Hey guys sorry to bug you all, but i get no video views and I'm an up and coming 17 year old blues/ jazz guitarist from San Diego and need more video views and comments, so please take 15 minutes out of your day to help me out! let me know what you think! thanks guys
i've been searching for the best guitar solo's ever played for a long time. top 2 are monte montgomery's little wing instrumental and derek trucks live at georgia theater's "for my brother"
You all might listen to this once, twice, or maybe three times at a time... but this solo haunts me. I've been coming back to this for months now. It's got a depth that most musicians can't even fathom.
@paisteguy799 Thanks for the condescension, but I'm perfectly familiar with jazz. I was just pointing out that Derek does it better than the vast majority of guitar players.
If Duane were resurrected and saw Derek play for 5 minutes, I think it'd be hard to convince him that he wasn't still in heaven. Trucks has taken his rightful place on the Mt Rushmore of guitarists. And for those of you who argue that he's boring to watch...last time I checked, Pujols doesnt breakdance around the diamond when he sends one deep, and Spielberg doesnt wear a meat dress to red carpet promotion for his movies. When you're as profound a virtuoso as Derek, the music speaks for itself.
If you want to see someone that's also in the discussion check out Scott Sharrards version of Little Wing on youtube... Scott is the lead guitar player in The Gregg Allman Band
@troublesome07 Can't tell you for sure, but the way he "fingers" the chords in this show looks like and open chord... I saw an interview that he plays open G, but since I didn't see him switching guitars on this particular gig I would say probably open E. Watch that 12 min interview, he talks about it ;)
i havent even heard this yet and i know its awesome
fan of derek for years, feel priveleged to have seen these guys way back when ..allen woody mule era.. such great times. will always be on the trucks train. love from colorado brother!
Yeah this dude is a champion! great NOTE CHOICE, ( comes from understanding, a lot of love for the craft and a s--tload of practice) and as a result we the people get to hear and see something good instead of the crap thats pushed in our faces through the mainstream.
@HotRats787: If you mean the "out" sound Derek starts at 3:06, to me it sounds just expanding on the 1-b3-4 motif he was playing just before. He just shifts it in parallel minor thirds. It also happens to build up the real diminished scale. That sort of symmetrical approach is common in jazz. But what a great blues solo!!! Such fire in his playing!
I think this is a candidate for Derek's best solo. Maybe its just that its written in a perfect key for him because its so Eastern and he has a ton of training in those various styles...but man is this on another level. He did use that chromatic bit at 3:05 a bit too much from 2003-2004 in his playing, but other than that this video displays Derek's ability to vary his playing style and mood better than anyone who's ever lived as well as any on Youtube.
1. I'm wholly aware when you argue with a fool, it makes you one as well!. I guess someone caught me at a weak moment. 2. Have seen Derek in person(twice) Have three of his CD's and one DVD.(that should give you some indication of what I think of him) 3. Carlos Santana said: Derek was the guitar of the future. And I completely agree! 4. Now you can ALL settle down. Won't come on here anymore, I'm ALL SET!!
im sorry, I love Duane and classic Allman Brothers, but they are better now than they have ever been. Derek draws influence from Duane, but goes far beyond that (playing sitar-inspired raga licks, quoting coltrane, etc.) I have never heard a slide guitar player who is as good as Derek Trucks.
@RyanOFelt Yeah I was in my 20's when I saw the ORIGINAL Allman Brothers over 25 times between late 1969 and September 1971 and now I'm in my 60's. I guess the Allman Brothers are just not my bag anymore. I didn't leave them, they left ME! The musicans in the ABB now are all good players, but maybe they shouldn't call it the ABB anymore? The last few times I saw the ABB (this lineup) they just didn't make me feel as good as the original lineup. Actually the early 90's came closest to original!
@0819Marlene Who are you to call me those things. If I could know EXACTLY where you are, I come there right now and smack you so hard you would see three Derek Trucks the next time you look at this video. If you talked to me like that to my face, you would have so many fuckin' knots on you, you wouldn't have time to rub them all before I kicked your ass!!!!
