Tradition of the Allman Brothers to have such tight guitarists Duane, Dicky and now the second generation with Warren and Butch’s son Derek But I still favor Duane’s version the best…sorry.
@Wharfomatic i always pay my respects to T Bone when i perform, i have made Stormy Monday one of my standards, and sing it to him and to my son who died of lukemia on a monday two years ago……..
Early SGs were badged Gibson Les Paul SGs and Derek has at least one of these so it’s an easy mistake to make. Les Paul supposedly didn’t like them and asked Gibson to take his name off but it took a couple of years for that to happen. More on wiki!
Trant…that’s Warren Haynes from Government Mule on the left, and old Boz himself on your right…still hangin’ with the best of ‘em after all these years!
Okay, you are from UK, thought from US. I am ready to join the ABB fan choir: come here Brothers ! And if they only come to Denmark I will let you know . And thanks for your tip, I will check out ABB with those guys.
Well we’re all fans really… but check out some of the ABB performances with Jack Pearson or Jimmy Herring on board. Those guys play on a whole new level and have moved the instrument on substantially from where Duane (imho the best of his era) left off, Derek too. I’d love to see the ABB in the UK soon: maybe if we all ask loudly enough we’ll get a European tour!
Hey Mister jackcame2. I respect your comment and opinion, but I still find the attitude from the, for me, new ABB guitarists different. Good, but not the soul and feeling. Heard this version of Loan me a dime again, and got the same feeling. But, offcause, I am great fan of Duane and its possible my ears are coloured… Move on with the blues of the south and lets have ABB in Denmark soon.
Derek is only doing what Duane would have done if he hadn’t died so tragically young. The idea that Duane, Hendrix etc can’t be bettered is plain unfair to today’s greats (some of whom have done time with the ABB). Everybody has to reference it back to someone (even Duane). And neither Trucks nor Haynes are speed merchants anyway! Derek imho is the best at getting the Duane feel while never sounding like a tribute guitarist. Move on Niel and give respect where it’s due.

Outstanding! Nice to see that Boz can still play that Les Paul! Wonderful to see this performance with the Miami Horns! Purely priceless!

Not sure who put “In response to….etc…” but Duane’s not playing a Les Paul. That’s a Gibson SG that he bought off of Dickie Betts
Comment by 7305Rory on 22 December 2010:
Sweet sweet blues. I thank you all. Wow.
Comment by Raven101able on 22 December 2010:
I saw Bozz do this at least 10 times. This is one I missed. Where was this? Duane Allman? Rare footage here.
Thank you!
So much!

Dont get that buzy on guitar Haynes and Trucks…. The reason Duane lifted the music higher than anyone is the feeling, not the speed ! Duane Forever !
