  • Saw these guys in Charlotte in early 80s... Charlie Daniels opened for them

  • ITS a GIBSONFEST!!!!!!

  • "Two Guns-Balls Out" was another talented band in the 70's that was signed to Capricorn Records. Check out their music on youtube it is a sound of its own and considered a southern rock n roll classic!!!

  • Brilliant song, one of my favorites. 

  • yeah, bring that sweet blues

  • Bandshell!!!

  • wow i say simply the best of best members performance;) way to play, live on;)

  • who the dislikes this seriously ... why would you watch the video if you didn't like the band.

  • RIP Frankie Toler and big prayers for Dangerous Dan currently battling Lou Gherigs disease. Those two guys were the backbone of this very troubled Allman era.

  • Why is it the Audiences today don't cheer and show their enthusiasm like that anymore ? Has the USA gotten that repressed? Music is freedom .Embrace it!

  • @dielauwen check out the vid of Janis at Woodstock. She said it all before she started singing.

  • Great, really great performance, but Dickie Betts is no Duane Allman...

  • First of all, New Grass Revival wasn't a jam band. lmao But I agree about modern music ALL being just an extension of the "pop" genre. Nashvegas and Country music has sure went to hell in a handbasket along with good rock and R&B. The Allman Bros kick ass and always have... :)

  • Please see the Blues Boy Kings version of this song on jasenorthblues channel!

  • i started swinging to this from "1, 2, 3.." :)

  • boring...way way way over-rated

  • Just one of the best recordings ever of Stateboro Blues. Dickey is the man......

  • I am 3 years old, hate Justin Bieber and have been listening to Muddy Waters and Son House since before I was even a twinkle in my daddy's eye. Matter of fact I was born in the back seat of a Greyhound Bus, rolling down highway 41, not listening to anything but classic rock. Lady GaGa sucks!!!

  • I hate Gainesville so much (I'm a vols fan, but that's besides the point), I will happily share southern rock with Florida ;), just giving y'all gator fans a hard time. I'm graduating from UT this year and I honestly feel like I'm the only person with a decent taste of music. Should have been born about 30 or so years earlier. Music today is awful; I envy my parent's generation that grew up with this.

  • @apk290

    The Allman Brothers are from Daytona originally. Just thought you should know.

  • To me this a late version; in that it's 82, I'm only 18, Duane's already gone about a decade......I'm now 47, that music still kills me, Gregg's still huntin', and, somewhere, Duane's pure decades-ever blues lives...

  • IMAGINE THIS 1080p! HAHAHAHA

  • thats some of the best slide ive ever seen

  • i live right outside statesboro..(:

  • Oh, fuck of ya dislike wankers

  • GREAT!

  • greg had the greatest head of hair now he pulls it back

  • ive seen them 7 times in the few years ive been alive but everytime they have opened with this song...

  • Pretty good. Sending it on to a friend.

  • my momma died and loved me...my poppa died and loved me...you aint good looking darlin' but you're someone sweet and kind

  • this is a good ass cover

  • they used to play allman bros. on the radio in between alice cooper and black sabboth, so i got to hear them, even though this just isn't my kinda music. But. i came looking for "tuesday's gone with the wind" and i coulda swore it was by allman bros. band, But, i can't find it here. so if they didn't do it , who did?

  • @m1kewithaone its Lynyrd Skynyrd that does Tuesdays gone

  • @BillyBobThortonBich oh yaeh i didn't know! well then what did black oak arkansaw do? charley danials band... no. oak ridge boys... no. man i know i saw black oak arkansas in concert once... maybe they opened for leon russle or edger winter, or maybe even z-z-top, i just don't remember. it would have been in 1970 in denver co.

  • @m1kewithaone wow..black oak arkansas opened for Blue Oyster Cult and J Geils Band back in 1976 at the Lebanon Valley Speedway...somewhere in upstate NY.....I was there, it was great....but couldn't give you any details, lol.

  • The Greatest Southern Rock Band!!!!

  • Dickey Betts ..enough said..

  • That clip just kicks ass, thankx for sharing, For you Bobby, R.I.P., bro..

