If you have ever listened to this song in its entirety, it rocks along until Duane's solo. Then he kicks it up a notch. Listen to Berry Oakley and Duane feeding off each other. The segment starting at 3:27 has always been one of my favorites. Just can't say enough of his playing. Left us to soon.
One of my favorite solos by Duane. I try to get the essence of it when I play it. It's hard. I've listened to over and over. I really want to get that sound too. It's amazing!
Duane Allman has been dead 40 years today. We love you Duane. You are the god of slide guitar. No one will ever touch your skill even with a glass bottle of coricidin
This is Duane Allman's solo from "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed", from the Live at Filmore East LP recorded in March 1971. It is an iconic solo from an iconic track from an iconic record. The song was written by Dicky Betts and was included on the ABB's second album, Idlewild South. LAFE was originally a two-disc album, and this was the second song on the side three (the second disc), preceded by "Hot 'Lanta." This is considered the definitive recording of the tune.
Those Rolling Stone lists are usually nonsense, but they probably did get the the first two spots right on that one. Jimi and Duane, Ali and Frazier, Magic and Bird - take your pick.

@uhmfar clapton was number 2 on the RS list though, not duane, unfortunately. then again,they also had john lennon well ahead of robbie robertson, as well as robert johnson, so their credibility is sort of suspect.
my dad used to listen to this when I was a kid but I didn't snap...now that I'm 31.. i dig it!..
I was listening to the radio and Whipping Post came on so I did a search and found out who sung it and started to listen to more of theirs(w/Duane) - excellent.
i hadn't heard much from this band or Duane, but from what I've heard..it's pretty fricken sweet.
everybody wants to compare guitarists but nobody pays attention to the rest of the band which were both awesome (the experience and the allman brothers
c'mon! why you fight of Jimi vs Duane?, don't be assholes, I'm pretty sure they both weren't enemies!! Surely they enjoyed the music of the other!, so SHUT UP & LET'S HEAR THE MUSIC!!
The worst thing about Duane's death is that it was a terrible accident. Many other stars died due to drug abuse and related issues, but Duane died in a motorcycle accident, and reading about how it happened almost brings a tear to my eye.
Good God Almighty!!! You never get tired of the spontaeous combustion Duane captured that night at the Fillmore East! He went way to soon, man! I love to hear the man and his band live when the firezone hits them! Oak was right in there! Always love this! Thanks! The Outlaw Macon, Ga.
@dukenukem4lifeyo123 Hendrix lived much more than Duane. If Duane had lived a few more years, now we would be saying "Allman/Betts" as best guitar duo as we say "Lennon/McCartney" as best singers and songwriters. Duane Allman couldn't even taste his most popular songs becouse he died before they became famous. I can't say that Duane was better than Jimmi, but I say Jimmi had much more exposure opportunities and was very popular during his life. Just imagine Duane @Woodstock... He died at 24...
@dukenukem4lifeyo123 Like who cares? Why is it somebody always has to compare their guitar hero to another guitarist? They were BOTH great in their own right. Neither one had to prove himself to the other, so why do you? We should appreciate each one on their own merits, agreed?
@dukenukem4lifeyo123 The only people that compare Duane Allman to Hendrix are you guys the Hendrix fans...Duane Allman was in class by himself and light years in every respect ahead of Hendrix. There is no way to compare the two artist's, they are vastly different.
@Skyman46 No one compares Hendrix to ANYONE! Not at all! not even me! I just said that Ive noticed that many fans of guitarists like Zappa, Clampton, and Duane compare those guys to Hendrix! But no one compares Hendrix to anyone!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@Skyman46 How can you say Duane is "light years in every respect ahead of Hendrix" and then say you can't compare the two? You just compared them. You either can or can't.
No other word to describe Duane other than Amazing... takes this solo into five or six "moods" so to speak. the guy could wail, then next minute transition into a melo jazz 'george beson' feel absolutely flawlessly... He had great chops, but he brought such creativity to his music and leads. He was not a Malmsteen or Steve Morse techinical player, but he brought such creative 'soul' and feel to his music that really separated him from his guitar peers..and all at age 24.
Duane Allman was killed in a motorcycle accident While in the western part of Macon on October 29, 1971 during a band break from touring and recording, Allman was riding his motorcycle toward an oncoming truck that was turning well in front of him. Allman lost control of his Harley-Davidson Sportster motorcycle while trying to swing left,, crushing his internal organs. , he died several hours later, just weeks before his 25th birthday.
ok... Duane was / is / will be a legend, but .... so was Hendrix & Eric & BB King... they were all masters of a trade of the truly gifted. to compare them esp to each other is not fair as they all have their own sound, soul and a fire to burn all... so instead lets enjoy them and not fight over who the best was........!
Fuck off with this Jimi Hendrix bullshit. allman was ten times the man and guitarist, there is no debate, so stop bringing your shit upon this beautiful work. And Jimmy played in bands before Hendri was even out so there.
i am 53 saw the abb first when i was 17, first live performance i attended only new about ramblin man, i am going to the becon in ny in march. inbetween i've learned and studied about skydog . the fact is he's so godlike, that god himself loved his slide playin and quick finger magic so much that he called home, but left us his music untill we all see him live in a peaceful life.
This music is all about feeling. It was written by Betts but the idea is that each member of the group "shines", not carrying if Betts was the one who wrote the lines that lead the song (for instance, the last line was actually written by Dickey Betts but Duane had the freedom to jam until he looks at the other guys and they play the final line)! It is a brotherhood of musicians, not just 2 brothers who have a band.
@deadnorth00 go post somewhere else, you're simply making that posting to troll for an argument, well guess what it's your opinion whos the best. opinions are like assholes, everyones got one and they all stink.
how did i end up listening 2 this redneck noise? check out the inbred fuckers lol what a pack of ugly mutants. guitar homos might not rate bieber quite as technically good as this dead redneck but at least there's some structure instead of this fucking mess lol
@HUTUMAGIC You obviously don't get it do you? Answer this then, why is he in the top 10 guitarists of all time in every list? Look i don't like this song but have to give him props on it. The solo is amazing!
@HolyFerdinand Again what do you hope to accomplish??? I don't even talk to my friends and most of em are people that sent me friend requests in an effort to advertise whatever it is that they're promoting.
I always thought this song was more to show off Dickey's guitar chops, I guess it went both ways: shows how much of gods both him and Duane are (obviously Duane being the more godlike).
the only people who compare and rate guitarists such as Duane and Jimi obviously don't play guitar and simply listen to the music not really knowing how it is produced. Every guitarist out there has something that the other doesn't. Jimi is not better than Duane and Duane is not better than Jimi. It's not even a question of who is better. Each guitarists is his own. A real guitarist and musician shows respect and knows that.

