What metric are hyou using to define best? I would really like to know, or is it just your fav? Personally Derek bores me, he tends to overdo solos so much , he needs to learn less is more. He really needs to listen to Kossoff.
My sons are in their 30's and listen to all kinds of music. Old and new. Recently my son is playing this on his phone after Dickey passed away. I just smiled. What else could i do. 😁
Terrible, right. Although, he had a rough way of life. I am getting ready to reboot an old channel about music and reminded people at the end of my RIP that it's not for us to reconcile loved ones when they pass. I don't know who they replaced Yonrico and M'butu with, do you?
Young Duane did himself and his dad proud on this one. NICE. I liked that he put his own licks in most of this, then the signature licks of his dad's, right at the end of his solo, with the guitar harmony and all. Call me a sentimental old fart, but I clouded up, a little, with it.
Sentiment is one of mans greatest attributes. I'd rather be on the battlefield with someone who's sentimental than a man in it with a cold heart an selfish soul. You most likely feel the music more than a lot of people I cry alot listening to the Allman Brothers an the Grateful Dead.
I think of Duane Betts as the next generation from the Allman Brothers, but for some reason I don't think of Derek Trucks that way as much -- probably because Derek played in the ABB for 15 years, and those 15 years were my second favorite era of the ABB, second only to the early years with Duane Allman. (Though the early 1990s were a great era too.) But in reality, you're right. Derek and Duane are both part of that next generation, in the sense that each of them is either the son or the nephew of an original ABB member. And yes, it's wonderful to hear them keeping these great songs alive.
I absolutely love this!!! Side note: If you have not checked out Jason Bonham Led Zeppelin Experience, you should! Talk about 2nd generation of the greatest of all time… he’s been playing zeppelin longer than zeppelin played zeppelin!
I happened to be at the Allman Brothers concert at The Manhattan Center in NYC August 18th 1971. They debuted”Blue Sky “that night. I was so excited to hear a new song that I hadn’t heard by them. I was especially excited when Dickey sang going to Carolina because I’m a proud Tarheel.
Man, for us old enough to have seen young long haired Dickey back in the day, this is eerily wonderful! What a fine job folks! One of the most perfect songs ever!
Absolutely love this!!!!! Close your eyes and you’re transported to the 70’s!!! Great talent, 2nd generation honoring some of the very best that ever lived!!!
2nd Time watching this. Absolutely so blown away impressed with the stellar clean picking from Dickey’s Son Duane. Love Derek and He’s a Monster. But Duane truly makes the Great song rambling solo so reminiscent of His father. RIP Dickey❤️
I am so blessed to have grown up with this great muse . I was at the Fillmore East 3/ 12 / 71 and too many other shows to count since Blue Skies is always a favorite the guitar interplay was always awesome then and now no surprise that these two great young guitarists would keep it so close to the roots God bless Southern Rock
Dickies son rockn for dad and himself! Susan and hubby rockn it out with style The brothers are smiling down upon you all ,keep the spirit going they live and so we!! Stay blessed