@0819Marlene What is the reason you choose to speak to me with such language in the first place. I NEVER said anything about Derek Trucks that was personal and I happen to like Trucks and have seen him and his wife four times. I just personally think AND know the ABB was the BEST with the original lineup and the closest to the original lineup was the early 90's lineup with Warren Haynes and Allen Woody. Since they kicked Dickey out the band it just TOO different to me to even be the ABB.
@0819Marlene You must be a damn drunk to even start speaking to me like that!! I don't slap women but you are one who needs one. I didn't even know you were a woman. What kind of mother of three are you? You are sad. The music business is a hard business. And people have the right to say what they want about their favorite bands especially when they make changes they don't like. It was hard enough to continue to follow this band when Duane and Oakely were killed. Now I've quit going completely
Just goes to show that you can have alot of emotion in a solo without necessarily having to run around the stage. Not that that can't be fun at times too.
Amazing how the band grows with the solo... its like the entire band is soloing :P
And I hate people stuck in the past.... yeah, Duane was a Genius but not more than Derek nor Warren... Hitting' the note is the best Allman Brothers cd in my opinion... Every song is PERFECT... not Great like all the rest of Allman Brothers... but PERFECT... so stop talking shit about Derek... As far as I am concerned Duane wasn't a guitar god at the age of 12 like Derek...
A haunting show of raw emotion through skillful manipulation of the guitar's tonal color, this is among the most moving pieces of music I've seen in a long time. For a while back there I kinda felt sorry I stuck to shred :P
@boblackey1 Sir did you at all read my post before replying? I merely stated that you should learn and understand music before criticising Dereks playing ability. I wasn't questioning the establishment of ABB, we all know how it started. Be proud that guys like Derek, Warren, etc. are willing and capable of keeping the ABB a great source of music for its legion of fans.
@gillisryan It is nice that Derek, Warren etc. are willing and capable of keeping the ABB a great source of music for it's fans. But the facts are the facts. Derek and Warren don't play the old stuff (Liz Reed, Statesboro Blues, Trouble No More, Done Somebody Wrong, Blue Sky etc as good as Duane and Dickey did. Take Trouble No More from Eat a Peach which is a live cut. What version of that song by today's ABB can match what Duane and Dickey and the entire band does on that? Just one example!!
@taylorata3a I'm not a hater. I think Derek Trucks, Warren Haynes, Gary Moore, Eric Clapton, BB King etc etc are great guitar players. Since Moore died I've been listening to him on YouTube and he may have been the best of them all. I'm just telling the truth about the Allman Brothers. What we call the Allman Brothers today isn't on the same level of engery, guitar playing ABB style, creative writing etc as the original ABB. It's not even close. Probably the closest was early 90's w/Warren&Betts
@boblackey1 you're insane. the band is less "southern rock" nowadays, sure, but way more creative and improvisational. if you grew up with them, i can understand having a hard time enjoying the new sound, but from a musicians perspective, they are better now than they have ever been.
@taylorata3a When you listen to what Dickey and Duane do on Liz Reed on Fillmore East, the way Duane plays slide on Statesboro Blues, the way the entire band swings on that and Trouble No More, the HOT guitar solos from Dickey and Duane on One Way Out from Eat a Peach, The Atlanta Pop Festival CD, You Don't Love Me from Fillmore East..Now THAT is the Allman Brothers. You just can't listen to that material and say today's Allman Brothers is as good and in the same league. It AIN'T true!!!
@boblackey1 please learn music properly before you make anymore "bad note" comments. You obviously don't understand what is going on here, and have no appreciation for what Derek is expressing on his guitar. You are entitled to an opinion on the ABB of old compared to new, but not so to criticise Dereks guitar technique.
@gillisryan And why is the ABB such an institution? Who is responsible for that? Certainly NOT Derek or Warren Haynes or Otiel. Not even Butch and Jaimoe to a big degree. I would say the no. 1 person behind that is Duane Allman with Gregg Allman and Dickey Betts tied for second and Berry Oakely third. Maybe Warren a distant 8th for co-writing True Gravity with Dickey and his Soulshine. But NO doubt all the ABB original songs that made the band what it is were written by Gregg and Dickey. Agree?
