd too.
It just took EC a few seconds to get in the pocket and then blazed away on his guitar! 3 of the world’s best together right here rock, blues etc IMHO
I feel Duane's presence every time I hear Derek play... I'm in my mid 60's now and am so thankfull of those rare few who carry this moment in history forward. Thank you gentleman...
Lotta Duane in his playing...
Thank you King Crimson!
@@thomasarcher4792 I'm more the 21st century schizoid man...just say'n...
When I hear Jack Pearson playing I hear Duane
I feel Dickie Betts presence on that song. He wrote it
Clapton guitar solo is awesome brilliant!!!
I'm a drummer, but all praise to the bass player, who holds this all together. Brilliant.
The guitar is using one of the rarest to let us hear what it can do. Go Eric, get it!
Oteil is a beast and definitely one the greats of this generation!
@@truthawaits4u458 top 3 for sure
One of my favourite Allman Brothers songs.They were a band so different from the norm in rock and popular music.Duane and Dickey sharing twin leads was when they were at their best.
Ive been a fan of this song for over 50 years and this was beyond amazing. My three favorite guitar players on the planet. What can be said about Eric that hasnt been said and Warren is in his own superior reality. Now Derek is not only the heir apparent but is so talented that he reminds me of Jeff Beck. All three are amazing. Greg Allman tied it all together on the Hammond.
En 1972, hallé el doble album de esta banda, increible, teclados, baterias, guitarristas, mejor dicho una melodía para el alma.
Love the comments... this is not arguing with anybody. Just adding a few thoughts. One, Eric Clapton has been such a huge player now for over 50 years. Mind blowing. Two, Derek and Warren are on another planet. Third, Oteil may be the coolest bass player walking the planet... love his D&C work. Finally, Duane would have had zero problem keeping up with anybody, then and now. ZERO. He was in another solar system... so delighted folks in the CZcams have uploaded all these great performances.
Well said ✌
You said it all perfectly
And I dare say, Duane would be so proud to be associated with these guys. That these guys are playing in tribute to him would blow his mind! He was only 24 when he died.
Oteil made it!
Love your comments. Couldn’t agree more.
And to see Eric Clapton play with the Allman brothers on this song is the stuff dreams are made of, and this song is the best example of ad libed rockin,,jazzy blues I can remember hearing played by anyone and what a treat seeing and hearing Eric Clapton join the Allman brothers playing one 1⃣ of their classic Southern Rock hits
And Eric did try to get Duane join Derek & the Dominoes.
Love how this brought out the old Eric Clapton, almost 'cream like' ... superb.
Totally agree. Saw Cream live and they were unbelievable. And, you're right, Clapton really lets loose.
Guitarpaul , but it was o
Agree! Cream like sound indeed! Glad to hear Eric’s guitar playing sound aggressive again!
He said after he hadn't played like that since 1969
Yes!!!
Best piece of music ever written, and I include Beethoven, Rachmaninoff, Liszt, etc. Have listened to it thousands of times and never tire of the absolute perfection of composition. Thanks Mr. Betts...
I hear something new every time I listen to it.
Unfortunately Betts wasn't playing this one
I can't say '1,000's' but hundreds of times the Fillmore East cut and I'm continually awestruck. Often think about the intricacies and think to myself, "How could he come up with this from just that passing sojourn in a cemetery?!"
A woman asked me to dance to this at a party, to this. 47 years, two kids and two grandkids with her later, I still love it. Dickie Betts is the best lead rock guitarist I have ever heard live, and I’ve heard most.
No doubt it is a great performance.
I'm sure you have listened to the 9th symphony or Carmina Burana countless times. The best rock musicians are extremely gifted and talented. The best classical composers were extremely gifted, talented and knew what they were doing theoretically as well. It is like comparing Sidney Sheldon to Oscar Wilde.
I've seen a photo of Elizabeth Reed she was quite an attractive lady. I just wonder if she ever imagined someone would make such a fantastic song about her 35 years after she passed.
I love when Clapton is pushed to something as smoking as this. I only wish he would let loose more often. Thank Trucks and Haynes for pushing. So damn good!
Pushed is right. I think he looked a little lost at the beginning but he got it back and then some.
You guys don't know Clapton very well do you. Eric & Duane was friends back in the day and jammed together a lot. WTF.