Amazing to see these two collaborating. I met Derek when he was a pre-teen and then went to see his shows in downtown West Palm Beach. Butch would call my radio show and promote his shows. Hung out with Duane's dad at a capitol hill hotel during a radio conference. We smoked , drank a beer and talked about his new solo album. He was the nicest rock star. Bravo guys and Susan as always!
Dang, he looks and sounds so much like Dicky. That's crazy, but it's very cool. And he is a darn nice person, met him years ago when he was playing with Great Southern, just a kid.
There were certain times during this performance that I thought WAS actually seeing Dicky! Amazing! Love this!!! Can’t wait to see Tedeschi Trucks in Milwaukee this August! Wouldn’t it be great if Duane was there too? Thank you for posting this.
Not only are they extremely talented but in a way extremely brave. Knowing they will be compared to one of, if not the greatest live band in history takes more than great talent. I've seen nearly every band from late 60's through 70's in concert, including Allman Brothers 10+ times; Zeppelin, Clapton, Stones, Deep Purple, Eagles, Beach Boys to name just a fraction; the most powerful and dynamic band imo -The Allman Brothers. There's a great reason why Clapton was so impressed.
Thank you...fantastic...goose bumps..!its a rainy day her in east tenn..but the sun just came out as im seeing this sitting on back of my truck...😁..god bless ALLA YALL..!
Outstanding! Have heard this in so many iterations since the impeccable brilliant original and this one stands out for it's soul and pure musicianship. Derek brings it to another level like he does just about everything and Duane just brings it. Bravo!
Derek is a tuff act to follow- but Dickey’s Son rolled into the Jam like a good old Sunday morning! Duane Betts killed it here. Dickey’s Legacy lives on❤️
DUANE IS CERTAINLY GETTING BETTER -- GOT GIVE HIM CREDIT FOR GETTING ON THE STAGE WITH THE LIKES OF TRUCKS & IN THE SHADOW OF HIS DADDY -- HE'S GETTING THERE
Tedeschi &Trucks, true musicians keeping the music alive, keeping the family close. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could all communicate through music at this point.
That was so emotional to see. I’m in floods of tears. That song is a thread that runs through my whole life and TTB and Dickie paid massive respect to the original. A masterful and joyful performance all round. Thanks for posting!
Stunningly talented group. The joy is evident. Nailing this Song so definitively is the greatest tribute that one could pay to the Allman Brothers, and only people of such talent could approach this. All the feeling, all the style and as close to perfection as one could imagine.
Re-watching today to remember Dickey. An absolute joy to watch Derek and Duane honor him so well with this tribute. Rest easy, Dickey.
This is the best band out today. No one else comes close.
The war on drugs?
100%
Could watch them every night
What metric are hyou using to define best? I would really like to know, or is it just your fav? Personally Derek bores me, he tends to overdo solos so much , he needs to learn less is more. He really needs to listen to Kossoff.
@@markhill9275 I love Derek's solos. The rest of the band's musicians are all top-flight musicians. Tell me what band out today is better.
Susan,especially Susan smiling the whole time.Even Derek showing some rare emotion.God Bless Southern Rock!
Maybe someone needs to tell him its ok if you smile once in awhile when you play
😊💜☮️🎼🎸🙏🌈
My sons are in their 30's and listen to all kinds of music. Old and new. Recently my son is playing this on his phone after Dickey passed away. I just smiled. What else could i do. 😁