@HolyFerdinand He's so annoying. I came on this video to enjoy and discuss the brilliance of Duane Allman, and instead of an intelligent discussion I find some halfwitted fanboy denigrating everything besides Duane. And, to top it all off, I've found him trolling Eric Clapton videos. He just doesn't understand that Hendrix, Allman, Clapton, SRV etc are all great guitarists and can all be appreciated for what they are - legends of guitar.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Lol @ the flamewars. All because of some shitty Rolling Stone list? Calm the fuck down. Jimi and Duane are two of the best to ever do it, don't throw pissy fits, you 12 year olds.
Verry Experimental rock, really could see myself been stoned chilling to this back in the 70's or whenever this was lol, never really followed Allman bro's
Why people come here to talk bullshit about Hendrix?, in Hendrix videos nobody blames out Allman, so do the same fuckin thing, i admire these two guys (gods), and both are the greater guitarist of all times.
duane allman's solos are intense, raw emotional experiences, every note screaming, cajoling, pleading - redolent of lifes sorrows and passions. they transcend the everyday. they cannot be compared. they bring me to tears.
I don't think there's a best guitarist, I think there's a group of guitarists who's styles are so iconic, it's impossible to compare, it's like saying the color blue is better than green. If your goin to make lists, make it for yourself! Your favorites! So in that case i would have to go with Frank Zappa, Duane, Hendrix, Lifeson, Jack White! you can't beat that in my book
Hey, I've got an idea... how about just agreeing that both Allman and Hendrix are better guitarists than all of us combined, listen to the fantastic music, and move on...?
Jesus Christ! What's wrong with you people? Do you think anyone back in 1970 was arguing about who was "better," Duane or Jimi? Get your heads out of your asses. We were just digging the music. All this "X is better than Y" is for the fuckin' birds. If you can't hear what Duane is doing or what Jimi is doing you're too stupid to be making public comments on either. Get lost.