@@shaserv
Exactly right. They're all playing Duane's and Clapton's songs from 40-45 years ago if you watch the longer clip of :54 minutes. You have onstage about 3 generations blending! There's no reason why this music, these musicians won't be as known in 200, 300 years like Beethoven and Mozart are today. That said, I think Eric bobbled early. Likely dazed by DT like the rest of us, if indeed it even occurred. This song and this show gave us three virtuoso players whose music and lives are threads in the same cloth. Just amazing.
Pushed hahah? Do you know how many different bands Eric has played in not just that but you can toss anything at him and he’ll play it like he wrote it
He hasn’t let loose in forty years.
This was my favourite Allman Bros track in my university days. Great memories of a legendary band!
I had a buddy in college who would come into my dorm room all the time asking to hear In Memory of Elizabeth Reed. He was killed by a drunk driver his senior year, so I always think of him when I listen to the song.
TheTruth well that's lovely hope Eric Clapton reminds someone of me when I'm gone. memories x
TheTruth sorry for the loss of your friend 😢
goddamn that's a bummer, respect to him and you.
How Karmatically sad!
So 😥
Damn this is good. What an honor it must be to play together like this. The ABB is one of the best rock bands of all-time, without a doubt.
Eric is always better when he's out of his element. When he tours his own show, it's way over-rehearsed for my tastes. But when he's with other cats, it pushes him out of his comfort zone. That's when he's at his best.
Probably allows him to just “be” with the tune without too much thinking. He can respond in real time. Thinking gets in the way more than most anything else.
And ABB is THE “jam band”! It’s what modern day “jamming” aspires to achieve.
I think you will find that this has been rehearsed
@@neilangus4401 Not too much by Clapton.
Dude i totally agree with you...get him out of his element and he can surprise the hell out of you..lol
You're right on! Clapton himself was admiring some musician, I forget now who it was, who could effortlessly jam with others like he'd been in their bands for years , then he said "Generally I've got to have time to work things out" . Love when he doesn't have time to " work things out" and just goes 100% by feel.
My favorite music of all time. Eric Claptons face after his solo says “I’m having fun and love these guys”! Everyone has a solo and their great! Great music!
...then Eric slowly transitions into a senile, old fascist, fart.
His soul brother was Duane. Playing with Warren and Derek probably brought a little of that feeling back. It’s too bad we didn’t get more from them. Still, Layla, the whole album, in a few spots, is the most brilliant, heart shredding music ever. On a par with anything ever done by anyone.
Eric sucked he was horrible
Three of the best blue guitarists to ever pick up a 6-string! Wow!
One of the most awesome jams I've ever seen. Haynes with his Les Paul, Derek with the SG and Eric and a Fender..... beautiful.
What a performance
That sounds just like the original but I had no idea that was a jam session with all these artist.thought only Abb Dwayne Greg n derik
Best version I’ve ever heard. What an amazing trio of guitarists. Trucks killed it.
The original lineup played at a small Bronx place called Gaelic Park in the very early '70's. Couldn't afford the $2.50 admission price so we sat outside and heard every note.
Great times. Life was so much simpler then.
Rest in Peace Dickie! 😢
I was there too. Stood outside just like you.
Fascinating study of 3 distinctive guitar tones: SG, Strat, LP
Great point, who would have even thought of that.
I'm sorry to say but... in this case... Gibson wins to my ears. Maybe because Derek and Warren are more at home playing this but their tones are just perfect
Eric's Strat has the 25 db midrange boost on the bottom tone control, which to my ears sounds a lot like a Gibson SG when its all the way up and on the bridge pickup. So it isn't a normal Strat sound.
Brilliant if this doesn't get you, you must be only half alive. RIP Gregg Allman, the music lives on.
My favorite song.
Elas Mobranch +LOVE u Greg alman
The road goes on forever!
R I P Butch as well :-(
Is that Chuck Levell on keys?
I have a collection of Cream bootlegs from the 60's, and like others commenting here, I'm pleased to see Eric going boldly forward on this one. My favorite Clapton recordings are from the Cream reunion in '05. Whereas Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker seemed past their peak, Eric was at the top of his game in combining melodic and technical skill at 60 years old. Also, I totally support his willingness to take the attacks last year for simply speaking up about his experience with getting injured from the Covid jabs.
Beautiful! I feel like I'm 16 yrs. old again. Just the BEST!! Duane lives in this sound. RIP
Dickie Betts wrote it
I am so proud to be from the south. This is my band.