I just watched Derek for the first time with Susan Tedeshi on PBS. What an insane slide player! One of the best I've ever seen for sure. I can't compare one to the other, but I know this guy is amazing.
@boblackey Those aren't "bad" notes. Derek is fully aware of what he is playing. A little thing called dissonance. There are ways to play "inside" the tonic, and then "outside" the tonic. Anyone who has ever played jazz knows this. The very climax of this solo is when he plays those "bad" notes. Getting "out", (of the tonic), when playing is trying to reach new harmonic ideas.
@HotRats787 Well be that as it may today's ABB is not even close to what was going on with the 67 shows I saw with the original band. Warren, Derek and Otiel may be hot but they can't do that ABB vibe and TRUE ABB sound like Dickey, Duane and Berry. Hell even Gregg and Jaimoe aren't as good as they were back then. Probably Butch Trucks is the only one who comes close to the original band's superior play, energy and trip into outspace. BTW, if you want to see a player blow Derek away try G. Moore
@0819Marlene Well I'm glad that to you the current ABB is the best live band you've ever seen. And as much as I wish I were 25 again rather than 64, I did see the original lineup 67 times and you will just have to trust me and I bet most who saw the original will agree. Derek, Warren, Otiel etc are NOT at the same level on many different fronts as Duane Allman, Dickey Betts, Berry Oakely etc. To me, probably the closest lineup after the original was Warren, Dickey, Woody but still a distant 2nd.
@boblackey1 I'm not debating whether the ABB of today can hold a candle to the ABB before Duane's untimely passing (may he RIP), but you are being unreasonably harsh on Derek, and I don't think you understand his playing. Read about Hindustanti classical music and the concept of Meend and then tell me that he is somehow playing "bad notes". To me, it is extremely technical and impressive. Derek is great at that, and he can do lots of things Duane never did (not saying he couldn't have).
@taylorata3a Well they ABB of today can't nail that ABB sound like the original band. Neither Derek, Warren or Otiel or even Gregg for that matter and Jaimoe too...don't get on the same level of playing ABB style as Duane, Dickey Betts and Berry Oakely. As a matter of fact, with Dickey gone, they don't even really sound like the old ABB at all to me. More like the Gregg Allman Band with speical guests Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks. Just a listen to Fillmore East&Eat A Peach shows it clearly.
@boblackey1 I more or less agree with you. I just think that Derek is great in his own right. It is not the same, obviously, but it is still great. Don't obsess over the fact that a different band bears the name of our sadly deceased band of old. Just appreciate that it is also good music, is all I am saying.
@taylorata3a I wish I were not 64 and saw the ABB 67 times with Duane, Dickey and Oakely. Those three with Gregg's vocals DIFINED the ABB for me. And I know the unique sound of Jaimoe and Butch together had it part too. But the glory days are gone as is the song writing. We will not get anymore songs like Whipping Post, Jessica, Blue Sky, Dreams, Southbound, Liz Reed, Revival, Midnight Rider or even Ramblin' Man. Nobody in the band can pen classics like that including Gregg & Dickey can't either
@taylorata3a The real Allman Brothers Band actually doesn't exist today. What we have today is more a tribute band paying homage to the ABB. Gregg isn't as good, Duane is dead, Oakely is dead, Dickey has been kicked out and probably wouldn't be as good if he were there, Jaimoe has about 1/4 the energy as then. Probably Butch Trucks still kicks it close to back then. But it takes more than Gregg Allman and two drummers to hit me like the original band did the 67 times I saw them. It sad in a way.
@HotRats787 Yeah, but then, just as with art of all kinds, there is a purely objective opinion just as valuable that it sounds 'wrong' regardless of what the player is doing. When everything else about it sounds so 'right'.
@HotRats787 couldnt have said it better. and its so crazy how on the second time around of that "bad" not riff tou can hear how it harmonically works. hes a genius