@Skyman46 I've read all your response comments, lol. You engaged me. Furthermore, don't not respond to my comments to pretend like I'm the one ignoring you. I'll take your word for it those songs aren't slide, I honestly haven't listened to that CD in a while, though I do recall thinking Elizabeth Reed was the best track. But I disagree with you on one thing, I do think Duane's greatest achievement was his slide work.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@HolyFerdinand Anyhow, it's great if you prefer Duane, but when you say Jimi Hendrix is overrated or unskilled you're setting yourself up for a harsh reprisal, because neither is true. There's no need to respond to this if you don't want to. Once again, you engaged me initially. If you don't want to argue, then don't make the argument.
Cada artista es perfecto a su manera, comparar a hendrix, duane, clapton, slash, bb king, page, entre otros, representan ideas vacias... conclusiones relativas
He actually said chord progression and sequences is more important than incredible lead guitar like this??? The day chord progression becomes more important than lead guitar is the day that any idiot who ever picked up a guitars becomes as famous as Jimi Hendrix.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@Skyman46 er...If you're referring to me, I complimented Jimi's rhythm technique as being one of the many reasons he's superior to Duane Allman, who's more like the master of a certain field on guitar than an overall innovator like Hendrix. Your defense was 'Hendrix doesn't know where to go with his solos,' which I've disproved by showing your examples where he...very much DID know where to go, and after that I proceeded to troll you, because you behave like an idiot.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@Skyman46 Sir, I've already given you two examples, and you dismissed them as unique. The fact is, comparing Jimi to Duane on Duane's standards is unfair. Jimi could NEVER play slide like Duane, no one could, but Duane wasn't capable of getting the sounds Hendrix was out of the feedback. But saying Hendrix is 'just raw' or just 'an overall good musician' without giving credit to his instrumental prowess is bull. Both of them are complete masters, for christ's sake.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Those examples you gave for Duane's highlights are all great, and in fact they're only a partial review of his greatest moments, but Jimi has his as well, for example: Pali Gap, Machine Gun, Voodoo Chile, Slight Return, Freedom, Electric Church Red House (personal favorite), Third Stone From The Sun (a personal ALLMAN BROS favorite, lol), The Stars That Play with Laughing Man's Dice, and Villinova Juction, among others still. Neither Jimi nor Duane can truly be ranked above one another.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@Skyman46 er....I'm not sure which versions you're referring to...but he played lead slide dude, and Dickey was the basically the second lead/non-slide guitarist. I pretty much only listen to live Allman Bros anyhow, so I don't know about the studio version however. Duane killed on guitar, agreed. And yeah, you did sort of start it dude, I wasn't even being serious at that point. Still, Jimi is a great songwriter, yeah, but as a guitarist, he and Duane are both all-time masters.
@I I must respectively disagree! First let me say that I have both Duane Allman Anthologies and I love Duane. having siad that Hendrix was a genius. Too many guitarists focus on "Purple Haze" , "Machine Gun" and "Foxy Lady" Take some time and listen to "Little Wing" and "The Wind Cries Mary" These are incredible tunes with amazing chord sequences. Hendrix invented various "suspensions" and little introductions and fill-ins that can barely be replicated How many guitarists can play "Little Wing"
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
oh yeah and hendrix never played botttle neck slide . but he did play slide with a cigarrete lighter .. oh yeah and allman never played with his teeth or behing his head or behind his back or between his legs .
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@imkg09 hendrix has played with slide. and not only on all along the watchtower. he has a southern blues album if u listen to it u will hear him play it . but i dont think he plays as much
I'm 15 and i'm Jimi Hendrix and Duane Allman fan... they are both fantastic guitarist, but this solo is outstanding.. that's it, i've got nothing else to say..
Sorry to burst your bubble, mate. But Hendrix learnt how to master acoustic before jumping onto electric, and during that process, he learnt how to mississipi delta blues on his own, which requires bottle neck. Mind you his guitar was upside down. That's why many regards him as a guitar genius. He knew where all his chords were, though he's utilising a right handed guitar. And yeah, He also played slide guitar on several of Bob Dylan tracks.
From a dude who's playing style has been infulenced by both Allman and Hendrix, I must admit that Hendrix is better. Don't get me wrong, Allman was a great guitarist. His rapid riffs, warm and thumping solo made him one of the most influencianal guitar players of all time. But Hendrix, i mean common... He's the guy who made Mr. Clapton say "Holy Shit, how did he do that?!". He's aggressive driving solos and jaw dropping licks were out of this world mate... and his guitar was upside-down, too...
@Skyman46 Oh my God, you're so fucking stuborn. Both my great uncle and his brother worked in sessions with Allman Brothers over in New Orleans. They also had the oppurtunity to help Cream produce their first album. The Hendrix Experience came around, borrowed Cream studio in London. My uncle was one of the first people to witness Hendrix on the guitar in a studio. So, my family are better placed to judge who was better.
@Dilanho10 It is common knowledge that hendrix fans are in complete DENIAL....It's evident in every solo Duane left behind why he was clearly better more intelligent not to mention cleaner than Jimi ever was, when we are talking strictly guitar. Obviously Jimi was an important figure and a good solid songwriter but Brother Duane Allman owned the guitar, ACCEPT it.
Clapton and Hendrix are two of the most overrated guitarists that rock-n-roll world will ever know...the prima donnas of rock.

