Abig thank you to the one who put it in here

[redwards9955]

you gotta love jeff pacaro too, one of the best

[hieronomy]

This is some great guitar playing !

[lwplwp]

I once saw Les as the guitarist for Boz Skaggs (a position Duane once held for a bit) and he was amazing. He, Stevie Miller and James Cotton all got together for a jam and it had to be seen to believe. Les got at least 5 standing ovations....Stevie got two and one was with Les. He was GREAT on "Somebody Loan Me a Dime"

[zzacksback]

@lwplwp i COULDNT AGREE MORE .....THIS GUY IS AN AMAZING GUITAR PLAYER !!!!

[xsellsbrod]

Les Dudek ?? of course, i am happy to call the record : Ghost town parade my own.

If possible , i would lieke to hear and see: Does anybody care , too.

[TheHugoJazz]

I was looking for this song for more then ten years. Still raising memories

[bizthin]

Haven't heard that tune in 25+ years!

[batsdude]

want to hear the LEAD guitar on 'Ramblin Man', if this dosen't sound familiar, you're tone deaf!

[APACHESKULL]

Les has to be one of the top guitarist ever! Amazing,.. most people wouldnt even know who he is. All his albums are great,..and I believe he co-wrote alot of songs for the Allman Bros.

[lwplwp]

Anybody ever notice Les was credited with lead guitar on Ramblin' Man. Anyone know the story?

[pbourget]

Yes. It was shortly after the Allman Brothers Band's tragic loss of Duane Allman. A few weeks later Dickie Betts was looking for another guitarist. Les auditioned and got the job. He played on "Ramblin' Man" and "Jessica".

[petervankan1]

Actually, it was not shortly after Duane's death in 1971. And Les was never in the band. He just played on a few tracks of Brothers and Sisters (1973). What is called 'lead guitar' in Ramblin Man is really the riff behind the solo of Dickey Betts.

Les was a good guitarist, not a genius like Duane though.

[lindaharris26]

les is a good player eh! he does have that frank marino sound! it don`t get any better than that!!!! rock on! russ.

[dhjdhj]

C'mon Les, start it up again!

[bammramm]

Does anybody know the group DFK( Dudek Finnegan Krueger) they made one album/ a classic!

[xpoppiox]

awesome...ole Les workin the hell out of the pentatonic scale..love this tune

[15chipshops]

He should be called Les Dude...

[hatoulla]

Les is the best!

[Classicrockfan71]

A famous DJ in Holland, Frits Spits, used this song as the openingtune for his radio program 'De Avondspits'. Today's his 60th. birthday, and he was knighted 'live on air' in his new program. Congratulations !

[Deify2007]

War eben in einer Disco...es war einfach der Alptraum! Also Ohren zu und nach innen gehorcht - und mir fiel Les Dudek ein. was hat man nicht schon vor Jahrzehnten für geile Musik gemacht!! Ein Stück von ihm entschädigt für einen Abend mit Müll-Mucke.

[theoriginalsmegman]

I have been a fan of Les for more years than I care to admit to. "Old Judge Jones" with the riff in the middle is just great. Les is one of the greatest guitar players ever..

[jitterbug121]

Cool.Thanks 4 posting :)

[mcddtlc]

Hey I saw Les a few times live out here in LA!!

Me & my friends loved this guy, put on a great show!

Dave Mason showed up at the Santa Monica Civic & jammed - great memories.. MLC

[plampis]

I saw him open for Kansas on the 4th of July 1978. Never owned a Kansas album but got every Les Dudek album the next day.

[stratmajic]

Isn't youtube grand. Cant believe I found this. Les was one of my favs wat back when.

[futsal1958]

I got a good live show from '76 that is on a Maxell tape. No vid', though, unfortunately.

[jhanlon18]

theres a good les dudek clip, with him backing BOZ SCAGGS on his 1977 tour. Great guitar break on the song Lowdown.

[aunghous]

now that brings back some memorys of good times.

[5thofgin]

what was the album,s name with him pouing a bottle of champagne in a girls [who was upside down ]glass...oh yea love the name ginanddiatonic

[computercurtis]

the name of that album was "Say No More"

[ZOSOSkydog2112]

it actuley ghost town parade.

[computercurtis]

Hey...

No, I was responding to the other question posted that asked...What was the name of the album with the champagne glass and the champagne pouring upside down.....but.... I never heard Les' first album... I need to buy it. Happy New Year to a fellow fan, and check out my amatuer attempts at computercurtis. Happy New Year!!!!!

[taxirock]

it´s called: SAY NO MORE ;-)

[gracelier]

@computercurtis

It is indeed Say No More... Les was always good with babes, champagne, and birds! What a guitar player, too!

[PokerJokerFokNL]

Wow, finally found it, one of my all-time favs. Been looking for this one for decades. Even our national radio -dj who used the drums as his intro for 17 years coulnd't help me find it. Thnx a billions taxirock

[benvye]

His first album still knocks me out-It Can Do, City Magic,Sad Clown, Don't Stop Now. He corralled some of the finest studio musicians to make this-Jeff Porcaro, Chuck Rainey, David Paich-This album just smokes!

[ginanddiatonic]

I grew up with Les, I love him like a brother.

I am still waiting for the recording that really defines him. I don't know if that is do-able on one disc, his tone is perfect. He is one of the greatest electric slide guitarist I have ever had the pleasure of sitting in with. Pete

[marinellibo]

Les Dudek is the Baddest guitar ever!