@ukijhu97 Even notice as far as the ABB sound is concerned, when you think today's version of the ABB is pretty good and then you listen to the origial band on East A Peach or Fillmore East or say Dickey's blues solo on Jelly, Jelly on Brothers and Sisters, you suddenly see how far, far better the original band was with putting that ABB sound down in the grove. And the song writing back then was way better. What we have today as the ABB is really just a shadow of what Duane, Dickey&Oakely did.
@ukijhu97 Ouch I heard some rather bad notes from D. Trucks. I thought that was why Dickey had to go. Probably the entire band needs to go. They don't come close to the magic and playing that I heard many times when I was young from Duane, Dickey and Oakely. Hell even Gregg, Jaimoe and Butch aren't as good. Father time is catching up with them and Derek, Warren and Otiel ain't no Duane, Dickey and Oakely. It's a same the ABB ain't what it use to be. Oh well.
@boblackey1 HAHAHA. derek didn't play a single note he didn't intend to. Those "bad notes" built tension in the solo and made it much more interesting to listen to. You're basing your judgement of Derek based on the fact that he doesnt rely solely on the minor pentatonic scale to create his solo? go listen to some John Coltrane...that probably would sound weird to you, so does he suck too? please learn about music and most importantly, expand your ears, before you criticize a genius...
@RyanOFelt If you want to hear the lineup that comes closest to the ORIGINAL lineup's sound, type in "allman brothers blue sky" and listen to the 1991 version from Germany. Or from the same concert "Statesboro Blues" or "Kinda Bird". You've got one thing right. This lineup damn sure doens't sound like the original and I SAY doesn't sound like the Allman Brothers. Also type in "Gary Moore Fender Strat Gibson Les Paul" and listen to someone I think is better than even Derek on guitar!!
@0819Marlene For years Gregg Allman was drunk and stoned on drugs more than Dickey Betts. Gregg was going to quit the Allman Brothers Band because he was fed up with Dickey and so was Butch. When Butch found out from his wife who had talked with Gregg's then wife that Gregg was going to quit, that is when they hatched the plan to get Jaimoe to vote to fire Dickey. At first Jaimoe wouldn't do it and it was just temporary. I wish I knew who you are. Damn if I wouldn't smack you silly!!!!
@boblackey1 HE WAS H-E-A-R-T-B-R-O-K-E-N!!! Duane was not JUST his big brother, or his band partner! BUT he WAS and REMAINS his closest friend.
GREGG was NOT as stoned as some beleive!. And even if he was.(Were YOU picking up his tab!) It's NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!! He REMAINS to this very day the BEST white blues singer on planet Earth! You could put him with a million voices and immediately you would know it's him!!
AND ,He has 3 wonderful sons and a beautiful daughter. Watch yourself!!.
@RyanOFelt Don't forget "Gary Moore Fender Strat Gibson Les Paul" and get back to me about Mr. Moore vs Derek Trucks. Actually I don't care which guitar player is technically better than the other. I only care about how the guitar player or musican on another instrument moves me!! I'll be interested to see if you think Derek can surpass Moore, especiall what he does in the last part with the Gibson Les Paul. I know Duane and Dickey couldn't but still, nobody moves me like them. Fillmore/E.A.P.
I saw him at the Royal Albert Hall last night. He, played alongside Susan Tedeschi, Mick Hucknall, Ronnie Woods, Slash and B. B. King. B. B. knows how to pick "very special guests"...
@krogmank I'll tell you what krogmank. When my "little"(actually, very tall) buddy Derek, can top Duane's "Blue Sky" solo- Live at Stonybrook ,1971. You may have me convinced. But no doubt, he's well on his way!!
And I KNOW Skydog was his "idol". So you know, I'm goin' to luv him anyway! P.S. If you REALLY want to have a "night of it" check Duane out with Aretha Franklin: song "it aint fair" - Hold on, and take Care!
@krogmank P.P.S. - Sorry, krogmank! It's getting late. But if you want a clearer picture of why Derek loves Duane SO MUCH, you can now hear him, not only play ,but speak. And you can get a better idea of who Duane REALLY was! Go to: BB King Medley(interview)- Duane Allman
Skydog is on guitar of course and the MIDNIGHT RIDER is on vocals. The song is on Duane's Anthology Album. But the interview is not. For now only on YT.
I did some fun research of all of the children with rockstar parents or famous musican parents affiliated with famous bands of the past. and I have to say I've researched Sean Lennon, Jeff Buckley, Rufus Wainwright, Jakob Dylan, Etc. and I Have to say DEREK TRUCKS IS BY FAR THE MOST UNDERRATED OF THEM ALL. !!