I'm must say...First time watching this.... I'm a huge Clapton fan!!! After hearing Derek's solo I thought WOW!! How's Eric going to follow that....but he certainly did...it brought something out of him we don't hear so frequently now days...absolutely loved it.... what a stage full of talent...amazing
I agree, as does Derek Trucks. He and Warren Haynes were bowled over with his solo, and Eric whispered to Derek that he hadn't played like that since 1969.
Arguably 3 of the top 5 living rock guitarists together on one stage
Phenomenal playing from everyone.
I love Eric if only for how he helped develop the lead guitar from the mid '60s on but truthfully Slowhand is the 3rd
best guitarist on the stage here....
@@Thundergod- I feel the same about his involvement in the development of the guitar as a lead instrument, but honestly, he's not even the third best guitarist on this stage. He's way out of his depth on this one
@@LazDigSurf There are just three guitarists on stage here so your math doesn't work....
@@Thundergod- Gregg was also an incredible guitar player
@@LazDigSurfHe played acoustic guitar ok but is much more proficient on the B3 IMO....
"In my humble opinion, Dickey Bett's composition, "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" is one of the finest instrumental songs of our musical era. The version we all came to know on Idlewild South was a masterpiece itself but when the At Fillmore East album came out, we really got a taste of how epic this song would become to us. The impact on my playing and how I would view other jam bands would be measured and compared, in part, to this one song.
The live version is a breathtaking piece with intricately woven passages, where time signatures and rhythm patterns dance and the music is alive and vibrant with electricity. The way the band played this song live, with section changes and lead solo hand offs on this occasion on AFE was flawless; the syncopated interaction between Butch and Jaimoe was thrilling, propelling the kinetics of the band's timing with unerring precision.
Berry's wonderful bass lines and intricate bursts of melody were uncanny, feeding off the rhythms and leads of Gregg, Duane and Dickey, and rather than seeming to hang on for dear life, Berry intuitively integrated the percussion section with well-timed complimentary bass patterns to accompany those ferocious lead solos.
The swirling chords and notes of Gregg's B3 during the song are majestic and rich with supple tones and his solo is powerful and concise. The band was smooth and surfing the groove the whole time.
And of course the lead solos by Dickey and Duane are branded into our musical memories. The intensity and urgency of the solos are undeniable as each master of the guitar creates tension, an ebb and flow, in and of the moment. By the time the band surges into the riff that signals the end of the song, you are exhilarated and have absorbed the passion that passed from them to you. Passed to us every time like a great gift that never disappoints.
Written by Dickey Betts and performed with able support from the best band in the land, Duane always made sure that Dickey got proper credit for his composition and we do too. Thank you Dickey. Happy birthday!"
Mark Vormittag
Yes, without a doubt.
I Love love Love Idewhile South
yes . to watch Hayes butcher it makes me want to puke
Hayes? If you are talking about Warren HAYNES then you are as as far off on your lane ass take as your spelling. You do realize he was playing this song decades prior to Eric or Derek. If you think he did anything other than kill it, you have never picked. Duane would approve of Warren.
@@riorio5052 friend of mine just bought Farm back to reality . No offense. Clapton but you don't do it justice ! it is an honor the respect someone of your caliber which is second to none to give it a go Fillmore East was badass and then Layla wow
this is my favorite In memory of Elizabeth Reed ever for ever i always like it
That was pretty special. No winners or losers here, just fantastic ensemble playing. The way the whole band locks in and plays in sympathy to the leads. Wow.
Frickin’ Clapton shows up ready, brings the goods! 💫🔥⚡️
Thats Derick Trucks Bringing it!
Trucks and Clapton burn down the house. If I had to choose between them, I'd pick -- both!
For those of us who like to hear electric guitars soar, this is aural paradise. Three great guitar solos! I love to hear them all jamming on this great old tune.
It's interesting to watch Trucks and Clapton chatting after Clapton's solo. Trucks seems to have a way of creating a warm camaraderie with his fellow musicians: everyone seems to like him.
Clapton made me love the guitar , he and Duane were pure magic ....so glad to see him bust loose another time and just play !
Alvin Lee made me love guitar too.
I snuck into both these Clapton with ABB shows at the Beacon.
Ones to remember.
One of the best jams ever!
Two world class talents paying homage to their hero. He was one of a kind.
Quite a comprehensive blend.They all layed out their emotions with guitars!!!