  • Dickey Betts just is incredible... and by all accounts a very humble and general good guy.

  • Greg Allman is the blues the more southern the better!

  • WAKE UP MOMMA TURN YA LAMP DOWN LO

  • Great song, great sound!!!!

  • I've had the Statesboro blues numerous times myself, partying down at GSU.

  • @justinb911 I go to school here

  • @GeorgiaSouthern87 that's unfortunate

  • 英語はわからねど カッコよさはわかる!

  • WARREN IS GOD!!!! I have been following the boys for years, and the greatest member besides Duane would have to be "Mr. Hanes" long live SOUTHERN ROCK N ROLL

    

  • Best live band around.

  • a lot of people have the blues in statesboro this week after the big drug bust.

  • @laylascrib shittty mannn

  • God I wish i was around when these guys were in their hayday.....saw them at the beacon thearter for their 40th anniversary....all I gotta say is God himself would be listening and smoking a joint.

  • @thecause456 they are actually better today than they were back then. i've been a fan from the beginning. today they are wicked tight. not that they weren't then but with age comes mastery

  • This is my favorite tune ever by the Allman Bros....good ol' southern blues♥♥ Lovin' it always ....

  • I'm digging Dickey's shirt.

  • I've lived in Statesboro for over 5 years now and I've just now found time to hear this. Hell is wrong with me?

  • nothin bro...at least you found it now!!! Enjoy!!!

  • Dickey might not be as good as Duane, but who else alive can play slide like him in this? It just shows that if you learn from the best you will always be a cut above the others.

  • Dickey is overshadowed on slide by Duane. Dickey is a fabulous slide player.

  • Southern Rock needs to make a comeback 

  • Never seen Dickey with an SG, sounds great though.

  • the rolling stones guitarist list of 2003 is a joke, duane allman at 2nd but dickey betts at 58. WHAT THE HELL. dickey should be much higher up the list, the only good thing they did was not include slash on the list.

  • Wow! I mean - like - WOW!

  • man! that guy's intro slide solo PALES in comparison to duane's ! nowhere close! how the heck did he get into the band???

  • @rohitmango Dude, you've been on Mars for how long? That's Dickey Betts. Every musician is unique and has their own style. He's damn good, since you can't tell. GFY.

  • @rohitmango WOW! Your ignorance is anything but bliss and only proves your stupidity in such statements. That guy is Dickey Betts and he is a badass, ever heard In memory of elizabeth reed? Yeah he wrote that, how about Jessica? He wrote that too. Blue Sky.... That too Les Brers in A minor Yeah he wrote that! Ughhhh you really need to read up, he was the other Lead player in the Allmans from the get go. There are tons of interviews where they ask about a solo to duane and he says Idk as dickey!

  • @willeng84 i accept i dint know all that man! havent been into allman brothers a lot. i do love blue sky and now have some respect for him to have written that, but i hope u agree with me when i say that he played this particular song horribly in this live version!

  • @rohitmango Is it as good as Duane....... Of course not he is and was literally the best guitar player. Not just slide, guitar in general Duane was a beast. He died at 24 so put that in your head, he was that good at just 24! PHENOM! Soooooooo knowing that Eric Clapton said Duane was the best guitar player he had ever seen, before that the only guy he said that about was Hendrix. With all that said even the band said Dickey's slide was remarkable, he learned pretty much over night. Duane 4 life!

  • @willeng84: And at the time of his death Duane had only been playing slide for a little less than four years--having picked it up in '68. He laid down an incredible legacy in such a short amount of time. All modern slide players build on the foundation that he established.

  • @aarfeld Sonny Landreth gives Duane credit for being a major influence in his evolution as a slide guitarist. He saw the Allmans play at Blackham Colosseum in Lafayette, La and the experience inspired him to amp up his playing. Check out Sonny's videos on Youtube. I think you'll enjoy.

  • @1blastman: Thanks for the tip; I'll check him out.

  • This song makes me crazy, like really fucking crazy. In a good way.

  • Shitty song. What a bunch of REDNECKS.

  • @flymarvin well sir you can kiss my ass. im not from the south or anything but this is not a shitty song its better than most stuff.