Just goes to show that you can have alot of emotion in a solo without necessarily having to run around the stage. Not that that can't be fun at times too.

Amazing how the band grows with the solo... its like the entire band is soloing :P
And I hate people stuck in the past.... yeah, Duane was a Genius but not more than Derek nor Warren... Hitting' the note is the best Allman Brothers cd in my opinion... Every song is PERFECT... not Great like all the rest of Allman Brothers... but PERFECT... so stop talking shit about Derek... As far as I am concerned Duane wasn't a guitar god at the age of 12 like Derek...

THE GUITAR!!! IT'S TALKING TO ME!!!
A haunting show of raw emotion through skillful manipulation of the guitar's tonal color, this is among the most moving pieces of music I've seen in a long time. For a while back there I kinda felt sorry I stuck to shred :P

@boblackey1 Sir did you at all read my post before replying? I merely stated that you should learn and understand music before criticising Dereks playing ability. I wasn't questioning the establishment of ABB, we all know how it started. Be proud that guys like Derek, Warren, etc. are willing and capable of keeping the ABB a great source of music for its legion of fans.
gillisryan 6 months ago
@gillisryan It is nice that Derek, Warren etc. are willing and capable of keeping the ABB a great source of music for it's fans. But the facts are the facts. Derek and Warren don't play the old stuff (Liz Reed, Statesboro Blues, Trouble No More, Done Somebody Wrong, Blue Sky etc as good as Duane and Dickey did. Take Trouble No More from Eat a Peach which is a live cut. What version of that song by today's ABB can match what Duane and Dickey and the entire band does on that? Just one example!!

