Duane is the GOAT in my opinion. There are many great guitar players but to me he is the only one who could sit in with literally anyone. He always plays the right notes at the right time.
It's not what you play, it's how you play it. Duane is one of my favs (I always go between Dave Gilmour and he after Hendrix) because he just smashes every note. From bends to slides to vibrato, everything moves and it moves you. Everyone should play and sing just like this. :) Be the wizard that makes the whole crowd feel it and you'll be adored.
duane was not a goat. he was my hero.. i still have a fender in the front room. i don't think duane was keen on strats, but they are easy to play and i am lazy
I was in the second row, center. My friend from the Army was the stage manager of the Fillmore East. After the show I was taken back stage and introduced to the band and later went on to play the blues harp with the Duane Allman band when they were in Florida. I still play with the lead guitarist, Dan Toler, from time to time. Such a shame Duane and Berry Oakley were lost so young.
I love 71 dead. For me, this was their best year--raw, vocals were getting dialed in, straight ahead rock and roll with just the right amount of blues and country. Best damn bar band in the universe from 1970 to 1972.
Duane played slide for alot of bands & singers. Everybody wanted him cause he was the best. And he hasn't been equaled since. RIP Skydog. You are missed terribly.
@SuperFirewire1 Are you kidding? Jerry and Duane are trading licks without stepping on each other all the way through this magnificent piece. You can tell the difference -- all of their different vocabularies are in there. Listen to the different ways they slide up to the notes -- Duane's slide work is unmistakeable and inimitable. That is Bob Weir on the rhythm. And some sweet harp by Pigpen. This is a real treasure -- thanks so much for posting it.
The Great Peter Green was also on stage jamming that Saturday night with members of the Dead, Allman Bros. along with members of Green;s own band Fleetwood Mac....Mac wasn't playing anywhere in NY that they just stopped by to jam - Good friends of the Dead when Macs stayed with them in SF.----Can you imagine Peter Green, Duane & Garcia jamming on the same stage - Phil Lesh talks about that night in his book & people who were lucky enough to be there also said it was just an unbelievable show!!
Damit i was at the last parking lot at soldier field that Jerry played in 95, sure wish i was smart enough back then to appreciate Jerry and tried to see him live that summer, long live good music
I clearly remember those last few months of the Fillmore East in NYC April thru June, 1971...This was the Dead's last run there, 4 or 5 nights ....This is just an AWESOME recording and special moment in a special time featuring some of the greatest players in hte 20th century!!!
Jerry and Duane jamming together-what a WONDERFUL gift to the world. Glad you found this and even more glad you shared this amazing piece of RocknRoll/Blues History
Holy shit... my heart skipped a beat as I read the title for this video. This is pretty much my dream. Duane Allman playing on Hurts Me Too. God... possibly the greatest video on RUclips.
Ahhh the sound of The Grateful Dead. There was nothing like it. It was a spirit they had. It was magic. And to hear Duane Allman playing with them, I don't care if it was out or tune or whatever, it's priceless. Thank you for sharing💕
That's really really cool. Check out in the area under the video there's a link to live archive with the rest of the show. Duane played on 3 tunes that night, I think. This was the best imo, which is why i uploaded it.
19 people didn't like it? Lol! Grateful Dead WITH Duane Allman?? Maybe it's informal, or late night, or an out take... I dunno... But c'mon, man! Its priceless!😳😁
The great DUANE ALLMAN with THE GRATEFUL DEAD in 1971. I got to see them in concert at VANDERBILT STADIUM in Nashville that very same year! 1 of greatest concerts to start out my lifetime of a devoted concert participant! Duane was so much better than JERRY GARCIA! RIP TO 2 GREAT LEGENDS! You can sure tell that's DUNAE PICKING!! GREAT MEMORIES!!
Thanks! Liked and subscribed! Duane is always fantastic, and it was interesting to hear his interaction with Phil's unique style playing a Blues Standard. Pigpen's singing and harmonica on this tune makes me cry.
The B&W photo of the Grateful Dead is in San Francisco, in the 60s. Remember that time period with great nostalgia! Grateful Dead were awesome and so was Duane Allman. He left this life too soon.. as did a lot of greats! Glad this was recorded and whoever posted this, I thank you! Great music!
went down to atlanta in 69 a deadhead.... allmans a local group playing around.... sat just feet from duane in piedmont park while he played ....i thought wow these local bands are pretty good .... saw the allmans jam with goose creek in a local club that summer
U are so lucky! Two of my favorite bands of all time..i was born too late unfortunately but that would have no doubt been a dream! Rock on! Thanks for sharing...
He is absolutely awesome. In this tune, he pulled them back into the song, when it wandered off at times, by playing lead on the bass. Only Phil.could do that.
The amazing part of the 2-11-70 Fillmore jam was 'Spanish Jam,'featuring Jerry Garcia, Peter Green, & Duane jamming, that led into 'Turn on your Lovelight'... BLISS..
@1bestguitaristever @inhousevideo - I'm just glad Duane, Elmore the Dead and others took the time to play this music and share it with us. Wishing everyone here a very happy new year.
