Had an absolute blast with Mr. Allman and Mr. Oakley @ the Rooster last night. :guitar:
I guess you just didn't think it thru.
Just listened to Gregg allman Mindy Abair?? Gregg sure is distancing himself from anything that cooks these days. Very vanilla sounding. I guess he has nothing left to say musically.
Good ol' sunday mornin' folks. Hope everyone is doin' ok.
Sad tune Sav, but beautiful. Tugs on them heart strings. RIP Jeff Healey. Stumbled on this one too by JH. Dude could definitely shred.

Sorry I misspelled your name, Jonesy!
Jonsey, I agree that is a great version! One of the best covers I've ever heard. Original tempo, close to the record to keep the purity, but the solos (piano and both guitars) didn't copy lick for lick. At first I thought the big guy's pickin thumb was flying all over but it's something around his wrist.
Love to see those guys stateside.
Thanks for posting!
When hiking the himalaya's I listen to the music of Dickey Betts.

TennKev funny Bird 72 hope the show turns out to be the find your hoping for. Saw that version of the band myself in 72.Listening to the Winter Bros from Tennesse circa 76 They were very underrated.Saw them live a few times they could jam.
Check out this absolutely smokin' version of Jessica from an ABB tribute band whom I have no clue who they are. I saw this on the ABB site.

Bird72 - really cool find! It must have taken a lot of detective work to come with that one!
I'm pretty excited. Most know I am an analog freak on vintage music. I believe I have a rare find on the way to me. It is a couple of 7 inch reels of tape of 72 Syracuse (SUNY) show. Allegedly from a sound engineer source. Back "in the day" people in the biz, sound people and musicians used R2R as the medium to pass around demos, some taped shows etc. It was a very small niche group that created the masters that allowed the spreading of what is now traded and downloaded digitally. As time went on, they got copied from R2R to lesser grade cassette (where it became more widely spread) so what remains today may not be the quality that it started at. So pretty excited to hit a high grade from the day pre-multi generation copy in it's original analog format on high freq range R2R tape. This may be my prize Dickey find, leading the 5 man, Berry on full manic mode, Dickey leading the fractured band on.
allmanned and maybe a few others should get a kick out of this. Pretty funny.

"the records other than enlightened rouges were lesser material no fault of Danny's.Of course"
Thank ya', suh. 😀
I plan on seeing the Rooster crow Saturday night fo sho! :guitar:
Sarasota County-based musician Berry Duane Oakley, the son of founding Allman Brothers bassist Berry Oakley, was also one of Gregg’s special guests that night. Saturday at The Blue Rooster in Sarasota, Oakley will perform an hour-long, solo acoustic set before sitting in with the Devon Allman Band, which also includes Bobby Schneck Jr. (guitar), Steve Duerst (bass) Anthony Nanney (drums). In the past, Devon has played with part-time Sarasota residents Pedro Arevalo and Duane Betts, both longtime members of Dickey Betts & Great Southern.
“All those cats are close to me,” Devon says. “I want whoever is in town to come and sit in with me.”
As much as I liked Dickey and warren together I also liked Jack Pearson.For whatever reason I did'nt think Derek and Dickey meshed together as we'll.I THINK DAN And Dickey were great together Live but only on the jams the records other than enlightened rouges were lesser material no fault of Danny's.Of course Duane and Dickey they blazed the trail.
BSJ- I agree, Warren plays differently now than back in the 90s. I liked his playing better back then too.
I remember an interview with him where he said he felt he had to play differently from Dickey, so the two styles would be complimentary.
No need for him to do that in this incarnation of ABB, and his playing became more of his own. I like Warren and Derek, but they sound different than when Dickey was in the band.
I think they went out of their way to distance themselves from Dickey's sound, and although they sound great, they didn't quite do it for me the same way.
To sum it up:
Dickey and Warren..great.
Dickey and Derek..great.
Warren and Derek..not the same.