Eric is thinking, shit, there is no way I can top Derek's solo! But that Allman Brothers magic mojo kicks in and he pulls off an amazing solo! But what about Warren? Will he be able to keep the pace? Damn sure right! That amazing magic that is the Allman Brothers band will never exist anywhere else!
+Dj dawn-Roxanne I wasn't suggesting pettiness. I was suggesting that there is a magic that happens when the Allman Brothers play!
Clapton thinking that he can't top Derek's solo? Are you insane? Clapton? Clapton doesn't try to top anyone. He just does.
Derek certainly pushed him to higher heights. That's the kind of thing you only see Clapton do if he has other great musicians pushing him. After Derek's solo I actually wondered what Clapton was gonna do, considering this is not a song he's used to playing and knows his way around like Derek and Warren do and Derek just did... whatever the hell that was. Of course, Clapton did what he always does when pushed. He soared.
I think he's saying Derek pushed him to play a little harder. Just like The Last Waltz. Clapton pushed Robbie Robertson to the limit, Robbie responded and that's where the magic comes in. Not that it's a competition, but most musicians that "jam" appreciate being on stage with others that can bring it, so to speak. They bring out the best in each other.
Warren is a brilliant guitarist. He gets sounds that nobody else can. Sometimes his solos leave me speechless.
I could listen to these guys play all freakin' day!
Clapton plays like he did in Cream...damn this is a badass jam!!
The fire from those guys' guitar solos just charbroiled my steak perfectly.
+Tim Tebow's Left Arm Yeah, and a smoking hot song - good for my salmon!
Username checks out
They were always noteworthy for that remarkable, straight-off-the-top, duel guitar leads that step parallel but staggerdly at times; I was an old kid of 20 at the time, but i must say that i've never heard this version with Eric Clapton playing lead with Warren Hayes on lead/rhythm, Butch Trucks son Derek on drums. They cooked, and this takes me back to a time when the light shine was so bright it had to grow dimmer in time. And yet, it shines on here, and since "it's all music", we all must play our part. Thank you for sharing "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed".
I think he's at his best when he's with his own band members he's a lot more relaxed and just zooms along he's one of the best of our era.
No Way! When he jam's with others, it's the unexpected that pushes him beyond his usual limit's of the sketched out stuff with his band they usual do. Oteil I think was really getting him jazzed with the Jack Bruce kinda live Cream jam thing that use to send him off into orbit. Just my 2 cents.
You know what pisses me off? So many haters and self-possessed "experts" who diss excellent artists for their honest attempt to recreate a masterpiece! Get a fucking grip! This is absolute excellence and will never be heard in the same way again....Everyone want so to hear Dickey, Duane, et all but obviously not happening. i love it when great players have the confidence to attempt this, Eric did a fantastic job, as did all the later, more current day Allman Brothers.
Each one of these guys are as good as the one beside them. This music will last forever.
Such a great song! These fine gentlemen each were brilliant soloing. Duane and Dickey would approve. Just imagine if Hendrix was up there giving a solo...can only dream.
One of the greatest songs ever 😃 Technically Perfection 😊
everybody talks about the 3 gitarist nobody noticed that otell the bassist is brilliant
Oteil Burbridge is absolutely brilliant! It is really noticeable how both Greg Allman and Dicky Betts collaborate with him in a kind of musical conversation.
That’s why Oteil is now playing with Dead and Co. They needed the best.
What about the original bass player, Berry Oakly?I feel his style was more fitting than this bass player.He was perfect for this band.
I enjoy Otiel very much in Dead & Co. also.
I noticed him bumpin and a thumpin down there.He didnt get passed me.And youre right he sounds great!!!
Glad to Mr. Clapton and Mr. Trucks enjoyed their insanely fab solos. Mr. Haynes threw one down as well. The whole band was exceptional. What a treat.
I saw Derek open for Eric Johnson about 20 years ago in Raleigh NC and didn't really pay attention. I was there to see Eric. As the years have gone on I regret not watching him.
This may be as good as it ever gets of one generation passing the torch to the next generation. Clapton to Haynes to Trucks! Absolutely phenomenal!! Just effing amazing!!
I know what you're saying and it is a cool sight to behold. I think Warren took his torch from Dickey Betts. Then Slowhand and Skydog had a great connection back in the day. Derek has blood lineage to the ABB from drummer, uncle Butch. Warren and Derek both idolized Duane.
RIP Duane, Barry, Butch, Gregg.