  • @flymarvin Hey thats the great thing about music, if there wasnt music you didnt like there wouldnt be music you like. So you listen to Milie Vanilie and I listen to this and we all walk away happy.

    Have a nice day.......

  • never seen so many jean shorts and mullets in my live. go gaytors.

  • Nice jeans o.O

  • This is an excellent version of Statesboro Blues. And yes Dickey is very talented indeed but he is not Duane and why should he? He is Dickey Betts. And he really knows how to play guitar, slide whatever. Simply some of the best.......

  • That mushroom pendant on Gregg's neck! I want it!!

  • Dickey is very talented, but his slide playing doesn't compare to Duane's. Of course no one's slide playing can compare to Duane's. Duane is the greatest of all time.

  • Spent three years in Statesboro...and it was the three worst years of my life! I can relate to this song in more ways than one, two, or three. When I go by Statesboro on I-16, I don't even touch the brakes. It's a bad memory, and I just let it go, like a fart in the breeze. FU GSU!

  • @EricBBrandon1 Hmm, I love the place. Just because you flunked out of GSU doesn't mean you should hate it.

  • i love southern musicians

  • even though I`m a Calif. boy, I gotta admit southern musicians added a new and improved dimension to the evolution of rock music. When I lived near Houston it seemed like we saw Johnny Winters, The Movin Sidewalk, 13th Floor Elevators and others every weekend at places like Love St. Light Show, Taylor Hall, Po` Boy Ernies (world famous for absolutely nothin) and no name places in Baytown, Galveston, Seabrook etc

  • Damn man ! they just jammed man" what els can you say game over ?

  • ya grandma seemed 2 have them 2... :)

  • Man i feel bad for greg, he seems to have kept a good shoulder on his head after Duanes loss. Not sure I could have

  • yay for the SG

  • They just dont  make music like this anymore...which is a shame

  • hands down best southern rock band that ever was.....

  • the guy with the red les paul plays a crazy lick around 4.00-4.05

  • Statesboro sucks mad penis LOLOLOLOLOLOL :)

  • @samsam114 Yeah it does

  • I was at that concert! Bandshell at Flavet Field at UF. We were to the left as you look out from the stage. Back when you could still bring kegs to the concerts, and we did! This was a great show. They played there again about 7 years later too. They used to have great concerts there and before that at Lake Alice Field. Saw The Outlaws, The Fixx, Wendy O'Williams and The Plasmatics, Stevie Ray Vaughn among many many more. Halloween Balls were great there (& Plaza of the Americas before that).

  • @laxskater49 your an idiot

  • Dangerous Dan Toler and his Brother Frankie on the Drums! AWESOME!!

  • I'm 15, and they're still one of my favorite bands. Just such power in the vocals, and a great tone in the guitar.

  • @streettaco27 Yeah I'm 18 and been a fan for several years. For most of the time, I don't listen to anything recorded after 1989 (when the jam band "New Grass Revival" disbanded). When I was 15 I was listening to music from the 40s.

    Don't buy into the "generation gap" modern pop culture tries to tell you exists. Good music is timeless.

    Keep rockin!

  • @HillbillyJ good music is timeless. totally agree. don't forget though... good music is still good music regardless. there's some good contemporary stuff out there too

  • @HillbillyJ you're badass little brother

  • @HillbillyJ I'm 57. The music died for me around 1989. I can't listen to it after that. Oh, I like some stuff by Stone Temple, but that's it. Allmans were never very well known in general. they were the first "country-rock" band labeled as such by the media, and the best, obviously. Times are different now. I also like the 40's music, at least, what I hear. Good music is timeless, yes. It's music, after all, and the human soul doesn't change much.

  • @HillbillyJ You seem smart....

  • Saw them in the early 70's.... Best concert I've ever attended. They jammed forever.

  • DAMN I wish I could take my girl and go see these guys TONIGHT!

  • SHIVERING....AMAZING SOUND. STILL ONE OF MY FAVS.

    SOUTH WAS NEVER DEFEATED

  • @arrwstia7 Hell yeah!!!