The Grateful Dead and The Allman Brothers were/are band with the genius of being able to construct melody. Few bands today, or for that matter, few in history have been able to do that consistently, especially live. The Band was also such a group and, if not for various mood-enhancers unique to each band, one of the greatest concerts on American soil should have been at Watkins Glen (reported 600,000 in attendance) in the summer of "73.
11th row in st Louis. everyone standing on folding chairs the entire show. here in oc ca people will not do that on a concrete floor. I took my wife to a dead show at domingues hills. then she hated A B B because of all the dead heads. some folks do not like a good circus. life is a carnival.
swyman10 So very thankful to have a very cool dad who took me to shows with him as a child, and we still do till this day, one of our favorite things to do together! I've seen the Allman Brothers many times in my life and feel so fortunate to have been able to experience it! Saw them for the last time in 2013😕
Fabulous summer of think it was ‘70 but whose to say, allman bros. rented a house in Roxbury, on 3 or 4 sundays showed up at the Cambridge commons for a free concert couple of hours or so, pretty pretty good...
Dapdoi Ardon - There's quite a bit of great non-Allmans Duane stuff. Please Be With Me by Cowboy and Aretha's cover of The Weight come to mind. By the way, I love that Stonybrook performance of Blue Sky. Absolutely incredible and always puts me in a great mood. Both Duane and Dickey's solos were gorgeous. By the way, what is "LaOALS"?
What an era to have fun. (just look at any BGP Fillmore posters you can see that) I saw my 1st GD show in 1985 but the fun had been clearly on for quite a long while before then. 10 blessed years I got off at the bus stop in 1995, payed respects at FareTheeWell and now for the last 3 years for me a spark is lit again and try to see D&Co. wherever I can. All I have to say is thank fucking god not everyone gets the magic.... I personally never try to convince anyone that the Dead hold the good stuff. It's enough that I know they do. I will expose fun, kind people to shows but rarely uppity musicians And I've played drums 43 years now so I know a couple. Some people don't understand that 1 note from Jerry (1 forgotten Weir lyric even, etc...) to my family and to afflicted Deadheads carries tons more power than 1000 notes perfectly placed just so from (insert guitar god here). Is Mayer dumbing down? I don't think so. I think we can all agree he's paying homage to someone he respects and humbly filling big ass shoes. The songs will live on, my hope is the pixie dust does too. Is this the best Hurts me Too? doesn't matter if it's mine but I'm glad to know it's some folks. Duane better than Jerry? What kind of stupid comment is that? So stupid I wasted 10 minutes of my life ranting so I guess I'm the stupid
Duane and Jerry... 2 of the all time coolest most original and tasty guitarists ever ! They can take me for a joy ride like none other. Jamming in heavens for sure now
In my opinion I believe Duane was the GOAT. Back then, he was the most sure-footed guitarist around. All the great musicians wanted Duane to play on their LP he was greatly sought after. I also believe that he was the greatest electric slide player ever. His knock em Dead slide work on "done somebody wrong" , don't keep me wonderin' and Dunkin' hearted boy can never be duplicated and was the greatest slide playing of all time.
@IslaGC09 - you're most very welcome. There's also a killer Lovelight you might like from 1970 (its the video response below) with Greg Allman and Pigpen sharing vocals, Jerry, Duane and others on guitars...
@chasefukuoka61 Thanks for that one too! That Lovelight is epic. Hard to pick out who's who at times with all the musicians playing. The spanish jam is good too!
Very beautiful! I think this has to be the closing of the Fillmore East Week.... The Dead had a 5 night run this might have been night 2 maybe a Tuesday night.. I believe that Duane stayed on stage for only one more tune.... 'Sugar Magnolia'. I went into the city on my own that night and got the once in a life time ..... , me looking for a spare ticket and some dude says here... 'Is it a good seat I ask?' ..... .... Front row. ... (Night 5 was pretty goodToo!)
I think if Pig had not passed, the Dead would be much different. But not in a bad way. He had a lot of heart, and basically carried them through their very early years. Here's to Ron "Pigpen" McKernan. RIP.
Don't know what Pigpen had, but it was stellar... Nothing spectacular about his voice, but is spellbinding along with Duane's guitar, and Garcia having the genius to know what was happening and just letting it flow naturally!! This is truly amazing music history... (side note) if you can find it somewhere listen to John Lee Hooker talking about Pigpen... Funny stuff, true but funny... You can hear the love and respect in his voice... In my opinion if you had John Lee Hooker's respect, you pretty much had all you needed (musically)...
I think the evening with Peter Green that Phil wrote about was a year earlier. I uploaded the first part of their jam during Love Light, its to the right here- "Love Light, 2/11/70 ☮ Grateful Dead & Allman Brothers" It's truly amazing to listen to.
Duane is the GOAT in my opinion. There are many great guitar players but to me he is the only one who could sit in with literally anyone. He always plays the right notes at the right time.
Jerry is right up there with Duane he makes wrong notes into right ones like fuckin houdini
It's not what you play, it's how you play it. Duane is one of my favs (I always go between Dave Gilmour and he after Hendrix) because he just smashes every note. From bends to slides to vibrato, everything moves and it moves you. Everyone should play and sing just like this. :) Be the wizard that makes the whole crowd feel it and you'll be adored.