@Skyman46 clearly u hav never heard hendrix. he is not better in any way and neither is duane .hendrix is alot differnt. if u listen to him live it would always sound different and never sounded like the album or another live show. hendri also sang while playing godly solos as such like this. hendrix also was the founder of overdrive and there is no comparioson to any other artist today .he could make alien like noises with his guitar and make it cry and sing. listen to third stone from the sun
@mechtech104 Clearly you have no idea what you['re talking about. WHY ARE YOU HERE??? Why must snot-nosed some of you just plain psychotic come here and disturb the peace serenity tranquility and grace that was Duane Allman. When I was growing up it was still Duane Allman that was talked about very few hendrix fans in the Chicago land area back then. What you're listening to is the hype that Al Hendrix created to sell his sons music and to make shit load of money. Leave Duane Allman fans alone.

hey, it's my old music-bitch, still spewing his bullshit after having run away from a confrontation with someone who knows what they're talking about.

Oh, and YOU'RE the one disturbing the peace here. If Duane was here, he'd tell you to shut the fuck up. Oh, and Clapton also>Duane.

Oh, and just for my trouble, you also have to admit that you're a complete fag who wants Duane's heterosexual dick shoved in your ass with the rapidity of a slide guitar solo. I'm waiting.
@HolyFerdinand Kid take your psyche medicine and the whole world will seem a little brighter. I cannot tell a lie Jimi was a star and Brother Duane Allman was an incredible guitarist/musician that we will never see again. Jimi was a good songwriter and a good cross-dresser but Brother Duane owned the guitar. There's no comparison Duane blew his doors off, you need to accept reality for your own good. Again with the Holidays approaching I'm trying to get in a holiday spirit, you should too :))

I always thought this song was more to show off Dickey's guitar chops, I guess it went both ways: shows how much of gods both him and Duane are (obviously Duane being the more godlike).

the only people who compare and rate guitarists such as Duane and Jimi obviously don't play guitar and simply listen to the music not really knowing how it is produced. Every guitarist out there has something that the other doesn't. Jimi is not better than Duane and Duane is not better than Jimi. It's not even a question of who is better. Each guitarists is his own. A real guitarist and musician shows respect and knows that.

@HolyFerdinand He's so annoying. I came on this video to enjoy and discuss the brilliance of Duane Allman, and instead of an intelligent discussion I find some halfwitted fanboy denigrating everything besides Duane. And, to top it all off, I've found him trolling Eric Clapton videos. He just doesn't understand that Hendrix, Allman, Clapton, SRV etc are all great guitarists and can all be appreciated for what they are - legends of guitar.
Right, that's it; rant over.

I don't think there's a best guitarist, I think there's a group of guitarists who's styles are so iconic, it's impossible to compare, it's like saying the color blue is better than green. If your goin to make lists, make it for yourself! Your favorites! So in that case i would have to go with Frank Zappa, Duane, Hendrix, Lifeson, Jack White! you can't beat that in my book

All this "X is better than Y" is for the fuckin' birds. If you can't hear what Duane is doing or what Jimi is doing you're too stupid to be making public comments on either. Get lost.

@Skyman46 I've read all your response comments, lol. You engaged me. Furthermore, don't not respond to my comments to pretend like I'm the one ignoring you. I'll take your word for it those songs aren't slide, I honestly haven't listened to that CD in a while, though I do recall thinking Elizabeth Reed was the best track. But I disagree with you on one thing, I do think Duane's greatest achievement was his slide work.