  • @arrwstia7 the south was defeated, your a dumbass. everybody down south are just a bunch of stupid inbreds. go suck on your first cousins cock you dickhead

  • @laxskater49 WE ALL COME FROM THE SAME MOM AND DAD... ADAM & EVE =)

  • @arrwstia7 oh they just quit then?? hahah

  • He said on the electric guitar Warren Haynes so why did I understand Dave Mustaine XD

  • @flakbeast it's Dangerous Dan Toler

  • @ohvnaq Oh well then totaly missheared it XD

  • Comment removed

  • They definately picked up that "southern rock" sound after Duane died...if you listen to atlanta pop festival, and concerts in washington square from 69/70 its night and day difference in how this song is played. they started as a blues jam band and when Dickey Betts took the wheel they had the southern sound

  • Hey Bigtex - it most definitely is Gainesville - that's the bandshell on campus, I saw a few concerts there. Misssed this one unfortunately.

  • @bobsagui You got that right! Been there.  Its near Lake Alice and Frat. Row.

  • Gotta love those days in Statesboro,GA. Go Georgia Southern Eagles! Bulloch Co. Blues!!!

  • This was recorded in Live Oak 50 miles north of gainesville....

  • This was obviously not recorded in gainesville...It looks more like the Spirit of the Suwanee venue outside of Live Oak 50 miles north on the Suwanee river..

  • @bigtexascheeseburger Spirit of the Suwanee wasn't in business back then. Although I saw Neil Young up there. This is the Bandshell at UF.

  • GEORGIA!! 

    SOUTHERN!!!

  • I met Dickey Betts a few years ago when I was about 11. Still is one of the nicest dudes I've met, plus he's amazing at playing guitar. Anyone listen to his band The Great Southern?

  • How does Gaga get 227 million views in 7 months n this gets 110 thousand over two years?! This is so good! I could knock one out over this!

  • The reason Blind Willie wrote this is because he used to roam the streets of Statesboro, playing for coins. He played the streets of Atlanta too.

  • Class.  Total Class.

  • I want a shirt with dice on it like Dickey Betts- Classic!!

  • Gibson guitars and Marshall amps, what can I say! Dangerous Dan Toller has played second guitar for years but a great player in his own right.

  • seems like dickey and greg were still friends here...come on guys you dont have many yrs left suck it up for the fans

  • This is music!! Not that shit u hear today.. The Allman Brothers are living legends and they just get better with time. Ive probally seen them bout 25-30 times everytime they come up here to NYC and play the Beacon, what a show they put on!! This year was at the United Palace up town. Not exactly the Beacon but it'll do for now. I could see them anywhere and they would put on a great show and sound grerat. Keep up the GREAT work boys..see u next year

  • CLASSIC!

  • Gregg and the boys rockin' through another blues classic. Duane and Berry would be proud to see that , not only did the ABB continue after their passing, but do so well in terms of success. Such a huge mix of talents here...they each add a special flavor to this tune. Music to get ya' up and jumpin'...pass me a peach,will ya' ?

  • Good but not as good as Duane.

  • I wish Blind Willie were around to hear this version. I bet he'd have loved it.

  • o my, dickie betts playing the slide.

    Never seen that before.

  • The one guitar guy looks like Billie Powell the piano player from Lynard Skynard. Any one esle think so?

  • @peterbilt4320 lol He does. Maybe it was him in the disguise of sunglasses and an ugly ass shirt.lol

  • I dont know what there is to have blues about in Statesboro. I go to Georgia Southern University in Statesboro, Ga, and it sucks

  • You seriously never heard of Statesboro Prison?

  • At 5:08 I believe the lyrics are supposed to be "she treats me like a king and she looks like a doggone queen," but it sure sounds to me like Gregg is singing that he "sometimes feels like a dancing queen." Is he pulling some kind of prank here, or am I just hearing things?

  • I noticed the same thing.

  • @cobraman96 so what's the answer? is he clowning, or is he just so stoned he thinks he's joined Abba?

  • Hell,I don't know.I just heard the same thing.