I have him on an album with Herbie Mann doin' his Jazz thang, he was very diversified.
I will say Butch Trucks Nephew isn't anything to sneeze at either
Right on 👍 @@joeltemple2159
@@joeltemple2159 And his biggest influence was Duane .
Duane and Jerry just so relaxed and trusting of each other. Lots of humility gratitude and just living in the moment
Respect for each other. No haters then. It was all about LOVE. Im an old hippie too.
@@cyndygough5410 And about the music.
Great guitar picking between Gerry and Duane! There'll never be another!
Duane never disappoints
Without him this sounds like cats crying. He was the best
@SuperFirewire1 Are you kidding? Jerry and Duane are trading licks without stepping on each other all the way through this magnificent piece. You can tell the difference -- all of their different vocabularies are in there. Listen to the different ways they slide up to the notes -- Duane's slide work is unmistakeable and inimitable. That is Bob Weir on the rhythm. And some sweet harp by Pigpen. This is a real treasure -- thanks so much for posting it.

This is timeless. A true masterpiece.
Fantastic rendition of one of the all time great blues tunes!!
Oh, Duane (gone later that same year). Oh, Jerry. Oh, Pig Pen (less than 2 years after this). All gone too soon. Recordings like this are priceless
This is divine music with bigger soul than the whole planet. People who do not dig this are senseless zombies.
Damit i was at the last parking lot at soldier field that Jerry played in 95, sure wish i was smart enough back then to appreciate Jerry and tried to see him live that summer, long live good music
This is a gem! There’s no denying that’s Duane playing slide. Great blues

a great time in music with no b.s just people playing songs together making great music
I was born entirely too late. Thank God we have RUclips.
Learn to play?
Me too!
Me to 18 years young just now getting into Grateful Dead.
Music from a period never to return...if you missed it there is a hole in your soul...
RIP Pigpen, RIP Jerry, and RI fucking P Duane. Beautiful music.
RIP
Duane Allman. Lots of him here. Love it!
Jerry and Duane jamming together-what a WONDERFUL gift to the world. Glad you found this and even more glad you shared this amazing piece of RocknRoll/Blues History
jtragic: Jerry was indistinguishable in that jam. What you had was uncle Ronny and Duane at their best.

Oh my god. This is awesome stuff. I knew that Duane Allman played with the Dead but have never heard any recordings of it. Thanks for the post.
Duane on slide, Pigpen on harp. this is BLUES!!!!
Oh yeah, you said it!
My fav years then pig pen passed dead never the same
19 people didn't like it? Lol! Grateful Dead WITH Duane Allman?? Maybe it's informal, or late night, or an out take... I dunno... But c'mon, man! Its priceless!😳😁
There's some people who always know the answer and it's always "no"
There could be a video of Jesus healing a leper and someone would dislike it. Just the way it is. Cheers.
This song is perfect with and for Duane... some people just don't get it.
lon schieder - some people only have taste in mouths...
There's only so much of this stuff around, what a pleasure. Wish there were more hours in the day to listen to it.
Damn! I really miss Duane!
Yea... ya think?
we all do!!!!!!!!
Simply magnificent. I'm speechless.
how did he do so much in 24 year's of life. really about 8 . This sounds great.