@HolyFerdinand Anyhow, it's great if you prefer Duane, but when you say Jimi Hendrix is overrated or unskilled you're setting yourself up for a harsh reprisal, because neither is true. There's no need to respond to this if you don't want to. Once again, you engaged me initially. If you don't want to argue, then don't make the argument.

@Skyman46 er...If you're referring to me, I complimented Jimi's rhythm technique as being one of the many reasons he's superior to Duane Allman, who's more like the master of a certain field on guitar than an overall innovator like Hendrix. Your defense was 'Hendrix doesn't know where to go with his solos,' which I've disproved by showing your examples where he...very much DID know where to go, and after that I proceeded to troll you, because you behave like an idiot.

@Skyman46 Sir, I've already given you two examples, and you dismissed them as unique. The fact is, comparing Jimi to Duane on Duane's standards is unfair. Jimi could NEVER play slide like Duane, no one could, but Duane wasn't capable of getting the sounds Hendrix was out of the feedback. But saying Hendrix is 'just raw' or just 'an overall good musician' without giving credit to his instrumental prowess is bull. Both of them are complete masters, for christ's sake.
HolyFerdinand 1 year ago

Those examples you gave for Duane's highlights are all great, and in fact they're only a partial review of his greatest moments, but Jimi has his as well, for example: Pali Gap, Machine Gun, Voodoo Chile, Slight Return, Freedom, Electric Church Red House (personal favorite), Third Stone From The Sun (a personal ALLMAN BROS favorite, lol), The Stars That Play with Laughing Man's Dice, and Villinova Juction, among others still. Neither Jimi nor Duane can truly be ranked above one another.

@Skyman46 er....I'm not sure which versions you're referring to...but he played lead slide dude, and Dickey was the basically the second lead/non-slide guitarist. I pretty much only listen to live Allman Bros anyhow, so I don't know about the studio version however. Duane killed on guitar, agreed. And yeah, you did sort of start it dude, I wasn't even being serious at that point. Still, Jimi is a great songwriter, yeah, but as a guitarist, he and Duane are both all-time masters.

@I I must respectively disagree! First let me say that I have both Duane Allman Anthologies and I love Duane. having siad that Hendrix was a genius. Too many guitarists focus on "Purple Haze" , "Machine Gun" and "Foxy Lady" Take some time and listen to "Little Wing" and "The Wind Cries Mary" These are incredible tunes with amazing chord sequences. Hendrix invented various "suspensions" and little introductions and fill-ins that can barely be replicated How many guitarists can play "Little Wing"

Sorry to burst your bubble, mate. But Hendrix learnt how to master acoustic before jumping onto electric, and during that process, he learnt how to mississipi delta blues on his own, which requires bottle neck. Mind you his guitar was upside down. That's why many regards him as a guitar genius. He knew where all his chords were, though he's utilising a right handed guitar. And yeah, He also played slide guitar on several of Bob Dylan tracks.
Dilanho10 1 year ago
From a dude who's playing style has been infulenced by both Allman and Hendrix, I must admit that Hendrix is better. Don't get me wrong, Allman was a great guitarist. His rapid riffs, warm and thumping solo made him one of the most influencianal guitar players of all time. But Hendrix, i mean common... He's the guy who made Mr. Clapton say "Holy Shit, how did he do that?!". He's aggressive driving solos and jaw dropping licks were out of this world mate... and his guitar was upside-down, too...

@Skyman46 Oh my God, you're so fucking stuborn. Both my great uncle and his brother worked in sessions with Allman Brothers over in New Orleans. They also had the oppurtunity to help Cream produce their first album. The Hendrix Experience came around, borrowed Cream studio in London. My uncle was one of the first people to witness Hendrix on the guitar in a studio. So, my family are better placed to judge who was better.
Dilanho10 1 year ago
@Dilanho10 It is common knowledge that hendrix fans are in complete DENIAL....It's evident in every solo Duane left behind why he was clearly better more intelligent not to mention cleaner than Jimi ever was, when we are talking strictly guitar. Obviously Jimi was an important figure and a good solid songwriter but Brother Duane Allman owned the guitar, ACCEPT it.
Clapton and Hendrix are two of the most overrated guitarists that rock-n-roll world will ever know...the prima donnas of rock.

When I was growing up it was still Duane Allman that was talked about very few hendrix fans in the Chicago land area back then. What you're listening to is the hype that Al Hendrix created to sell his sons music and to make shit load of money. Leave Duane Allman fans alone.
