    I've heard this song hundreds of times since 1972 when I became a fan ABB., including 8 times in concert. Derek Trucks is a phenomenal talent. To see him up there with Warren Haynes, another superb player, and legend Eric Clapton is truly joyous. Long live the Allman Brothers Band and their incredible music

      Hey Ramesh N,this is Jeff Yoder the ol'broke down scooter tramp, exbiker, and I've been a big time Allman brothers band fan since they were one of the most notable of the bands and musicians that led the Southern Rock wave that took over the British invasion here in the US and around the world because of the collective talents and varied styles of music 🎶 that was Southern Rock

      @@KickflipGnasty Hey Kick, hope I didn't leave the wrong impression about Clapton. Wow he has done it all with everyone thats come to the scene in the past 50 years. Some of his stuff got drowned when he played with different people and the comment was intended as a compliment because he hits these licks as good as anytime before the Allman Bros did them with the exception to Duane' presence. The Allman Bros were what all others that came after were measured by and that is a major compliment to Clapton. You think there was ever a guitar player alive that his level of performance was raised
      .about as much as it could be knowing what people will draw conclusion from. Duane was better every day until he left us too soon. I'm just one opinion and Clapton nailed it in that tune. Hats off!!

      Exactly right. They're all playing Duane's and Clapton's songs from 40-45 years ago if you watch the longer clip of :54 minutes. You have onstage about 3 generations blending! There's no reason why this music, these musicians won't be as known in 200, 300 years like Beethoven and Mozart are today. That said, I think Eric bobbled early. Likely dazed by DT like the rest of us, if indeed it even occurred. This song and this show gave us three virtuoso players whose music and lives are threads in the same cloth. Just amazing.

    I have a collection of Cream bootlegs from the 60's, and like others commenting here, I'm pleased to see Eric going boldly forward on this one. My favorite Clapton recordings are from the Cream reunion in '05. Whereas Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker seemed past their peak, Eric was at the top of his game in combining melodic and technical skill at 60 years old. Also, I totally support his willingness to take the attacks last year for simply speaking up about his experience with getting injured from the Covid jabs.

      Derek certainly pushed him to higher heights. That's the kind of thing you only see Clapton do if he has other great musicians pushing him. After Derek's solo I actually wondered what Clapton was gonna do, considering this is not a song he's used to playing and knows his way around like Derek and Warren do and Derek just did... whatever the hell that was. Of course, Clapton did what he always does when pushed. He soared.

      I think he's saying Derek pushed him to play a little harder. Just like The Last Waltz. Clapton pushed Robbie Robertson to the limit, Robbie responded and that's where the magic comes in. Not that it's a competition, but most musicians that "jam" appreciate being on stage with others that can bring it, so to speak. They bring out the best in each other.

    "In my humble opinion, Dickey Bett's composition, "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" is one of the finest instrumental songs of our musical era. The version we all came to know on Idlewild South was a masterpiece itself but when the At Fillmore East album came out, we really got a taste of how epic this song would become to us. The impact on my playing and how I would view other jam bands would be measured and compared, in part, to this one song.
    The live version is a breathtaking piece with intricately woven passages, where time signatures and rhythm patterns dance and the music is alive and vibrant with electricity. The way the band played this song live, with section changes and lead solo hand offs on this occasion on AFE was flawless; the syncopated interaction between Butch and Jaimoe was thrilling, propelling the kinetics of the band's timing with unerring precision.
    Berry's wonderful bass lines and intricate bursts of melody were uncanny, feeding off the rhythms and leads of Gregg, Duane and Dickey, and rather than seeming to hang on for dear life, Berry intuitively integrated the percussion section with well-timed complimentary bass patterns to accompany those ferocious lead solos.
    The swirling chords and notes of Gregg's B3 during the song are majestic and rich with supple tones and his solo is powerful and concise. The band was smooth and surfing the groove the whole time.
    And of course the lead solos by Dickey and Duane are branded into our musical memories. The intensity and urgency of the solos are undeniable as each master of the guitar creates tension, an ebb and flow, in and of the moment. By the time the band surges into the riff that signals the end of the song, you are exhilarated and have absorbed the passion that passed from them to you. Passed to us every time like a great gift that never disappoints.
    Written by Dickey Betts and performed with able support from the best band in the land, Duane always made sure that Dickey got proper credit for his composition and we do too. Thank you Dickey. Happy birthday!"