@@Head318Hunter Thank you ! I was just about to say that I believe it was Betts & Duane that passed this torch down ! By the way, Clapton was pretty much starstruck with Duane also.
Omg I cry when they play this song it's a masterpiece. Play it at my funeral please.
I Love The Brothers Clapton Was Great
My younger Brother would play this back in the early 70's and I can still hear it now "A song Dickey Betts wrote for our 2nd album . . . . . . ." He died of cancer too young a couple of years ago but this always takes me back to those times.
Check czcams.com/video/8jVz1NSZIlo/video.html
I first saw Clapton with Bob Dylan at Nuremberg July 1978...along with a hundred thousand other people...made people magazine! Great great memories. It was his “Slow Hand” tour. Beyond great and life changing...I sometimes gloat to myself at how fortunate I was to have lived and been present at some of the most monumental concerts of the Golden age of Rock music.
I feel similarly. Grew up in the 70s thru early 80s. Saw groups like Stones, Who, Zeppelin, Skynyrd, Eagles, Steely Dan, Bowie, plus all the arena acts of the times. Never again.
Pour un amoureux mais néanmoins néophyte, un merveilleux moment d'écoute de ce morceau de blues, le "in memory of Elizabeth reed", le plus pur morceau de blues qui vole au-dessus de la lumière en Amérique, un vrai miracle acoustique ! Un arrêt sur image ! Merci !!!
Some people just get it, these songs are personal, vetted and deep!
Well said
I love how when you have fabulously gifted guitarist like Derek, Warren or Stevie Ray Vaughn that they can play their great solos with their eyes closed and the music just flows out of them....they have special gifts from God.
Sorry I disagree, of course its years of practice but some people have special talents and Derek, Warren and SRV had it.
Did you just disagree with yourself a year later? Lol
Wow. Burnig guitars or what. Absolutely blew me away. Never heard this before.
Over 50 years later and this song continues to played as one of the best songs of the 70's! Great musicians, but not the Allman Brothers. Duane, Greg & Barry gone but not forgotten.
Derek's fretted play is fascinating...sitar like at times..great improvisation
I LOVE watchin Jaimoe play. So laid back and seems effortless.
You knew spring was in the air in NYC . ABB PLAYED 10-12 every spring at the Beacon Theater….. seen them at Capital Theater in Passaic NJ IN THE 70’s
The Organ fills the background just right nice playing.
Three of the best guitarists in the world on stage at the same time. Doesn't get any better than that. One of the best songs that was done by the Allman Brothers.
What a great tribute to one of southern rock's greatest song writers, singers, and guitar players, Forrest Richard Betts.
This is an incredible mix of three different guitar players playing very well together. I hear no overlapping and no mistakes. The Sound Board Operator performed the job well.
Love that music thanks
Hey, your welcome you could call this performance a weapon of mass entertainment.
+Lisa Lee this is beyond "playing very well together" IMO
You know what good music is, and I like that people can appreciate great music and realize great music when they hear and see it.
Get down and allow the spirit to manifest out through the instruments.
I read somewhere that after his solo, when Eric leans over to Derek Trucks, he said "I haven't played like that in 40 years"
I see what u mean Sam ,..not sure if thats true , but u see how Derek was watching Clapton the whole time playing. I'm sure they were enjoying it all. 3 of the greatest guitarist all together. WOW !
Nah. He came back in and finished his solo too early. So he started the next bar by himself. He likely leaned over and told Derek "I came back in too early on that one! Oops! Lol!"
You could see when he did it that he starts smiling before ever talking to Derek because he knew he finished the solo too early and, as a result, started the next bar by himself since nobody was expecting it.
@@blazer6248 hum, that makes sense, but you inspired me to seek out the original quote, and I found it, with context:
Haynes was especially blown away by Clapton’s meaty soaring the second night during “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed”: “His solo was filled with reckless abandon.” Clapton knew it too. When the song was over, he turned to Derek Trucks and said, “I haven’t played like that since 1967.”
Definitely possible he said both things, since the camera cuts away, so it doesn't mean you're wrong. Here's the article: ww.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/clapton-and-beck-the-long-and-winding-road-45572/
@@blazer6248 you might be right, look like Eric was just getting warmed up. All 3 great guitarist !!! Lets not forget the bass player he was jamming big time ,...bad ass !!
Most are talking about the guitar solos - and rightfully so. You've got three of the best of all time on that stage. (BTW, Eric's solo was insane!) But I'd love to give some love to Gregg. He was known as a singer - and rightfully so. But he knew his way around a B3 pretty damn well! Not a flashy soloist, but the boy could play his ass off!