@taylorata3a I'm not a hater. I think Derek Trucks, Warren Haynes, Gary Moore, Eric Clapton, BB King etc etc are great guitar players. Since Moore died I've been listening to him on YouTube and he may have been the best of them all. I'm just telling the truth about the Allman Brothers. What we call the Allman Brothers today isn't on the same level of engery, guitar playing ABB style, creative writing etc as the original ABB. It's not even close. Probably the closest was early 90's w/Warren&Betts
boblackey1 6 months ago
@boblackey1 you're insane. the band is less "southern rock" nowadays, sure, but way more creative and improvisational. if you grew up with them, i can understand having a hard time enjoying the new sound, but from a musicians perspective, they are better now than they have ever been.
RyanOFelt 5 months ago
@taylorata3a When you listen to what Dickey and Duane do on Liz Reed on Fillmore East, the way Duane plays slide on Statesboro Blues, the way the entire band swings on that and Trouble No More, the HOT guitar solos from Dickey and Duane on One Way Out from Eat a Peach, The Atlanta Pop Festival CD, You Don't Love Me from Fillmore East..Now THAT is the Allman Brothers. You just can't listen to that material and say today's Allman Brothers is as good and in the same league. It AIN'T true!!!
boblackey1 6 months ago
@boblackey1 please learn music properly before you make anymore "bad note" comments. You obviously don't understand what is going on here, and have no appreciation for what Derek is expressing on his guitar. You are entitled to an opinion on the ABB of old compared to new, but not so to criticise Dereks guitar technique.
gillisryan 6 months ago
@gillisryan And why is the ABB such an institution? Who is responsible for that? Certainly NOT Derek or Warren Haynes or Otiel. Not even Butch and Jaimoe to a big degree. I would say the no. 1 person behind that is Duane Allman with Gregg Allman and Dickey Betts tied for second and Berry Oakely third. Maybe Warren a distant 8th for co-writing True Gravity with Dickey and his Soulshine. But NO doubt all the ABB original songs that made the band what it is were written by Gregg and Dickey. Agree?
boblackey1 6 months ago
I just watched Derek for the first time with Susan Tedeshi on PBS. What an insane slide player! One of the best I've ever seen for sure. I can't compare one to the other, but I know this guy is amazing.
martinaxman 6 months ago
@boblackey Those aren't "bad" notes. Derek is fully aware of what he is playing. A little thing called dissonance. There are ways to play "inside" the tonic, and then "outside" the tonic. Anyone who has ever played jazz knows this. The very climax of this solo is when he plays those "bad" notes. Getting "out", (of the tonic), when playing is trying to reach new harmonic ideas.
HotRats787 6 months ago 64
@HotRats787 Well be that as it may today's ABB is not even close to what was going on with the 67 shows I saw with the original band. Warren, Derek and Otiel may be hot but they can't do that ABB vibe and TRUE ABB sound like Dickey, Duane and Berry. Hell even Gregg and Jaimoe aren't as good as they were back then. Probably Butch Trucks is the only one who comes close to the original band's superior play, energy and trip into outspace. BTW, if you want to see a player blow Derek away try G. Moore

@0819Marlene Well I'm glad that to you the current ABB is the best live band you've ever seen. And as much as I wish I were 25 again rather than 64, I did see the original lineup 67 times and you will just have to trust me and I bet most who saw the original will agree. Derek, Warren, Otiel etc are NOT at the same level on many different fronts as Duane Allman, Dickey Betts, Berry Oakely etc. To me, probably the closest lineup after the original was Warren, Dickey, Woody but still a distant 2nd.

@boblackey1 I'm not debating whether the ABB of today can hold a candle to the ABB before Duane's untimely passing (may he RIP), but you are being unreasonably harsh on Derek, and I don't think you understand his playing. Read about Hindustanti classical music and the concept of Meend and then tell me that he is somehow playing "bad notes". To me, it is extremely technical and impressive. Derek is great at that, and he can do lots of things Duane never did (not saying he couldn't have).
taylorata3a 6 months ago
@taylorata3a Well they ABB of today can't nail that ABB sound like the original band. Neither Derek, Warren or Otiel or even Gregg for that matter and Jaimoe too...don't get on the same level of playing ABB style as Duane, Dickey Betts and Berry Oakely. As a matter of fact, with Dickey gone, they don't even really sound like the old ABB at all to me. More like the Gregg Allman Band with speical guests Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks. Just a listen to Fillmore East&Eat A Peach shows it clearly.
boblackey1 6 months ago
@boblackey1 I more or less agree with you. I just think that Derek is great in his own right. It is not the same, obviously, but it is still great. Don't obsess over the fact that a different band bears the name of our sadly deceased band of old. Just appreciate that it is also good music, is all I am saying.
taylorata3a 6 months ago
@taylorata3a I wish I were not 64 and saw the ABB 67 times with Duane, Dickey and Oakely. Those three with Gregg's vocals DIFINED the ABB for me. And I know the unique sound of Jaimoe and Butch together had it part too. But the glory days are gone as is the song writing. We will not get anymore songs like Whipping Post, Jessica, Blue Sky, Dreams, Southbound, Liz Reed, Revival, Midnight Rider or even Ramblin' Man. Nobody in the band can pen classics like that including Gregg & Dickey can't either
boblackey1 6 months ago
@taylorata3a The real Allman Brothers Band actually doesn't exist today. What we have today is more a tribute band paying homage to the ABB. Gregg isn't as good, Duane is dead, Oakely is dead, Dickey has been kicked out and probably wouldn't be as good if he were there, Jaimoe has about 1/4 the energy as then. Probably Butch Trucks still kicks it close to back then. But it takes more than Gregg Allman and two drummers to hit me like the original band did the 67 times I saw them. It sad in a way.

