The Allman Brothers Band 'Done Somebody Wrong' Fox Theater Oakland, California May 13, 2009

Its all about Improv, and Warren KICKS ASS No Matter what he plays. Derek can definitely cook on the slide, but his tone is a little too smooth on this recording. If you go back, and listen to Duane , his tone had much more bite, and treble high end cut(Probably from the Gibson P-90s ) which are very unforgiving pick ups, and you are literally right out there. If you have good chops, then those pick ups can be your best friend. Take a look at that SG Derek has there(Vintage)like Angus AC/DC

Nice touch with video of Duane in the back ground. Derek trucks is a monster. I'm going to see Gregg Allman tonite at Sun Fest in West Palm Bch.

[Talesofspace8]

man don't get me wrong, i'm the biggest ABB fan there ever was, but, Derek Trucks just out shone everyone here, well apart from Greggs singin....guess i'm just hearing their age for the first time....

[TheThorazineShuffle]

I love how the strobe light has a hard time penetrating all the smoke of Oaksterdam :)

Great show tho...the Fox has a real warm sound and the CDs from these 2 shows sound amazing...

[cajancougar]

is that Elijah Blue Allman in his dad's band????

[gervin421]

My God.....sick

[daguywitdaguild]

Derek has Duane's fire and Warren sounded like he was playing the lead to Melissa...

[jtwillis]

've loved the ABB my whole life. in fact my dad intentionally made the first song that I ever heard after I was born to be Statesboro Blues (raised me right) but I've got to be honest guys, Dickey Betts sucks these days. its just true. Dickey was bringing the band down. I am glad that I got to see Dickey play with the ABB in 99 but Derek blew Dickey off the stage. Duane couldn't have picked a better slide player himself because Derek is better than Duane was.

[komandant10]

@jtwillis you must be out of your mind.. no one compares to Duane!!

[jtwillis]

@komandant10 no man im in my right mind...no one compares to duanes influence...i mean if there was no duane you would have never heard of derek. The truth is though, that duane was only playing slide for just a few years when he died. Derek's been doing it since he was 9. Technique wise he is better than duane, but im not trying to take anything away from duane.

[TheBoringProphet]

@jtwillis I think if you are going to compare Dickey Betts with one of the current ABB guitarists, you'd have to compare him to Warren wouldn't you? Warren's the one playing Betts' parts, really. But I think you are right in general.

[jblcva]

Nobody can play that song like Duane.

[inquiry7]

Good playing!!! Duane Allman and Dicky Betts were pretty good together too!!

[brucefan181]

@inquiry7 Pretty good? The greatest

[DestinctiveLogik]

Is this on a dvd or cd? if so which?

[kc12112]

What the hell are you drunks blathering about.

[666Vlada666]

Warren Haynes match bather then this dud

[birdiejoehoaks]

not at slide

[666Vlada666]

haha ofc it is !!!

[birdiejoehoaks]

oh no no no.

i mean, id rather listen to warren haynes, and i would argue that haynes is a better guitarist overall, but not at slide. oh no

[compabutch]

Great to see these old warriors are still out on the road! They are sounding pretty solid too....... "Lay down the backbeat and crank up that trusty Gibson!"

[jblcva]

@compabutch, about 5 or 6 years ago they

put out a very good CD "Hittin the note" The

best they put out since Berry, Duane days.
