God I love the fact that someone else out there in the world thinks the way I do and has the same memory triggers. And I thought I was the only weird one for a while, lol.

 

I've only shared this with a few people through the years, back many years ago my beautiful wife would ask me to sing this song to her every night that I was home before we went to sleep. I'd roll up a doobie, the baby would be asleep in another room and we would lay in bed watching tv and I'd sing this song while she went to sleep. God I miss those days.

 

Great version, even without Duane. Awesome flow of music, Gregg's voice is so smooth and the picking is so soothing. And Warren Haynes playing that slide is divine!!!

 

You have to admit this is some amazing ****. Duane was ONLY 24 years old when he was killed. Imagine what he could have done at 30, 40, 50 + years old with more practice and skills. Its pretty amazing to think about what this young man was capable of. Good Lord almighty. A kid in his early 20s laid down tracks that still move us to this day is pretty amazing. His skills are still imitated and followed by countless other guys, yet he was just a kid himself.

 

"I remember hearing Hey Jude by Wilson Pickett and calling Tom Dowd and saying 'who is that guitar player' and he said, 'its a guy called Skydog, Duane Allman, and to this day, I've never heard better rock guitar playing on an R&B record"

Quoted from Eric Clapton, the guitar God, speaking about Duane Allman.

 

This is some killer sheet. 22 minutes of history in the hall of rock and blues fame. This defines it all when it comes to rock and blues. Not to mention guitar legends.

 

Whoa . . . Got kind of tipsy last night! Probably merge this thread into the, "What are you listening to?" thread later today. Darn Old Fashioneds . . .

 

Jason having a few drinks? Nawwww!

Qello/Raconteurs live at montreux

Great, great performance!

 

Great song. Really well written.

 

Unless you're a real music fan, most people never realized that one of the greatest rock songs of all time (which is constantly rated as such buy people in the music industry) is Layla. And most people don't know that the guitar work that made it great was a culmination. Eric Clapton (God by most standards in the guitar world) loved Duane Allman, thought he was a guitar genius, loved his music and style, and Duane was what you heard on the Layla song playing that soul crushing guitar, that slide and screaming Gibson was all the work of Skydog laying it down.

 

Adding to the above post, I love a Fender guitar, Clapton wailing on one was amazing. But that screaming Gibson in the back ground with someone wailing on it with a slide was out of this world and nobody can deny that. That picking was something that will never be matched. Duane and the Gibson with a slide in the background behind that piano? Get the **** out of here, you ain't going to come close to the magic that happened in that room.

Don't give a **** who you are, Duane playing a Gibson with a glass Corocidin cold medicine bottle as a slide was some serious ****, even as great as he is, I don't care if Clapton was in the session, Duane ruled it all.

 

And even farther...
The mastermind behind the greatest rock song of all time..... "some guy called Skydog Allman" "I was blown away by this guy" Eric Clapton talking about Duane Allman.



Great ****ing video, explains a lot about the true roots of our rock music. That is some serious **** from some serious people. Still gonna deny the relevance of Southern Rock? I don't think so, listen to the experts and the Gods of Rock like Clapton, these guys weren't just hillbillies from Ga., they were musical geniuses.

Evil Capri really needs to watch this video if he hasn't seen it. It would move him to the core if he is the person I think he is.

 

To have Eric Clapton say he was blown away by this band and this guitar player is some serious shiit. How often do you have a guitar legend, a rock God and musical genius say he is "blown away" by a band and a guitar player?

Those are notes that are not even on the instrument, they are notes that come directly from the finger tips, notes that are off the top of the instrument, that is what makes these people magnificent guitar players, its in the tips of their fingers, its not in the ***** or how loud they play, its touch. (Producer Tom Dowd, I think)

 

Freakin' fantastic! Knew about their relationship, playing, etc., but I still love watching videos/documentaries such as the one you posted.

 

I'd like to see that. Qello does not support Chromcast, but I may still get the free trial.

 

Our house is littered with Apple TVs so I can watch it anywhere.