@ukijhu97 Even notice as far as the ABB sound is concerned, when you think today's version of the ABB is pretty good and then you listen to the origial band on East A Peach or Fillmore East or say Dickey's blues solo on Jelly, Jelly on Brothers and Sisters, you suddenly see how far, far better the original band was with putting that ABB sound down in the grove. And the song writing back then was way better. What we have today as the ABB is really just a shadow of what Duane, Dickey&Oakely did.
boblackey1 6 months ago
@ukijhu97 Ouch I heard some rather bad notes from D. Trucks. I thought that was why Dickey had to go. Probably the entire band needs to go. They don't come close to the magic and playing that I heard many times when I was young from Duane, Dickey and Oakely. Hell even Gregg, Jaimoe and Butch aren't as good. Father time is catching up with them and Derek, Warren and Otiel ain't no Duane, Dickey and Oakely. It's a same the ABB ain't what it use to be. Oh well.

@boblackey1 HAHAHA. derek didn't play a single note he didn't intend to. Those "bad notes" built tension in the solo and made it much more interesting to listen to. You're basing your judgement of Derek based on the fact that he doesnt rely solely on the minor pentatonic scale to create his solo? go listen to some John Coltrane...that probably would sound weird to you, so does he suck too? please learn about music and most importantly, expand your ears, before you criticize a genius...

@RyanOFelt If you want to hear the lineup that comes closest to the ORIGINAL lineup's sound, type in "allman brothers blue sky" and listen to the 1991 version from Germany. Or from the same concert "Statesboro Blues" or "Kinda Bird". You've got one thing right. This lineup damn sure doens't sound like the original and I SAY doesn't sound like the Allman Brothers. Also type in "Gary Moore Fender Strat Gibson Les Paul" and listen to someone I think is better than even Derek on guitar!!

@0819Marlene For years Gregg Allman was drunk and stoned on drugs more than Dickey Betts. Gregg was going to quit the Allman Brothers Band because he was fed up with Dickey and so was Butch. When Butch found out from his wife who had talked with Gregg's then wife that Gregg was going to quit, that is when they hatched the plan to get Jaimoe to vote to fire Dickey. At first Jaimoe wouldn't do it and it was just temporary. I wish I knew who you are. Damn if I wouldn't smack you silly!!!!

@RyanOFelt Don't forget "Gary Moore Fender Strat Gibson Les Paul" and get back to me about Mr. Moore vs Derek Trucks. Actually I don't care which guitar player is technically better than the other. I only care about how the guitar player or musican on another instrument moves me!! I'll be interested to see if you think Derek can surpass Moore, especiall what he does in the last part with the Gibson Les Paul. I know Duane and Dickey couldn't but still, nobody moves me like them. Fillmore/E.A.P.

@krogmank I'll tell you what krogmank. When my "little"(actually, very tall) buddy Derek, can top Duane's "Blue Sky" solo- Live at Stonybrook ,1971. You may have me convinced. But no doubt, he's well on his way!!
And I KNOW Skydog was his "idol". So you know, I'm goin' to luv him anyway! P.S. If you REALLY want to have a "night of it" check Duane out with Aretha Franklin: song "it aint fair" - Hold on, and take Care!

@krogmank P.P.S. - Sorry, krogmank! It's getting late. But if you want a clearer picture of why Derek loves Duane SO MUCH, you can now hear him, not only play ,but speak. And you can get a better idea of who Duane REALLY was! Go to: BB King Medley(interview)- Duane Allman
Skydog is on guitar of course and the MIDNIGHT RIDER is on vocals. The song is on Duane's Anthology Album. But the interview is not. For now only on YT.