Duane in league of his own man
Thanks! Liked and subscribed! Duane is always fantastic, and it was interesting to hear his interaction with Phil's unique style playing a Blues Standard. Pigpen's singing and harmonica on this tune makes me cry.
Great song. I first heard this classic delivered by John Mayall nearly 50 years ago and kept it with me since.

Wow! Never heard this. Thanks! 🍻🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🥀🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🙏🏽

damn dude this concert was 2 months before duanes crash, charishing every moment
6 months
Tampa Red - 1929👍
Duane and the Dead did a great job on his song💞
This is 1 of the best bootlegs ever made
Duane- a legend. Lucky enough to have seen Greg Allman as a warmup to BB King, then they played together at Westbury Music Fair in New York years ago.
Duane and Jerry... 2 of the all time coolest most original and tasty guitarists ever ! They can take me for a joy ride like none other. Jamming in heavens for sure now
In my opinion I believe Duane was the GOAT. Back then, he was the most sure-footed guitarist around. All the great musicians wanted Duane to play on their LP he was greatly sought after.

Ohhhh so darn fine....all I can say is !!!!!!! ! I also have a hell with the yeah for Duane's sweet voice...."It hurts me too...."
Lightning in a bottle. Duane and Jerry jammin' and Pigpen on vocals and harp. All doing a classic blues song justice and then some.
Cool to hear Jerry sit back and rhythm fill so much on this. Just good roadhouse rock and roll.
Pigpen's vocals and soul send shivers down my spine....
@chasefukuoka61 Absolutely Duane on this track, no mistake. This is just an amazing fucking post, thanks so much. Never knew it existed.
R.I.P Duane..The 1 and only!!!
Memories.......This was one of the first shows (on cassette tapes ) my cuz made for me in circa 1981. Awesome quality. Grateful for this post.
Super number...Duanne and Jerry at their best
lots of silly and nasty comments - please just thank anyone who uploads duane's mgic
Copy that Frere. You aint never going to hear these guys do anything new, drunk or sober. Enjoy what you got.
YES
not only are they all playing really well together but some awesome bass playing going on in there too!! Cool music
grew up hear the ultimate match pig,jerry an Duane didnt realize Skydog was accompanying on this
Absolute Heaven! Thank you for posting this!!

What a player Duane!!
wasn't that written or famously performed by guitarist and black singer Elmore James back in the 1950's or 1940's?
@chasefukuoka61 Thanks for that one too! That Lovelight is epic. Hard to pick out who's who at times with all the musicians playing. The spanish jam is good too!
This is killer footage tracks. . Damn. Save this for the ages. god damn its good.

Sweet!
My birth year. Yep.
8 years older. Thanks to my Aunt at 16 dating a 19yr old guitar player, i was enlightened to Morrison, Allmans, Scaggs, and the Stones.
I think if Pig had not passed, the Dead would be much different. But not in a bad way. He had a lot of heart, and basically carried them through their very early years. Here's to Ron "Pigpen" McKernan. RIP.
"Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man."
Right on the money Al. A real harmonic convergence.
George Frame: No... that would be Telluride.

Nothing spectacular about his voice, but is spellbinding along with Duane's guitar, and Garcia having the genius to know what was happening and just letting it flow naturally!! This is truly amazing music history... (side note) if you can find it somewhere listen to John Lee Hooker talking about Pigpen... Funny stuff, true but funny...

This is what happened when a group of guys played for the love of playing!💀🥀
Love those alpine valley memories

Thanks for the archive link. Nice pix of the boys, btw. ;) Another keeper from your lovely vids. Have a grate one.
Elmore was with Duane the night he visited you, then they both came over to my place for some Crown Royal and we all had a good laugh.
@dhz35 - you're very welcome! Yeah, its great hearing Jerry and Duane play together.
Don't take this so seriously fella, I'm glad you dig these guys.
They did quite a few shows on the same bill back then. Probably the 2 bands with the most 10+ minute jams
I think the evening with Peter Green that Phil wrote about was a year earlier. I uploaded the first part of their jam during Love Light, its to the right here- "Love Light, 2/11/70 ☮ Grateful Dead & Allman Brothers" It's truly amazing to listen to.