Perhaps the biggest musical regret of my life was never getting to see the ABB play live.
Gregg's playing was a lot like his songwriting. He could say a lot with very few words. Understated and brilliant.
Wow!!!!!!!!!!
I did! 3 times! The last time was in ‘73 at Watkins Glen, NY with the Dead & the Band at the Intl. raceway with 600,000 other freaks! An amazing weekend of music with my brother, who is gone from this world now. I miss you Bro & will always remember the shotguns you blew during “Whipping Post” & how long the line was! (& how bad you burned your lips!)...ahhh the late 60’s & early 70’s, the best years, best music, & our squandered youth!
Watching Derek and Warren play together is pure heaven and their solos seem especially stellar here. Maybe because Eric adds something historical here, as if Duane's ghost is hovering & jumping around each of them as they solo. He then gives Gregg an "I salute you brother" as the organ grinds, blending into the jam.
"In The Memory of Elizabeth Reed.....and Duane Allman"
Well then, I guess Clapton added something afterall!
This is Great! I'd say Eric Clapton blended in beautifully with the Allman Bros! Even sounded a lot like Dickey Betts too.....
Great job to the whole band! They'd melded together perfectly on this song!
I never knew about Clapton playing with the ABB and it was truly amazing seeing such musical giants all together playing an all time classic tune!! It brings joy to my heart!!
He played with them for full second sets, two nights in a row at the Beacon in 2009. They also played some Layla material. Epic shows
Here is a link to a full second set with Clapton that you might like. czcams.com/video/bbGrN6KpJ-0/video.html
So beautiful! Such a haunting melody! The greatest guitarists, drummers and keyboard players on Earth!
My condolences to Eric Clapton in losing a very long and close friend. We will all miss the late Great Dicky Betts. PLAY LOUD FOR THEM IN HEAVEN ON YOUR NEXT ADVENTURE, RIP!
best instrumental ever written.....by any band at any time
RIP GREG, THANKS FOR ALL THE GOOD MUSIC THROUGH THE YEARS.
Simply amazing. Warren kicked ass. The most under rated guitar player to date. If you haven't seen Gov. Mule live you are missing something special my friends.
Warren hangs so well Derick the new best ever Clapton my all time forever favorite
You are so right. I have seen them 3 times, I did not know an ear could have an orgasm until I saw Gov Mule live.
Love that Warren is comfortable enough to lay back and not feel compelled to get into a jack of competition with Clapton. True leadership is showcasing your guests.
Well said - a true musician lets the music star and when you have a renowned guest artist everyone wants to hear him...
I don't think you could show it on youtube if they were jacking off, anyway.

This is my 2nd favorite band. My number 1 band of all time is the original Allman Brothers Band that I saw in 1970 and again in 1971 as a bunch of 20 somethings.
Cudo! Ein Wunder! Wunderbares Spiel! Das wird man nicht vergessen.......🙂🙃🥰😍
Clapton was pushed Here to Really Play. Amazing!! I listened 3 times I heard it.
I never get tired of this song.
WOW! Spectacular. This has so much going for it.
First jam tune I ever heard! Instantly hooked
this is special...three guitar players in perfect control ..great example of 3 completely different styles and all complemented each other ..i think Duane and Dickey would approve
"in memory of duane allman"
Nope. In memory of Dicky Betts. Not yet, though.
This is Dickey’s song. No denying that. And there also is no denying that Duane was a great talent. One of a kind. But this version just proved that three guys stood up on that stage and killed it. My point is and always has been that life went on without Dicky and Duane. But the one piece of glue to this band was Greg. Without his voice, the AB would not have been the great band it was. He never gets the props he deserved.
♡♡♡
Warren gets some insane bends and tones around 10:10! Such a fantastic performance by all!
Derek took the ABB to another level, he is out of this world.
3 of the best guitar players on our planet!!
gonna really miss the ALLMAN BROTHER,S BAND R.I.P.
The best R&R song ever period done no more discussion. Elizabeth Reed thanks for your inspiration from your place in the ground
Eric and Derek killing it. I can die a happy man!
Beautiful music!
They are all super fine, as I've been following the ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND since they changed their name back in the early '70's from the HOUR GLASS TO ABB🎸🎸🎸🎸🥁🥁🎹🎤🎤🎤🥭🍄😎