  • sweet

  • is Dickey Betts playing without a pick? Anyone know is he normally did this (can't remember from other clips)

  • usually when people use a slide they play without a pick

  • The lead singer is ridiculously cool (Gregg Allman isnt it)

  • Yep, that's Gregg

  • Yea I saw Derek Trucks play here awhile ago and that boy is so much up himself. He can play but he tends to lose his audience with the stuff he does.

  • @AsrudGilberto its not like he is up himself, that is just his personality, watch his interviews, he is very calm and focused on his music. He is just a very calm person. Its just his personality, thats how he plays, he just isnt like the typical rock guitarist.

  • I didn't exactly expect him to play rock music like Jimi Hendrix or blues like Duane Allman but for Christs sake,to bill yourself as a blues player and then come out and play Indian Raga music Come on. If I wanna watch Indian Music,I'll go and watch some Indian people doing it

  • @AsrudGilberto He draws inspiration from everywhere. Honestly some of the best sounding slide stuff comes from India. Have you ever heard him play blues music??? He will knock the socks right off of you. He blends all sorts of music to create his own sound. Jimi Hendrix had a unique sounding blues thing going on, people called him creative. Derek Trucks does it and all of a sudden he committed a sin?

  • ah yea the guy can play as he proved at that show when he jammed at on of the late night shows there and ye I saw one of his interviews but hell I go there expecting some nice blues/rock and we get Indian Music.Actually nobody I talked to after like the guy on his headline show and ppl were even walking out. Sorry if I wasnt impressed.

  • @AsrudGilberto im not asking you to apologize, but he is a great blues player, he is just expanding the blues. The blues has been expanded many times this is just the newest stage in my opinion.

  • Yep I agree :) He's expanded it right out of the blues genre and good luck to him for that but i for one won't be paying my money to go and see him

    again and neither will a lot of other people in this town I reckon and by the way I'm not aplogising for any of my comments :)

  • @AsrudGilberto ok, have fun trying to find other people that play the blues as well as he does. :)

  • I think the back up vocalist should switch pants

  • I've got the statesboro blues...this place sucks man.

    Allman Brothers keep me sane.

  • dicky betts is BEYOND COOL!!!

  • God play the blues!!

  • rock on dickey lol

  • is that at Alpine Valley? Interesting recent story in Rolling Stone it about Greg ... saw these guys lots in late 80s, early 90; thought then it was better late than never, but they still rock on! Red Rocks is best, what?

  • Great video! Thanks for posting this one!  Who's the guitarist with the sunburst Les Paul?

  • 'dangerous' dan toler. so sick

  • OUTSTANDING !!!!

    Words can't describe !

  • Can't beat the Allmans for Good Time Rock n Roll !

  • @ManyGodz AMEN =)

  • I love southern rock...

  • saying southern rock is like saying 'rock rock' ~ dickey betts

  • @christophereu - saying "southern rock" is like saying "inbred rock".

  • @christophereu I know the drummer Frankie Toler

  • @christophereu

    so true! but it was gregg allman who said......"saying southern rock is redundant. it's like saying rock rock."

  • Dangerous Dan Toler throwing down - High energy - Juiceman

  • A classic slide performance by the one and only Dickey Betts - Juiceman

  • I just noticed that last comment must have sounded completely made up.

  • my dad met greg a few years back in nashville and didn't even know who he was! There was a band playing and greg went up and played with them. When he finished they said that it was greg allman. Before greg went up he told my dad that it was the charlie daniels band! I should have been there!!!!!!!!!!

  • wow, in Dickeys hands you can really heard the difference between a LP and an SG

  • Don't know this but I suspect he plays a SG with a high setup to play the slide and the LP Gibson to play lead and some slide. It's easier to slide with the guitar set up high and rhythm and lead with it set up low. At least for me but I'm a novice at it all.

  • dep zep wins

    TKO silly boy should go back north and hang his hat with his fat woman!

    Do not tread on me.....

    Love and peace.

  • I was at a Dickey Betts concert in NYC in Central Park back in the 70's. The Allmans reunited at the concert and played for another hour . Nobody wanted to leave. AWESOME. It's a shame Dickey is again estranged from the group.