Hearing Duane simply nail his dad's time honored signature licks...Yes! Great rendition!
Nice to see the beaded guitar strap, and glad he left the fringe jacket home.
Rest in peace, Dickey Betts. Your music lives on.
Young Duane did himself and his dad proud on this one. NICE. I liked that he put his own licks in most of this, then the signature licks of his dad's, right at the end of his solo, with the guitar harmony and all. Call me a sentimental old fart, but I clouded up, a little, with it.

Heartwarming to see the 2nd generation playing the classics
👍✌️🎸
I could not agree more ❤
Totally amazing!

Anytime you feel low, Close your eyes, take a few deep breaths, and let this gem of a song wash over you with its Blue Sky cheer.
Maybe even fire up a nice blunt 😎☀️😊
This song does exactly that just was never able to put it in words, cheers for that!
This song has always put me in a good mood when life’s got me down. Or, in a good mood anytime!

Man I'm jealous I was 12 at the time, would have loved to see Duane and the Cats! But I was listening!!😊😊
Man - Derek Trucks, Duane Betts and of course, Susan Tedeschi. It doesn't get any better.
Man, for us old enough to have seen young long haired Dickey back in the day, this is eerily wonderful! What a fine job folks! One of the most perfect songs ever!
This tune brings back such great memories . Thank you God for the Allman Brothers music
Absolutely love this!!!!! Close your eyes and you’re transported to the 70’s!!!
Great talent, 2nd generation honoring some of the very best that ever lived!!!
2nd Time watching this. Absolutely so blown away impressed with the stellar clean picking from Dickey’s Son Duane. Love Derek and He’s a Monster. But Duane truly makes the Great song rambling solo so reminiscent of His father. RIP Dickey❤️
No disrespect to anyone else, but Derek Trucks has to be the best blues rock guitarist on the planet by a country mile! Wow!!
I am so blessed to have grown up with this great muse . I was at the Fillmore East 3/ 12 / 71 and too many other shows to count since Blue Skies is always a favorite the guitar interplay was always awesome then and now no surprise that these two great young guitarists would keep it so close to the roots God bless Southern Rock
Yes totaly one my most favs
My gosh...oh my
This music will live forever
Thank god
I think this is the best live version of this song. I've ever heard!
Magical ❤🎉 RIP DB❤
Excellent version of Blue Sky. Duane, you definitely did your dad and the man you were named after proud with your guitar playing on that song 💯🔥
Dickies son rockn for dad and himself! Susan and hubby rockn it out with style The brothers are smiling down upon you all ,keep the spirit going they live and so we!! Stay blessed
One of the greatest songs ever written,has it all.Love that Dickey Betts signature dual lead guitar.Great lyrics
You Might as well call this Allman Brothers and Sister and let it roll....fantastic
This is the closest thing we have to the Allman Brothers today. Even to the layout of the stage
Brothers and Sisters
Rock it Duane. Hell Yeah! Los Angeles
Mr Betts, this is the best solo on Blue Sky since original duo on Eat a Pitch 👏👏👏👏
Just wonderful. Golly, he's the spittin' image of his daddy, not only in looks but in mannerisms and playing too.
Duane is really starting to grow! I think coming out from Dickey's shadow has helped! Derek nd Duane ream up well!
Amazing to see these two collaborating. I met Derek when he was a pre-teen and then went to see his shows in downtown West Palm Beach. Butch would call my radio show and promote his shows. Hung out with Duane's dad at a capitol hill hotel during a radio conference. We smoked , drank a beer and talked about his new solo album. He was the nicest rock star. Bravo guys and Susan as always!
So many thumbs up. thanks to the boys for letting me remember just how good it was. RIP Dicky
tonite @ the sun sand soul festival. yep yep yepper
Incredible. Thanks for sharing.
Talk about roots...drummer wearing a Beatles t-shirt, made me smile
The Road Goes on Forever...
Well said.
Great guitar Duane looks just like Dicky at the same age
Dang, he looks and sounds so much like Dicky. That's crazy, but it's very cool. And he is a darn nice person, met him years ago when he was playing with Great Southern, just a kid.
There were certain times during this performance that I thought WAS actually seeing Dicky! Amazing! Love this!!! Can’t wait to see Tedeschi Trucks in Milwaukee this August! Wouldn’t it be great if Duane was there too? Thank you for posting this.
Beautiful couple
My mantra has always been: "Early morning sunrise tells me all I need to know..."
I'd like to hear Duane sing this.
Blues is Alive + Well MARCH 2024

Awesome Duane Betts !!!!
Killer rendition of a classic!
Not only are they extremely talented but in a way extremely brave. Knowing they will be compared to one of, if not the greatest live band in history takes more than great talent.

There's a great reason why Clapton was so impressed.
Trucks has been in the ABB for decades
Duane killed it! And of course Derek is Derek, fantastic. So impressed with Duane's development @ Damn kid, you're good!
Some of the greatest musicians.. of the 21st century....
Keeping it alive and passing it on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Dickey. RIP................
Outstanding! Have heard this in so many iterations since the impeccable brilliant original and this one stands out for it's soul and pure musicianship. Derek brings it to another level like he does just about everything and Duane just brings it. Bravo!
His father’s song written for his mother (Sandy Blue Sky) .
So happy I found this. Makes me want to cry
Luv TTB! A classy band who knows the history of the ALLman Brothers Band and Duane Bettsfor honoring his dad!
Derek is a tuff act to follow- but Dickey’s Son rolled into the Jam like a good old Sunday morning! Duane Betts killed it here. Dickey’s Legacy lives on❤️

DUANE IS CERTAINLY GETTING BETTER -- GOT GIVE HIM CREDIT FOR GETTING ON THE STAGE WITH THE LIKES OF TRUCKS & IN THE SHADOW OF HIS DADDY -- HE'S GETTING THERE
