Dave Matthews Farm Aid 2007 Melissa

[truthislight]

I think the title should be Allman Brothers with Dave Matthews, not the other way around. Still an amazing, brilliant performance. Respect.

[Mmmyess]

Fabulous...especially Warren Haynes!

[proc007]

gorgeous music to my ears

[doshinkanbitz]

Stage full of real musicians! Take not popular music, there will always be a place for truly good music!

[TSaxman74]

From the first time I heard this on Eat a Peach (I guess I was in tenth grade), I was moved by the beautiful and profound simplicity of Allman's music and lyrics. Only song played at Duane Allman's funeral.

[WITTO007]

Awsome song!

[ShuguProductions]

Probably the best video on Youtube.

[derekroy20]

id have to agree

[willalaska]

Just great... an amazing trio.

[morjohnny540]

My favorite song-Just Beutifull

Support our Farmers!!!!

[DWareMhouseB]

Warren Haynes is a beast... He can melt your face with his playing, or if he wants to, he can make a grown man cry lol

[DiCola119]

@DWareMhouseB So can Cherry Pie

[twedell]

Beautiful, i didnt think i could love this song anymore -thaks Dave! Thanks Neil !!! SUPPORT OUR FARMERS!!!!

[Ace21425782]

so simple but so...beautiful

[jonmcroy]

I love the way Dave sings this, they should play it more often.

[ChevyDP]

He's been playing it more often this year

[unraveled76]

i was named after this song.

[andresDMB]

excelente dave matthews desde argentinas fans number one

[filmtress]

Awesome! Love Dave!

[codyr222]

Greg wrote this incredible song when he was like 18. That's nuts...

[riversj88]

he wrote it about duanes motorcycle he died on, i believe. but yeah i agree top 5 in my mind. i love dave but greg should be the only one singing this song

[codyr222]

It was written in 1967, long before Duane's motorcycle crash in 1971. The name comes from a little girl Gregg saw running in a grocery store. The girl's mother was chasing her, yelling, "Melissa! Melissa!" Gregg thought it was a beautiful name. However, of the songs written by Gregg, it was Duane's favorite.

[H0VEN]

That was fantastic to say the least.

[jms11774]

this is absolutely top of the line!!! wish i was there!!

[goodgoodtime29]

this and midnight rider were fucking AMAZING! i have to say though the allman brothers stole the show,as always.

[andrewheller85]

this song was awesome live. all three of them just work so well together.

[riversj88]

the lick at the end is a style that warren learned from dickey. he's my favorite lead guitarist now and probably always be. warren will keep that alive

[codyr222]

yeah, i've definitely picked up some licks from dickey too. especially blues licks played in a major key - like the ones in this song in E major.

[hammondboys1]

what king of guitar is warren playing

[wmcguire2222]

its an AwesomeWH69-03, very rare

[scoopztb]

thats freakin sweet.

[EvangelineEvangeline]

Beautiful music with some of my favorites!

[beckylikesmusic]

oh man...this is awesome. I LOVE them both

[HHHAAA111222]

I agree, from whence Greg came - "spendin' most of my life downtown..." he could be dead. He sounds (almost) as good as any singer his age especially given the path he took getting there.

[willalaska]

Greg, Dave, Warren are awesome on this version of Melissa. Really pays homage to the Duane. I have to disagree with those that think Greg's voice has diminished. I saw this clip on HDNET and Greg's voice has never sounded better and he looks great! He lost a lot of weight and quit smoking, got healthy. The voice change is due this. His voice is much more crisp and precise but still maintains the Allman soul. Dave brings so much to this song with his harmonies. Terrific lead G. Peace Brothers.

[Phishboy26]

This is the vid a friend of me was telling me about. Her name is Melissa.

[flbuddyok]

I have been lucky enough to see some amazing players duet before. Townshend-Vedder, Jerry and Dylan, both Clapton and Robert Cray with the Stones, etc... But this is one I would have loved to have seen. Both Dave's and Greg's voices were far from their top form, but who cares. On a song this wonderful and the amazing playing of Warren to boot, this had to be a very special moment for everyone there. This has to be one of the prettiest rock and roll tunes ever recorded.

[FireFightingDMB41]

Ahhhh I Saw This In Piedmont!!! I Almost Died... But Honestly Haynes Makes It That Much Better... But Yea I Love This Song... And I Don't Know What It Is But Daves Voice On Duet Songs Like This Is Amazing... Like On Cortez...

[Aircoolerkirk]

Two great tastes that taste great together.

[poopingfondly]

regardless, haynes is deff. one of the best guitarists out there, he can shred it.

[paazei007]

is he really 100% deff?? how can u play guitar than? or is he not entirely deff?

[poopingfondly]

i meant definately.. not deaf.. haha sorry.

[paazei007]

oh :D sorry, my mistake I though the dot behind "deff" was the dot from the end of a sentence...

[wexona]

gregg-man with feeling!

[Randyregan]

this was the best part of my day... for you who werent there it was 106 degrees out

[laxattack260]

dude honestly no one cares how hot it was... to me its all about the music like this that matters

[Randyregan]

i know i am saying that this made the day so much better cuz it was sucking until then

[Beaudreau]

lol ur not worthy thats awesome just for saying that i claim u to be worthy

[Stouggies]

99.9% of you are all worthy, the other .1, well you are worthy too, since you still like this.

[squirrelpiss]

are you serious? this actually happened, and people actually got to see these guys play together...thats ridiculous, im not worthy.

[boxerjeep]

greg allman, dave matthews, AND Warren Haynes....... Melissa!!!!! What more could ya ask for? God do I wish I saw this live!!!

[cito4633]

Warren Haynes is probably the best damn guitarist playing these days---Gregg's vocal started out weak but got somewhat better--- Too bad he doesn't have the voice he had 30 years ago.

[babaoriley8]

I doubt hes the best around,hes at least one of the best, I mean you need to check out some of the other guys out there brah

[SlideGit]

Yes, Gregg Allman's voice sounds remarcably unstable, thin and brittle compared to these early days when he was an outstanding vocalist (see his first versions of "Dreams" and so..). But still no lack of feeling.

Warren Haynes has learnt a lot from Dickey Betts, no fooling. He keeps things staying alive.

[ragefrk1]

Holy crap this is good

[JackBabsDMB]

its not good......its superb!

[ragefrk1]

Your right, it is superb

[billymullarky]

thanks

[es1019]

you wouldn't happen to have dreaming tree from this show, would you?
